[Konan Ward, Yokohama City] Launch of Child-Rearing Support Free Paper 'Staris☆Konandai'! Mom-Focused Events and Workshops Also Held ♪ Local Free Paper Enters a New Stage

Our company, which has supported 'Staris☆Yokohama' since its inception, supporting starts, restarts, and regional revitalization, endorses April Dream's mission to 'make April 1st a day to share dreams.'
This press release announcing the publication of 'Staris☆Konandai' is a dream of T.N.K. Co., Ltd.

1. What is the Reliable Free Paper & WEB Media 'Staris☆Yokohama'?

'Staris☆Yokohama' (https://sss-yokohama.com/) has the theme of 'Support.'

For approximately 8 years since 2018, through partnerships with Yahoo! and sponsoring companies, we have sincerely and carefully disseminated only reliable information, not aiming for mere clicks, and have become a web media with many articles ranking on the top page of search results.

Our editor-in-chief, who has served as PR for multiple companies for many years and is a fellow professional gathered from those who are active or have been active as writers and editors for popular women's magazines and niche specialized magazines (print media), disseminates information valuing 'connections' and 'gratitude.'

In addition to our daily updated website, we also publish local free papers supporting regions and women, such as the 'Hadano Edition' and 'Chousen Edition.' These have been picked up by many people at stations along the Minatomirai Line in Yokohama and tourist information centers, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to support restaurants and facilities.

2. 'Girls' Night Out' Seminars and Monitor Gatherings Held in 'Real Life'

Our activities go beyond mere information dissemination. With the sponsorship and cooperation of companies and sponsors who have contacted 'Staris☆Yokohama,' beloved brands we are close with, and PR representatives who support women's empowerment, we hold free women's support networking events and gatherings.

With the concept of 'taking home connections, knowledge, souvenirs, and excitement ♪' and 'connecting people in real life,' we plan and implement various events, study sessions, and fun 'girls' nights out' with added value, which are well-received.

◆ Examples of Companies Sponsoring/Cooperating in Events (2023-2026) (in no particular order, titles omitted)
Takarajima-sha / Sangi (Apagard) / Nature's Way / Hoshino Resorts / SHISEIDO / KIRIN (Gogo no Kocha) / Museums nationwide / Koransha (Ballet) / NIVEA KAO, and many others.

3. Publication of Child-Rearing & Mom Support Free Paper 'Staris☆Konandai'

While focusing on our main business (assisting companies and investors), 'Staris☆Yokohama' has been dedicated to supporting adult women's starts and restarts and revitalizing local communities. However, with the addition of mom writers, we have re-recognized the challenges of child-rearing and the current situation surrounding the declining birthrate. Since 2024, we have been focusing on participating in volunteer projects supporting mothers and babies, and increasing useful information such as outings with children and life hacks.

◆ Comment from the Editor-in-Chief of 'Staris☆Yokohama':

My own grandchild was born, and I introduced my daughter to the 'Oketani Breastfeeding Consultation Room,' which my mother, now gone, taught me about and where I took my daughter. We were helped immensely as a three-generation family, which fueled my desire to 'let more people know about Oketani method and Ms. Fusako Ishikawa, who is as warm and reliable as a mother.' Also, due to my connections (having bases in Yokodai, Konandai, Maruyamadai, and Kami-Ooka - residences in the past, now offices and warehouses), my desire to publish a free paper for my beloved Konan Ward grew stronger.

Furthermore, as a big fan of my regular doctor, 'Konandai Medical Mall,' and 'Okada Eye Clinic,' the popular cake shop 'Brugge no Oka,' the neighborhood bakery 'Bakery Stove,' and 'Konandai Birds,' which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, I hope that adult women and those raising children who frequent these places (or those who don't know about them yet) will be able to see it. From this wish, we decided on the name 'Staris☆Konandai.'

4. Featuring Carefully Selected Information Not Only from Konandai but Also Nearby Areas!

Although the name includes 'Konandai,' we plan to feature information not only from Konan Ward, Yokohama City, but also from its surrounding areas.

We will introduce recommended places that we have actually visited and only genuine word-of-mouth recommendations. Unlike information found solely through internet searches or AI, we deliver truly reliable and trustworthy information to mothers raising children and their families.

While the adult women's support web media 'Staris☆Yokohama' is convenient for many visitors from search engines, our periodically published print media (local free paper) includes benefits and coupons in an easy-to-understand format, which we hope will be helpful as a guidebook for mothers raising children.

5. Aiming for 'Booth Exhibitions' and 'Project Participation' with Sponsoring Companies

We were deeply impressed by our visit to the 'Child-Rearing Support Festival 2026 in Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel,' held for the first time on March 29, 2026, and we are eager to 'participate as a sponsor next year!'

Furthermore, by distributing the child-rearing support free paper 'Staris☆Konandai', which features benefits and gift tickets from participating companies, into initiatives like 'Hajimetebako' (First Box) which collects gifts useful for child-rearing, we aim to solve the problem of 'it's difficult for a small shop to afford booth exhibitions or advertising costs' and provide full mutual support.

We kindly ask for your support for this project from the residents of Yokohama City and Konan Ward, those who sympathize with supporting child-rearing, and anyone with recommended information! Please feel free to contact us via the 'Staris☆Yokohama' inquiry form.

✅ Please feel free to contact us via the 'Staris☆Yokohama' inquiry form.

6. Anyone Can Start & Restart at Any Age!

'Staris' in 'Staris☆Yokohama' (https://sss-yokohama.com/) is an abbreviation for Start & Ristart.

We will continue to support everyone's starts and restarts, and regional and child-rearing initiatives, so that you can enjoy a rich and fun life by challenging yourself with excitement at any age.

We welcome inquiries from companies, shops, and facilities that wish to participate or endorse. Let's liven things up together by disseminating information through print media, web, and social media!
