Tokyu Corporation has concluded an agreement with Setagaya City regarding the web platform 'Tsukurite' for community fan building, and will begin full-scale operations in the city starting April 1, 2026.
This service is a web platform that connects organizers planning local events or solutions to community issues with participants who want to get involved based on their interests. The results of demonstration experiments conducted in the city since May 2025 were highly evaluated, leading to its official introduction as a mechanism to support sustainable community attractiveness.
Moving forward, the private and public sectors will collaborate, leveraging their respective strengths to solve challenges such as the difficulty of finding participation opportunities and the shortage of local community leaders. It will support Setagaya's 'Participation and Collaboration' town-making goal and promote a 'mutual aid system for residents' where everyone can autonomously engage in community building.
In the demonstration experiments held through the end of February 2026, approximately 700 people participated in total. A survey conducted in November 2025 showed that about 25% were repeaters and nearly 30% were from outside the city, showing a movement of participation across regional borders. High satisfaction levels from both organizers and participants across broad age groups, including younger generations, demonstrated the platform's effectiveness in nurturing local talent. Furthermore, the public-private partnership succeeded in attracting individuals previously uninterested in local activities, expanding the potential pool of community leaders.
With the full-scale launch in April, the service will undergo functional enhancements. Specifically, it will refresh the UI/UX for better usability and update specifications to support use by multiple municipalities. It will also allow organizers to recruit members via the web and introduce a new organizer introduction page to reach community fans. In addition to the current Instagram account, a new official LINE account will be launched to promote information and participation more broadly.
In the future, the platform aims to expand beyond 'human' matching (volunteers) to comprehensively match all resources needed for community activities, including locations, items, and funds. This will go beyond simply solving 'labor shortages' to support the execution of local activities. Furthermore, Tokyu plans to accelerate expansion to municipalities along the Tokyu lines and across Japan, aiming to create a model for 'relationship populations' connecting urban and regional areas. The goal is for 'Tsukurite' to become a role model for public-private partnerships and a foundation for sustainable community building nationwide.
