Shared bicycle ports for "ChariChari" and "HELLO CYCLING" have opened at Nagasaki Stadium City! ~Bringing the city's energy to the entire city of Nagasaki. Aiming to improve accessibility to surrounding areas, a test ride event will be held on (Wed), October 28th.~

Nagasaki Stadium City is pleased to announce that it will install a shared bicycle service port within its facilities, jointly operated by ChariChari Co., Ltd. and OpenStreet Co., Ltd. in Nagasaki City, starting October 28, 2026 (Wed).
With the introduction of this service, as we celebrate our second anniversary and welcome many visitors from both within and outside the prefecture, we aim to improve accessibility between Nagasaki Stadium City and Nagasaki City, facilitate smooth travel to tourist destinations within Nagasaki City using the facility as a base, and contribute to the further development of sports tourism and the creation of a vibrant city.

■Expected effects of port installation

1. Improving "walkability" starting from Nagasaki Stadium City.
Ports will be set up throughout Nagasaki City, including one within Nagasaki Stadium City. Using this facility as a base, we will create an environment where people can easily visit nearby tourist attractions and the city center before and after events, contributing to the creation of a vibrant city.

[Estimated cycling time from Nagasaki Stadium City to various tourist destinations]
・Approximately 10 minutes to Peace Park
- Approximately 15 minutes to Shinchi Chinatown
・Approximately 18 minutes to Glover Garden

2. Improved access to Nagasaki Station and avoidance of congestion.
It's easily accessible from Nagasaki Station by bicycle in about 5 minutes. This allows you to avoid the crowds on the way to and from games, concerts, and events, and travel smoothly at your own pace.

3. Introduction of "electric assist" bicycles for comfortable riding even in the hilly streets of Nagasaki City.
Nagasaki is characterized by its hilly terrain, but by using electric-assist bicycles, even visitors who are not confident in their physical strength or who have a lot of luggage can move around comfortably. It reduces the burden of getting around the hilly city of Nagasaki and allows you to enjoy smooth cycling over a wider area.
