Overview
Regional Creation Nagasaki Co., Ltd. (株式会社リージョナルクリエーション長崎) is a Japanese corporate brand and operating company headquartered in Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture. It is a subsidiary of Japanet Holdings, the group behind the mail-order and television-shopping business Japanet Takata. The company was established on June 1, 2019, with stated capital of 100 million yen, and positions itself as the core vehicle for the Japanet Group's regional revitalization business in Nagasaki, the birthplace of Japanet's founding. The company's mission, as described on its official page, is to polish the appeal and value of Nagasaki together with the local community and to deliver an "present" filled with emotion and pride to both residents and visitors. It aims to establish a private-sector-led regional revitalization model that balances emotional value and business viability, providing high-quality, heartfelt service. Its business scope includes business strategy and planning related to regional revitalization, the planning and operation of Nagasaki Stadium City, restaurant planning and operation, and catering services. Regional Creation Nagasaki is best known as the business entity behind Nagasaki Stadium City, a large urban redevelopment project built on the former site of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Nagasaki Shipyard Kōyagi (幸町) plant. The project centers on a new stadium for the professional soccer club V-Varen Nagasaki, along with an arena, offices, commercial facilities, and a hotel. The company handles the project end-to-end, from strategy and planning to on-site operations and staff training. Nagasaki Stadium City had its grand opening on October 14, 2024, and has since received numerous awards, including the 2025 Nikkei Excellent Products and Services Award (Grand Prize), the 2025 Good Design Award, and international recognition at The Stadium Business Design & Development Awards 2025. The company also managed Inasayama Park and the Nagasaki Ropeway as a designated administrator from April 2020 to March 2025, in a joint venture with the Nagasaki Ropeway and Aquarium Foundation. It withdrew after its initial designation period ended, partly because plans to extend the ropeway to Nagasaki Stadium City did not progress as hoped. As of August 2024, the company reported 669 employees, including part-time and contract staff. Its headquarters is located in Kōyagi-machi, Nagasaki City, with another office in Fuchimachi, Nagasaki City. The representative director and president is Hideki Iwashita, with Akihito Takada as representative director and Takumi Matsuhashi and Kazunari Nakajima as executive officers. The company is a key example of Japanet Group's expansion from mail-order retail into regional development and sports-entertainment infrastructure.
History
Regional Creation Nagasaki Co., Ltd. was established on June 1, 2019, as a core company of the Japanet Group dedicated to regional revitalization in Nagasaki. Its origins trace back to the Japanet Group's involvement in the management reconstruction of V-Varen Nagasaki, a local professional soccer club that faced a management crisis. The group began supporting the club in 2017, and under the leadership of Takata Akio, the founder of Japanet Takata, the club achieved a revival. This experience led the group to position regional revitalization in Nagasaki as a second pillar of business alongside its mail-order operations, and Regional Creation Nagasaki was created as the central entity for that effort. The company's legal predecessor was Japanet Business Associates, established on January 1, 2016, in Hiu-machi, Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture. On April 26, 2018, a consortium comprising Japanet Holdings, Jones Lang LaSalle Group, and Takenaka Corporation won the priority negotiation right for the redevelopment of the former Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagasaki Shipyard Kōyagi plant site. On June 1, 2019, the company changed its name to Regional Creation Nagasaki and moved its headquarters to Nagasaki City, which it treats as its official founding date. On December 13, 2019, the company was selected as the designated administrator for Inasayama Park and the Nagasaki Ropeway, in a joint venture with the Nagasaki Ropeway and Aquarium Foundation, a Nagasaki City-affiliated organization. The designation period ran from April 1, 2020, for five years. In September 2020, the company moved its headquarters to Manzai-machi, Nagasaki City. On April 1, 2022, it absorbed Japanet Regional Staffing, a group company established in 2020 that handled business contracting and temporary staffing for events and stores. The centerpiece of the company's work is Nagasaki Stadium City, a large urban redevelopment project on the former Mitsubishi Heavy Industries shipyard site. The project includes a new stadium for V-Varen Nagasaki, an arena, offices, commercial facilities, and a hotel. Regional Creation Nagasaki handles everything from strategy and planning to on-site operations and staff training. Nagasaki Stadium City had its grand opening on October 14, 2024. The stadium, named PEACE STADIUM Connected by SoftBank, has received international recognition, including the Concourse Activation Award at The Stadium Business Design & Development Awards 2025, a first for Japan. The overall project won the 2025 Nikkei Excellent Products and Services Award Grand Prize and the 2025 Good Design Award, among other honors. The company's designated management of Inasayama Park and the Nagasaki Ropeway ended on March 31, 2025, when the initial period expired. The company withdrew, partly because plans to extend the ropeway to Nagasaki Stadium City did not progress as hoped. As of August 2024, the company had 669 employees, including part-time and contract staff. Its headquarters is in Kōyagi-machi, Nagasaki City, with another office in Fuchimachi, Nagasaki City. The representative director and president is Hideki Iwashita, with Akihito Takada as representative director and Takumi Matsuhashi and Kazunari Nakajima as executive officers.
