The Good Relations Channel is currently in the process of recruiting full-fledged gift donors and strengthening its re-circulation documentation beginning in May 2025. The following is a structure that spells out the values and philosophy behind the project.

「良縁チャンネル」

The Good Marriage Channel.

This is not just a cleanup" -- "This is not just a cleanup.

The "Ryouen Channel" from Shibuya, Tokyo, continues its efforts to transform the collection of unwanted items into "human connections.

The company transforms "mottainai" (what a waste) into "arigato (thank you)," a sentiment that translates into a social connection.

This is not just a simple cleanup or disposal of unneeded items, but an "aspiration" to help heal someone's loneliness, and it is gaining sympathy and response.

Transforming Emotions in Objects into Social Circulation

Your unwanted items can change someone's life.

Ryouen Channel is characterized by its "visible handing over," in which unwanted items are not simply thrown away, but are instead transferred and re-circulated, supported to families raising children, and offered to volunteers.

One of the most notable features of the channel is the "giveaway project" that is developed on social networking services.

The "gift-giving" project has been attracting a great deal of attention on social networking sites, and has been receiving touching comments and requests for interviews from all over Japan.

Human connections through "things

At the end of an object, there is a beginning for someone else.

All we have to do is to put our hands on the destiny of things.

At Ryouen Channel, we send collected unwanted items to those who need them, while respecting their backgrounds and stories. The core of their activities is the belief that "just one item can heal someone's loneliness.

An Economy that Turns "Mottainai" into "Arigato" (Thank you)

The aging of society, the increase in the number of single-person households, and the spread of a disposable culture.

Ryouen Channel is addressing these social issues by presenting the concept of a "circular economy of human relationships.

The concept is to make the choice to give things away, rather than throwing them away, more commonplace and accessible to as many people as possible.

This is not a clearance, but a "mediation" of support and hope.

A Challenge to Social Infrastructure from the Community

Based in Shibuya Ward, we also provide same-day and nighttime services to Minato, Meguro, Setagaya, Shinjuku, Nakano, Suginami, and Chiyoda wards.

In the future, the company plans to develop regional infrastructures and bases through collaboration with local governments, companies, NPOs, and other organizations.

Ryouen Channel will expand its "Shigoto (work)" to change "Mottainai (What a waste)" into "Arigato (Thank you)" from the field to society as a whole.
