Team Flat Corporation Company Profile

Launched "Flat," a free information magazine on roadside stations and travel

And the desire since the establishment of the company...

WE LOVE KYUSHU ALL FOR KYUSHU

  1. Local production for local consumption must also be local production for local knowledge
  2. Community interaction must be a source of vitality for the community.
  3. Be more local than current.

Credo Be a medium loved by readers. Be a business trusted by the roadside station and the community.
Mission: The treasures of a region are its "chiho" (local treasures), and the appeal of "chiho" should be communicated.
Vision "Pleasure" is the power of the community!
