Mito HollyHock partners with akippa to launch pre‑booking parking at Mito Shinkin Bank Stadium

akippa株式会社, the operator of the parking‑space marketplace “akippa”, has entered a partnership with J‑League club Mito HollyHock to improve access around the newly adopted Mito Shinkin Bank Stadium. Beginning in August, the two organisations will introduce a pre‑booking system for official stadium parking ahead of the 2026/27 season, allowing fans to reserve spaces and pay cashlessly through the akippa platform.

The initiative also includes a free shuttle‑bus service from selected parking areas directly to the stadium and cooperation with local private parking operators to expand available spots. By coordinating reservations and offering shuttle links, the programme aims to ease chronic traffic congestion, reduce parking shortages, and minimise illegal parking in nearby residential and commercial zones, benefitting both supporters and local residents.
