Update
We've redesigned the website
The ESPL official site has been redesigned end-to-end. With "Reasons to walk, by design." as the concept, the page-by-page explanations and vocabulary across the site have been unified.
What’s new
The ESPL official site ( https://espl.jp/ ) has been redesigned end-to-end.
- New tagline: “Reasons to walk, by design.”
- The descriptions and terminology for “Walker / Sponsor / sponsorship / Receiver” are now unified across every page — top, mechanism, JPYC, how-to-use, and the first-time-user entry.
- The three behavioral-economics mechanisms (loss aversion, commitment, altruism) are restructured to be easier to read.
- A new “Who it fits” section adds story-style profiles for five personas.
- “The app is free. Only small actual costs apply.” — the cost structure (sponsorship, gas) is now disclosed transparently.
- Articles and News surfaces are newly added.
What’s next
We’ll publish monitor recruitments, new-feature releases, and maintenance information from this page going forward.
