Treasurefoot Inc. (Headquarters: Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Kyushu Branch: Saga City, Saga Prefecture) has been commissioned by Saga Prefecture for the 'Cosme Prefecture SAGA Community Management Business' and will commence operations of the cosmetics business community 'Cosme Park SAGA (commonly known as CosPa)' for its second year in FY2026.

The theme for this fiscal year is 'Winning together in the cosmetics business.' In its first year, the event saw a total of 770 participants.

The kick-off event will be held in Saga City on Tuesday, May 26, 2026. The first part will introduce the overall concept and structure of CosPa for this fiscal year, while the second part will feature eBay Japan, which operates the comprehensive internet shopping mall 'Qoo10', delivering a lecture on cosmetics trends and e-commerce sales channel expansion (Free of charge, pre-registration required, online participation available).

◾️Cosmetics Business Community 'CosPa' Enters its Second Phase

Saga Prefecture is the only prefecture in Japan to have established a department dedicated to supporting the cosmetics industry, the 'Cosmetics Industry Promotion Office,' and is promoting the 'Cosmetics Concept' with the goal of becoming 'the most accessible city in Asia for cosmetics business.'

Initiated in June 2025 as the community supporting this concept, the cosmetics business community 'Cosme Park SAGA (CosPa)' will begin its second year of operations in FY2026.

3 Things You Can Do with CosPa

In FY2026, CosPa will operate based on the following three pillars:

1. Events | Learning and inspiration, every month In FY2026, events will be held on a monthly basis, structured around three main pillars: 'Courses for New Entrants,' 'Cosmetics Business Research Courses,' and 'Matching Events.' Whether you are looking to start a cosmetics business or are already engaged in one, you can participate according to your current phase. We welcome everyone aiming for the cosmetics business, regardless of their industry.

2. Encounters | Connections generate business In addition to daily information exchange on Slack, a matching system will be provided to facilitate collaboration and transactions among participants. It creates a space where businesses involved in cosmetics can meet with other industries and cosmetic brands.

3. Consultation | Feel free to ask experts Individual consultations with experts in various fields such as branding, SNS, and marketing will be provided throughout the year (online, free of charge). The secretariat will organize issues through preliminary interviews before matching participants with experts.

In addition, an 'Online Strategy Meeting' will be held to brainstorm future event plans together based on the voices of the participants.

◾️May 26 Kick-off | Held in Two Parts

The theme for CosPa in FY2026 is 'Winning together in the cosmetics business.' For those who own, create, and support cosmetic brands. CosPa aims to be 'a place where everyone involved in the cosmetics business can achieve their respective results over this year.'

This year, in addition to year-round events, individual consultations with experts, and business matching events, we plan to increase 'business opportunities born precisely from being here' more than ever before.

The initial kick-off event will be held in two parts.

In Part 1, we will introduce the structure of CosPa, including this year's theme and overall picture, year-round events, business matching events, and individual consultations with experts.

In Part 2, eBay Japan (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Gu Jahyun), which operates the comprehensive internet shopping mall 'Qoo10', will take the stage. Qoo10 is a comprehensive internet shopping mall with approximately 28 million users. About 80% of users are female, primarily in their 10s to 30s, and beauty/cosmetics is a core category. On the day, they will give a lecture on the latest trends and best-sellers in cosmetics, as well as cultivating e-commerce sales channels.
