Hatas Co., Ltd. (Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture; CEO Tatsuo Tsukamoto), a provider of planning, construction, sales, brokerage, and management services for rental housing, is pleased to announce that Mr. Furukawa, a Senior Inheritance Consultant, joined the company in April 2026.
After graduating from Kyoto University, Mr. Furukawa worked at a major trust bank for over 20 years. Having moved across Japan, he is a professional who has consistently addressed complex property issues, such as inheritance measures, asset succession, and family trusts, for over 500 wealthy individuals.
At Hatas Co., Ltd., he will lead the 'Family Asset Project' and expand the world of 'Architecture x Inheritance' promoted by the Jouer brand.
'At Hatas, I can stay closer to real estate owners than when I was at the trust bank, and propose inheritance measures that maximize the use of asset management, real estate, and finance.' - Mr. Furukawa, Senior Inheritance Consultant.
■ Why from a Trust Bank to Hatas Co., Ltd.?
The decision to leave the stable environment of a major trust bank and join a local real estate company in Kariya was driven by a 'conflict' felt throughout his 20-year career.
At the trust bank, he responded to many consultations regarding inheritance and asset succession for wealthy individuals. Among them, real estate owners often faced challenges due to the nature of their assets. However, from the standpoint of a trust bank, the measures he could propose were limited to financial products. Even in situations where he wanted to recommend rebuilding or a proposal combining construction based on family structure and asset amount, he often felt frustrated at being unable to take that step.
Meeting Hatas Co., Ltd. resolved this conflict. By partnering with a company that handles construction, sales, and management in an integrated manner and has deep relations with real estate owners, he felt that consulting truly tailored to owners—crossing 'inheritance and architecture' and 'asset management and real estate'—became possible for the first time.
After 20 years of moving across the country, the place he chose was his hometown, Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture. The desire to use his long-cultivated knowledge and experience for the benefit of local people is at the root of this career change.

■ Voice of Mr. Furukawa
Motto: 'The boughs that bear most hang lowest' (The more successful or knowledgeable a person is, the more humble they should be).
'As I moved across the country as a trust banker, my desire to utilize this knowledge and experience for local people grew stronger year by year. Owners in the West Mikawa and Kariya areas have a particularly strong desire to pass down the land they inherited from their ancestors to the next generation. I am confident that I can support that desire more than ever before from both the real estate and financial aspects.'
