Takutore ARENA Nagoya

Background of Business Partnership

Since its founding in 2015, Takutore has aimed to make table tennis more accessible with the concept of "anyone, anytime, as much as you like," and has operated unmanned table tennis facilities nationwide.

Supported by many users, including athletes aiming to improve their skills, as well as those enjoying table tennis for health, lifelong sports, and new hobbies, it has grown into the largest unmanned table tennis facility brand in Japan, currently operating 30 stores nationwide.

Meanwhile, ROOMKEY, provided by PING-PONG COMPANY Inc., supports operational efficiency improvements in various industries such as sports facilities and rental spaces as a "space business OS" that integrates reservations, payments, membership management, and access control.

Amidst declining birthrates and labor shortages, facility operations require both convenience and sustainability.

This partnership aims to build a facility operation model that is more comfortable for users and more sustainable for operators by fusing Takutore's accumulated facility operation know-how with ROOMKEY's technology.

About the New Brand "Takutore ARENA"

Takutore ARENA is a new brand that aims to be a place where people connect and create new experiences and value, in addition to the individual practice environment that Takutore has traditionally provided.

At the first store, Takutore ARENA Nagoya, we will install up to 7-8 table tennis tables and focus on practice for doubles matches, as well as:

- Table tennis workshops

- Tournaments and leagues

- Training camps and intensive practice sessions

- Corporate events

- Inter-industry exchange meetings

- Local community activities

- Collaboration projects with other sports

We will develop a variety of programs.

Furthermore, we will play a role as a local culture dissemination hub where people gather, learn, interact, and new challenges and connections are born, not limited to the sport of table tennis.

Takutore ARENA Nagoya is positioned as a flagship model for future development.

Future Outlook

Takutore has been working to create table tennis practice environments that realize "anyone, anytime, as much as you like."

In the future, in addition to the conventional Takutore, we will also challenge ourselves to create places where people gather, learn, interact, and create new value through the new brand, Takutore ARENA.

Furthermore, through collaboration with ROOMKEY, we will pursue new possibilities for sports facilities while enhancing the convenience and sustainability of facility operations.

Through this partnership, both companies will promote the creation of places that unlock the potential of dormant spaces in local communities and foster times when people can be passionate and new connections can be made.

Comment from Koichi Ishihara, Representative Director of Ishihara Real Estate Co., Ltd.

Since its founding in 2015, Takutore has aimed to make table tennis more accessible with the concept of "anyone, anytime, as much as you like."

What I've felt over the past 10 years is that table tennis is not just a sport, but something that gives people the joy of growth, connections with friends, and time to be passionate about.

Takutore ARENA, which is launching now, aims to be a hub where people meet and new values and communities are born, not just providing traditional practice environments.

Through our partnership with ROOMKEY, we will challenge new possibilities through table tennis while realizing an environment that is more convenient for users and more sustainable for operators.

Comment from Yuki Maeda, Representative Director of PING-PONG COMPANY Inc.

ROOMKEY has been developed as a platform that supports the operation of various space businesses by integrating reservations, payments, membership management, and access control.

I believe this partnership is a challenge to create a new facility operation model by fusing the knowledge gained from operating sports facilities with technology.

We will work to make Takutore ARENA Nagoya an attractive model case for both users and operators.
