■ Achievement Overview
The Company has recently been awarded 'No. 1 in Sales of Perpetual Memorial Graves Nationwide for 5 Consecutive Years' on 'Ii Ohaka' operated by Kamakura Shinsho Co., Ltd. We interpret this as a result of the widespread support for the form of memorial services we provide in the expanding perpetual memorial grave market, driven by the aging population and succession issues.
Survey Period: January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2025
Survey Outline: A survey of the sales numbers of perpetual memorial graves by companies nationwide listed on 'Ii Ohaka'. Research by Kamakura Shinsho Co., Ltd.
'Ii Ohaka' is one of Japan's largest portal sites, listing over 10,000 cemeteries and graveyards nationwide. It is characterized by its support for finding a satisfying grave through abundant information and numerous reviews, allowing for comparison.
■ Reasons for Being Continuously Chosen
1. Partnerships with Temples Nationwide
Since our company has perpetual memorial graves at 101 temples nationwide (as of May 2026), customers can consider graves from a wide range of options, including transportation access and places with personal connections.
2. Wide Range of Choices with Multiple Designs and Plans
By establishing perpetual memorial graves with multiple designs within a single temple, we cater to the different needs of each user. In addition to tree burials and plots where one can rest with pets, we can also accommodate multiple individuals through grave relocation.
3. Consistent Support from Dedicated On-site Staff
We have set up information centers at each partner temple, where dedicated staff for perpetual memorial graves are permanently stationed. We have a system in place for consultations with peace of mind, as the same staff provides consistent support from viewings and contracts to the interment of ashes.
We have received feedback from our customers such as 'I'm relieved with the beautiful perpetual memorial grave' and 'The staff member was very polite.'
■ Growing Needs and Diversifying Forms of Memorials
In recent years, due to the declining birthrate, aging population, and changes in family structures, an increasing number of people find it difficult to inherit and manage graves as in the past. Regarding 'grave relocation,' which involves moving remains to another grave, the latest survey results for fiscal year 2024 show over 170,000 cases*, a record high.
Against this backdrop, the need for options like perpetual memorial graves, which are less burdensome in terms of management and cost while still cherishing the memory of the deceased, is increasing.
While the forms and management systems of graves, such as perpetual memorial graves, tree burials, and ossuaries, are changing with the times, our company continues to provide services that value the sentiment of memorialization. We will continue to improve our service quality, expand our network of partner temples, and develop more places of remembrance that many people can use with peace of mind.
