Quick Gardening Opens Training Center in Renovated Traditional House to Revitalize Vacant Properties in Izu City

Quick Gardening Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fuchu, Tokyo; CEO: Norio Watanabe), which offers garden care services in the Kanto, Tokai, and Kansai regions, announced that in April 2026, it opened the 'Shuzenji Safety Training Center Main Building' in Ohira, Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and began conducting new employee training and skill enhancement programs. This facility is the company's second training center for 'Ueki Cut Designers' (tree trimming professionals), following the 'Shuzenji Safety Training Center (Annex)' opened in 2022. It is located just a one-minute walk from the existing facility and utilizes a traditional house (kominka) that is over 100 years old. The site covers an area of approximately 660 square meters.

■ Creating New Jobs and Community Interaction

With the opening of the center, six local residents have been newly employed, including two locals and four migrants to the area. This has contributed to creating opportunities for diverse talent to play an active role in the region.

■ Displaying Artifacts at the Izu City Museum

Items from the Taisho era, which had been stored in the warehouse of the property, are now on display at the Izu City Museum.

* Izu City Museum Special Exhibition: 'Small Taisho Exhibition' (from March 13 to June 10)
