Green Energy & Company, Inc. (Tokyo Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Tokushima Head Office: Matsushige-cho, Itano-gun, Tokushima / President and CEO: Takafumi Suzue, hereinafter "the Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Green Energy Life, Inc. (Head Office: Tokushima City, Tokushima / President and CEO: Toshiyuki Takemura), has begun sales of its new trailer house product, "ASOBOX Villa."

ASOBOX Villa is a product that proposes a new accommodation business model, blending the flexibility of trailer houses with the high-value-added stay experience of villas.

Creating a New Standard for the Accommodation Business ~A New Option to Meet Rising Accommodation Needs and Transform Idle Land into "High-Value-Added Accommodation Facilities"~

In recent years, with the rise in tourism demand and inbound tourism, there has been a growing need for high-value-added stay experiences that allow guests to enjoy unique regional nature, culture, and scenery. According to the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), while high-value travelers account for only about 2% of all inbound visitors, they represent about 19% of spending (※1), making them an important target for expanding regional consumption.

On the other hand, attracting high-value travelers requires "high-quality accommodation facilities that convey the region's story," and a challenge is that such facilities are not sufficiently developed, especially in rural areas (※2). Furthermore, developing accommodation facilities faces challenges such as rising construction costs and extended construction periods, leading to many scenic but unused plots of land and idle land in rural areas that are difficult to commercialize.

The Company developed "ASOBOX Villa" as a new option to address these challenges. By combining the flexibility of trailer houses with the high-value-added stay experience of villas, we aim to make it easier to realize accommodation businesses in locations that were previously difficult to develop, and to create new accommodation value by leveraging regional resources.

5 Features of ASOBOX Villa

SPEED: From "Approximately 2 Years" for Conventional Construction to "As Short as 4 Months." Astonishingly Fast Opening Overturning the norm of "approximately 1.5 to 2 years" required for conventional luxury accommodation construction, we achieve opening "as short as 4 months from concept※" through factory production. This minimizes construction cost surges and the risk of lost sales opportunities, dramatically accelerating investment recovery.

※ If permits are required depending on site conditions, application periods will be separate.

LOCATION: OK in Designated Non-Urban Areas. The Entire Earth Becomes Your Front Yard

Leveraging the characteristics of a vehicle, it does not fall under the category of "building" under the Building Standards Act, allowing installation in designated non-urban areas and in naturally rich areas where development has been strictly restricted until now. Unused scenic spots and dormant idle land that were previously given up on can be reborn as unique private resorts.

PROFIT: Short Amortization Period of 4 Years. A Beautiful Business Model Balancing High Profitability and Smart Investment Trailer houses have characteristics different from conventional buildings, making them easier to consider as business investments in terms of statutory useful life and exit strategies. In addition to profitability as accommodation facilities, consideration is given to ease of investment recovery and financial planning.

※ Tax treatment may vary depending on installation conditions, operational methods, etc.

STRATEGY: A "Moving Asset" Unbound by Land, Changing Form to Adapt to the Times Options such as relocation, change of use, and sale remain available, adapting to changes in land and era. This offers truly free and flexible risk hedging, distinct from traditional hotel management which is tied to land and cannot easily change form.

BCP (Business Continuity Plan): Compliant with "Cabinet Office Disaster Response Vehicle Registration System." Resilience for the Future What is normally a luxurious space that captivates guests can transform into a disaster prevention base supporting the region in times of emergency. This beautifully balances overwhelming profitability with corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Equipped with a solar power generation system and compatible with battery storage, it contributes to securing power during blackouts and strengthening resilience in emergencies. Furthermore, it is compatible with registration under the "Cabinet Office Disaster Response Vehicle Registration System," and we propose it as a new BCP measure that balances normal accommodation business with regional support during disasters.
