Jichitai Ad Concludes Public-Private Partnership Agreement with Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture, to Resolve Vacant House Issues

Jichitai Ad Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Takayasu Tokitsu; hereinafter "Jichitai Ad"), which operates "Akisol," a comprehensive consultation service for vacant houses and lands, announces that its proposal was adopted in the Kisarazu City Partnership Project Proposal System for FY2025, publicly solicited by Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture (hereinafter "Kisarazu City"), and a partnership agreement has been concluded. A signing ceremony for the agreement was held in Kisarazu City on April 28, 2026.

■ Background and Purpose

In addition to its advertising business aimed at securing financial resources and reducing costs for local governments, Jichitai Ad operates "Akisol," a comprehensive consultation service for vacant houses and lands. The purpose of this business is to resolve various problems related to vacant houses nationwide and contribute to creating livable communities. Since its service launch in 2021, it has promoted public-private partnership agreements with local governments facing vacant house problems nationwide, and as of the end of December 2025, it has partnered with 113 local governments.

Kisarazu City is located in the central-western part of Chiba Prefecture, a blessed city with good access to the city center via the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line and rich natural environments such as the sea and satoyama (traditional rural landscapes). Kisarazu City has been actively promoting measures to meet the demand for migration and settlement, such as opening an online consultation service for migration and settlement using the LINE official account and establishing a reform subsidy system through the "Kisarazu City Vacant House Bank." However, a certain number of vacant houses remained neglected, and the city faced the challenge of finding new ways to utilize properties that were becoming difficult to circulate in the market.

In such circumstances, Akisol's nationwide track record of implementation by local governments and its know-how in consulting with vacant house owners were evaluated, leading to the adoption of its business proposal and the conclusion of a partnership agreement.

Akisol will continue to contribute to solving regional issues through further utilization of vacant houses.

Akisol will undertake the following initiatives for Kisarazu City's vacant house measures:

① Free comprehensive consultation service for vacant houses and lands

② Matching with contractors (demolition, pruning,遺品整理 (disposal of belongings of the deceased), etc.)

③ Zero-yen property matching (matching for gifting vacant houses/lands with low market liquidity)

④ Production of awareness-raising flyers

⑤ Construction of an intention survey questionnaire scheme

※Other necessary tasks in cooperation with local governments

Akisol will continue to contribute to solving regional issues through further utilization of vacant houses.
