AgVenture Lab, a general incorporated association established by eight national organizations of the JA Group with the aim of co-creating with startups, has invested in Address Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Address").
Address provides a "housing subscription service" that enables multi-location living on a monthly membership basis, utilizing vacant houses and other idle assets nationwide. Members can freely move between approximately 300 locations across the country, realizing a new lifestyle that commutes between urban and rural areas. In cooperation with local governments and regional businesses, Address simultaneously promotes regional revitalization through the effective use of vacant houses and solves the problem of vacant houses. It supports the formation of a sustainable regional society and the realization of diverse lifestyles.
AgVenture Lab adopted Address in the 7th term (2025) of the "JA Accelerator Program," which aims to support startups, and has provided ongoing support for the company's business growth. This investment is positioned as an extension of these efforts.
Address's initiatives not only contribute to the creation of a floating population in the primary industry sector but also generate a sustainable flow of people, triggered by urban residents' stays in rural areas. It has been confirmed that this model can achieve both the resolution of regional issues and the improvement of visitor satisfaction through the expanded utilization of regional resources and strengthened contact with agricultural sites.
This initiative aligns with the direction of national policies for regional revitalization and the creation of a floating population, and is expected to contribute to alleviating the shortage of regional workers and revitalizing the regional economy.
