Shizuoka Prefecture is a highly convenient area located between the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Chukyo metropolitan area, blessed with extensive transportation networks such as the Tokaido Shinkansen and Tomei Expressway. Particularly, the central area centered around Shizuoka City has administrative and commercial functions, in addition to a concentration of manufacturing and logistics-related company bases, forming a stable urban infrastructure.

Against the backdrop of these regional characteristics, there is a year-round demand for accepting transferees and new graduates within the prefecture, and corporate housing demand is continuously expected.

On the other hand, with the increase in corporate personnel transfers, the need for efficient corporate housing management and housing arrangements is growing year by year. Especially in local bases, issues such as dispersed property information and complicated contract procedures are a challenge, placing a heavy burden on corporate personnel in charge.

Furthermore, for corporate contracts, highly specialized responses are required, such as compliance with security and compliance, and accuracy and speed in contract procedures.

Against the backdrop of these challenges, the demand for "Corporate Housing Specialty Stores" that specialize in corporate contracts and can handle everything from property proposals to contract procedures and post-occupancy living support in one go is expanding.

Against this backdrop, the demand for "Corporate Housing Specialty Stores" that specialize in corporate contracts and can handle everything from occupancy to living support in one go is expanding.
