We are deeply honored that our company, which has been rooted in Hokkaido and supported life's milestones such as weddings and funerals, has received interest from students for two consecutive years.
The work in ceremonial services involves supporting people through life's joys, gratitude, and farewells. Beyond the visible aspects, it also plays a role in addressing customers' anxieties and tensions, helping them to face important moments with peace of mind. Our company has sincerely engaged in each of these situations, cherishing connections with local customers and striving to provide services tailored to the times.
Furthermore, as a Hokkaido-based company, we offer a wide range of businesses closely tied to local life, including catering, nursing care, sales of Buddhist altars, Buddhist ritual items, and gravestones, and cemetery management, in addition to ceremony-related services like weddings, funerals, and memorial services. We believe that the sustained interest from students is one result of these community-focused initiatives and the expansion of our business reaching the next generation.
[From the Recruitment Manager]
Our company values creating opportunities for students to concretely imagine "if they are suited for this job" and "in what situations they can feel a sense of fulfillment," by experiencing actual job duties and workplace atmosphere, rather than just unilaterally conveying the company's appeal.
The work in ceremonial services requires the ability to empathize with people's feelings and to act by imagining the other person's perspective. Precisely because it is a job deeply involved in the important moments of local customers, we wish to meet individuals who find value in engaging with people.
Moving forward, our company will continue to strive to be a company needed by local customers, and aim to be an option for young generations considering working in Hokkaido, by endeavoring to create a comfortable working environment and foster human resources.
