Arealink Co.,Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Takayoshi Suzuki, hereinafter Arealink) opened "Hello Storage Hirabari" on April 5, 2026, under "Hello Storage," one of Japan's largest rental storage room services. We are pleased to announce that with this new store, the number of locations in Aichi Prefecture has exceeded 200.
Our company is expanding across all 47 prefectures nationwide in various formats, including outdoor storage rooms utilizing containers, indoor storage rooms designed exclusively for storage on a single floor or an entire building, and storage rooms exclusively for motorcycles. In Aichi Prefecture, we have been expanding primarily around residential and office areas.
◆ Background of Expansion in Aichi Prefecture and Usage Status
In Aichi Prefecture, a "car society" boasting one of the highest numbers of cars owned in the country, the demand for outdoor storage rooms where customers can pull their cars right up to the storage space and easily load and unload their belongings is extremely high, and "Hello Storage" is chosen by many customers.
On the other hand, in urban areas centered around Nagoya City, a lack of storage space is a challenge, similar to the housing situations in other regional cities. Against this backdrop, the need for indoor storage rooms with well-equipped air conditioning and security is also increasing year by year.
Furthermore, due to the regional characteristic of the Chukyo area being a center for manufacturing, the usage is diversifying not only for storing off-season household clothing and memorabilia but also in business scenes, such as storage locations for materials and tools by corporate clients, and for organizing office supplies and securing space.
◆ Future Outlook
Arealink is deploying diverse storage rooms nationwide based on customer needs while leveraging our strength in data analysis. Going forward, in addition to opening our own new stores, we will actively promote the expansion of our partner system, aiming to reach a total of 200,000 units by the end of 2029, which is approximately double the current number. We will continue to strive to provide a highly convenient storage infrastructure in the Chukyo area, including Aichi Prefecture.
