Cool Connect Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture, Representative Director: Shota Kanbe), a regional co-creation startup dedicated to solving the vacant house problem, announces the launch of its new service, 'Akiya O-soji-tai' (Vacant House Cleaning Team), which specializes in organizing and cleaning vacant houses.
This service addresses various issues related to vacant properties, including the removal of unwanted items and bulky waste left in vacant homes, interior cleaning, weeding and grass cutting, pre-mortem and posthumous property organization, and the removal of air conditioners and ventilation fans.
By offering easy estimates based on photos and videos, carrying out work without the owner's presence, and providing comprehensive post-work reports across the entire Kanto region, the service aims to reduce the burden on distant owners and those struggling with vacant property management.

**Background of Service Launch**
As the increase in vacant houses becomes a nationwide social issue, owners of vacant properties are increasingly concerned about problems such as 'too many things to tidy up,' 'unable to visit frequently due to living far away,' and 'not knowing which company to ask for help.' According to preliminary statistics from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the number of vacant houses in Japan reached approximately 9 million as of 2023.
In this context, Cool Connect has been working to transform vacant houses from 'negative assets' into 'assets with a role in the community' through initiatives such as regenerating and utilizing vacant houses, operating residences for foreign talent, and converting them into primary industry bases. The newly launched 'Akiya O-soji-tai' is a service that supports solving vacant house problems by starting with the crucial tasks of tidying up and cleaning.
Organizing and cleaning vacant houses is often the first hurdle before taking further action, such as selling, utilizing, renting, or demolishing. Through this service, our company aims to alleviate the psychological and physical burden on vacant house owners, thereby helping to prevent vacant houses from being neglected and promoting their reuse.
**What is 'Akiya O-soji-tai'?**
'Akiya O-soji-tai' is a one-stop service that focuses on organizing and cleaning vacant houses, as well as handling related peripheral tasks.
Inquiries can be made via LINE, email, or phone, and a rough estimate can be obtained by simply sending photos and videos showing the condition of the room. Even if it is difficult for owners living far away to be present on-site, a system has been established to allow requests to be made while receiving reports before and after the work.
In addition to tidying up and cleaning, the service also covers weeding and grass cutting, pre-mortem and posthumous property organization, equipment removal, moving assistance, consultation on vacant house monetization, and consultation on purchasing vacant houses, thus building a system to meet the diverse needs of vacant house owners.
