Ichiken Co., Ltd. (Head office: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tadami Horiguchi; hereinafter, Ichiken), a core company of Iida Group Holdings, has collaborated with SpaciaNet Japan Inc. (Head office: Osaka-shi, Osaka; Representative Director: Wataru Aoki; hereinafter, SpaciaNet) to simultaneously open seven resort-style private lodging facilities, "Livele Garden villa," which combine design and functionality, in the northern Okinawa area on Wednesday, April 22, 2026.
Opening of "Livele Garden villa," a resort-style private lodging facility, in northern Okinawa with 7 villas simultaneously on April 22, 2026
Background and Purpose of Opening "Livele Garden villa"
The northern Okinawa area boasts a wealth of popular tourist attractions, but the supply of accommodation facilities is not sufficient. In particular, there is a challenge in the lack of facilities that cater to the needs of families, groups, and long-term stays *1.
According to a survey by Okinawa Prefecture, resort hotels account for the majority (approximately 52%) of long-term stay accommodations, and lodging types that meet diverse stay needs, such as condominium-type or entire-house rental types, are limited. Furthermore, the Nago City Tourism Promotion Plan also lists "attracting long-term visitors" as a key initiative for the future, necessitating an expansion of facilities in this area.
In response to these challenges, this project aims to provide a new accommodation model that balances tourism and residence, based on the concept of "accommodation where you can stay as if you live there."
In this initiative, Ichiken utilizes its design capabilities, cost competitiveness, and supply capacity cultivated in the development of detached houses to develop housing optimized for private lodging use. Through efficient floor plan design and stable quality, it achieves both functionality as an accommodation facility and profitability.
On the other hand, SpaciaNet is responsible for the operation, customer acquisition, and revenue maximization of the accommodation facility, utilizing its unmanned operation system "AirXpress" and multilingual operations.
By combining the strengths of both companies, this project is promoting a model that creates synergy between "housing development x accommodation operation," simultaneously realizing the enhancement of undervalued real estate and the resolution of the regional accommodation infrastructure shortage.

Both companies will continue to leverage their respective strengths to establish new real estate utilization models that integrate "living" and "accommodation" and work towards solving regional issues.
