Hidakara Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hida City, Gifu Prefecture, Representative Director: Kanako Funasaka) held its new graduate hiring entrance ceremony on April 1, 2026. Two new employees, one from Hida City and one from Takayama City, joined the company.
Last year, one designer joined Hidakara as its first new graduate hire, but this is the first time we have hired for planning and sales positions. They will be engaged in support business based on online retail, aiming to foster human resources who can be active in the region.
Message from the Representative (Kanako Funasaka)
Amidst a flood of choices, I am extremely happy that you have chosen Hidakara, a local company, as your first workplace.
Currently, regions are undergoing significant changes due to factors like population decline. Furthermore, with the advent of AI, how we perceive and approach work itself is rapidly changing. We are now being asked how to incorporate these changes and convey the value of our region to the world.
Hidakara, in the midst of these changes, is precisely a field where you can grow. We want you to challenge yourselves to the fullest, and while the entire company supports your growth, we also want to grow together ourselves. We look forward to working with you.
