Ichigo owns and operates real estate and clean energy facilities throughout Japan. As a sustainable infrastructure company, we aim to create new value in real estate and bring prosperity to Japan's future, together with cities and people. Since 2005, Ichigo has owned and operated the "Matsudo City Public Wholesale Market Nambu Market," a rare private-public partnership in Japan. This market supports the food supply for the Higashi-Katsushika area of Chiba Prefecture, where the population continues to grow. In close cooperation with Matsudo City, producers, and market stakeholders, we have implemented advanced operations such as opening the market to the general public and holding events.
Matsudo City is implementing various advanced policies based on the basic philosophy of "A bright future for every child, unique as they are!" and has been ranked highly in national surveys for "Cities where it is easy for dual-income families to raise children." Our company has been discussing various policy issues with Matsudo City and will continue to contribute to enhancing the appeal of Matsudo City.
