■ Background of Implementation
As a second pillar alongside its mail-order business, the Japanet Group has been promoting sports and regional revitalization businesses since 2019. We completely manage "Nagasaki Stadium City," a large-scale complex facility consisting of a soccer stadium, arena, offices, commercial facilities, and hotels, as well as the professional soccer club "V-Varen Nagasaki" and the professional basketball club "Nagasaki Velca" within the group. By moving forward with determination as a private company, improving the precision and speed of decision-making, and pouring in the thorough customer imagination cultivated through our mail-order business, we hope to become an entity that can energize first Nagasaki, and then the whole of Japan.
Through this business succession, we hope to provide the finest experiences to domestic and international VIPs and tourists visiting Nagasaki Stadium City for games and events. By seamlessly linking the vitality of "Nagasaki Stadium City" with the serene resort experience of Omura Bay, we aim to construct an unprecedented "Nagasaki stay-type tourism." By creating synergy through multiplying the charm of Passage Kinkai with the know-how cultivated by the Japanet Group, we will refine the value of the experience and deliver excitement to people in Nagasaki Prefecture and those visiting Nagasaki.
■ Message from Akito Takata, President and CEO, Japanet Holdings
The Japanet Group has focused on "'finding' truly good things, 'refining' them from our unique perspective, and firmly 'conveying' their essence" through our mail-order business. Since 2019, we have expanded this scope into the sports and regional revitalization business, challenging ourselves to "balance emotion and business," starting with Nagasaki Stadium City.
Harmonizing with the nature of Omura Bay and overflowing with "elegance and history," Passage Kinkai is one of Japan's premier golf courses that further elevates the value of visiting Nagasaki. While carefully protecting the excellence that has been built up so far, the entire group will unite to refine it even further. We will create a unique appeal that will continue to be loved by locals and become a destination for golfers visiting Nagasaki from all over the country.
