Jimoty Inc. will open "Jimoty Spot Kashiwa Toyoshiki Store" on May 29, 2026, based on a reuse agreement concluded with Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture, in February 2024. This base marks the first step in a joint project to optimally link Sakai Moving Service's moving network with Jimoty's distribution platform. They are embarking on building a circular business that goes beyond traditional frameworks, seamlessly connecting household goods generated during relocation to the next owner, aiming for a dramatic improvement in the volume of distribution and profitability per store.
■ "Jimoty Spot Kashiwa Toyoshiki Store" Operated by "Sakai Moving Service"
This store (Jimoty Spot Kashiwa Toyoshiki Store) will open alongside "Reuse no Sakai Kashiwa Store," operated by Sakai Moving Service.
【Benefits for Users by Co-location】
① Enhanced selection of high-resale-value items by utilizing Sakai Moving Service's network
By co-locating "Jimoty Spot" and "Reuse no Sakai," high-resale-value household goods generated from moving sites will be collected at the store. This will enable a rich inventory of large furniture (e.g., cupboards, chests of drawers) and recycled home appliances, which were previously difficult to secure in standalone stores.
② Online product search available
Products sold at both stores can be searched and viewed on the local information site "Jimoty," allowing customers to check product information before visiting the store (excluding some items).
Moving forward, they will accelerate the development of a joint project that directly connects life events like moving with local reuse, completing the process from the generation of unwanted items to their collection and sale in a one-stop manner. They aim to expand this social infrastructure, where "giving away" is more common than "discarding," nationwide with high business viability and sustainability.

While the reuse market has expanded, in the context of "moving," where a large volume of unwanted items are generated, many still-usable items were discarded due to barriers of effort and cost. By integrating Sakai Moving Service's network and Jimoty's platform, these barriers can be removed, and more unwanted items can be seamlessly connected. We will accelerate the development of joint projects across industry boundaries to build a social infrastructure where "giving away" is more common than "discarding."
