[Short-Term Rental Surge Intensifies Competition] Consultations Surge from Owners Struggling with "Low Occupancy" and "Operational Quality." LDK Project Supports "Operational Review/Switch" Amidst Changing Market Conditions

Background: "Intensified Competition" and "Operational Quality" Challenges Due to Rapid Increase in Short-Term Rentals

Currently, the domestic short-term rental market is booming, with an explosive increase in the number of competing facilities nationwide. While the market environment used to be one where "bookings would naturally come in just by listing a property," we have now entered an era where facilities without meticulous marketing strategies and thorough management systems will be overlooked due to the rapid maturation of the market.

In response to this rapid environmental change, "low occupancy due to increased facilities" and "maintaining operational quality such as guest services and cleaning" have become new challenges in the market. In fact, consultations from owners facing issues with their current management companies to our company are rapidly increasing.

The difference in "adaptability to change" and "detailed management systems," which were not apparent during prosperous market times, is now beginning to significantly impact owners' profitability. We acknowledge these market challenges and owners' anxieties, and are available for consultations on "operational switching and review" to restore the original potential of real estate.

Proof of Reliable Operations and Marketing Power: "Over 70% Annual Occupancy Rate" Achieved Even in Rural Resorts

In a rural resort area known for its extreme seasonality and difficulty in attracting guests during winter, the villa facility "IZA takashima Minato" in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture (western Lake Biwa area), operated by our company, has achieved a high average annual occupancy rate of 70.4% (257 total operating days per year).

Even during the off-season in winter, when tourist numbers plummet and general facilities can see occupancy rates drop below 30%, our operated facilities maintain high occupancy rates. Furthermore, this facility received the Grand Prix at "BEST OF Minpaku 2025" in recognition of its excellent operational quality. This "resilience that doesn't falter even in the off-season when others struggle" is proof of LDK Project's marketing capabilities.

LDK Project's "Three Strengths" for Achieving Results Through Operational Company Switching

Our strengths, which maximize owner profits by switching management companies, are as follows:

1. Thorough Occupancy Rate Management and Price Adjustment

We implement our unique dynamic pricing system. By thoroughly investigating competing facilities and market trends in real-time and making precise price adjustments according to the situation, we achieve a high level of both "high pricing" and "high occupancy rate." Even in a fiercely competitive market with increasing nearby competitors, we maximize the property's original revenue potential.

2. Unique Marketing Power Achieving an Industry-Surprising "70% Direct Booking Rate"

We have established unique customer acquisition channels that do not excessively rely on general booking sites (OTAs), but rather acquire customers directly through our own branded official website, SEO measures, and social media. By achieving a 70% direct booking rate, we significantly reduce high commission fees paid to booking sites. We realize a high-profit model that maximizes returns to owners under an independent operational structure that is not swayed by the trends of booking sites.

3. Uncompromising "High-Quality Cleaning by Our Own Staff" Generates High Repeat Rates

"Cleaning quality" is most directly linked to customer satisfaction and repeat rates. We do not outsource cleaning to external contractors; our dedicated in-house staff meticulously handle and manage quality in a multi-person system. This uncompromising quality and "thoughtful space creation" are overwhelming differentiators from other companies.
