Nexwill Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tomoyuki Maruoka), which operates a business purchasing and reselling distressed properties such as vacant houses and co-owned properties, has signed a cooperation agreement with Shibushi City, Kagoshima Prefecture (Mayor: Haruyuki Shimohira) regarding the promotion of vacant house measures. Following the agreement, a signing ceremony will be held at Shibushi City Hall on April 10, 2026.
## Overview of the Collaboration
This agreement aims to promote the distribution of vacant houses in urban areas of Shibushi City and to achieve a comprehensive solution for vacant house measures through the collaboration and cooperation of Shibushi City and Nexwill.
While Shibushi City is one of Japan's leading 'food supply bases' with thriving livestock, fisheries, and agriculture, its vacant house rate of 23.3% significantly exceeds the national average of 13.6%, and its aging rate has reached 37.6%. The prevention of new vacant houses and their effective utilization are urgent issues, due to factors such as increasingly complex ownership rights and an increase in properties that cannot be rebuilt. Through this collaboration, we aim to promote the distribution of distressed properties and expand the migrating and settled population, thereby realizing a sustainable local community.
## Outline of the Signing Ceremony
Date & Time: April 10, 2026 (Friday) 13:30
Location: Shibushi City Hall, 4th Floor, Council Room (2-1-1 Shibushi, Shibushi-cho, Shibushi City, Kagoshima Prefecture)
Signatories: [Shibushi City] Mayor Haruyuki Shimohira
[Nexwill Co., Ltd.] Representative Director Tomoyuki Maruoka (Attendee: Director Satoshi Koga)
## About Nexwill Co., Ltd.
Our company purchases vacant houses and distressed properties, which are generally considered difficult to sell compared to ordinary real estate. We then organize their ownership rights and eliminate the 'reasons' that make them difficult to handle or sell, such as complex legal relationships, before reselling them.
While many people associate distressed properties with accident-related properties, there are actually other factors. Examples include co-owned properties where multiple owners exist due to inheritance, properties that cannot be rebuilt because they do not meet building code requirements, and properties where ownership has become unknown due to repeated inheritances without proper registration.
Our company operates the 'Wakagai' distressed property purchase business, which acquires such properties, organizes their ownership rights, and makes them ready for sale.
Furthermore, to solve the serious vacant house problem, we are actively engaged in public-private partnerships with local governments and sports teams. In addition to signing cooperation agreements with multiple local governments to support the resolution of vacant house issues, we also promote the resolution of vacant house problems and regional revitalization through a tripartite collaboration of 'local government x sports team x Nexwill'.
