METS Office, operated by Olympia Kogyo Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Nihonbashi Kabutocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Souya Hayama), supports PR TIMES's project "April Dream," which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is our "dream."
■ Background: Reasons Why Honest "Sincere Infrastructure" is Needed to Realize Dreams
Currently, while new ways of working such as side jobs and entrepreneurship are expanding, the virtual office industry often features services that are only "cheap on paper" and lack substance, or cases where the reality of the address is unclear.
As a company with over 50 years of history in the real estate business, METS Office has been committed to "direct management of our own buildings" since 2012. We believe that land and buildings are not just "boxes," but "stages" where productivity can be multiplied by bringing people together.
Precisely because we are in a time of global recession and rising prices, our mission is to continue providing "infrastructure for challenges" at the lowest price in Japan (from ¥270/month), so that anyone can take a step forward without fearing risk.
■ Our Dream:
"To realize a society where entrepreneurs and side-hustlers across Japan can safely continue to pursue their dreams."
■ The Future Beyond the Dream: Enriching Society with a Network of 10,000 People
What we aim for is not merely office provision.
"Lowering the 'hurdle of challenges' to the extreme."
Leveraging our unique strength of directly managing our own buildings, we will continue to be an entity that supports the "first step" of our users, rather than prioritizing profit.
Improving the Quality of Entrepreneurs and Mutual Support
While thoroughly vetting applicants, we will build a platform where ambitious entrepreneurs gather. We aim for a "circular community" where members support each other and new businesses are born, by forming a member network.
Transforming the Industry Towards Transparency
By maintaining honest pricing and sincere operations, we will enhance the credibility of the entire industry and create a culture where virtual offices are recognized by society as a "standard option."
"Just as water flows from high places to low places, we want to raise the overall 'volume' of prosperity in the world." — Under this philosophy, we will create a better future together with all those who dare to challenge.
