Relief Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishinomiya City, Hyogo; CEO: Tomonori Akazawa), a company engaged in estate organization, disposal of household goods associated with real estate sales and moving, and reuse services, has announced the opening of its franchise location, "Relief Nishi-Kobe," on Monday, June 1, 2026.
## Relief's Philosophy
The company's mission is to solve social issues such as the aging society and the vacant home problem through its "okatazuke" (tidying up) services. Estate and pre-mortem organization are becoming serious challenges that families struggle to handle on their own. The physical burden, combined with the complexity of waste separation and disposal, places a significant strain on the elderly and their families.
With roots in a waste management business (waste collection, transport, and processing) with over 60 years of group history, Relief provides peace of mind to its customers by promising proper disposal in compliance with all laws and regulations. The company views "okatazuke" not as mere labor, but as a service that empathizes with customers' feelings and creates new value for both items and hearts. Usable items are reused in-house and passed on to new owners. Relief aims to realize a society where waste is reduced and gratitude circulates.

## Comment from Ryota Masuda, Manager of Relief Nishi-Kobe
"We will handle each of the items our customers have cherished with great care, assisting with organization in a safe and secure manner while being mindful of the family's feelings. We value the initiative to turn 'unwanted items into needed items' rather than simply 'tidying up.' By finding new value in usable items and passing them on to the next person, we hope to connect the fate of objects to the bonds between people. From estate organization to home tidying, no problem is too small. Please feel free to consult with us. We will sincerely support you in taking a new step forward."
