[Integration of Specialized Think Tank] Full-Scale Launch of Residential Disaster Prevention Consulting

Sakura Jimusho Co., Ltd., a comprehensive real estate consulting firm for individuals known as the 'Real Estate Experts,' which provides home inspections and consulting for condominium management associations, integrated its disaster prevention think tank, 'Daichi Disaster Risk Research Institute,' into Sakura Jimusho on June 1, 2026. To mark this occasion, the company is launching a 'Residential Disaster Prevention Free Consultation Campaign.' Furthermore, Yoshiharu Yokoyama, who served as the director of the institute, will continue to focus on the disaster prevention field as a ground and disaster prevention consultant belonging to the company. The Daichi Disaster Risk Research Institute was established in January 2021 with the goal of promoting the selection of safe land and housing construction. Over the past four years, while disaster risk information has become much easier for the general public to obtain due to the development of hazard maps and advances in AI technology, there is still a shortage of 'windows where one can consult based on individual housing.' In response to this situation, the company decided to integrate the business to build a system that delivers consistent disaster prevention consulting, from the upstream of land and property selection to indoor safety and evacuation planning, by linking with the existing businesses of the Sakura Jimusho Group, such as home inspections and real estate brokerage, rather than just staying in research activities as a think tank. To commemorate the integration, the company will conduct free individual online consultations by ground and disaster prevention consultant Yoshiharu Yokoyama. Yokoyama will individually answer all kinds of consultations regarding disaster prevention, such as 'I have seen the hazard map, but I don't know what my house is actually like.'
