■ About Storage Oh Co., Ltd.

Under the management philosophy of 'Co-creating the future of people's lives and society through the sustainable improvement of customer asset value,' our company conducts business in the planning, development, operation, and management of self-storage facilities. We currently operate 232 stores with approximately 13,000 or more self-storage units, primarily centered in Tokyo and Okayama.

The household penetration rate of self-storage in Japan is said to be less than 1%, remaining low compared to countries where self-storage is widespread, such as the United States at about 10%.

Although it is a service that people may not be highly familiar with, customers who have used it once offer favorable comments such as, 'The room has been cleared up and is comfortable,' and 'I was able to organize my belongings by swapping out household goods for each season.'

Customers newly utilize self-storage for various motivations: swapping out seasonal home appliances and clothing, storing precious hobby collections, keeping children's sentimental items that take up space at home but cannot be thrown away, serving as a buffer to adjust home space when the family grows, and providing storage locations for disaster prevention supplies.

By utilizing self-storage, customers' homes and offices become more comfortable places. As a self-storage operator facing an ever-increasing social need, we consider it our mission to provide clean and safe self-storage as a subscription service for constructing a more comfortable environment for our customers.
