SYLA Holdings Raises Retirement Age from 65 to 70

SYLA Holdings Co., Ltd. announces that it will raise the retirement age for all SYLA Group employees from 65 to 70, effective June 1, 2026. With medical advancements, the average life expectancy of Japanese people is increasing year by year, and the term '100-year life' is becoming a reality. On the other hand, as the practices of seniority-based promotion and lifetime employment are crumbling, there are many cases where talented individuals who maintain motivation and expertise beyond the age of 65 cannot fully demonstrate their abilities due to employment instability. SYLA Holdings has recognized this as a challenge. Believing that it is a corporate responsibility to provide a place where talented individuals with abundant experience, knowledge, and a high willingness to contribute to the organization can continue to play an active role, the company decided to extend the retirement age. This implementation is positioned as an integrated initiative with the scholarship repayment support system announced on April 8, 2026. The company is embodying its stance of supporting employees from before they join the company until they retire. This measure raises the retirement age itself and is different from the extension of a re-employment system where contracts are renewed after retirement.
