Founded in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, we have been contributing to local development as a construction company for more than 50 years. We are looking for people who can drive our business as we start a new business of marketing old, restored Japanese houses to buyers overseas.

After joining, new hires will learn the series of processes involved in construction, from design to completion, through on-the-job training. Because Japanese is used in work, applicants need to be able to communicate in Japanese, and because they are expected to be in charge of sales activities overseas, English skill at business level or higher is preferred.

In the future, we would like to be entrusted with selecting traditional homes from all over Japan and developing strategies on how to restore and market these homes. In addition, we are planning to set up an exhibition hall in Aizuwakamatsu City, which has high inbound demand within the prefecture, to promote the appeal of traditional homes to foreign visitors and foreign nationals living in Japan.

If you are interested in old Japanese architecture and renovation, let's work together to promote this appeal overseas.

Business Content

We are a construction company specializing in wooden construction. We undertake the entire process, from design to construction, not only for houses, but also for large-scale wooden buildings, such as nursing homes and hospitals.

We have created our own standards, which are stricter than those set forth in Japan's Building Standard Law, and we construct safe buildings by performing structural calculations for all of our buildings. We also strive to avoid overlooking even the smallest mistakes by conducting third-party checks during construction and after handover.

Recently, we have focused on renovating old private homes. Visual inspections alone are conducted at 500 points, and restoration is performed using construction methods appropriate to those used at the time of construction. We are now working on a project to restore old private homes that remain throughout Japan in a form that meets local needs overseas. First, we plan to expand to Europe, where there is a culture that finds artistic value in things that have accumulated history. We plan to set up an exhibition hall in Japan to promote the appeal of traditional homes to foreign nationals.

In the future, we would also like to commercialize the business of restoring old Japanese buildings that are actually originally built overseas, especially in Asia.
