Company Description

Our mission is to identify and unlock untapped tourism-driven real estate opportunities across Hokkaido’s underappreciated regions – particularly in cities such as Otaru and Furano – through a pioneering, strategic approach. We strive to transform these overlooked areas into catalysts for sustainable economic growth and cultural revitalization. We envision Hokkaido’s underappreciated communities flourishing as destinations of economic and cultural vitality. This future exemplifies the transformative power of thoughtful, tourism-focused development in rejuvenating local economies and enriching cultural life. Nihon Shintatsu Co., Ltd., is a Hokkaido-based real estate company primarily engaged in the acquisition, enhancement, and resale of real estate assets in tourism-driven markets such as Niseko, Furano, and Otaru. Our business model centers on identifying underutilized or mispriced properties in high-potential tourist areas and transforming them into attractive assets for resale to end buyers, including foreign investors and high-net-worth individuals. By concentrating on Hokkaido’s most visited locales, we leverage the region’s rising appeal to both domestic and international travelers. This focused strategy differentiates us from general real estate developers and positions us as a specialist in Japan’s tourism-driven real estate sector. Our revenue is primarily generated through direct asset sales following successful property enhancement, with additional income from consulting services, rental income and renovation services. To date, our development inventory and realized revenues have been modest, reflecting our early-stage focus on building a pipeline of projects. This asset-light approach has allowed us to establish a presence in the market while maintaining flexibility in our investment strategy. As we move forward, we intend to expand our portfolio of tourist-focused properties while continuing to provide property enhancement and sales services and thereby growing our revenue base in a balanced manner. Economic and industry trends have a significant impact on our business. In recent periods, we have benefited from a strong rebound in travel and real estate activity in Japan’s resort markets. As pandemic-related restrictions have eased, tourism in Japan has surged back toward record levels. Hokkaido in particular has experienced a sharp increase in visitors drawn to its world-class winter sports, natural scenery, and seasonal attractions. A generally low-interest-rate environment in Japan with the average lending rate of 1.6% (as determined by the Bank of Japan’s official statistics) has also supported buyer interest and affordable financing for property acquisitions. These favorable external conditions – increasing tourist arrivals and accommodative financing – have provided a supportive backdrop for our company’s growth. At the same time, we recognize that our operations are currently concentrated in a niche segment (resort-area real estate in Hokkaido) and thus subject to seasonality and regional economic fluctuations. We address these challenges through careful project selection and a diversified portfolio that captures both winter and summer tourist demand. --- Our headquarters are located at 3 Chome 20-2 Sakura, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0156 Japan, our phone number is +81 134-31-0000.
