Multilingual vacant house matching site Vacant Houses de Resort Kaoru Kaoru" Opens Aiming to solve the problem of vacant houses in Japan

Oedo Holdings Co. (Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kazuhiro Nakafuji) launched "Vacant Houses de Resort Kaoru Kaoru" (https://akiya-resort. com/ ), a portal site that connects vacant Japanese homes and resort properties with overseas real estate investors. The site is designed to provide information on vacant houses and resort properties owned by real estate agencies and individuals throughout Japan in multiple languages so that prospective buyers from around the world can easily search and discover their ideal property.

■ Background of Development

According to a report by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, there are approximately 8.2 million vacant houses in Japan as of 2023, which is equivalent to about 14% of all housing units. In some areas, especially in rural areas, the percentage of vacant houses is even higher. These vacant houses are not only a waste of social and economic resources, but also cause problems such as deteriorating public safety and loss of landscape. The absence of a service that allows owners of vacant houses to communicate directly with prospective buyers has made it difficult to solve this problem. The "Vacant Houses de Resort Kaoru" was developed to fill this gap.

Papageno Work & Recovery (operated by Papageno Inc. https://papageno.co.jp/ ), which specializes in corporate marketing support and consulting, is cooperating in the operation of this project.

Expansion of vacant houses and resort properties into the global market

Vacant Houses de Resort Kaoru introduces attractive vacant houses and resort properties in Japan to investors and people interested in Japan from all over the world. By providing multilingual support and direct matching, the site contributes to solving the problem of vacant houses in Japan from an international perspective.

Through this initiative, Oedo Holdings Co., Ltd. aims to reduce the number of vacant houses, promote the use of resort properties, and create new investment opportunities in Japan and abroad. We hope that the global expansion of "Vacant Houses de Resort Kaoru Kaoru" will attract worldwide attention and serve as a new window for rediscovering the charms of Japan.
