*The image is for illustrative purposes only. Sakai Coffee, an authentic cafe chain operated by J-ART Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture, Representative Director: Satoshi Sakai), will open its 38th store in Zao Town, Miyagi Prefecture on October 10, 2024. We will open “Sakai Coffee Zao Sansuien-mae store”. This store is a new initiative to address the local issue of vacant houses, and is a collaboration between Gaia Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shiroishi City, Miyagi Prefecture, Representative Director: Kunihiro Aizawa, hereinafter referred to as Gaia), a company that supports Zao Town, as the franchise owner. This was achieved by doing this. Gaia Tosakai Coffee contributes to the community to solve the vacant house problem Zao Town attracts many tourists with its magnificent nature and charm as a hot spring resort. However, in recent years, the problem of vacant houses has become more serious due to the decrease in the use of vacation homes, and Gaia has been actively searching for solutions to this problem. By utilizing a vacant store owned by Gaia as a new Sakai Coffee store, we aim to revitalize the local economy by making effective use of vacant buildings and creating new jobs. Also, behind this collaboration was Gaia’s strong feelings towards Zao Town. Although Zao Town has tourist spots such as Zao no Okama that are visited by many tourists each year, there are currently few cafes where tourists can casually drop by. By utilizing this vacant house as a new store, Gaia Tosakai Coffee hopes to provide a cafe space that will be loved by both local residents and tourists, and contribute to the revitalization of the entire region.
