Hiroshima Prefecture is characterized by its close proximity to rich nature such as the sea and mountains, as well as fulfilling urban functions. The 12 cities and towns where our trial offices are located are also ideal locations for establishing satellite offices, as they can each be accessed in about an hour from major transportation hubs such as Shinkansen stations and airports.
What’s more, living in a satoyama village is full of opportunities to discover new ways of living and develop new businesses by connecting with local people and gaining encounters and experiences that were previously unavailable in the city. Please come visit us and experience the benefits of Hiroshima Prefecture’s hilly and
mountainous areas.
In this project, we will support companies considering business expansion in Hiroshima Prefecture through on-site inspection tours, matching events between companies and the region, etc., in order to support the expansion into hilly and mountainous areas of Hiroshima Prefecture and the opening of satellite offices. implementation. The on-site inspection itinerary will be scheduled according to your wishes, including matching with local companies and property inspections.
Furthermore, by operating an online community and providing trial multi-business services, we support regional development and the securing of human resources for companies expanding into the prefecture.

As our company has experienced expanding into various regions, we have had many opportunities to feel that the success of our activities is greatly influenced by whether or not the company’s challenges match those of the region.
In addition, there are often differences in culture, business customs, and history between two parties who live in different regions, and these often become obstacles, so it is necessary to have an
appropriate translator (matching coordinator) intervene between them. By doing so, we believe that the reconciliation of issues between the two parties will be smoother, and as a result, the probability of matching the issues recognized will increase.
Utilizing our own experience and the experience and know-how of business attraction projects (regional expansion support projects) in various places,
– People in Hiroshima Prefecture who have a desire to solve problems in their companies and in hilly and mountainous areas – People who have a desire to try a different job while living in Hiroshima Prefecture
– Digital companies and start-up companies who wish to achieve business growth by delivering their solutions to hilly and mountainous areas.
In response, we will take on the challenge of creating value through the opportunity of expanding into hilly and mountainous areas. We look forward to hearing from your company.
