Background and Purpose of JANKEN Reform’s Renewal

　Responding to Growing Demand: JANKEN Reform’s Strategic Renewal

In recent years, with the recovery of inbound tourism, interest in vacation rental investments has surged in Hokkaido’s international tourist destinations, particularly Furano and Niseko (Kutchan). As land prices climb and demand diversifies, the quality and occupancy rate of vacation rental properties now significantly influence profitability.

In response to this evolving landscape, we’ve revamped the “JANKEN Reform” service page. Our aim is to precisely and promptly meet the diverse needs of both domestic and international real estate investors, as well as those considering a new venture into the vacation rental business.

Connecting Global Investors with Hokkaido’s Value: Revamped for Global Specifications

This renewal enhances investor decision-making by adding crucial information, including concrete examples of vacation rental reforms, cost estimates, and investment recovery plans—key criteria for choosing a reform company.

We’ve optimized our information structure to clearly convey our unique strengths and ensure easy access to desired information. Furthermore, we’ve bolstered multilingual support in Japanese, English, and Traditional Chinese. This allows us to deliver customized content and present profit plans tailored to a broad spectrum of investors across Japan, Asia, and Western countries.

The revamped site is designed to be a more practical and reliable resource for both domestic and international clients interested in Hokkaido vacation rental investments.

JANKEN Reform: Delivering Unique Value for Hokkaido Vacation Rental Remodeling

JANKEN Reform offers more than just interior construction or renovation services. We’re dedicated to bringing each owner’s “ideal” space to life while simultaneously achieving the two key success factors in vacation rental operation: maximizing investment returns and earning high guest reviews.

Through a comprehensive approach that includes planning, design, construction, and even revenue strategy, we create spaces that don’t just look beautiful, but generate results.

This makes us a reliable partner for investors aiming to establish their vacation rentals as highly profitable, long-term assets.

Core Features and Strengths of JANKEN Reform

JANKEN Reform’s Expertise: Crafting Profitable Spaces in Hokkaido

Backed by a proven track record of managing over 500 accommodation facilities in Hokkaido’s Furano and Kutchan areas, JANKEN Reform delivers space creation that optimizes both operational efficiency and profitability.

We don’t just pursue beautiful designs. Our proposals for “revenue-generating” reform and renovation plans are optimized for each area’s target demographic, with designs that carefully consider cleaning efficiency, durability, and guest flow. Our interior designers, deeply familiar with the unique characteristics of each area, handle everything from concept development to spatial design.

Seamless Real Estate Investment: A One-Stop Solution from Acquisition to Exit

JANKEN Reform offers a comprehensive, one-stop support system covering every stage of your vacation rental business—from property acquisition and renovation to operation and eventual sale.

Through close collaboration with local partners in the Furano and Kutchan areas, we provide optimal solutions for every challenge investors face. This includes everything from real estate acquisition, design, and construction to operations, guest acquisition, and sales strategies. Our approach minimizes owner effort while ensuring a seamless investment experience with no lost opportunities.

“Winning” Space Know-how Based on Proven Vacation Rental Operating Results

We provide comprehensive support for owners’ vacation rental businesses through the following integrated, one-stop system:

・Strategic Property Sourcing: We identify highly profitable used properties and handle land and building acquisition (including buying and revitalizing pre-owned properties), as well as sales brokerage for vacation rental ventures.

・Vacation Rental Business Planning: Through detailed investment planning and profit/loss simulations, we propose the optimal vacation rental business plan for each owner. We also assist with complex permit and license acquisitions.

・Architectural Design & Construction: Leveraging our extensive vacation rental operating experience, we propose specialized reform planning and interior design tailored for vacation rentals. We ensure high-quality construction management through direct liaison and collaboration with expert architects and contractors.

・Optimized Vacation Rental Operations: For efficient and seamless operations and effective guest acquisition, we collaborate with vacation rental management companies to provide comprehensive support, including operational (outsourcing), booking site management, and cleaning services.

・Real Estate Exit Strategy: We also propose exit strategies, such as reform designs that preserve asset value and sales support, with an eye on future property sales. We guide owners to success in their vacation rental real estate investments.

This one-stop system allows owners to entrust their entire asset strategy—from acquisition to profitable operation, value enhancement, and eventual sale—rather than simply “buying a property and being done with it.” JANKEN is more than just a construction company; we are your practical partner for successful vacation rental investments, providing sustainable and results-driven investment spaces.
