With the mission of “creating a society where people around the world can choose the optimal experience,” Kukan Inc. (headquartered in Sapporo, CEO: Kentarō Yamamoto, hereinafter referred to as “our company”), which operates in the inbound tourism sector in Hokkaido using the power of technology and design to “continue being something to someone,” has received the rights to operate the vacation rental investor service “JANKEN” from Worldwide Base Co., Ltd.

Our company, rooted in the inbound tourism sector in Hokkaido, primarily supports the management of vacation rental properties and develops vacation rental real estate in resort areas such as Niseko and Furano.

We are pleased to announce that we have acquired the operational rights to “JANKEN,” a comprehensive service that supports vacation rental investors, previously managed by Worldwide Base Co., Ltd.

About JANKEN

“JANKEN” is a vacation rental-related service specifically focused on Hokkaido, offering resort investment experiences such as “vacation rental investment” and “vacation rental inspections.” The service includes consulting for vacation rental investments, purchasing properties and land, and area inspection tours. Additionally, the website features the “JANKEN Magazine,” which provides investment information and tourism details about Hokkaido. Through JANKEN, investors can receive comprehensive support for vacation rental businesses in Hokkaido.

With the acquisition of the operational rights to JANKEN, Kukan Inc. is now able to offer enhanced services to all customers considering vacation rental investments in Hokkaido.

Moving forward, Kukan Inc. aims to support the maximization of Hokkaido’s potential by focusing on two key areas: “vacation rental real estate” and “tourism.” Through this dual approach, the company intends to provide comprehensive support, leveraging the unique appeal of Hokkaido as both a tourism destination and an investment opportunity.

Tourism Focus

Kukan Inc. aims to leverage JANKEN as a media platform to highlight the appeal of Hokkaido as a tourist destination, conveying to investors that Hokkaido is a prime location with strong demand for vacation rentals, thus contributing from a vacation rental investment perspective.

In terms of the tourism focus, specific initiatives include expanding on the current efforts of “JANKEN Magazine.” This involves publishing web content that introduces the charming shops, products, and services across various areas of Hokkaido—particularly in regions where the company has a longstanding presence, such as Niseko, Furano, and Sapporo.

Though still in a development phase, the company envisions a future where the website can enhance profitability and regional contributions by collecting listing fees from local businesses, issuing exclusive coupons, and creating pathways that attract tourists directly to these shops. This approach aims to deepen regional support while establishing a sustainable model.

We appreciate your continued interest in JANKEN and Kukan Inc.
