Kukan Inc. Divests Store Business to Accelerate Hokkaido Operations, Focusing on “Minpaku Real Estate” and “Digital Marketing”
“Selection and Concentration” Strategy to Drive Unique Value Creation from Furano Base
Kukan Inc., based in Sapporo and Furano, Hokkaido, and engaged in real estate and web support, announces the divestiture of its “24 Sweets Shop Sapporo Teine” store business.
This strategic decision optimizes our business portfolio and concentrates management resources on core operations. Moving forward, we will establish “Minpaku Real Estate” and “Digital Marketing” as our two primary business domains, leveraging our strengths to accelerate unique value creation in Hokkaido, especially within the Furano area.
Background of Business Divestiture and Future Business Strategy
Until now, our company has operated diverse businesses, including accommodation management, store operations, and web support. Through this experience, we discovered a unique strength and tangible success in “maximizing the value of real estate assets through the power of IT and digital marketing.”
Based on this experience and conviction, Kukan Inc. will now concentrate its management resources on the combined business areas of “Minpaku Real Estate” and “Digital Marketing,” where this strength can be best utilized. Through this strategy of “selection and concentration,” we aim to further enhance our expertise and provide more unique, high-quality value to our clients and local communities.
Head Office Relocation to Furano and Commitment to the Region
In line with this strategic decision, we have officially relocated our head office functions from the Sapporo office to the Furano office.
Furano has been a key business base for our company since its founding, including our past operation of a ryokan in Yamabe, Furano City. This head office relocation is not merely a change of location; it signifies our strong commitment to deeply contribute to the economic development of regional Hokkaido, particularly Furano, as a company rooted in the area.
Future Outlook: Unlocking Furano’s Potential with the Power of IT
We won’t let Furano be just a tourist destination.
While Furano is famous for its lavender fields and ski resorts, these are just one facet of the city’s charm. There’s so much untapped potential, including robust local industries like agriculture and its function as a commercial hub for the area.
To achieve sustainable regional revitalization, we believe it’s essential to not just rely on external factors like tourism, but also to draw out the “inner” vitality of local industries, businesses, and residents rooted in the community.
Our company combines two key strengths: “Minpaku real estate investment,” which engages with tourism, and “Web support and digital marketing,” which contributes to the development of local industries.
Moving forward, by effectively deploying both of these pillars in Furano, we will promote new models: “Region × IT × Tourism” “Region × IT × Local Industries”
Through these, we will broadcast Furano’s true potential to the local community and the world. Please look forward to Kukan Inc.’s new challenges!
