Nihon Shintatsu Co., Ltd.
| General Information | |
| Business: | (Incorporated in Japan)We believe we are one of the leading real estate services and investment companies focused on tourism properties in Northern Japan. With our successful track record of property development and management, strong market position, and upcoming public listing, we are well-positioned to capitalize on Japan’s growing tourism sector. Our company has demonstrated consistent growth through strategic property acquisitions and development, while maintaining high operational standards and deep local market expertise.We are involved in the acquisition, enhancement and resale of real estate assets in tourism-driven markets across Hokkaido, a Japanese island. We find underutilized properties in tourist areas with high potential.Our business model centers on identifying underutilized or mispriced properties in high-potential tourist areas and transforming them into attractive assets for resale to end buyers, including foreign investors and high-net-worth individuals. By concentrating on Hokkaido’s most visited locales, we leverage the region’s rising appeal to both domestic and international travelers. This focused strategy differentiates us from general real estate developers and positions us as a specialist in Japan’s tourism-driven real estate sector.Our mission is to identify and unlock untapped tourism-driven real estate opportunities across Hokkaido’s underappreciated regions – particularly in cities such as Otaru and Furano – through a pioneering, strategic approach. We strive to transform these overlooked areas into catalysts for sustainable economic growth and cultural revitalization. We envision Hokkaido’s underappreciated communities flourishing as destinations of economic and cultural vitality. This future exemplifies the transformative power of thoughtful, tourism-focused development in rejuvenating local economies and enriching cultural life. Economic and industry trends have a significant impact on our business. In recent periods, we have benefited from a strong rebound in travel and real estate activity in Japan’s resort markets. As pandemic-related restrictions have eased, tourism in Japan has surged back toward record levels. Hokkaido in particular has experienced a sharp increase in visitors drawn to its world-class winter sports, natural scenery, and seasonal attractions.A generally low-interest-rate environment in Japan with the average lending rate of 1.6 percent per annum (as determined by the Bank of Japan’s official statistics) has also supported buyer interest and affordable financing for property acquisitions. These favorable external conditions – increasing tourist arrivals and accommodative financing – have provided a supportive backdrop for our company’s growth. At the same time, we recognize that our operations are currently concentrated in a niche segment (resort-area real estate in Hokkaido) and thus subject to seasonality andWe currently have several important projects in progress or in the planning stage that exemplify our strategy and will shape our near-term growth. These include a new ski resort in Furano and a condo project in Otaru, as well as other pipeline initiatives:Pipeline Land Acquisitions and Future Projects: Beyond the projects already in motion, we maintain an active pipeline of potential acquisitions and developments to drive growth over the next several years. We are continually scouting for strategic land in other parts of Hokkaido and across Japan’s tourist regions. As of April 30, 2025, we own 19 properties. Further, as of the date of this prospectus, we are in negotiations or conducting feasibility studies for several potential opportunities. These include parcels of land on the outskirts of Niseko that could support future chalet or villa developments, as well as an early-stage review of a site in another region of Japan that is seeing rising tourist interest (outside Hokkaido). While these pipeline projects are not yet public or finalized, they represent our forward-looking growth map. The intent is to ensure that as soon as we finish one wave of projects, the next wave is ready to launch. We expect to support these future projects with the capital raised in this offering and through continued use of strategic partnerships and financing. Our pipeline strategy is deliberately flexible – we cultivate many options so we can green-light the opportunities that best fit the market conditions and our financial capacity at the time. By doing so, we aim to sustain a continuous development rhythm, expanding our portfolio steadily and capturing new opportunities as Japan’s tourism market evolves.Note: Net income and revenue are in U.S. dollars for the 12 months that ended on April 30, 2025.(Note: Nihon Shintatsu Co., Ltd. increased the size of its small IPO to 3.75 million shares – up from 1.3 million shares originally – and kept the price range to $4.00 to $6.00 – to raise $18.75 million.) |
