Tenant Network Growth in Japan
The franchise network focused on commercial real estate, known as 'Tenant Window,' has recently exceeded a significant milestone, registering 30 franchise members as of December 5, 2025. Operated by Tenpo Commerce, which is based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, this network specializes in leasing and tenant brokerage services, helping local businesses thrive across Japan.
Successful Integration with Tenamado Portal
A key factor contributing to the rapid increase in franchise members is the launch of the 'Tenamado' portal site, which went live in October 2025. The portal provides comprehensive digital marketing support, streamlining processes from online customer attraction to final agreements. By combining an extensive reach that the portal offers with the specialized know-how traditionally provided by Tenant Window, real estate companies are seeing clear benefits. Many businesses, facing intensified competition in residential brokerage, are eager to tap into this new resource, prompting a flood of new participants, thereby propelling the member count beyond 30.
Three Compelling Reasons to Join Tenant Window
1.
Clear Differentiation in Focus
Tenant Window's strength lies in its specific focus on store and tenant properties. As the demand for retail spaces like restaurants and beauty salons rises—outpacing even the number of convenience stores—there is a lack of real estate companies that can handle these needs efficiently. By joining Tenant Window, members can carve out a niche in this blue ocean market, distancing themselves from the crowded residential brokerage sector and establishing themselves as leaders in their local regions.
2.
Robust Support through Tenamado
Franchise members can prioritize the listing of their own properties on the Tenamado portal, which caters exclusively to business openings. This leads to effective matches with serious potential tenants, allowing members to shift their focus from customer acquisition to deal closures, significantly alleviating their marketing burdens.
3.
Comprehensive Training and Support System
Many areas, particularly in rural cities, suffer from shuttered shops due to a lack of knowledgeable real estate agents who understand the complexities of commercial leasing. Tenant Window aims to overcome these challenges by providing structured training on various aspects of commercial brokerage, such as evaluating potential food service establishments, computing equipment capacities, and securing necessary permits from local authorities. This systematic approach not only assists companies entering the market but also facilitates matching previously vacant stores with eager entrepreneurs.
Looking Ahead: Coverage of All 47 Prefectures by 2027
Tenant Window has ambitious plans for the near future, aiming to expand its reach across all 47 prefectures in Japan by 2027. The company is particularly focusing on establishing partnerships in key regional cities to ensure high-quality local support for users searching for properties on Tenamado. Additionally, the growing network among members will allow for improved sharing of information regarding vacant properties previously occupied by national chains, leveraging economies of scale to deliver enhanced value.
With a dual emphasis on both digital initiatives (Tenamado) and physical franchise members, Tenant Window aspires to become Japan's leading platform supporting retail business ventures.
