About 'Komebito'

'Komebito' is more than just a magazine; it reflects the essence of Japanese culture and the importance of rice in everyday life. The magazine captures the beauty of life's various moments—from enjoying delightful meals and the serene ambiance of sunsets during check-ins to the transition into new homes and the calm days of retirement. Since its inception in 1952, starting with a single rice shop in Setagaya, Shimada Group has expanded its services to include a diverse range of sectors such as food and beverage, real estate, construction, hospitality, elder care, childcare, and travel—all while aspiring to create valuable moments for individuals.

The title of the magazine embodies this ethos, aiming to be a necessary presence in the lives of its readers and consistently provide enjoyable experiences. In fact, acclaimed author, musician, and film director Hitoshi Tsujii, who is also the naming mind behind 'Komebito', contributes an opening essay to each issue.

Previous editions, including 'Komebito' Volume 4, can be accessed at Shimada Group's hotels, care facilities, and outlets, as well as through an electronic book format, allowing readers to explore all past issues and gain insights into the company's philosophy.
