Launch of 'And Vacation Investment'

Cocozas Co., Ltd., headquartered in the Minato district of Tokyo, is excited to announce the launch of 'And Vacation Investment', a new buying platform designed specifically for resort properties that can be utilized in the hospitality sector. This innovative service will be available starting July 1, 2026, as an addition to their existing vacation rental business 'And Villa'.

'And Vacation Investment' caters to various types of resort properties—including villas, traditional Japanese houses (kominka), health facilities, and existing accommodations—that have the potential for lodging operations. Buyers will have the opportunity to use these properties for personal enjoyment while also generating income by renting them out during unused periods, effectively balancing personal use and asset enhancement.

For those considering hospitality management post-purchase, the platform collaborates with 'And Lodge Management', a service offered by And Villa, providing consultation to help initiate operations. This approach benefits both property buyers and sellers. Buyers can acquire properties aimed at hospitality, while sellers are introduced to new marketing opportunities that highlight the potential of their listings as appealing vacation locations.

Background of the Service

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in spending time in nature-rich resort areas and experiences offered by whole-house rentals. However, there are challenges associated with owning villas and resort properties; these issues include management, cleaning, maintenance, fixed costs during periods of non-use, and future resale considerations. Therefore, prospective buyers should be prepared for various operational aspects from the start.

Operating a resort property as a hospitality establishment requires specific expertise including property selection, licensing, online travel agency (OTA) engagement, reservation management, customer service, upkeep, and pricing strategies. Cocozas has amassed considerable know-how in this domain through its brands: 'COCO VILLA', 'And Lodge Management', and 'And Lodge Planning', thus ensuring a holistic approach to vacation rental management.

Features of 'And Vacation Investment'

1. Diverse Property Listings for Hospitality Use
The platform will feature properties that possess unique attractions such as ocean views, riversides, mountain views, hot spring areas, and proximity to tourist attractions. Moreover, properties will not only be evaluated based on price and location but also on their potential for hospitality utilization and operational viability.

2. Consultation Support for Post-Purchase Operations
Buyers aiming to run their purchased properties as hospitality establishments can benefit from consultations that facilitate operating commencement alongside 'And Lodge Management'. This includes assistance with OTA listings, reservation management, guest interaction, cleaning, maintenance, and price adjustments, ensuring a comprehensive route for first-time resort property stakeholders to achieve operational success.

3. Balance Between Personal Use and Asset Enhancement
Buyers will have the opportunity to enjoy their properties with family and friends, while also offering rentals during downtime, allowing for a living experience that incorporates leisure and asset utilization. The model encourages not just buying for personal use but suggests leveraging the property during non-usage periods.

4. Fresh Opportunities for Sellers
Owners of villas, health resorts, traditional houses, or underutilized lodging facilities can benefit from this service by having their properties marketed based on their operational potential. By emphasizing appealing attributes like scenic views, extraordinary experiences, and nearby attractions, the platform aims to connect sellers with new buyers interested in resort investments.

Property Listings Opening

Ahead of the service launch, 'And Vacation Investment' is currently accepting property listings. This includes resort properties suitable for hospitality use or those with the potential for conversion into accommodations. Owners are encouraged to consult whether they are currently operating properties or have them underutilized as leisure residences.

Examples of desirable properties:

• - Located in resort areas near oceans, rivers, lakes, mountains, or hot springs
• - Including villas, health lodges, training centers, traditional houses, pensions
• - Whole-house rentals, vacation homes, or guesthouse establishments
• - Properties currently operational and exploring resale or operational handover
• - Properties expected to have hospitality potential via renovation

Beyond merely selling real estate, the services include discussions on facilities’ operational possibilities and support for ownership structure adjustments and renovations.
