Introduction

Kawasho House, located in Kagoshima City, has officially announced the launch of its rental housing information distribution service called 'ii Seikatsu Square' starting from December 2025. This initiative aims to improve the efficiency of rental housing information flow in response to the pressing issues arising from Japan's declining birthrate and aging population. The company aims to address the increasing number of vacant homes and encourage the effective use of existing housing stock.

Background

As Japan faces significant challenges due to demographic shifts, there has been a notable increase in vacant homes for rent or sale, rising approximately twofold between 1988 and 2018. It's now critical to cultivate a rental market that fulfills diverse housing needs, allowing potential tenants to accurately select properties based on their criteria. This market growth reflects the urgent need for infrastructure to facilitate this process.

Security Measures

In today's landscape, there is a marked rise in security risks amidst sophisticated information system developments. The use of cloud services has surged as companies and governments alike seek to leverage these tools for more efficient and secure operations. The government promotes the Cloud-by-Default principle, advocating cloud solutions for improved public service delivery,

"Many cloud services come with a baseline of strong information security features, which can be enhanced further. As the competitive environment demands rapid adoption of innovative technologies, utilizing cloud services is more efficient for boosting security levels compared to traditional on-premises setups,” according to the Digital Agency’s cloud policy.

As incidents of data breaches become more prevalent, companies must enhance their IT infrastructure to protect valuable information and ensure business continuity plans are in place.

What is 'ii Seikatsu Square'?

'ii Seikatsu Square' serves as a platform for real estate professionals aimed at streamlining rental operations.

Real estate management companies and leasing agents can list and search for property information at no charge. This innovative platform allows reservations for property viewings, tenant applications, and integrates seamlessly with core systems, significantly enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, communications that were once conducted via phone or fax—like vacancy confirmations and application status checks—can now be handled through chat, improving both speed and accuracy.

This end-to-end online connectivity simplified the rental process, from vacancy listings through to property management after tenants move in. It supports leasing activities while reducing the workload on real estate companies, making them more nimble in combating vacancy.
