Zehitomo's Rapid Growth: 130,000 Registered Professionals

Zehitomo, a Tokyo-based company established by Yuichiro Miura, has reached a significant milestone by registering 130,000 professionals on its platform as of July 2025. Launched in 2017, the service connects local businesses with clients seeking various services, ranging from renovation and house cleaning to yoga lessons and professional photography.

Recognizing the vast potential of Japan's local services market, estimated at around 30 trillion yen, Zehitomo aims to optimize the online visibility of local businesses. This service plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges faced by small enterprises and freelancers, particularly in terms of customer acquisition and market expansion.

Bridging the Gap for Small Businesses

The platform offers a much-needed solution for businesses struggling to access clients. For instance, in the renovation industry, professionals often possess the necessary skills but lack opportunities for exposure. This leads to frustrations such as the inability to find good service providers or uncertainty about how to attract customers. Zehitomo meets these needs by leveraging technology for matching services and continually enhancing user experience (UX).

In addition, starting from July 2025, the introduction of an automated response feature using AI is set to further improve matching efficiency and service quality. With these advancements, Zehitomo continues to support transformative changes in how local trades operate.

Focus on Increasing Renovation Services

One notable trend is the rapid growth of the renovation service category. Zehitomo has intensified its efforts in this area, leading to a doubling of the number of registered professionals in recent years. As of August 2025, they are on track to surpass previous registration levels, indicating robust demand. The emphasis on renovation services reflects the company's strategy to cater to the needs of urban residents looking to upgrade their homes.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, Zehitomo is dedicated to improving matching accuracy and user experiences. They plan to further strengthen the use of AI and enhance data infrastructures, striving to become an indispensable service provider for everyday needs. By prioritizing quality user experiences, they aim to create a more connected and efficient environment for both service providers and clients.
