Opening of the Showroom in Hiroshima

Renovation recently announced the opening of the "Renovation Hiroshima Kyobashigawa Showroom" in Hiroshima City. Set to open on January 24, 2026, and with reservations available starting December 15, the showroom will cater to urban lifestyles designed for singles and couples. This will be the second showroom operated by Kanatsu Giken Kogyo, following the relocation of the Yokokawa Showroom earlier this year.

The new showroom showcases a renovated second-hand apartment of 49 years old and a comfortable 61.14 m² space. It aims to provide a high-quality urban lifestyle residence, and it's located strategically for future sales or rentals. The design emphasizes a peaceful feel amid the hustle of city life, with a simple yet elegant hotel-like atmosphere.

Background for the Opening

According to the "Basic Housing Life Plan (Hiroshima Prefecture Plan)," the distribution rate of existing homes in Hiroshima Prefecture improved from 11.9% in 2013 to 16.5% in 2018, aiming for 25% by 2025. Hiroshima strives for sustainable urban development and is promoting attractive urban lifestyles through the public-private partnership project "DIG:R HIROSHIMA." Renovation has taken part in this initiative, recognizing the potential for the expansion of existing housing distribution.

Since launching in 2014, "Renovation Hiroshima" has been well-received by families preferring workplaces close to their homes and singles or couple households seeking suitable housing in the city center. Following the successful move of the Yokokawa showroom focusing on family-friendly layouts, this new showroom will add further options for singles and couples. While the Yokokawa showroom is about 70 m², the Kyobashigawa showroom at approximately 60 m² proposes a compact lifestyle choice in an area with enduring asset value.

The showroom enhances the variety of remodeling and encourages a sustainable house market in Hiroshima by offering attractive refurbished apartments.

Showroom Features

The showroom presents a well-considered layout format focusing on ease of chores and storage, offering a tranquil design in interior aesthetics. Situated within walking distance of JR Hiroshima Station, it features improved public transportation with the new Matsu-kawa-cho station opening in August 2025. By selecting a location with stable asset value, future options for selling or renting are prioritized.

Potentially convertible 1LDK layouts into 2LDK are designed with flexibility, catering to multiple lifestyles. The spacious living-dining-kitchen area measures 15.6 tatami mats, which allows for a roomy environment by positioning the kitchen against the wall. A counter on the opposite side tastefully hides the kitchen area while providing ample storage options for appliances, food preparation, and workspace.

The 9.1-tatami bedroom can easily be divided into two rooms, adaptable as a workspace. This layout enables a smooth transition between work and home life or modifying living spaces based on family changes.

Upon entering the showroom, guests experience an open and bright ambience thanks to the indoor windows installed to uplift the previously dark and cramped foyer. A washstand facilitates handwashing immediately upon arrival. Additionally, a walk-through closet (WTC) leads to alternative paths into the living area, enhancing workflow.

Thoughtful design extends to a laundry area with a well-planned washing workflow, making laundry tasks efficient. It integrates shower space with a wardrobe for smooth circulation between washing, drying, and storage needs, thus significantly saving time on household duties.

The use of floor tiles in the LDK and bedroom has gained popularity among customers. Not only do they appear sophisticated, but they are also easy to maintain and cost-effective. An industrial atmosphere is cultivated by keeping the exposed concrete ceiling while accenting with vertical blinds and wood accents, merging a contemporary and welcoming hotel-like aesthetic.
