Display Lighting Co. Expands to Seoul

Display Lighting Co. (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, CEO: Takahiro Tokumo) has officially announced the opening of its first overseas office in Seoul, South Korea. This strategic move aims to strengthen their services directed at foreign tourists visiting Japan, particularly from South Korea.

According to the Japan National Tourism Organization, the number of foreign visitors to Japan is projected to reach 42.68 million by 2025, surpassing the 40 million mark for the first time. Among these, South Korea contributes the highest number of travelers, with approximately 9.46 million South Koreans visiting Japan each year. With this growing demand, Display Lighting Co. is responding proactively by enhancing their presence in the market.

Since 2015, the company has been operating the duty-free store search site `TAXFREESHOPS.JP`, which allows visitors to locate duty-free stores near their accommodations and access a variety of coupons applicable at these stores. Following the recovery of travel demand after the COVID-19 pandemic, this service has started to flourish, becoming a key driver of the company's growth post-2024.

However, despite the extensive reach of this service across Asia, Europe, and Oceania, there has been a notable gap in the utilization by travelers from South Korea, who represent the largest demographic among foreign visitors to Japan. Hence, the establishment of the Seoul office is aimed at enhancing marketing campaigns and sales activities specifically tailored to the South Korean market, ensuring the optimization of their services for local visitors.

Located strategically at 16th floor, Gangnam Building, 396, Seocho-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, the new office will be spearheaded by Senior Executive Officer Nobukata Kobatake. The office is set to officially commence operations in May 2026.

With the opening of this office, Display Lighting Co. not only aims to boost the usage of their services but also to develop long-term marketing strategies, gathering insights on effective ways to attract customers in South Korea. Future plans also encompass supporting local municipalities and businesses in Japan with marketing efforts targeting South Korea, while exploring the potential to expand their services within the Korean market as well.
