Addressing the Vacant House Dilemma in Nakagawa City

In a groundbreaking initiative, NexWill, a Tokyo-based company renowned for its expertise in purchasing undesirable real estate—including vacant properties and shared ownership—has entered into a partnership with Nakagawa City in Fukuoka Prefecture. This collaboration, intended to tackle the pressing issue of vacant housing, highlights NexWill's commitment to creating sustainable living environments.

On April 7, 2026, a formal agreement signing ceremony will take place at Nakagawa City Hall, signifying the 13th collaboration of its kind nationwide and the first of its sort in the Kyushu region. The partnership aims to manage and utilize vacant houses more effectively, ensuring safety and quality of life for residents.

Nakagawa City, known as a suburban area of Fukuoka City, is currently grappling with an aging population, reported at 24.6%, and a declining populace, which underscores the urgency of addressing the challenges presented by vacant homes. Through this partnership, both NexWill and Nakagawa City aspire to find solutions that not only mitigate vacant house issues but also catalyze population growth in the area, thus contributing to the sustainable development of the city.

Partnership Overview

The core objective of this agreement is to promote prudent management of vacant houses within Nakagawa City while fostering an environment where the community can thrive securely. As the city faces the dual challenges of an increasing number of vacant properties and a shrinking population, their joint efforts are intended to introduce comprehensive strategies aimed at revitalizing these underutilized homes.
