New Renovation Showroom Opens in Kumamoto
On September 20, 2025, a new renovation showroom named "Renovation Kumamoto Shinyashiki Showroom" will open its doors in Kumamoto, Japan. This showroom is a joint venture between Relief Co., Ltd., a company specializing in housing maintenance and renovation based in Kumamoto, and Renovation Inc., an innovative platform based in Tokyo that promotes real estate utilization. With a focus on providing a real-life experience of renovated living spaces, this showroom aims to cater to the needs of modern families.
Background of the Showroom
The opening comes at a pivotal time for Kumamoto City, where new condominium constructions have been declining since their peak in 1991. As of April 2024, only 37,728 condominiums exist, with 9% being over 40 years old. This situation highlights the pressing need to invigorate the market for second-hand homes. Alongside these challenges, the city has seen its population begin to decline, prompting initiatives that support housing for families with children and enhance property renovation programs.
In light of these circumstances, "Renovation Kumamoto" has celebrated its 12th milestone, effectively raising awareness of the benefits of purchasing older homes followed by renovations. This trend has especially gained traction among younger families and single households considering their living options for the future.
The New Showroom Experience
Located in a valuable area within the city, the showroom features a 66.7m² renovated apartment tailored for a family of four with small children. The layout is innovative, emphasizing space efficiency, high storage capacity, and features designed to streamline household chores. This design creates an environment that reflects the real-life demands of modern families, showcasing various intelligent solutions that respond to future lifestyle changes.
One remarkable aspect of the showroom is its seamless interplay between different areas, ensuring smooth movement from the entrance through the pantry and into the kitchen and living room. Additionally, an L-shaped kitchen counter enhances post-meal cleanup efficiency, while a versatile lounging space is designed for children to play safely, allowing parents to supervise easily.
Design Innovations
The showroom not only demonstrates functional beauty but also prioritizes safety and accessibility through its barrier-free design. The inclusion of adaptable spaces, such as a work area secluded from the living room noise, allows residents to work undisturbed while keeping the unique character of the space intact.
The showroom serves a dual purpose; it operates as a living space example while also providing a platform for discussions on the future of housing and renovation. Regular events and seminars will also be hosted, inviting potential home buyers to explore creative renovation options and the advantages of embracing second-hand properties.
Event Information and Accessibility
Visitors looking to gain insights into the renovation process can participate in a consultation event coinciding with the grand opening. This event will cover essential knowledge about navigating the real estate market and understanding renovation opportunities.
The showroom is easily accessible from the Kumamoto City Tram's Kyuhonji Intersection stop and is situated within a family-friendly area. Local amenities such as supermarkets, parks, and schools further enhance its appeal for families looking for a nurturing environment.
