Celebrating 5 Years of Holland Village Private Community with New Ventures

Holland Village Private Community: Entering Year Five

As of August 2025, the Holland Village Private Community will celebrate its fifth anniversary. Founded by entrepreneur Makiko Kawamura, who also leads MZ Social Corporation, this community has evolved from an online salon into a meaningful and interactive gathering space that spans various aspects of social engagement. In collaboration with SUNNY SIDE UP, the community is expanding its offerings to include nationwide cafes and luxurious spa facilities.

A Community Building Learning and Connections

Makiko Kawamura expressed her gratitude, stating, “This year marks our five-year anniversary, and the credit goes to our incredible members, who have turned our once-online space into a truly hybrid community.” Initially established during the pandemic, the community embraces the essence of collaboration, where diverse members learn and grow in unison under the ethos of “Agree to Disagree.”

In this fifth year, Holland Village continues to pursue innovative projects, including a financial education salon launched with former colleagues, a flagship organic cafe rollout, and a simultaneous launch of new beauty initiatives. Notably, they plan to integrate a sauna facility with a beauty salon, allowing for a unique online-offline experience.

Nationwide Cafe Launch: Holland Village Private Cafe

Beginning in April 2025, community members selected through a rigorous interview process will open the Holland Village Private Cafe in various cities across Japan. Emphasizing local flavors, these cafes will feature menus crafted from selected regional ingredients, allowing individual store owners to highlight their local cultural elements. Not only do these cafes aim to cater to community members, but they also hope to attract visitors from surrounding areas.

In the summer of 2025, four cafes located in Hiroshima, Kobe, Yoyogi Uehara, and Shinjuku are set to open. Each location will offer exclusive dishes that showcase their area’s specialties, such as the Hiroshima-style fried oyster platter.

Upcoming Luxury Spa and Lounge: Holland Village Private SPA & LOUNGE

In October 2025, the grand opening of the Holland Village Private SPA & LOUNGE is planned in Azabu-Juban. This luxurious compound will include a sauna, therapeutic stone baths, and beauty salons – all designed to provide a unique total wellness experience. Unlike typical wellness centers, the lounge opens in June with a comprehensive beauty floor launching in August 2025, featuring renowned haircare products like OLAPLEX, posture improvement massages by wellness expert TAKAHIRO, and other specialized treatments.

This facility aims to become a concrete representation of total wellness, responding to demands from members for additional offline interactions. With three floors dedicated to creating a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation, expectations are high for this all-encompassing space.

The Vision Behind Holland Village

The ethos of Holland Village Private Community revolves around providing reliable information and opportunities that benefit all, echoing their mantra of “Creating a place for everyone in the world.” By merging real-life interaction with online engagement, the community continues to adapt and grow in ways that meet the ever-changing needs of its members.

As it embarks on this fifth year, the Holland Village Private Community is set to unveil several innovative initiatives. With heartfelt appreciation towards its members, the community is committed to evolving into an even more impactful third place, fostering learning and connection across the board.
