Ichinoyu Inn Group Launches Full-Scale Operation of Linkus Support System

Ichinoyu Inn Group's Launch of Linkus

Ichinoyu, a prestigious ryokan group with a legacy dating back to 1630, has officially inaugurated the full-scale operation of the Linkus support system. Operated by BEENOS HR Link, a subsidiary of BEENOS Inc. listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Linkus is designed to streamline the management of support operations for foreign workers. The initiative aims to ensure high-quality assistance for foreign personnel while optimizing support costs.

Background of Introducing Linkus

Ichinoyu operates nine facilities primarily in the Hakone area, with ambitious plans to expand to 200 by 2045. Faced with an acute labor shortage in the hospitality industry, the company proactively began hiring foreign skilled workers. Initially reliant on external support organizations for guidance, Ichinoyu faced rising costs and management complexities, prompting a shift towards in-house support operations instead.

By employing Linkus alongside BEENOS HR Link’s comprehensive In-house Total Support consulting service, Ichinoyu established an effective operational framework. This approach allowed them to grasp necessary knowledge and processes for running their support system autonomously.
