Strategic Partnership Between Apartment Japan and GYMHOP
DID-GLOBAL Co., LTD., based in Osaka, is well-known for its innovative rental platform, Apartment Japan®, which caters specifically to foreign individuals looking for rental properties in Japan. Recently, they joined forces with HOPPERS Inc., headquartered in Kobe, to establish a strategic partnership that aims to blend the realms of housing and fitness for an enriched experience tailored to foreign residents and visitors.
Understanding the Partnership
The collaboration comes as Japan sees a significant increase in international tourists and foreign long-term residents. Many of these individuals seek not only comfortable living environments that eliminate language barriers but also accessible fitness services that they can use during short stays. GYMHOP offers a flexible solution, allowing people to access various gyms across Japan on a pay-per-use basis, eliminating the requirement for a monthly membership.
Together, with Apartment Japan's expertise in connecting foreign residents with rental housing, the two companies seek to address a critical need in this demographic. By leveraging each other's strengths, they aim to create a seamless experience for residents and tourists, providing them with easy access to both comfortable living spaces and convenient fitness options.
Key Initiatives of the Partnership
This partnership brings a host of unique initiatives tailored to improve the living standards of foreign residents:
1.
Discounted GYMHOP Tickets: Those who sign rental contracts through Apartment Japan will benefit from discounted tickets for GYMHOP, enabling them to easily access fitness facilities without incurring high costs.
2.
Integrated Information: Apartment Japan now features information about nearby GYMHOP-affiliated gyms directly in its property listings. This ensures that prospective residents can evaluate their fitness options while considering a rental property.
3.
Joint Marketing Efforts: Both companies will work together on promotional activities specifically targeting users with fitness needs. This means that newcomers to Japan will be aware of these services right from the start.
4.
Enhanced Multilingual Support: Recognizing that many foreign residents may struggle with the Japanese language, the partnership emphasizes a robust multilingual support system. This will allow users to efficiently search for housing and fitness services without the stress of language barriers.
Looking Ahead
As the partnership progresses, both DID-GLOBAL and HOPPERS are committed to continually enhancing their service offerings. Future plans include deeper system integrations and collaborative events, all designed to further enrich the living environment for foreign residents and visitors to Japan. They are also looking into expanding their network of gyms and rental properties to offer even more options.
