["Furusato Yamaguchi Gacha" is an Initiative Combining the Strengths of our Group Companies!] Our company was registered for establishment in Yamaguchi Prefecture in 2015, 11 years ago. Currently, we are proceeding to relocate part of our headquarters functions, which were previously in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, to our Shunan headquarters. In our 11th year since establishment, we have grown to operate 33 amusement facilities called "Asobi Town" nationwide, welcoming over 4.5 million customers annually. With gratitude and a desire to give back to Yamaguchi, we aim to design stores incorporating projects that collaborate with numerous local companies and highlight local charm—our specialty.
