UMITO Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Teppei Hori), which develops shared villas "UMITO" in prime locations directly facing the sea, announces its partnership with OpenSky Inc. (Headquarters: Ota-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Tomohiro Kamibayashi; hereinafter referred to as "OpenSky"), a company that offers a fractional ownership service for private jets.

Through this partnership, we aim to further enhance the added value of travel by establishing a system that allows for seamless, one-stop arrangement of accommodation, stays, and transportation. Furthermore, by combining fractional ownership of private jets with ownership of UMITO properties, we will extend the value proposition of "travel as an asset," which UMITO has advocated, into the realm of movement, making "movement an asset" as well.

As the first initiative of this partnership, we will implement the "UMITO Okinawa Onna Village Special Plan by Private Jet" in Onna Village, Okinawa, in September 2026.

Begin the Travel Experience from the Moment of Departure

UMITO has developed small luxury hotels in various locations across the country to provide special and enriching stays, emphasizing the "front row to the sea" experience.

In the conventional resort stay structure where the experience begins upon arrival at the destination, "travel" has been perceived as non-experiential time. By partnering with OpenSky's services, we enable guests to enter a non-ordinary experience from the moment they depart the airport through the shared use of private jets.

This not only enhances the quality of the stay but also redefines the travel itself as a special time.

On the other hand, a lifestyle of freely using private jets has been exclusive to a limited few. The hurdle of owning a private jet personally is extremely high, as it requires not only a purchase cost of several hundred million yen but also ongoing costs for maintenance and operation.

OpenSky's fractional ownership system solves this problem.

By jointly owning aircraft among multiple owners, individuals can gain access to private jet usage rights while significantly reducing costs. Furthermore, unlike charter services or membership services that are "just for use," it is possible to own and sell a portion of the aircraft as an asset, as it involves "ownership."

Aircraft to be Used for This Initiative

Model: PC-24 Passenger Capacity: 8 Manufacturer: Pilatus

First Initiative: "UMITO Okinawa Onna Village Special Plan by Private Jet"

Implementation Date: Departure on September 12, 2026 (Saturday) (3 days, 2 nights)

Application Period: July 6, 2026 (Monday) - July 20, 2026 (Monday)

Number of Groups Accepted: 3 groups (6 people total) via lottery (2 people per group)

Participation Fee: 1,000,000 yen (tax included, per group of 2)

As a special plan to commemorate this partnership, we will offer a paid experience limited to 3 groups (6 people) selected by lottery. Anyone can apply for this plan.

The goal is not a journey that begins upon arrival at the destination, but a special trip where everything is beautifully connected from the moment of takeoff.

Private time begins the moment you take off. Then, while still savoring the afterglow of the flight, you will stay in a residence that exclusively overlooks Okinawa's blue sea and land. By making the journey from the sky to your accommodation a single seamless experience, the travel time itself transforms into an unprecedentedly rich travel memory.

Sky, sea, and the finest location. A special journey for only 3 groups, where everything is privately protected, will begin.

THE JOURNEY | An Experience Beautifully Connected from Sky to Sea.

Escape the crowds and fly to Okinawa on a special flight.

At Haneda Airport, guided by OpenSky staff, you will board an aircraft operated by the company for a flight to Naha (approx. 2 hours and 40 minutes flight time).

Rich travel time promised by exquisite seating.

This is a special flight space for just 3 groups of guests. Relax in spacious and sophisticated seats and enjoy the sea of clouds spreading outside the window.

Protected by high-quality hospitality that no one will disturb, the travel time itself becomes a luxurious memory.

STEP 03: Arrival and Stay

Immerse yourself in the afterglow of the flight and head to UMITO's prime seat.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a private transfer vehicle from the airport.

While still savoring the beautiful flight, you will be taken to "UMITO Okinawa Onna Village," a small luxury hotel with 9 suites nestled by the quiet sea.

STEP 04: Supreme Moment

Indulge in the supreme moment, embracing the blue sea and special space.

At UMITO, please enjoy the leisurely flow of time while feeling the pleasant southern winds of Okinawa.

In the evening, cuisine that fully utilizes the local ingredients will conclude your special day. From the aerial journey to a superb stay enveloped in the finest hospitality. Please enjoy a luxurious trip exclusively for 3 groups.
