Launch of 'Mori-Search': A Forest Location Identification Service to Find Your 'Lost' Forests Across Japan

Shishigami Company (Headquarters: Higashishirakawa Village, Gifu; Representative: Fusakuni Taguchi) officially launched its new service for forest owners, 'Mori-Search,' on April 1, 2026. Mori-Search is a service that identifies the location of forests you own based on public documents such as fixed asset tax ledgers and registration information. Background: 'I inherited a forest, but I don't know where it is.' Many forest owners across Japan face this issue. Although they pay property taxes every year, they have never visited the forest and do not know its location. We launched 'Mori-Search' to solve this problem of 'unknown owned forests.' While forest utilization is an important theme for the future, the fact that many owners cannot grasp their own forest holdings is a hidden social issue hindering such utilization. 'If you know where the forest is, the future opens up.' We hope that Mori-Search will lead to further forest utilization. Service Details: Mori-Search identifies the location of forests based on information such as fixed asset tax statements, registry books, public maps, forest registers, and topographic maps. We provide a report that visualizes the target forest on a map. You do not need to prepare all these documents; the 'Fixed Asset Tax Ledger' received when paying taxes is sufficient. Confidentiality agreements are signed regarding personal and asset information. Pricing (Post-payment): The basic fee is 33,000 yen (tax included) per request. This covers any number of plots within a single municipality. For multiple municipalities, an additional fee of 22,000 yen per municipality applies. Payment is made after you are satisfied with the report. Features: 1. Only the 'Fixed Asset Tax Statement' is required. 2. Fully remote/nationwide support. 3. Delivered in a report format. 4. Safe post-payment system. If you are not satisfied, there is no charge. For more details, please visit our website.
