Company

I created REMETIS initially as a side project, while working at a foreign headquartered real estate investment firm with their Tokyo team, with a goal to improve and streamline daily operations.

At the time, there was no comprehensive centralized platform to compile the many materials needed for real estate investment analysis in Japan, and information sources ranged from multiple websites to paper-based documents, making it extremely difficult to collect and consolidate information.
In addition, it was also impossible to systematically obtain demographic statistics, information on government filings, corporate press releases, and other information that could be useful in the context of real estate investment.

On the other hand, in the financial industry, investment decisions are based on vast amounts of information, such as in fixed income, equity investments, M&A, multiple data services (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv, Capital IQ, Speeda, among many others) and they are competing with each other, which is very different from the real estate industry.

Therefore, at that time, I began working on creating REMETIS during the weekends to compile useful information for real estate investment and create a database for myself in order to streamline my weekday work.

Then, I hit it off with another founding member, an engineer who was in graduate school at the time, and what was simply a personal data collection activity gradually took shape as a business.

We then conceived of a platform that would not be a simple database, but rather a new “industry standard” that would consolidate the information and functions necessary for real estate transactions.
We believed that this would not only improve the efficiency of information gathering and documentation related to real estate investment and financing, but also promote the discovery of new and creative investment perspectives by allowing companies to spend more time on useful analytical activities.

As a result, we came to the conclusion that we could increase liquidity in real estate transactions, just as it is in the financial industry.

With this in mind, I founded RESTAR inc. with the vision of “A world where assets are more liquid and reliable". To realize this vision, I developed REMETIS, a management and analysis platform for real estate and geographic information.

Today, we continue to push forward with our business, believing that it is a business of great social significance that will revitalize the real estate transaction market and lead to further efficient utilization of the limited land and resources on our planet.
