2026 New Year’s Greeting

Happy New Year.
As we welcome the beginning of 2026, we would like to express our deepest appreciation for your continued trust and support.

Guided by our mission to accelerate real estate transactions through technology, we made steady progress throughout 2025. In the year ahead, we remain firmly committed to contributing to the sustainable development of the real estate industry and the continued vitality of the market.

While the global adoption of AI technologies accelerated last year, we do not regard AI as a passing technological trend. Rather, we view it as an essential means of addressing the extensive operational requirements and complex barriers inherent in real estate transactions. All of our technological initiatives—from advanced document analysis to highly accurate matching—are designed to reduce our customers’ operational burden and significantly shorten the time required to complete transactions.

The real estate market continues to face a complex landscape. Although property prices in major urban areas remain firm, uncertainty persists due to factors such as interest rates, inflation, and currency fluctuations. Nevertheless, supported by favorable exchange rates and yield differentials, overseas investment continues to flow into Japan, underscoring sustained confidence in the Japanese market.

In such circumstances, RESTAR’s role is not merely to organize information. Our essential value lies in enhancing liquidity within the real estate market. Regardless of market conditions, our mission is to create mechanisms that enable high-quality assets to connect with the right buyers and be traded efficiently. By leveraging technology to minimize transactional friction, we seek to maximize the inherent liquidity of assets.

At a time when cloud services were often regarded as premature in the real estate industry, we believed in their potential and took the initiative to pioneer new approaches. We are convinced that fundamental challenges reside precisely in areas where others hesitate. This spirit of questioning established norms and creating new standards has been deeply embedded in our organization since its founding.

Currently, we are advancing several ambitious projects beyond existing frameworks, steadily and with great care. While each initiative presents significant challenges, we are united as a team in our determination to overcome them and implement meaningful new value in the market.

In the coming year, we will continue to stand at the forefront of change without hesitation, strongly supporting the circulation of the real estate market—often described as the lifeblood of the Japanese economy. We respectfully ask for your continued support and patronage.

CEO, RESTAR Inc.
