Nice to meet you. I am Katsuyuki Nakagawa of Nakagawa Juken Corperation, a company based in Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture. I was born in Hidokoro, Yagi Town, Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture, and spent my childhood living in a traditional Japanese house known as “Kominka.” It is through experiencing the charm, beauty, and deliciousness of rural life that I felt the potential of "social business." In 2015, when I became the representative, I aimed for a second founding, aspiring to make it a future core business.

While rural living has gained attention in recent years, dealing with rural real estate requires essential local information. The reason why major real estate companies cannot enter the market for traditional house transactions or rural living businesses is also related to this.

We believe that local companies should address local challenges. Our company aims to visualize the intrinsic richness overlooked in everyday life in rural areas and become a company that “solves local issues with a business approach."

When purchasing a kominka, overseas clients may feel uneasy due to unfamiliarity with Japanese real estate business practices and contracts.

Our company president became the "Otanushi" (Field Master) for the Saiden at the Daijosai.

In the Daijosai held in November 2019, associated with the change of era due to the abdication of the Emperor, our company president, Mr. Hisao Nakagawa, was selected as the "Otanushi" (Field Master) for the "Saiden" offering rice, and we had the honor of presenting rice. The Saiden is chosen at only two locations nationwide when the era changes, and it is a prestigious honor given to only ten places in total across the Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras.
