Okumura-gumi is redeveloping the site of the school attended by its founder in Yoshino Town, Nara Prefecture, as the mixed-use accommodation facility YOSHISHO. The company is targeting an opening in 2027 and is advancing the site redevelopment project in collaboration with the local community.
Okumura-gumi is working toward opening YOSHISHO, a mixed-use accommodation facility, in 2027 as part of a project to redevelop a former elementary school site in Yoshino Town. The redevelopment aims to create a hub where people can come together through collaboration with the local community.
The facility will offer more than accommodation, with a range of services covering dining, bathing, exercise and training. The different areas will be connected by a central corridor, and the name reflects the facility's use of a school building constructed by the company itself.
The project is being positioned as a collaboration with Yoshino Town, with an emphasis on creating a facility that can grow with the local community.
