Why you should work at our company

Benefits highlights

  • There is a company dormitory where you can live at half the market rent (Misato-chuo, where the company dormitory is located, is about 30 minutes to Tsukuba and about 20 minutes to Akihabara by train.).
  • The office is located in a building in front of Tsukuba Station, making it convenient for transportation.
  • It takes 45 minutes from Tsukuba Station to Akihabara Station (central Tokyo) by rapid train. It’s easy to go to the center of Tokyo even on weekends. The comfortable environment of Tsukuba, a moderate distance from the center of Tokyo, is also attractive.
  • Tsukuba is an academic research city. Unlike other regional cities in Japan, where there is an international conference center right in front of the head office, the town is friendly to foreigners and attracts scholars from all over the world. There are a certain number of Indian customers, so there are quite a few Indian curry restaurants.

Housing support

Company dormitory available (furnished, with appliances, auto-locking, 5 min. walk from Misato Chuo Station)

Leisure facilities at work & activities outside of work

We often have outdoor barbecue parties.
Golf, soccer, basketball, mountain climbing, and other activities are also conducted by volunteers (people who are interested in participating are gathering at will, not required to participate).
In order to raise environmental awareness and contribute to the local community, we also conduct activities such as garbage pick-up activities (after the garbage pick-up, we have a party to thank everyone for their hard work).
