◼︎2019 Added Facility Transition
[Sunada’s comment]
HafH (Hafu), which began in April 2019, has grown at a pace that exceeds our initial plans. We believe that this is due in part to the support of our partner facilities, who share our desire to provide a place where people can say “welcome home” anywhere in the world.
Over the past year, we have focused on expressing our goal of providing a “service that allows you to live easily anywhere in the world.” Since we have not yet reached “anywhere in the world,” we will continue to focus on expanding our partner facilities in cities around the world. We currently aim to have 50 cities overseas, mainly in Asia, by March 2020, and plan to focus on expanding our European operations in 2020. In addition, we will accelerate the development of our in-house HafH facilities, such as “HafH Fukuoka THE LIFE,” which is scheduled to open on February 1, 2020.
In 2020, KabuK Style will continue to work towards its mission of “creating infrastructure for a society that tolerates diverse values.”
