From one era to the next

Paving the way

for tomorrow

Chishima Real Estate is a value-creation company that carries forward
the traditions, businesses and assets passed down since the Edo period,
imbuing them with new value for future generations

The origins of Chishima Real Estate date back to the Edo period. Shibakawa Mataemon I recognized the potential in land, which at the time did not hold the asset value as it does today. He boldly closed his flourishing trading business, purchased newly developed land, and started to the real estate industry. With a primary focus on land leasing, our business has been growing over more than 100 years to encompass both global and local ventures, such as aircraft leasing, domestic and international real estate investments, regional development initiatives, and support for the arts. We invest in the value of assets. The value creates prosperity in the society, and the society creates new value. Chishima Real Estate will continue to invest in the future as a value creation company, unlocking the potential of both people and real estate.
