Investment Overview

Onsen Dojo Co., Ltd. has announced its selection as an investment recipient of the "Shinkin Disaster Prevention Support Fund," managed by Shinkin Capital Co., Ltd. This specialized fund is dedicated to supporting businesses that undertake sustainable disaster prevention and mitigation investments, prioritizing those with a clear social impact on regional resilience.

About Onsen Dojo

A member of the ONDO Holdings group, Onsen Dojo Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Tokigawa, Saitama Prefecture. The company leverages the operation of hot spring and bathing facilities to catalyze regional revitalization and foster human resource development.

Background and Strategic Objectives

Onsen Dojo has proactively built a framework for emergency response through "Agreements on Providing Bathing Opportunities During Disasters" with the municipalities of Ogose, Tokigawa, Kamikawa, and Yokoze. The company has already demonstrated its utility during crises, providing essential bathing support to victims of past typhoons and road infrastructure failures.

In addition to emergency relief, Onsen Dojo promotes community readiness through regular "disaster prevention workshops" for local residents. This latest capital infusion is aimed at scaling and sustaining these efforts, ensuring that public facilities serve as more than just leisure spots, but as critical pillars of community safety.

Future Outlook

Looking ahead, Onsen Dojo is preparing for the grand reopening of "Friendship Saitama Yoshimi" (Yoshimi, Saitama Prefecture) in October 2026. Beyond its primary role as a regional lodging and wellness hub, the renovated facility is designed to significantly improve local disaster preparedness and expand the coverage of emergency evacuation sites in the area.
