  • Informationen Der Starthilfegruppe
    Informationen der Starthilfegruppe Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki Für Familien und Privatpersonen 2 Liebe Neuankömmlinge, wir sind eine Gruppe deutsch- und japanischsprachiger Familien in Tokyo, die erst kurz oder schon einige Jahre hier leben. Die ersten Wochen waren wohl für jeden von uns manchmal schwierig. Das Leben in Tokyo empfanden wir als sehr fremd und waren froh über die Hilfe, die wir erfahren haben. Praktische Unterstützung bei kleinen und großen Problemen, wie z.B. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Nahverkehrssystem, Spielplätzen, Parks, Freizeitmöglichkeiten und der Kontakt zu anderen Familien sind besonders in der ersten Zeit wichtig. Aus diesen Erfahrungen haben wir die Starthilfegruppe gegründet, um den neu zugezogenen Familien den Einstieg zu erleichtern. Zwei Mal im Jahr organisieren wir ein Starthilfetreffen, meist im September –nach den Sommerferien- und im März –nach den Frühlingsferien der DSTY. Bei Kaffee und Tee gibt es immer viel zu bereden; wir tauschen -neue- Informationen aus, erzählen, planen unsere Aktivitäten und lernen uns dabei besser kennen. Vielleicht möchten Sie schon von Deutschland aus Kontakt aufnehmen. Wir freuen uns über Ihren Anruf, Ihr Fax oder Ihre Mail und hoffen, dass wir uns bald kennen lernen. Bis bald Ihre Starthilfegruppe.

We also can’t ignore the artisanal gins in Japan that are breaking new ground with local botanicals including umbrella pine, kombu and shiitake mushroom. Don’t drink alcohol?

  • Notice on Launch of Sale and Management of Columbarium (Permanent Use Rights)
    October 29, 2020 Company name: ES-CON JAPAN Ltd. Representative: Takatoshi Ito, President & Representative Director (TSE 1st Section, code: 8892) Inquiries: Minoru Nakanishi, Senior Managing Director Tel: +81-3-6230-9308 Notice on Launch of Sale and Management of Columbarium (Permanent Use Rights) ES-CON JAPAN Ltd. (ES-CON JAPAN) announces that a decision was made at the board of directors’ meeting held today to launch a new business, the sale and management of a columbarium (permanent use rights) (the “Business”), through a consolidated subsidiary below as follows. 1. Background and Overview of the New Business ES-CON JAPAN will newly launch the Business in Minami Azabu, Minato-Ku, Tokyo. In an aging, high-death-rate society where it is said that there will be 1.68 million deaths in the year 2040, there is a shortage of cemeteries as well as concerns that there will be a lack of “grave guardians” given the declining birth rate and the increasing number of smaller families. In view of the fact that it is particularly difficult to obtain graves in central Tokyo, ES-CON JAPAN has decided to launch this Business in an effort to solve problems facing modern society and to secure revenue by expanding the scope of the real estate business. The Business will be conducted by Ryomon Co., Ltd. (“Ryomon”), the consolidated subsidiary outlined below in section 3. While the operations of the columbarium are overseen by Religious Corporation Zuikein (“Zuikein”), Ryomon has been entrusted with sales and management of the columbarium. The ES-CON JAPAN Group’s vision is to be a “life developer” that not only develops buildings but also the lives of those who live in them, thinking of their happiness, and the Group will take on the responsibility of managing and operating this long-standing columbarium.
