With our transportation business serving as a base, we at the Tokyu Group are pursuing a wide array of businesses that serve everyday needs, encompassing fields including real estate, life services, and hotels and resorts. In order to improve everyday life, we will continue to identify customers’ unrecognized needs and offer innovative services to meet society’s demands. We will do this by combining the diverse business functions of the Tokyu Group’s companies in their various fields of endeavor. Our aim is to create a spiral of increased value in communities served by Tokyu train lines and in daily life.
The Tokyu Group traces its roots back to the Den-en-toshi Company, which Shibusawa Eiichi established to develop ideal residential areas. In 1922, the company’s railway division was hived off to form the Meguro-Kamata Electric Railway Company, which was the predecessor of today’s Tokyu Corporation. Since then, building on the foundations of our mainstay railway and real estate businesses, we have expanded into a variety of businesses aimed at enriching our customers’ lives, in fields as wide-ranging as construction, retail, life services, and hotels and leisure. Although we have weathered a multitude of major environmental changes and adversities over the last 100 years, we have continually faced up to the social issues of the times and taken on challenges in order to provide value through urban development benefiting our customers in their everyday lives.
A number of the Tokyu Group’s big projects will enter service in 2023. In our railway business, the Tokyu Shin-yokohama Line began operating in March, forming a huge network of 14 lines. The move also substantially improves access to the Kansai region via Shin-Yokohama Station on the Tokaido Shinkansen line. April 14 sees the opening in Shinjuku of Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, a hotel and entertainment complex featuring a movie theater, theater, and live music venue. In Shibuya, the Shibuya Sakuragaoka block urban redevelopment project is scheduled for completion.
Based on our slogan “Toward a Beautiful Age,” the Tokyu Group will continue to undertake urban development that enables people to experience enjoyment, enrichment, and beauty. And in doing so, we will strive to be a business group that plays a part in upholding Japan’s status as a global cultural superpower. Thank you for your ongoing support of the Tokyu Group.
