Zenko-kai supports elderly individuals in acting according to their own wishes and desires—such as eating and sleeping—to foster a sense of vitality and hope for life. Meanwhile, it is committed to enhancing the quality of life and well-being of older adults through technology and warm, personalized services, thereby realizing a rich and autonomous “life befitting human dignity.”

Guest Speaker: Ryo Maekawa, Director of the Zenko-kai General Research Institute

In the Business District Roaming section, we encourage participants to move beyond the traditional tourist-shopping perspective and instead engage as immersed business observers. By experiencing and learning from Japan’s unique commercial culture and innovative models, participants can seek cross-industry innovation. To this end, we have carefully selected four distinctive brand stores in Ginza, Tokyo, for in-depth visits.

Tsutaya Books

Keywords: Lifestyle Proposal

Insight: Tsutaya Books uses books as a traffic driver to offer lifestyle proposals. Selling books is merely the entry point; more importantly, it targets its core demographic—primarily affluent seniors with leisure time—by marketing a lifestyle within the bookstore setting. This encourages customers to linger and immerse themselves in the curated space, spending longer and more unhurried periods there, which inadvertently drives higher sales volume that does not necessarily stem from book purchases. Entrepreneurs can thus consider how to attract and retain customers by providing comprehensive healthy-lifestyle proposals, rather than simply selling individual health products or services.
