Recent Overview

Sales increased, but segment profit declined 4.7% year on year due to fewer visitors and higher costs

In the Leisure Business for FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales rose to ¥3,662 million (up 3.7% year on year), securing an increase in revenue, but the number of visitors remained at 1,585 thousand, down 56 thousand from the prior year. Segment profit declined to ¥808 million (down 4.7% year on year). Depreciation expense increased to ¥269 million (up ¥22 million year on year), among other cost burdens, putting pressure on margins. Looking ahead, the company plans to promote the expansion of the Savanna Area and the development of Jogasaki Coast as a tourism destination.
