A man in his 50s — Expanding from a regional city to Tokyo

From a regional city to Tokyo —
test the market with minimal risk.

Step 1

STEP 1

He runs a software development company in Okayama and planned a move into Tokyo — keeping fixed costs and risk low until the branch took off.

Step 2

STEP 2

He signed up for an odorana Office private room as the Tokyo branch — a 3-person room as the base for sales in the capital.

Using the Private Office plan

A lockable room available 24/7, in a range of sizes to match your headcount.

Step 3

STEP 3

Sales rounds are mostly by train — and with odorana Office's location, getting around is efficient.

Step 4

STEP 4

Back from sales calls, straight into the internal meeting. With meetings every day, the free meeting booths are a blessing.

Using the meeting booths

Free meeting corners inside the coworking space — up to 2 hours per use, free of charge.

Step 5

STEP 5

The early days are a mountain of work. Video calls with the dev team at HQ run late — 24/7 access means the clock is never a problem.

Step 6

STEP 6

A client visits for negotiations; he books the meeting room. Location builds credibility — and a prime central-Tokyo address boosts trust.

Step 7

STEP 7

The Tokyo branch is off to a strong start. With odorana Office keeping costs low, business in Tokyo keeps moving forward.
