Operations focus on the Tokyo, Chiba, and Kanagawa regions, targeting students, families, corporations, foreigners, and elderly individuals in the education, childcare, and healthcare sectors.
Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Ichikawa, Chiba, Japan, the company also handles inventory management and delivery of educational materials, classroom facility management, franchised cram school operations, and administrative and human resources support for subsidiaries. Gakken Holdings Co., Ltd. maintains a significant equity stake, reported at approximately 37.7%, with recent integration into the Gakken Group enhancing its position in learning centers and healthcare domains.
In recent developments, Ichishin Holdings completed an equity buyback program announced on October 21, 2025, acquiring 200,000 shares, or 2.43% of its issued share capital excluding treasury stock, for ¥90.2 million to support flexible capital policy amid business environment changes. The company reported third quarter 2025 revenue of ¥4.31 billion, up 4.4% year-over-year, reflecting steady growth in its core operations. Ongoing consolidation with Gakken Group, including contributions from the learning center business for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2024-2025, bolsters its educational and elderly care offerings.
