The restructuring involves its subsidiaries Okura Japan and K’s Property Co., Ltd.

The restructuring, executed through an absorption-type merger agreement signed on April 25th, 2024, will see K’s Property merged with Okura Japan, effective June 21st, 2024. Following the merger, Okura Japan will continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Okura Co., Ltd., while K’s Property will be absorbed and dissolved.
