36 Degrees North takes its name from Japan’s geographical coordinates symbolizing our journey across the country—from Tokyo to Izu to Hokkaido. It reflects our deep connection to Japan and our mission to create exceptional experiences rooted in its unique culture and landscapes.
From Tokyo..
Our property journey began in Sangenjaya, Tokyo with a house transformations blending modern design with a minimalist approach to create a unique living spaces, one which gained national recognition when it was featured in an entire episode of BS Asahi’s popular show Takuro Tatsumi House Story Remodel.
Our love for natural beauty inspired our first steps away from the big city and first ski lodge in Kagura, Niigata, and a beach house in Shimoda, Izu.
To the White Sands of Shimoda, Izu..
Shimoda was the birth of our ‘Beach-Pop’ style project, where we transformed beachside properties by blending minimalism, pop art, and vibrant beach house colors to create a unique guest experience.
We successfully marketed these properties as standout vacation rentals. Building on this, we launched a property management business in Shimoda, specializing in high-end vacation rentals and optimizing guest experiences for both new and existing properties.
Our success there led to an invitation to expand into Niseko, Hokkaido
