By balancing returns with environmental impact, we aim to shape the future of sustainable energy in Japan.
Inbound Tourism
Introduction
Empowering Regional Economies through Tourism Growth
POD contributes to Japan’s vision as a global tourism destination by investing in the inbound market to revitalize local economies.
Strengths in this field Inbound's Strengths
Accelerating Inbound Growth Through Culture and Experiential Value
Japan’s inbound tourism industry has shown a robust recovery post-COVID-19. If current trends continue, the government’s 2030 targets—60 million annual inbound visitors and ¥15 trillion in travel spending—are within reach.
In this expanding market, POD invests in companies that create compelling tourism and accommodation experiences rooted in local culture and regional appeal.
From development and operations to marketing, we provide comprehensive investment support across the entire value chain, aligning profitability with social value to advance national tourism strategies and revitalize regional economies.
Sports
Introduction
Advancing the Growth and Commercialization of Japanese Sports
POD believes in the accelerating industrialization of Japan’s sports sector—and is committed to leading its evolution.
Strengths in this field Sports Strengths
Unlocking the Future through Sports Innovation
Japan is undeniably a sports powerhouse, producing world-class athletes and original sports content. However, the commercial development of the sports industry remains underutilized—lagging behind major Western countries in market size and per capita sports spending.
At POD, we see high growth potential in Japan’s sports economy. Our initiatives have included global marketing strategies linking domestic brands with international fans, athlete agency and brand building, and new ventures in sports-related asset management.
We will continue to actively support and incubate new businesses that promote the growth, innovation, and commercialization of Japanese sports.
