Why it surfaced
This is unusually concrete local infrastructure: a 50-household service with a ¥2,980 monthly plan, four-day lending periods, LINE support, and an inventory ranging from impact drivers and ladders to flooring, wiring, and leftover timber. It aims to be less a rental shop than the neighborhood’s go-to craftsperson for household problems.
