Across more than 70 years, Mori Trust Group has been active as a real estate developer involved in large-scale complex development in urban centers of Japan as well as in the hotel and resort business in major vacation destinations.

The Group origins lie in the Mori Group, which was founded by my grandfather, economist and entrepreneur Taikichiro Mori, to engage in real estate development in Japan’s urban centers.
Subsequently, Akira Mori, the founder’s third son and also my father, inherited and continued the development of Mori Trust. I succeeded him as President & CEO in 2016.

This year marks the milestone of our 50th anniversary in the hotel business.
In 1973, ahead of the growth in leisure demand, we established Japan’s first corporate membership resort, LAFORET CLUB. In urban development, we have been redefining the approach to city planning by attracting luxury hotels which provide urban functions that enhance the international competitiveness of Tokyo since the start of the 2000s. Furthermore, in regional areas, we have worked to revitalize local economies and develop Japan’s tourism industry by attracting foreign-owned hotels.

Our business strategy is built on the three pillars of real estate, hotels & resorts, and investments. Under our medium- to long-term vision “Advance 2030,” we aim to achieve new investments of 1.2 trillion yen, sales of 330 billion yen, and operating profit of 70 billion yen by fiscal 2030.

Rather than preserving the past, business succession involves undergoing a ceaseless transformation for the purpose of carrying forward the passion that we have inherited into the future.
Going forward, we will continue to generate new value while responding to the needs of a changing society.
