IntaSect Communications, Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Tan Yufeng, President; hereinafter referred to as “the Company”), which provides overseas promotion and inbound support mainly for mainland China and cross-border EC support for overseas customers, has relocated its Hokkaido Sales Office, its regional base in Hokkaido, to “JR GOGO SAPPORO” located a two-minute walk from Sapporo Station. The new office will be located in the JR GOGO SAPPORO building, a two-minute walk from Sapporo Station, and will begin operations on March 1, 2022 (Tuesday).

We will move to a private office in the “HOKKAIDO xStation01 -Social Good Birth Hub-“, a local development companion support space that opened in front of Sapporo Station in June 2021.

The facility is operated by JR East Japan Planning Corporation, a member of the JR East Group, and serves as an incubation facility that functions as a hub connecting companies, organizations, and individuals interested in regional development in Hokkaido with Hokkaido, the Tokyo metropolitan area, the rest of Japan, and overseas.

We decided to move to the new location because it is in line with our stance of “aiming to revitalize the region in cooperation with companies, organizations, and other fields in Hokkaido,” and because we believe that the accessibility of the Sapporo Station location will improve convenience within and outside the company and contribute to the promotion of cooperation.

In addition to the private offices used by the Company, the facility is also equipped with a community lounge for co-working and drop-in (temporary) use.
