Careers — Join Our Team
Join Us in Shaping
Japan's Future Communities.
We believe in the enduring value of Japan's rural heritage and living culture.
We are looking for people ready to carry that legacy into the next century.
What We Stand For
"Turning regional heritage into future capital."
This is our reason for being.
Since our founding in 2009, NOTE Inc. has worked alongside communities across Japan, drawing on historic architecture and vernacular living culture as the foundation for sustainable local economies.
We are not looking for a fixed skill set. We are looking for people who ask deeply, "Why does this work matter?" — those who can walk alongside local communities and carry the value of living culture forward to the next generation.
Working at NOTE is more than a job. It is an ongoing act of community-building: curating living culture, regenerating historic places, and designing a future worth passing on. If that kind of challenge speaks to you, we sincerely welcome you to our team.
Takeshi Fujiwara, Representative Director, NOTE Inc.
