12 years ago, I moved from Japan to San Francisco with a dream of building a global company.
Today, I'm excited to announce that Anyplace is partnering with Daito Trust Construction, Japan's largest residential property manager by number of units managed.
When I left Japan, I never imagined that one day our startup would be working alongside one of the country's most established real estate companies.
This partnership is especially meaningful to me because it represents a bridge between the two places that have shaped my journey as an entrepreneur: Japan and the United States.
Together, Anyplace and Daito Trust will expand access to fully furnished, remote-work-ready housing across Japan, beginning with Tokyo, one of the world's most dynamic cities and a growing hub for international professionals, entrepreneurs, and remote workers.
When we started Anyplace, our mission was simple:
To make it easy to live and work Anyplace.
Today, that mission is bringing us back to Japan and enabling us to partner with one of the country's leading real estate companies to expand flexible housing for a global workforce.
As remote work continues to transform how people live and work, we believe flexible, move-in-ready housing in global cities like Tokyo will become an increasingly important part of the infrastructure that supports global talent mobility.
I'm grateful to the teams at Daito Trust and Anyplace who helped make this collaboration possible, as well as our investors, partners, customers, and team members who have supported us throughout this journey.
This is just the beginning of our expansion in Japan.
We're excited to bring more remote-work-friendly housing to Tokyo and beyond while helping global talent experience Japan with greater flexibility.
Special thanks to the teams at Daito Trust and Anyplace for making this partnership possible.
Looking forward to building the future of flexible living together.

Today is the last day to apply to @ycombinator Summer 2026.
Applying to YC changed the trajectory of Algolia, and my life. We were two French founders with a search API and a dream. YC gave us the network, the clarity, and the urgency to build something real.
If you’re on the fence: just apply. The worst that can happen is you don't get in. The best? Everything changes.

With the World Cup coming to the US this summer, we’re already seeing more extended stay bookings from travelers who want more than just a hotel — they want to actually live in LA while they’re here. ⚽
Work remotely during the day. Watch the matches at night. That’s the Anyplace experience.
Copper is ripping. Chamath told you it would.
From All-In’s 2026 Prediction Show (Published Jan. 9th):
“I will pick copper (as the biggest business winner of 2026).
We are still completely underestimating how short we are, in terms of the global demand supply dynamics of a handful of critical elements that we need, again, in the Trump Doctrine view of the world, that is no longer as multilateral as it was, and we need to have unilateral national security.
And if you look through that lens, the asset that is set up to go absolutely parabolic is copper.
And the reason is that it is, at least as it stands today, the most useful, cheap, amenable, conductive material that we have. That material manifests in everything from our datacenters, to our chips, to our weapons systems, it's just everywhere.
And right now, we are on a path, by 2040, where we will be short about 70% of the global supply at current course and speed. So I will pick copper.”
Going to buy my first watch... the @Rolex speaks to me.
