New Site 'Chiikibo Tenpo' Lists Small Shop Spaces Under 30 Tsubo, Launched Nov. 2
Safety Innovation, a commercial rent-guarantee company, launched 'Chiikibo Tenpo' on November 2, a property search site focused on retail spaces under 30 tsubo. It targets restaurant, salon and retail openings and relocations, listing properties handled by local real estate agents.
Key points
- Targets mainly spaces under 30 tsubo, especially about 5-20 tsubo; fit-out-included (nukinuki) and bare-shell terms can be checked
- Covers main areas of Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, Fukuoka, Aichi and Miyagi, with more to be added
- Offers photos, 360-degree VR for some listings, comparison and favorites, plus staff who suggest unlisted properties and arrange viewings
Background
The operator runs the 'Biz Hosho' commercial rent-guarantee service, which addresses credit concerns of new businesses and owners' worries about unpaid rent. It launched a small-office sister site, 'Chiikibo Office', in January 2026.
Listings generally require agents to register as Biz Hosho agents and to use the guarantee when a lease is signed.
What it means for shops
People planning to open or move a small shop get one more place to search. Note that the model is built around the company's guarantee service, which requires screening and does not promise a lease will be concluded.
What shops should do
- Clarify your target area, floor size, rent and whether you want fit-out-included or bare shell, then filter on the site
