We trace our roots back to a shipping agent/cargo broker Kajikyu in the early modern period.
Kajikyu organized shipments of rice and sake from Ishinomaki to Edo, or old Tokyo. Kajikyu later became a forwarder.
More than 100 years has passed since then.
We have been a logistics partner of the community all the time, responding to the needs.
We have never stopped evolving, and will continue to evolve in the future.
