Joyful Honda Co., Ltd.

In 1975, decided to establish Joyful Honda with the theme 'Making residential environments richer and more comfortable.'

Our founder, Masaya Honda, was impressed by the development of suburban-style stores in the motorized North American society when he traveled to the United States. Among them, the home center particularly caught his eye. Confident that consumers who had their basic needs met would turn their attention to housing, he decided in 1975 to establish Joyful Honda with the theme 'Making residential environments richer and more comfortable.'
