Welcome Hokkaido Hobby Homes as USJETAA’s Newest Corporate Sponsor
We are excited to welcome Hokkaido Hobby Homes (HHH) as our newest corporate sponsor! JET alum Jomo Mulholland (Kanagawa, 1994-1995) is part of the HHH team which works to support individuals who are looking to build a life in Hokkaido or spend time there on a regular basis with a home of their own. More and more JETs are looking for ways to re-engage and re-immerse themselves in the country they love and HHH is excited to facilitate those who have a passion for Japan to meaningfully connect with and become part of local communities across Hokkaido.
About this sponsor:
Hokkaido Hobby Homes specializes in helping people from around the world discover, purchase, and revitalize unique properties across Hokkaido. From abandoned akiya and mountain retreats to charming seaside homes, the company is dedicated to transforming hidden gems into dream homes while providing expert guidance throughout the entire journey.
More than a real estate company, Hokkaido Hobby Homes offers a comprehensive range of services designed to make property ownership in Japan simple and accessible. Support includes property sourcing, due diligence, legal assistance, renovation planning, utility setup, property management, and investment guidance.
With bilingual support, extensive local expertise, and a trusted network of partners, Hokkaido Hobby Homes helps international buyers navigate the Japanese property market with confidence. The company's mission is not only to facilitate property ownership, but also to help clients build meaningful connections with their new home, their local community, and a new chapter of life in Japan.
Their responsibility is not simply to help clients find a house, but to help them after their purchase to become part of something lasting and meaningful.
A Few Words from Jacob Rashidi, Founder – Hokkaido Hobby Homes
"Many people come to Japan for a year and leave with a lifelong connection to the country, its people, and its communities. At Hokkaido Hobby Homes, our goal is to help those connections continue long after the JET Programme ends. Whether you're dreaming of a seasonal retreat, a future retirement home, a business venture, or simply spending more time in Japan, our team is here to help you navigate the journey with honesty, local knowledge, and genuine care. We look forward to welcoming more JET alumni back to the communities they love."
A Message from Jomo Mulholland, HHH Agent & JET Alum (Kanagawa, 1994–1996)
"My time on JET remains one of the most meaningful chapters of my life. Like many alumni, Japan never really left me. That's one reason I'm proud to be part of Hokkaido Hobby Homes. We understand that for many JET alumni, returning to Japan is about much more than buying property—it's about reconnecting with a place, a culture, and a community that helped shape who you are. We would be honored to help you explore what that next chapter might look like in Hokkaido."For those of you exploring the idea of or looking to build a home base in northern Japan, this is a JET connection you don’t want to pass up!
