Our thoughts to Jumpu-Manpan 

​

"Jumpu-Manpan" means "Smooth Sailing" in Japanese four characters idiom. Jumpu-Manpan is not only our hostel name but our inspiration in how we can help you catch that great tailwind and sail smoothly into a new adventure.

​

We decided 

​

​

The concept of our hostel is "Connecting our guests and people in Otaru". We strive to help visitors experience the beauty of Otaru while providing a comfortable harbor in which to plan further travels or relax and minge with locals, friends, and new people from all over the world.

"LLC (Limited Liability Company) ええんちゃう EENCHAU"

​

Our history

We decided to open our hostel "to utilize a vacant house effectively" which was suggested by the construction company which has a long-term relationship with us.

However, it was not easy to run a hostel because we had to start everything from scratch, such as structuring a management style, 

　and starting operating company. HTherefore, in October 2018, we started "LLC EENCHAU".

​

Throughout managing our company, we try to solve some issues below to realize ideal Otaru city.

​

​

1. Vacant house problem

According to the investigation, the percentage of vacant house in Otaru in 2013 is 17.4%, which is much higher than the national average of it. 

​

2. Super-aging society

The aging rate in Otaru in 2017 was 38.2%. In this super-aging society, it is highly important for young people to revitalize Otaru city by taking action.

​

3. The gap between Tourist spots (Tourists) and Residence (Residents)

Although Otaru is remarkably famous for its tourism

We reckon that it is needed for revitalizing Otaru city to connect both of them and interact with each other in a great way.
