Shingu Shoko began managing company-owned forests in 1924, when it planted larch trees in the Toro Mountain Forest in the Kushiro region, and in 1938, the company became independent as a forestry business, systematically planting larch trees mainly in Hokkaido and cedar and cypress trees in Honshu.
After World War II, there were some changes, such as the acquisition of uncultivated land, but since 1955, afforestation has been further promoted in Hokkaido, while in Honshu, afforestation has been carried out at a ratio of 50% Japanese cedar and 50% Japanese cypress.
Today, the Company manages 5,000 hectares of Company-owned forests throughout Japan.
We are continuing our efforts to achieve a balance in planting and thinning by combining harvesting of forests that have reached their harvesting stage with thinning for use.
