Overview
Fureasu Co., Ltd. is a Japanese healthcare services company headquartered in Nishi-Gotanda, Shinagawa, Tokyo. Its core business is home-visit massage (houshin massage) and home-visit nursing, delivered mainly under Japan's public long-term care and medical insurance systems. The company traces its origins to 2000, when a home-visit massage service called Fureai Zaitaku Massage was started in Minamikoma District, Yamanashi Prefecture. It was incorporated in 2002 in Kofu, Yamanashi, and reorganized as a stock company in 2005. In 2011 it opened a Tokyo head office and changed its trade name to Fureasu Co., Ltd. Fureasu's stated mission is to eliminate 'end-of-life refugees' (看取り難民) — people who cannot receive end-of-life care where they wish — by providing in-home medical care, and its management vision is to 'brighten the situation of home medical care in Japan.' The company provides massage services including home-visit acupuncture and massage and office massage, and it also operates home-visit nursing, small-scale multifunctional in-home care, and nursing small-scale multifunctional in-home care. It has expanded through franchising of insurance-covered massage services since 2019, and through acquisitions of nursing businesses. Fureasu listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market (now Growth) in March 2019. It has subsidiaries including Orthancia Harmony (subsidiarized in 2020), Sky Heart (subsidiarized in 2021, renamed Fureasu Kind Care in 2026), and Fureasu Mirai Works (established 2025). The company also engages in research through its 'Future Creation Lab' and collaborates with university researchers on acupuncture and massage research and academic presentations. It is active in CSR, including support for professional golfers and sports teams, and emphasizes quality control and anti-fraud systems.
History
Fureasu's history begins in July 2000, when a home-visit massage service named 'Fureai Zaitaku Massage' was founded in Minamikoma District, Yamanashi Prefecture, and began operating as a massage business.
