Record Book

Record Book (レコードブック) is a Japanese brand of rehabilitation-oriented day service (通所介護) centers for older adults, operated by Record Book Co., Ltd. (株式会社レコードブック). The service is a distinctive "three-hour rehabilitation-type day service" built around self-weight exercise programs rather than machine-based power rehabilitation, combined with cognitive stimulation and active communication between staff and users. The brand positions itself as a new form of day service that supports the extension of healthy life expectancy — helping seniors maintain and improve physical function, brain health, and social participation so they can continue living in their own way. The business began in October 2011 with the opening of "Record Book Nihonbashi" in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. Franchise expansion started in March 2014, and the brand has since grown into a nationwide network of centers across Japan, with new locations continuing to open in prefectures such as Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa, and Hyogo. The brand is aimed at seniors who wish to stay healthy and independent, and it also works closely with care managers (ケアマネジャー) who coordinate long-term care plans. Record Book was originally a business of Internet Infinity Inc. (株式会社インターネットインフィニティー), a company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In April 2024, the Record Book business was separated and incorporated as Record Book Co., Ltd., a subsidiary within the Internet Infinity group. The company is headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, and is led by President and Representative Director Takeshi Hayashi (林 岳史). Group companies include Internet Infinity Inc., Full Care Co., Ltd., Kankeisha Co., Ltd., and Saint Works Co., Ltd. Record Book's programs emphasize three pillars: physical health, brain health, and social participation. Its self-weight exercise approach is designed to be accessible to all users, focusing on muscles used in daily movements. Cognitive function is stimulated through memory-and-reproduction exercises and through conversation during training, while the full three hours of each session are filled with bright, courteous communication. The company also runs a franchise model, inviting franchise owners, and operates a trainer contest and other initiatives to maintain service quality.

Record Book began in October 2011 when "Record Book Nihonbashi" opened in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, launching a short-time rehabilitation-type day service business. The service was designed as a three-hour program centered on self-weight exercise rather than machine-based power rehabilitation, with additional emphasis on cognitive stimulation and communication. In March 2014, the brand began franchise expansion, allowing the model to spread beyond company-operated locations. The parent company at the time, Internet Infinity Inc., listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market in March 2017. In January 2018, the headquarters moved to Osaki, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. In April 2022, following the Tokyo Stock Exchange's market restructuring, Internet Infinity Inc. transitioned to the Growth Market. In October 2023, the headquarters moved to Nibancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. In April 2024, the Record Book business was separated from Internet Infinity Inc. and incorporated as Record Book Co., Ltd., establishing it as an independent subsidiary within the group. The new company continued to operate the rehabilitation-type day service and franchise business. As of 2026, Record Book continues to open new centers across Japan, including locations in Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa, and Hyogo prefectures. The company also maintains group companies including Internet Infinity Inc., Full Care Co., Ltd., Kankeisha Co., Ltd., and Saint Works Co., Ltd. The brand's programs focus on physical health, brain health, and social participation, with a stated goal of supporting healthy life expectancy for seniors.
