SLOC WORKS Research Institute Moves Head Office To Sapporo
The relocation puts the institute's research work in Sapporo and its business support work under one roof, with the company treating the personnel and location change as a fresh start rather than a routine office move.

SLOC WORKS Research Institute LLC relocated its head office from Beppu, Oita Prefecture to Sapporo, Hokkaido, effective October 1, 2026. Rira Tsubota became Representative Member CEO, succeeding Yu Miyamoto. The company calls the move a second founding and runs two businesses: SLOC model research and development, and business support. Its corporate website was renewed.
The new office is Flarte Sapporo 908 in Chuo-ku, Sapporo. The company describes itself as a hands-on think tank that studies how local communities and small businesses sustain themselves, built on four principles: Small, Local, Open, and Connected.
Sapporo field research, including work around the location Kissa Konomoshi, is now meant to sit closer to the institute's management and business development work. Beppu, where the company began, stays part of the picture as a regional connection.
The company framed the head office move and the change of representative together as a second founding, and renewed its corporate website to show its research, demonstration efforts, and consulting support.
