Tsukuba Housing Kobo Adds Smart Home Proposals To Renovation And New Builds
The pitch is that smart home adoption does not have to be locked into a new build, which is a way for a regional builder to keep selling to the growing number of people buying and repairing existing homes along the Tsukuba Express line.

Tsukuba Housing Kobo has fully launched proposals for living with off-the-shelf smart home devices, covering renovation, remodeling, and new construction, with support from the service mametto. Its Midorino Studio has 15 devices permanently installed for visitors to operate by reservation. Free study sessions in Tsukuba City are set for November 28 and December 13, 2026, at eight groups per session.
The consultation base is Midorino Studio in Tsukuba City, where 15 lighting, lock, camera, and sensor devices stay installed so visitors can try them before deciding. The company lists use cases such as heating a house before arrival, checking room temperatures by sensor, and reading the temperature at a parent's home.
The study sessions on November 28 and December 13, 2026 are free and limited to eight groups each. The city's population grew 11.3 percent from 2020 to 2025, and the company says people repairing homes 20 to 30 years old are increasing.
