Concept of Rakuten STAY

• Brand Purpose : To make life more enjoyable through STAY

Uniquely within the Rakuten Group, this business allows you to directly deliver value to end-users, enabling you to experience their reactions firsthand.

While the wide range of tasks (coordinating with sellers, intermediaries, government agencies, and other internal departments) can be challenging and complex, the ability to collaborate with others and gain the feeling and experience of building a business from the ground up is incredibly enjoyable and contributes significantly to your career development as a business professional.
