協議会概要


Thank you for visiting the Rental Storage Association of Japan’s website.

History:

The Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation completed a study regarding the relationship between the “Self-Storage Industry and Consumer Protection” in March 2003. The report indicated issues regarding the differentiation between self-storage facilities operated by traditional warehousing businesses and self-storage businesses operated in non-warehousing facilities.

Identified Issues:

On May 20, 2003, 7 major operators within the self-storage industry of Japan were selected to form the first association for Self Storage on a strictly volunteer basis. Since the early stages of the RSA’s development we have stayed true to our goal of protecting and educating consumers who are new to renting self-storage units. Before the creation of this association there were no set industry standards. Our desire to provide safety, security and accessible, accurate information while improving on the customer service experience for the general public became our mission.

Our Mission Statement:

In order to complete our mission, we have established a strict set of standards that must be met to become a qualified RSA member. As we have grown the number of new joining members has been rapidly increasing, right along with the total number of self-storage facilities. We have become increasingly aware of the need to "open our doors" even further to any and all operators who respect the law and care for the safety of consumers to continue to grow and stimulate this industry.


On October 28, 2010 we made the decision to officially incorporate our association by registering with the government. To date we are only association endorsed by the Japanese Government and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation.


The RSA is fully committed to continuing to work with our member operators, other associations throughout the world as well as consumer groups to continue to improve the Japanese self-storage industry. Together we can provide accurate and up-to-date information through our website and regularly scheduled meetings where we will discuss relevant issues and plan future events to stimulate the self-storage industry's consumer awareness and growth.


If you have any questions and/or comments, please feel free to contact our office.
