What Restar does
RESTAR Inc. (リスター), headquartered in Toranomon, Tokyo, is a privately held Japanese PropTech company that develops and operates REMETIS, a B2B information platform for managing and analyzing real estate and geographic data. Founded around 2016–2018 by CEO Hibiki Uno — a CPA with prior experience at PwC's M&A advisory practice and Angelo Gordon's real estate investment business — RESTAR builds on Elixir/Phoenix and a map-based cloud architecture to convert fragmented property information into structured, geo-referenced databases. The platform integrates authoritative nationwide data sources including ZENRIN Maps, LIFULL HOME'S, NTT Docomo Mobile Spatial Statistics, and proprietary automated extraction of land registration records (登記簿謄本) to surface undisclosed transaction data, power needs-matching between buyers and sellers, and support external property sharing.
REMETIS is sold primarily as a B2B SaaS subscription on annual contracts to enterprise and mid-market customers across four primary segments: asset and fund managers (including J-REITs), real estate developers, financial institutions (banks, securities firms, insurers) for collateral evaluation and appraisal, and real estate brokers/intermediaries. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, the Salesforce AppExchange (via the REMETIS for Salesforce native app), and government IT Subsidy partner channels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Strategic partnerships include Tokyo Kantei (2025 capital and business alliance with reach to 4,200+ member companies), Salesforce Japan, ZENRIN, Property Data Bank, LIFULL HOME'S, NTT Docomo, and Oberhaus Japan. The company has ~11 visible team members, has received recognition including CIOReview APAC's "20 Most Promising Japanese Tech Companies" (2023), and continues to expand its AI-driven document analysis and matching capabilities under a 2026 product roadmap.

Restar competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Property Data Bank Co., Ltd. Property Data Bank provides @Property, a cloud-based property data management platform for J-REITs, developers, funds, and brokers in Japan. It is RESTAR's most direct competitor in the Japanese CRE data management space, and the two companies previously signed a partnership agreement in 2021 to explore service integration.
- ITANDI: ITANDI provides PropTech solutions for the Japanese rental real estate industry, including tenant screening, electronic contracts, and property management automation. While more focused on the rental/leasing workflow than REMETIS's data aggregation play, ITANDI is one of Japan's most prominent PropTech companies serving overlapping customer segments.
- いえらぶ (ielove): いえらぶ (ielove) provides cloud-based CRM and operational tools for Japanese real estate brokerages. It targets the same brokerage and intermediary segment as REMETIS, with a focus on workflow digitization and customer relationship management for small and mid-sized brokerages.
- CompStak: CompStak is a US-based commercial real estate data platform that crowdsources lease comparables and transaction data from brokers, appraisers, and researchers. It shares RESTAR's core model of aggregating proprietary transaction data to deliver market intelligence to CRE professionals.
- Cherre: Cherre is a US-based real estate data and analytics platform that aggregates property data from multiple sources to provide insights for owners, operators, and investors. Comparable to RESTAR in its multi-source data integration approach and focus on CRE professionals.
- Reonomy: Reonomy (acquired by Altus Group) provides US commercial real estate data and intelligence, aggregating property records, ownership data, and transaction information. Comparable to RESTAR's model of aggregating diverse property data sources into a unified intelligence platform.
Broad incumbents
- LIFULL Co., Ltd. LIFULL operates Japan's major real estate portal LIFULL HOME'S and also provides data services to the industry. As a data integration partner to RESTAR, it is both an enabler and a potential competitor with broader consumer reach and substantially larger data assets.
- at home Co., Ltd. at home operates one of Japan's largest real estate listing portals with comprehensive nationwide property data. As an incumbent in Japanese real estate information services, it has the data scale and broker relationships that pose competitive risk to REMETIS's positioning.
- ZENRIN Corporation: ZENRIN is Japan's leading map and location data provider, supplying residential maps and geographic data. As a core data integration partner to REMETIS, ZENRIN is both enabler and potential competitor — it has the data assets to build competing CRE analytics products.
Emerging players
- HouseCanary: HouseCanary provides US residential real estate analytics, valuations, and market intelligence powered by proprietary data and AI. While geographically US-focused, it shares RESTAR's vision of using data and technology to make real estate transactions more liquid and reliable.
