What InterON does

InterON Corporation (株式会社インターオン) is a Tokyo-based, privately held Japanese IT services and diversified product company founded on August 4, 2000, and led by Representative Director 姜 平守 (Kang Pyeong-su). The company operates from a single headquarters in Shinjuku, Tokyo, with 10 million yen registered capital, and is registered as a Type II Telecommunications Carrier with Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (Registration No. A-19-9329). Its core software franchise is the TourCubic reservation and settlement management system for hotels, travel agencies, and tour operators, available in four deployment modes (Standard/Online, Magic/Offline, Mobile, and Platform/ASP) that integrate reservation reception, processing, invoicing, voucher generation, and accounting reconciliation.

Beyond software, InterON sells proprietary hardware products: the SRD (Scale Removal Device), launched in May 2025, uses electrolysis to reduce Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and SiO₂ in cooling water to CaO precipitate, claiming 15-30% annual energy cost reduction; the NTE ECO CHIP, launched in November 2022, uses proprietary soft ferrite technology to absorb electromagnetic waves and claims an average 4.08% power saving. The company also runs an eshop-i e-commerce brand selling 生えごま油 (Egoma oil) registered as a Food with Functional Claims (Notification G176) with Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency, and 369参 (369 Ginseng) Korean ginseng products.

Revenue is generated across five distinct streams: (1) custom web system development and hosting services (professional services and subscription); (2) TourCubic SaaS subscription and implementation fees; (3) hardware sales of SRD and NTE ECO CHIP through wholesale channels; (4) e-commerce of consumer health products (eshop-i, 369 Ginseng) including via Amazon Japan; and (5) IT labor dispatch and event planning services. Go-to-market is primarily direct sales supplemented by an expanding partner and agent channel for TourCubic. The disclosed customer base is concentrated among Korean cultural institutions, Korean diaspora organizations, language schools, and small hospitality and e-commerce firms in Japan, with stated scale of "over 10 client companies" for the core website/hosting line.
