Ohta Group

Ohta Group (OHTA GROUP) is a Japanese corporate group headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, with OHTA INC. (株式会社オータ) as its core company. The group is primarily engaged in the operation of pachinko halls and real estate, and has expanded into hotels, fitness, food services, and building maintenance. Its pachinko operations are concentrated in the Tokai region, the Kanto region, and Okinawa Prefecture. The group traces its origins to 1971, when its first pachinko hall opened in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture. Over the decades it developed multiple store formats, including "Ohta" and "Grand Ohta" in the Tokai and Kanto regions, and "Jumbo," "Sunshine," "Sunshine NEXT," and "J-Park" in Okinawa. Former formats included "Lucky," "Yume Ichiban," "Yume Hiroba," "Birdie," "Ginga," "Dream," "Sunrise," and "Sunbird." Beyond pachinko, the group entered the hotel business in 2012 by acquiring Hotel Nikko Toyohashi in its founding city of Toyohashi and rebranding it as Loisir Hotel Toyohashi. In 2019 it established a fitness division, and in 2021 it opened the off-track keirin betting facility Satellite Hanazono Yorii in Yorii, Saitama Prefecture. Group companies include OHTA INC., Sunshine Co., Ltd., J-Park Co., Ltd., Tower Hotel and Resort Co., Ltd., With Fit 24 Co., Ltd., MOC Co., Ltd., and Sunshine Building NET Co., Ltd. The group remains privately held and continues to operate across its core pachinko and diversified service businesses.

Ohta Group's history began in 1971, when its first pachinko hall opened in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture. From this base in the Tokai region, the group expanded its pachinko hall operations across the Tokai and Kanto regions and into Okinawa Prefecture. Over time it developed a range of store formats tailored to different markets, including "Ohta" and "Grand Ohta" in the Tokai and Kanto regions, and "Jumbo," "Sunshine," "Sunshine NEXT," and "J-Park" in Okinawa. Earlier formats that the group operated included "Lucky," "Yume Ichiban," "Yume Hiroba," "Birdie," "Ginga," "Dream," "Sunrise," and "Sunbird." A significant diversification step came on September 13, 2012, when the group acquired Hotel Nikko Toyohashi in its founding city of Toyohashi and brought it under the group umbrella. On November 1 of that year, the hotel began operating as Loisir Hotel Toyohashi, marking the group's entry into hotel management. In July 2019, the group established a fitness division, further broadening its business portfolio beyond pachinko and real estate. On September 30, 2021, the group opened Satellite Hanazono Yorii, an off-track keirin betting facility, in Yorii, Saitama Prefecture. The group's corporate structure includes several subsidiaries: OHTA INC. (pachinko hall operation and real estate leasing, with capital of 537.41 million yen), Sunshine Co., Ltd. (pachinko hall operation, capital 10 million yen), J-Park Co., Ltd. (pachinko hall operation, capital 10 million yen), Tower Hotel and Resort Co., Ltd. (hotel management), With Fit 24 Co., Ltd. (fitness business, capital 10 million yen), MOC Co., Ltd. (food and beverage business, capital 10 million yen), and Sunshine Building NET Co., Ltd.

The group continues to operate and has remained active in community sponsorship and charitable activities, as reflected in recent news releases.
