Tokyo Stress Management Co., Ltd.

Tokyo Stress Management Co., Ltd. (株式会社東京ストレスマネジメント) is a Japanese corporate training, consulting and publishing company based in Yamato, Kanagawa Prefecture. According to its company profile, it was established on 4 July 1984 and describes itself as the first business in Japan to build a dedicated enterprise around managing stress and energizing both individuals and organizations. Its registered capital is reported as 25 million yen, and its representative director is Isao Imai (今井 功). The firm is privately held and not listed on a stock exchange. The company's business is organized around what it calls "stress management" — the idea, quoting the stress-research pioneer Hans Selye, that stress can be treated as "adaptive energy" and "the spice of life" rather than something to be feared. Its stated three-step method teaches clients the correct mechanism of stress, helps them see themselves through the "lens" of stress, and equips them with scientific, safe management techniques. On this foundation it offers in-house corporate stress-management training programs, open seminars, sleep-management seminars, workplace stress assessments, individual and organizational stress diagnosis and consulting, stress-related counseling, and the development of self-management web programs. A distinctive part of the business is education and certification: the company runs a training course for "stress management specialists" (ストレスマネジメント士養成講座) and operates the Stress Management Instructors Association (ストレスマネジメント指導者協会). It also develops and publishes stress-management and relaxation teaching materials, including a relaxation lesson CD that can be practiced anytime and anywhere, and sells these through an online shop. Its website lists a "stress health forecast" feature and a comprehensive workplace stress diagnosis service. The company states that it has provided stress-management programs to many companies and individuals over a quarter of a century, and it has partnered with a number of medical clinics and research bodies, including Karaki Psychosomatic Clinic, Ginza Internal Medicine Clinic, Kannoki Clinic, Sensoku Mental Clinic, Mayumi Pediatric Clinic, Sangenjaya Neurology Clinic, the Tokyo Stress Research Foundation, the Educational Environment Research Institute and Ishibashi Clinic. It also ran a reconstruction-support program in the aftermath of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Stress management, relaxation and stress inventory are registered trademarks of the company. Its office is in Shimotsuruma, Yamato, Kanagawa, near Tsukimino Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line.

Tokyo Stress Management Co., Ltd. was established on 4 July 1984, according to the company profile on its official website. The company presents itself as the first business in Japan to create a dedicated enterprise around managing stress and revitalizing individuals and organizations. From its founding it has consistently pursued two related goals: developing people who can make effective use of stress (human-resource and capability development), and popularizing relaxation techniques. The firm built its identity on a particular interpretation of stress. Citing Hans Selye, the founder of stress studies, it frames stress as "adaptive energy" and "the spice of life," arguing that if people can create an appropriate stress level, they can achieve the best results in work, relationships, daily life and health promotion. This philosophy underpins a three-step program: understanding the correct mechanism of stress; seeing oneself through the lens of stress; and acquiring scientific, safe management methods. The company says it has delivered such programs to many companies and individuals over a quarter of a century. Over the decades the business broadened from training into a wider portfolio. Its stated activities include planning, operating and measuring the effectiveness of training and lectures; running seminars and workshops; operating a certification course for stress-management specialists; training in-house corporate trainers; developing self-management web programs; developing and publishing stress-management and relaxation materials; providing individual and workplace stress diagnosis and consulting; offering stress-related counseling; and operating the Stress Management Instructors Association. It also developed a relaxation lesson CD that can be used anytime and anywhere, sold through an online shop, and offers services such as a comprehensive workplace stress diagnosis and a "stress health forecast." The company has formed partnerships with a range of medical and research organizations, including Karaki Psychosomatic Clinic, Ginza Internal Medicine Clinic, Kannoki Clinic, Sensoku Mental Clinic, Mayumi Pediatric Clinic, Sangenjaya Neurology Clinic, the Tokyo Stress Research Foundation, the Educational Environment Research Institute and Ishibashi Clinic. It also created a reconstruction-support program in response to the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, and its website carried messages of sympathy and support for those affected. The company's registered trademarks include stress management, relaxation and stress inventory. Its office is located at 182-3 Shimotsuruma, Yamato, Kanagawa, and in 2019 it updated its contact numbers to a single shared telephone/fax line.
