What is M SIX?

ー A landmark you can visit on a day trip from Tokyo


Just 10 minutes by bus from Yamaguchi Ube Airport.

A landmark building in Ube’s central district.

With a direct flight from Haneda (about 90 minutes), it’s effectively within about two hours one-way from central Tokyo.

This makes day-trip shoots and short “shooting retreats” realistic—and helps attract clients and creators from Tokyo.

ー Featured on a high-rating local TV program


M SIX was featured on the Yamaguchi TV information program “Shūmatsu Chigumaya Kazoku” (tys TV Yamaguchi, Jan 2022).

Locally, it is widely recognized as “the castle-like building.”

This recognition helps generate fast awareness when opening an office or hosting events, reducing the marketing cost for recruitment, PR, and attendance.

ー 731㎡. Exceptional depth created by two connected wings


The defining feature of this property is its unique structure: two connected wings of different heights (North Wing and South Wing).

This creates a rich, layered spatial composition that a typical building cannot replicate—high-ceiling studio areas, walkable/loop-like office circulation, two rooftop zones, and small “hideaway” rooms.

In other words, it contains multiple elements that are difficult to assemble in one building in major city centers.

    •    Total floor area: 731.21㎡

    •    Structure: Reinforced concrete (RC)

    •    Scale: North Wing (7 floors) + South Wing (3 floors, incl. rooftop)

    •    History: Built Jan 1988 / Full renovation substantially completed Feb 2020

    •    High-end fixtures and selected movable assets (furniture/lighting) can be transferred by agreement


ー A multi-purpose hub for Work / Live / Play

A large-scale renovation in 2020 updated the building to support multiple uses—enabling diverse monetization paths within one asset.

The owner company has operated its headquarters here, using the building for:

    •    Office: office work

    •    Studio: photo studio and event space

    •    Logistics: e-commerce storage and shipping base

    •    Residence: stays and workations


Because the use is not fixed to a single purpose, operations can be adjusted to match market demand—this flexibility is a core strength as an asset.

Why Ube?

ー Tokyo ⇄ Ube is about 90 minutes, with frequent flights (up to 10 round trips/day)

Access is smooth: from the airport arrival lobby, you can reach security quickly without long corridors or heavy queues—one advantage of a regional airport.

The flight time between Haneda and Yamaguchi Ube is about 90 minutes, and the number of daily flights is another benefit.

ー The “other-world” value of workation


Step away from the noise and dense schedules of major cities.

Ube makes it easier to slow the pace and focus deeply on work.

This “slight sense of being elsewhere” often improves creative work—planning, editing, and shooting—by helping reset thinking and decision quality.

ー A format that is hard to make work in major city centers

In major city centers, trying to combine “studio × office × storage × lodging” tends to inflate costs—due to expensive land, tighter zoning/operational constraints, and stricter neighborhood considerations.

M SIX, located in a commercial area of a regional city with calmer land costs, can achieve higher design freedom at lower cost.

It can also adapt monetization to changing demand—another key advantage.

ー Easier to collaborate with the city and community


Ube is actively revitalizing its central district. Around M SIX, markets and events are common, and the area has an active dining scene.

By opening the first floor or terrace, the building can function as a “hub” for local connection and community engagement.

In regional cities, the building’s location and distinctive identity can become a meaningful anchor—making collaboration with the city and local community easier.

ー City policies and subsidy programs that support tenant demand


Ube City promotes its Central City Revitalization Plan (Phase 2) and offers subsidy programs for business and building use within the central district, including around M SIX.

This can help tenants reduce initial and rent burden. For owners, that means a stronger environment for leasing stability and longer retention.

Strategy & Monetization

M SIX is designed to switch monetization paths based on demand, rather than fixing the building to a single use.

Example operating plans

Plan A | Office + Residence

Use floors 1–3 for office/storage, and floors 4–5 for residence/stays.

Run “shoot / work / store / stay” under one roof to reduce outsourcing and travel costs.


Plan B | Tenant + Rental Operation

Lease South Wing 1F as a tenant for stable rent.

Operate the North Wing as rentable spaces (studio, workshops, etc.) to pursue upside.


Plan C | Split Leasing

Lease South Wing 1F / 2F / 3F and North Wing 4–5F separately by use.

Diversify vacancy risk and build multiple income pillars.
