3Demolition of Fukui Castle (1883)Bunjiro Tobishima founded Tobishima-gumi, which was contracted to demolish Fukui Castle as its first job.1905Contracted to construct Kyoto Electric’s Nakao power plant (Fukui Prefecture) as its first hydroelectric power plant project.Echizen Electric Railway (1915)Construction of Nakao power plant was completed, and the supply of power began, enabling plans for construction of the Echizen Electric Railway to commence. Undertook the construction work between Fukui and Ohno.1916Tobishima-gumi Corporation (representative director; Bunkichi Tobishima) founded with 100,000 yen in capital, with headquarters located in Toyoshimanaka-cho, Fukui City.Bunkichi Tobishima, the founder instrumental to the subsequent success of Tobishima-gumi, was born in 1876 as the first son of Bunjiro Tobishima. At 13, he became a key assistant to his father as a stone mason and gradually honed his skills. For a construction project in 1901, at a time when oxcarts were commonly used to transport earth and sand, he introduced handcarts, the latest invention at the time. This innovation reduced costs, halved construction times, and won high acclaim.Work on building hydroelectric power stations added to his reputation. A swelling tide of hydroelectric power station construction boosted the Company to national prominence and earned it the reputation as a leading company in water-related facility construction and civil engineering.Bunkichi Tobishima’s word set forth the following ideal: To benefit oneself, one must first make sacrifices that benefit others. Coupled with innovations, these sacrifices will be duly rewarded. These words may remind us of a more modern phrase: The customer’s needs come first. His integrity and strong sense of responsibility for work won him an outstanding reputation and the trust of those who requested the services of his company. The company won a steady stream of orders to build electric power stations across the country.His character and charisma attracted many capable partners, including Santaro Kumagai (founder of Kumagai Gumi) and Matabei Maeda (founder of Maeda Corporation), and generated the driving force behind Tobishima-gumi. TOBISHIMA’s foundations lie in the integrity, sincerity, and good faith of these forerunners, qualities since handed down from generation to generation.Haneda Airfield (1931)Contracted to execute reclamation work for Tokyo Airfield, Japan’s first national airfield for aircraft on a 53-ha site. The airfield featured one runway measuring 300 meters in length and 15 meters in width.1940Headquarters moved from Fukui City to Kudan, Kojimachi Ward, Tokyo.1946Tobishima-gumi applied for rehabilitation under the Corporate Reorganization Law and was dissolved.Seikan Tunnel (1982)This 53.8 km railway tunnel runs below the Tsugaru Strait, connecting Honshu (the Japanese mainland) and Hokkaido. Tobishima completed the 5.5 km Sanyoushi section on the Honshu side. Fraught with heavy technical challenges and constant flooding hazards, this project had significant consequences for integrating the nation and was selected as one of the 20 Selections of Japan’s 20th Century Heritage.Kanagawa Science Park: KSP (1989)Developed by Kanagawa Prefecture, Kawasaki City, and TOBISHIMA, this collection of facilities serves as an international center where R&D companies are incubated and developed, gather, and interact, to formulate creative R&D movements. The project was recognized by various honors, including the BCS Special Prize and the Prize of the Society of Heating, Air-Conditioning, and Sanitary Engineers of Japan.IntroductionThe foundations of the TOBISHIMA Group date back to 1883, when it was contracted for the demolition of Fukui Castle. Since then, we’ve continued to grow and respond to social needs.Drawing on the experience and capabilities accumulated over the past 140 years, TOBISHIMA will continue to evolve and boldly advance to create new value.(1920-1959)Bunkichi Tobishima FounderThe 140-year History of TOBISHIMAFounding Period (1883-1919)Growth PeriodDevelopment Period(1960-1990)
