Representative Message
CEO｜Koki Miyashita
Carstay was founded in June 2018 with the desire to be a bridge between my local community and the world. Over the past seven years, we have operated with the mission "Stay Anywhere, Anytime."
Despite facing numerous challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, we have come this far thanks to our users who love Carstay, customers who choose Mobi Lab.'s campervans, talented team members, and supportive shareholders.
