Sakura Internet

Sakura Internet (SAKURA Internet Inc.) is a well-established Japanese internet infrastructure company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Osaka. It operates with a clear mission: transforming people’s ambitions into reality by offering digital infrastructure that empowers both individuals and organizations.

Over the years, Sakura has built a diversified service portfolio. It runs its own data centers, including a highly efficient facility in Ishikari, and offers a range of hosting options — from shared web hosting and VPS to cloud computing and dedicated servers. Their cloud services are particularly noteworthy, supporting advanced workloads such as AI, generative models, and deep learning.

Sakura emphasizes in-house development and operations. This means they design, build, and maintain their systems internally, giving them close control over performance, security, and costs. The company has earned multiple security certifications, including ISMAP, ISMS, SOC2/SOC3, and PCI DSS.

With nearly a thousand employees and a publicly traded status on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Sakura Internet is a major player in Japan’s hosting and cloud industry. Their long-term vision centers on creating a “Japanese-style” digital infrastructure—one that offers stability, flexibility, and social value, while supporting digital transformation across business, education, and public sectors.
