Born in Kyoto! 'Time-based Self-Service Car Wash Whitepit' operated by Fujitaka.
In November 2022, Fujitaka Co., Ltd. opened a time-based self-service car wash called "Whitepit Kyoto Fushimi Main Store" in Kyoto. A time-based self-service car wash charges customers based on the time used, allowing unlimited use of the facilities inside. The basic fee for facility use is 800 yen for 30 minutes (900 yen on weekends and holidays), and an additional 100 yen is charged for every 10 minutes beyond the initial 30 minutes. The background to this is the increasing number of "car wash refugees" who want to wash their cars by hand but lack a suitable location. Especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a growing interest in unmanned businesses, and the management of a hand wash car wash that can operate without staff and meets demand is seen as a new unmanned business opportunity, leading to its commercialization. The company has been developing various unmanned businesses to date. For example, centered around the trademarked brand "Whitopia," they have opened over 2,500 coin laundry stores nationwide, and they also propose many other unmanned business ventures to customers, including parking and vending machine businesses.

Company information
Since our company developed the world's first mobile brush-equipped gantry automatic car wash machine, "Car Beauty Technician," in 1963, we have continued to pursue high-value-added car washing, such as the FK-2 Hyper Prism Glass Coat, in search of the shine of a new car. In 1994, we were the first in the industry to develop a "fabric brush," dispelling the image that "car washes cause scratches." Now, we provide a "car-friendly" car wash business to many people. Through our "car wash business proposals," we serve as a bridge between drivers and users, making effective use of parking lots and idle land, and we will continue to assist in providing a "comfortable car life."
