Clients are often interested in the origin of our company name. TOBI comes from the Japanese word "tobiishi". In ancient Japan, tea huts were built in the forest for ceremony, retreat, and contemplation. A stone path led up to the tea hut. This stone path had one millstone placed slightly off center. In so doing, the tobiishi allowed the visitor to see the approaching tea hut from a new perspective. As with the millstone, TOBI shows our clients how to look at real estate from various perspectives to discover their most advantageous solutions.
