Over 45 Years of Building Homes

Founded in Japan over 45 years ago, and bringing our innovation to the U.S. more than 15 years ago, we’ve been dedicated to crafting homes that blend quality, comfort, and forward-thinking design across generations.

200,000+ Homes Built

200,000+ homes in Japan and 900+ homes in the Pacific Northwest.

Japanese Innovation, Tailored for American Living

Blending Japanese craftsmanship with modern American living, our homes feature refined details, energy-smart systems, and space-maximizing innovations tailored to the Pacific Northwest lifestyle.

Who We Are

The Pacific Northwest understands what we do at Ichijo USA, which is why our expansion here is such a natural fit. The desire for modern design, art, cutting-edge technology and environmental respect meshes perfectly with our company values and the way we build our homes. We are excited to now be able to share our years of experience, technology, and craftsmanship with you.

Our technology feels different. It’s not what you would expect when you hear the words cutting edge. We’re not looking to add more touchscreens to your life. We dig deeper to create homes that embrace form and function with technology at the core. It’s technology that naturally enhances your home and life.

Since our founding, Ichijo has focused on using natural materials and providing a healthy living environment for our customers. At many of our communities you can see this in our use of solar energy, high quality construction with rain screens, additional insulation and sustainable building practices. In short, we design our homes for maximum efficiency without sacrificing comfort and livability.

Being one of the largest builders in Japan has its benefits. With over 100,000 homes built so far we’ve learned if we’re not able to find the exact materials we need, we don’t have to compromise, we make them. Our cabinets, doors and more are all produced in our factories in The Philippines. This means we control the building process from day one. These components are all fabricated with care, to an exceptional level of quality, and the entire package is delivered direct to your home site.

Ichijo means One, or first, road, and that is how we build. Our experience with technology and focus on craftsmanship creates sustainable homes that are energy efficient and artfully constructed. One at a time. It’s not just the next thing, it’s the right thing.Looking to buy a new home? Ichijo is building new homes in Washington State and Oregon.

We design and build our homes to fit each individual lot, neighborhood, and the homeowner’s tastes, all while incorporating the following values & practices:

1. Our goal is to apply innovative processes to residential building technologies and employ environmentally friendly production methods throughout the home building process. To do so we utilize certified quality control and continuous improvement systems to produce the most technologically advanced, environmentally conscious, and healthy homes for our families.

2. The process for designing and building each home shall be clear and without surprises. While a complex endeavor, we will use our experience to make the process enjoyable and rewarding for both our workers and our clients, with simple, straight-forward documents, continuous communication, and full explanations of the choices and opportunities available for each home.

3. We wish for each customer to be as happy as the last. The home will be the most important example of the quality of our efforts and one that each customer will be proud to share with their families and friends.

4. Every home will exhibit a level of quality and durability that has not been found in traditionally-built homes before, and we will always strive to make each home better than the last, incorporating new methods and technologies as they become available.

5. Quality materials and superb craftsmanship are the foundation of sustainable and long lasting structures, and are key to every Ichijo home. The pride of Ichijo employees and our partner suppliers should be evident in each Ichijo home.

I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with Ichijo Home Builders. Throughout my initial interaction to the final walkthrough, their commitment to quality and craftsmanship was evident. The fusion of traditional Japanese design principles with modern American comforts created a truly unique and inviting home for my family. The attention to detail, superior materials, and efficient construction process exceeded my expectations. The team’s professionalism, transparency, and unwavering dedication ensured a smooth and stress-free building journey. We own more than one home built by Ichijo. I wholeheartedly recommend Ichijo Home Builders for their outstanding workmanship and personalized service.

Sarang Fegde and Yogini Joshi

We absolutely love our Ichijo house! More than that, we appreciate all of the time and effort they put into working with us. We recently purchased the Harrison Court home from it’s previous owners, as we were drawn to it’s exceptional quality, energy-saving construction, and superior design. It is clear the Ichijo teams puts thought into their work and it makes us feel good knowing we can reduce our environmental impact by living in a green home. When we moved in, the house needed some repairs on the windows and siding. We brought up some questions and concerns with the Ichijo team and they went above and beyond our expectations to get things fixed. They were responsive, communicative, professional, thorough, and extremely generous with their time and resources. My husband and I feel very thankful to have purchased a home built by builders who stand by their quality of work, especially over time.

This has been an incredible process. We feel so lucky to have the home that we do and to be in here enjoying it. We know that there aren’t a lot of folks, a lot of friends that have had this opportunity. It’s something that we are so thankful for. We had such a great experience working with Ichijo.
