What does “gain-Y” come from?

gain-Y (pronounced “gai-ni”) comes from the word gaini (がいに) in the local Sanuki dialect. In Kagawa, gaini means something amazing. gain-Y combines the gaini from Sanuki dialect with gain from English. The Y on the end represents our mission to make people happy- “wai wai” in Japanese.
※Sanuki dialect uses gaina and gaini, but gain-Y is our original spelling.

Coworking Space

Coworking means working together, not just as employees. Ideas, information and technology are combined and shared to create synergistic results in a new working style.
Co-working spaces became popular around 2006 among internet-related businesses in the San Francisco area; and 2010 brought the first co-working space in Japan.Most co-working spaces are in the Tokyo area, but gain-Y is the first in Kagawa
