1. What kind of company is SCREEN Holdings?

SCREEN Holdings is the group’s holding and management company, headquartered in Kamigyo Ward. Semiconductor production equipment and other businesses are operated by group companies.

2. From Kamigyo Ward to global semiconductor investment

The headquarters sit near the Imperial Palace and Nishijin in a distinctly Kyoto setting, while the business focus is advanced semiconductors. That contrast between historic location and leading-edge industry is part of SCREEN’s character.

6. Kuramaguchi or Imadegawa gives a central-Kyoto lifestyle

For headquarters work, consider Kuramaguchi, Imadegawa and Horikawa. Some locations are a little far from subway stations, so factor bicycles and buses into the housing search.

About work locations: The housing suggestions here assume an assignment to the Kyoto headquarters. Actual work locations may be outside Kyoto depending on job type, hiring track, group company, or transfer. Always confirm the employer’s current recruiting and assignment conditions before joining.

7. Who this may suit

For people interested in semiconductors and equipment development who want to stay based in Kyoto while working in advanced manufacturing.
