NTT WEST Corporation (formerly Nippon Telegraph and Telephone West Corporation)

NTT WEST is the NTT Group's regional telecommunications operator responsible for communications infrastructure in western Japan, covering 30 prefectures west of and including Toyama, Gifu, and Shizuoka. Its core business is the construction, operation, and maintenance of fixed-line services such as the fiber-optic broadband service FLET'S Hikari and the optical IP phone service Hikari Denwa, while it also supports digitalization at regional companies and local governments through ICT solutions consulting. Employees should be prepared for a work environment with a strong regional and public-service character and a relatively steady pace, rather than the rapid-innovation culture of a mobile internet company.
