Kodo's activities are managed by the following three separate entities.
Kitamaesen, Kodo's mother company, serves as a base from which Kodo interacts with the rest of the world, sharing the culture unique to Sado Island. The name of this company comes from the "Kitamaebune" or northern-bound ships which once flourished in the Japan sea, carrying people, goods and culture from port to port in Edo-period Japan.
