Since the 1960s, Esso and Mobil stations in Japan had been run by Tōnen General Sekiyu, which had a controlling stake owned by ExxonMobil. In 2012, the company bought out much of ExxonMobil's stake, reducing it to a 22% minority. In 2016, ExxonMobil sold the remainder of its stake.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/01/29/exxon-mobil-to-sell-its-japanese-arm-for-3-9-billion/|title=Exxon Mobil to Sell Its Japanese Arm for $3.9 Billion|last=Merced|first=Michael J. de la|date=January 29, 2012|website=The New York Times|access-date=December 4, 2018|archive-date=December 5, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181205003724/https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/01/29/exxon-mobil-to-sell-its-japanese-arm-for-3-9-billion/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2017, the company announced that it would merge with JX Group to form [[JXTG Holdings]], with its petroleum business operating as [[JXTG Nippon Oil & Energy]]. Following the merger, it was announced that both the Esso and Mobil brands would be phased out by 2020, and replaced by the [[Eneos]] EneJet banner.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Gas-station-merger-will-end-Esso-and-Mobil-s-long-run-in-Japan|title=Gas station merger will end Esso and Mobil's long run in Japan|website=Nikkei Asian Review|access-date=2018-12-04|archive-date=2018-12-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181205003818/https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Gas-station-merger-will-end-Esso-and-Mobil-s-long-run-in-Japan|url-status=live}}</ref>
