English-Speaking Property Management in Kagawa

Property management in Kagawa — FAQ

Could our Naoshima or Teshima house host guests during the Setouchi Triennale?

The Triennale is held every three years and brings many visitors to the islands. Taking paying guests requires either registration under the Private Lodging Business Act or a lodging licence, with fire-safety requirements to meet. We can help you check the rules with the town and prepare the house, but the registration itself is your decision and responsibility.

There is an irrigation pond (ため池) behind our farmhouse. Is that a risk?

Kagawa has a very large number of irrigation ponds, and many municipalities publish hazard maps showing where water would go if a pond's bank failed. We check whether your house falls in such an area and look at the drainage around it after heavy rain. Maintenance of the pond itself is usually handled by the local farmers' group or the town.

Our Shodoshima house has olive trees. Can you look after them?

Yes. Olive trees need pruning and watching for pests such as the olive weevil, which bores into the trunk. We arrange a local gardener for regular care and send you photos of the trees with each report. Any larger work is quoted first.

How much does property management in Kagawa cost?

Plans run from ¥14,000 to ¥42,000 per month depending on how often we visit — quarterly, every other month, or monthly. The right cadence depends on your Kagawa property's type, age, and condition. Rental management is 5% of rent, and renovation is quoted separately.
