English-Speaking Property Management in Nagano

Property management in Nagano — FAQ

My Hakuba chalet is empty from spring to late autumn. What does it need in the green season?

Summer is when mould, insects and mice move into closed-up chalets, and when roof and deck repairs are easiest to schedule. We air the house, run water, clear vegetation around the foundations, and get any snow-damage repairs quoted well before the next winter.

Our family home is near the Chikuma River. How do you handle the flood risk?

Typhoon Hagibis in 2019 caused severe flooding along the Chikuma in the Nagano City area, so it is worth taking seriously. We check your address on the municipal hazard map, keep drainage clear, and inspect the house and its grounds after heavy rain warnings.

We hear about bears and monkeys in rural Nagano. Will wildlife damage an empty house?

Animals do take advantage of quiet houses, from mice in the walls to monkeys raiding gardens and storehouses. We look for droppings, gnawing and broken screens on each visit, keep doors and vents secured, and arrange pest control when it is needed.

How much does property management in Nagano 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 Nagano property's type, age, and condition. Rental management is 5% of rent, and renovation is quoted separately.
