English-Speaking Property Management in Oita

Property management in Oita — FAQ

Wild boar keep digging up the garden at our Kunisaki farmhouse. What can be done?

Boar and deer are a common problem for rural homes in Oita, especially where houses sit next to woodland. We report damage with photos and can arrange fencing or repairs to stone walls, and point you to the municipality, which often handles wildlife control.

Do homes in the Kuju highlands need winter preparation?

Yes. The highlands around Kuju get much colder than the coast, and pipes in an empty house can freeze. We drain or protect the water system before winter and check for leaks after cold snaps.

Can I renovate the front of an old townhouse in Usuki or Taketa?

Some historic streets have local guidelines on facades, colours and materials, and these vary by town. We check with the municipality before any work, collect quotes from craftsmen experienced with older buildings, and send them to you for approval.

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