特長·What you get

Why owners choose us for legal & compliance.

  • Your tax representative

    Non-resident owners can appoint a 納税管理人 to receive and pay tax bills. We set it up and handle the payments.

  • Official mail, handled

    Notices that arrive at the property are scanned, translated, explained — and dealt with before the deadline.

  • The right professional

    Judicial scriveners, tax accountants and licensed agents when the job needs one — coordinated by us, at their cost.

流れ · How it works

From a pile of letters to nothing to worry about.

  1. 01

    Review

    We look at your home's paperwork: tax status, registration, insurance and any notices.

  2. 02

    Plan

    A short list of what needs doing and by when, in plain English.

  3. 03

    Handle

    We file and pay what we can, and bring in a licensed professional where it's needed.

  4. 04

    Keep watch

    Deadlines and new notices are tracked from then on, so nothing lapses.

最初の30日 · Your first 30 days

What happens after you sign up.

No long wait and no guessing. Within a month your home has been seen, photographed and written up, and you've agreed a plan for it.

  1. Day 1

    You say yes

    We confirm your plan in writing and open your owner dashboard.

  2. Days 1–7

    Your keys reach us

    Handed over in person, sent by tracked post, or collected from your agent or the seller. We message you a photo when they arrive.

  3. Week 1–2

    First visit

    A full walk-through with photos: every room, the roof line, the garden, meters and anything that worries us.

  4. Within 5 business days

    Your first report

    The baseline report goes into your dashboard — what's fine, what needs watching, and what needs fixing now.

  5. By day 30

    A plan you've agreed

    Quotes with photos for anything urgent, your visit dates for the year, and bills set up for us to pay if you'd like.

Legal & compliance — questions

Can you act as my tax representative (納税管理人)?
Yes. Japanese law lets a non-resident owner appoint a tax representative to receive and pay tax bills, and many municipalities expect one — we file it and handle the payments.
Do you deal with municipal notices that arrive in Japanese?
Yes. We receive official mail at the property, translate and explain what each notice means, and handle the required filings before deadlines pass.
Are you lawyers?
No — we're property managers. We keep track of what your home needs and handle the paperwork we can; for legal or tax advice, and for registrations, we bring in licensed judicial scriveners, tax accountants and lawyers, and coordinate them for you in English.
