You do not need another agent showing you floor plans.
You need a trusted partner who understands cross-border tax, renovation risks, and regulatory compliance — and who will manage them on your behalf.
I act as your Owner's Representative in Niigata and Okinawa. One point of contact. Full accountability. Plain English.

Why Clients Choose Me
01
The "Snow & Sun" Focus
I work exclusively in Niigata (ski and yield assets) and Okinawa (resort and legacy assets). I live the dual-life approach I recommend. This gives you local intelligence that data sheets cannot show.
02
Tax-Integrated Management
Through my partnership with a Tokyo-based Certified Tax Accountant (Zeirishi), we handle your corporate structuring, withholding tax, and compliance from Day 1.
03
Renovation & Value Creation
We turn undervalued Kominka and aging resorts into high-performing assets. I manage the architects and builders so you do not have to.
04
Total Professional Network
We coordinate Judicial Scriveners for registration, Administrative Scriveners for permits, and Insurance agents. You get a single point of contact for all legal and operational needs.
Niigata — The Snow
The Aspen of Asia
Undervalued ski assets. Kominka heritage home restoration. High-yield hospitality properties near Japan's deepest snow.
Okinawa — The Sun
The Blue Zone
Luxury resort villas. Legacy coastal properties. Long-term capital appreciation in one of the world's most desirable island chains.
I Work With Serious Investors Only
I do not offer free tours or generic listings. My practice is for investors ready to build a compliant, profitable footprint in Japan.
