Japan Real Estate Strategist & Owner’s Representative

Bridging Global Capital to Japan’s "Snow & Sun" Assets

Tax-Integrated Acquisition, Renovation, & Management for Private Investors

Buying in Japan is easy. Managing it from overseas is hard

You don’t need another real estate agent showing you floor plans. You need a partner who understands Capital Gains, Renovation Risks, and Tax Compliance.

I act as your Owner’s Representative in Niigata and Okinawa, providing a single point of accountability for your entire asset lifecycle.

Why Us

1. The “Snow & Sun” Strategy Specializing exclusively in Niigata (Yield/Ski) and Okinawa (Legacy/Resort). I live the “Dual Life” strategy I recommend, offering boots-on-the-ground intelligence data sheets can’t show.

2. Tax-Integrated Management Through my in-house partnership with a Tokyo-based Certified Tax Accountant (Zeirishi), we handle your corporate structuring, withholding tax, and compliance from Day 1.

3. Renovation & Value Creation We turn undervalued Kominka and aging resorts into high-performing assets. I manage the architects and carpenters so you don’t have to.

4. Total Professional Ecosystem We coordinate a full network of experts, including Judicial Scriveners (Shiho-Shoshi) for registration, Administrative Scriveners for permits, and Insurance agents. You get a single point of contact for all legal and operational needs.

Strategic Execution Only

I do not offer free tours or generic listings. My practice is for investors ready to build a compliant, profitable footprint in Japan.
