Bridging You to Japan’s Best: Snow & Sun
Moving to Japan is not just about buying a house; it is about finding a place where your soul feels at home.
For over 20 years, I have been a business owner in Niigata, welcoming international professionals and helping them navigate life in Japan. Now, I act as your trusted bridge to the country’s most unique regional assets: the pristine powder snow of Niigata and the tropical longevity of Okinawa.
My Background: A Legacy of Hospitality
Hospitality is in my DNA.
I grew up on Sado Island, where my family operated a long-established hotel founded by my grandfather. Watching my father manage the business with resilience and empathy taught me the true spirit of “Omotenashi” (Japanese hospitality) from a young age.
Growing up in a multicultural environment gave me a unique perspective on connecting different cultures. This background led me to found my own education business in Niigata, where I have spent two decades supporting international residents with their careers, housing, and integration into Japanese society.
Why Work With Me?
1. 20-Year Business Owner I offer the stability and trust of an established business owner, not just a freelance agent. I understand the importance of secure, long-term asset management.
2. Snow & Sun Specialist Uniquely positioned to guide you in two of Japan’s highest-potential regions: the ski resorts of Yuzawa (where I live) and the tropical islands of Okinawa (where I am expanding).
3. Fellow Adventurer & Legal Safety I am currently acquiring Japan’s National Real Estate License (Takken – 2026), ensuring your investment is handled with legal precision. Like you, I am designing my own “Second Life,” so I understand your vision intimately.
Whether you are looking for a winter retreat or a tropical villa, let’s design your ideal lifestyle in Japan together.
Warmly, Ayako 🌸
