How to Work Together

Scenario 1: "I am thinking about buying in Japan — where do I start?"

Scenario 2: "I want to find the right property in Niigata or Okinawa."

→ Following our consultation, we move to Property Evaluation & Purchase Support (¥200,000) to find and vet the right asset.

Scenario 3: "I found a property online — can you visit it for me?"

→ Book a Site Visit (¥33,000–¥55,000). I inspect, photograph, and report back within 3 business days.
