― YOUR CHIEF-OF-STAFF FOR ALL GAIJIN NEEDS
"For the things you cannot simply ask ChatGPT to do."
Japan rewards those with a local hanko, an unhurried manner, and a name that opens doors. For everyone else, the country can feel beautifully impenetrable.
We were built for the property owner in Aspen who must answer a tax notice in Setagaya, or the family preparing a Highly Skilled Professional visa file from abroad. Not an errand service — a standing relationship with someone who knows the ward office, the judicial scrivener, and exactly when to bow.
Four standing duties.
登
Domestic Contact of Record
We serve as your registered Japanese contact for property registration — a legal requirement for every foreign owner since 2024.
税
Local Tax Proxy
Receive and settle municipal property tax notices on your behalf, in Japanese, on time, every cycle.
証
Visa & Residency Liaison
Document preparation for investor, business manager and HSP visa pathways.
政
Local Representation
Discreet interpreting and liaison for municipal and administrative negotiations.
We are not a concierge app.
No queue of gig workers. No triage by chatbot. A single point of contact who has read your file, holds your power of attorney where appropriate, and answers your bilingual correspondence within the same business day.
Members capped to preserve attentiveness
Native Japanese principal, raised between Kyoto and San Diego
Working relationships with judicial scriveners (司法書士), tax accountants (税理士) and lawyers
Confidentiality undertaking, to the fullest extent of the law
