・KAJI Tax Accountant Corporation Group/ Yanagi Judicial Scrivener Comprehensive Legal Office

Real estate transactions involve contracts filled with legal and real estate terminology, making them difficult to understand even for Japanese individuals. This is even more challenging for foreigners due to language and cultural differences.

Our team ensures that foreigners in Japan do not get entangled in “real estate troubles”. With a deep understanding of the real estate industry and led by Yanagimoto, our representative who is both an administrative and judicial scrivener (profile available here), we offer expert assistance to proactively prevent issues and ensure a stress-free life.

Furthermore, we provide support to prevent misunderstandings that frequently arise in rental disputes involving foreigners. These often stem from discrepancies between what the tenant (foreigner) “didn’t know” and what the landlord (Japanese) “assumed they knew”. For those foreigners who seek visa application services from our office, we also offer assistance in finding housing. This is facilitated by our partnerships and network with real estate agencies and property management companies.
