Consultation and Property Review
We begin by understanding your goals, property type, budget, and target area in Japan.
We also explain whether your plan is more suitable for Minpaku, Ryokan, or another short-term rental model.

Revenue Plan and Cost Estimate
We prepare a revenue simulation and estimate the initial setup cost.
Based on the property location and condition, we propose a practical operating plan for foreign owners.

Agreement and Project Setup
After you approve the plan, we finalize the contract.
Full-service management preparations will begin.

Licensing, Setup, and OTA Listing
We support license application, interior setup, and OTA listing preparation.
Your property can then be prepared for launch on platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com.

Launch and Ongoing Operations
Once preparations are complete, marketing and operations begin in about 1–2 weeks.
Our team will provide full support to ensure a smooth and profitable start—even for first-time hosts.
