What I Offer
Services
From renovation direction to interior coordination and property purchase support — everything you need to build your life in Hokkaido, in one place.
Renovation & Reform Direction
Renovating in Japan as a foreign buyer can be overwhelming — unfamiliar contractors, language barriers, local regulations, and the logistics of managing it all from overseas. I step in as your local director: sourcing and vetting contractors, communicating your brief in Japanese, attending site visits, and keeping you fully informed in English at every stage.
- Contractor sourcing, vetting & negotiation
- On-site supervision & bilingual reporting
- Budget tracking & timeline management
- Remote-friendly — regular photo & video updates
Interior Coordination
Great interiors don't happen by accident. They start with a clear vision, the right materials, and someone who knows how to pull it all together. I work with you to develop a concept rooted in yō no bi — functional beauty — and translate it into a space that is genuinely beautiful to live in, not just to look at.
- Concept development & mood boarding
- Furniture, material & lighting selection
- Spatial planning & styling
- Online or on-site consultations available
Property Purchase Support
Buying property in Japan as a non-resident is a process with many moving parts — and most of them happen in Japanese. I help you clarify your criteria, research suitable properties, coordinate viewings on your behalf, and prepare a clear picture of post-purchase renovation potential.
- Property criteria & area research
- Viewing attendance & local condition reports
- Renovation potential assessment
- Seamless handoff to renovation & interior planning
