Services
Property Acquisition
At NIHONNEST, we assist clients in sourcing and securing the right property in Japan, based on individual investment goals and budget. With a strong understanding of the local market and access to trusted networks, we identify opportunities that align with your intended use — whether as a personal retreat, a long-term asset, or a future rental. Our role is to help make the acquisition process clear, efficient, and strategically aligned with your needs, so you can invest in Japan with confidence.
Purchase Assistance
Purchasing property in Japan involves navigating legal, linguistic, and procedural complexities. Our team supports you throughout the entire transaction by handling key steps such as documentation, negotiations, and communications with Japanese parties. With a structured process and one-stop assistance, we help ensure that every stage of your purchase is clearly understood and professionally managed, giving you clarity and reassurance from start to finish.
Renovation & Setup
We support clients in getting their property ready for use by coordinating with trusted local professionals when assistance is required. This may include areas such as utility installation, safety compliance, interior furnishing, basic outdoor maintenance, and other related services. Our role is to advise on what is typically needed and help facilitate arrangements where appropriate, ensuring the property is functional and suited to its intended purpose.
Ongoing Management
Ongoing management is a core part of our service at NIHONNEST, providing overseas property owners with reliable, on-the-ground support in Japan. Depending on how the property is used — whether unoccupied, for seasonal stays, or rental purposes — we assist with practical matters such as utility coordination, maintenance arrangements, tenant or guest-related support, and other local services as needed. While homeowners retain full ownership and decision-making authority, our role is to provide dependable assistance within a clearly defined scope, ensuring that your property remains well looked after in your absence. Service fees apply based on the type and level of support required.
