Services | Visa Support, Naturalization, Contracts & Real Estate

Drawing on experience in the international division of a real estate company specializing in rentals and sales for foreign residents and expertise as a Gyoseishoshi and Mansion Management Consultant, we focus on the three areas below. Not sure if we cover your situation? Get in touch anyway.

Naturalization & PR

Naturalization Support

Obtaining Japanese citizenship (naturalization) requires submitting many documents to the Legal Affairs Bureau. We support you with the motive statement, organizing your living situation, and more, tailored to your circumstances. English explanations are available, so foreign applicants can understand the process as they prepare.

Gathering and preparing documents required for naturalization applications
Support drafting the motive statement, resume, and related documents
Consultation on permanent residence (PR) applications
Pre-checking eligibility requirements (period of residence, means of livelihood, etc.)
English-language hearings and document explanations (Chinese, Vietnamese, Nepali & Korean available via interpreter)

For: Foreign residents considering Japanese citizenship or permanent residence

What to keep in mind

From first consultation to approval, naturalization applications typically take about 10 months to a year — it isn't a one-off procedure. We recommend reaching out early, including to confirm you meet the requirements. See our Process page for more on how that timeline breaks down.

Real Estate & Condominium Management

Real Estate Consultation

Drawing on Mansion Management Consultant expertise and experience in the international division of a real estate company specializing in rentals and sales for foreign residents, we advise on lease management, association operations, and condominium ownership matters. Matters requiring a real estate brokerage license (renting or buying property) are outside gyoseishoshi practice.

Please note: Real estate brokerage (such as arranging a lease or a sale) is not gyoseishoshi work. It is handled by Wonder Life, the real estate company that is our representative's workplace (not his own company), under its real estate brokerage license. For those looking to rent or buy, we introduce you to Wonder Life, which has a track record helping foreign clients find housing.

Room hunting & property purchase (introduction to the real estate company that is our representative's workplace)
Consultation on lease agreements and property management contracts
Consultation on condominium management association operations & bylaws
Basic consultation on condominium ownership law
Document preparation support related to real estate sales

For: Property owners, room hunters and property buyers, management associations

What to keep in mind

For matters involving registration or tax that go beyond gyoseishoshi practice, we'll help organize your situation and connect you with the right specialist.
