Property Management
When you can't be in Fukuoka, we handle day-to-day matters for your rental property or holiday home within the agreed scope, and report back regularly.
Who this is for
Rental property owners
Need help with tenant finding, move-ins, rent, tenant contact, and property issues.
Holiday and second-home owners
Rarely in Fukuoka and need regular checks on the property.
Owners overseas
Need a Japan-based contact for day-to-day property matters.
Two kinds of management
Rental property and homes that are rarely occupied need different work, so we scope them separately.
Second-home management
For holiday homes and other property you don't live in regularly.
- Periodic checks at the agreed frequency
- Basic tasks you have entrusted to us
- Acting as your tax agent for fixed asset tax and city planning tax: receiving the tax notices and paying on your behalf (tax filing and tax advice are not included)

Mainly the annual fixed asset tax and city planning tax; apartments also have monthly management and repair-reserve fees, plus fire insurance renewal. If you rent the property out, the rental income must be declared for tax.
Owners living overseas generally need to appoint a tax agent (nozei kanrinin) to receive tax notices and pay. We can act as tax agent for fixed asset tax and city planning tax.
I live overseas. How does the rent reach me?
Depending on the agreement, we or the guarantee company collect the rent, deduct the agreed fees and send the balance to you in the agreed way. The receiving account and payment timing are confirmed before the management contract is signed. Transfers to an overseas account incur international transfer fees, so how these are handled is agreed case by case.
