Yuko helped us so much from step 1 by explaining intricacies of Japanese real estate, connecting us with locals in Japan to help us on our search, and ensuring we had everything we needed up to and even after making a purchase! She kept our info organized in both English and Japanese using Google Docs/Sheets and always replied quickly when we had questions or was happy to get on a call. We are so pleased to have found exactly what we wanted in our price range AND in a great location. Thank you!

Yuko of Akiya Locations has been phenomenal to work with at every step along our home-buying journey, identifying potential pitfalls and guiding us through the process, including steps we weren't even aware were essential to successfully completing the home-buying process.We knew we wanted to buy a home in Japan, and had done a lot of research into the parameters and location of the house we wanted beforehand, which made the whole experience so much easier on both of our ends. (She will help you even if you haven't, though!)She helped us find a realtor in Japan, served as a translator, set up and guided us through meetings with the various scriveners and intermediaries, and encouraged us when we ran into obstacles.Even now, after the sale is complete, she is continuing to help us manage and maintain the property as necessary while we are remote. I would highly recommend Yuko and Akiya Locations for anyone who wants to buy a home in Japan, either for living or property management purposes. She'll lead you in the right direction!

Yuko provided exceptional support during our property search in Osaka. As foreign buyers, we found her explanation of the purchasing process to be both clear and comprehensive. She set very realistic expectations from the initial planning stages through to the final purchase and post-closing steps. Her guidance made a complex international transaction feel straightforward and manageable. We'd highly recommend Akiya Locations to anyone looking to purchase a property in Japan, especially in the Kansai region.
