Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Can I register a business without a physical presence in Japan?

A: Yes, but you will need a local registered address and a resident representative. We can assist with both.

Q2: Can I use my own home address in Japan for registration?

A: Yes, if it meets legal and zoning requirements. We can help assess this, especially for home-based businesses in residential areas.

Q3: Is this service limited to Izu?

A: Our primary base is Ito City, with access to numerous properties suitable for office registration in the northern Izu Peninsula, including Numazu, Mishima and areas near Mt. Fuji.
