Location Scout Quick Check – 30-Minute Area-Fit Consultation
30-minute online session
Why a Short Check Can Save Big Headaches
- Mismatch = money lost: Choosing an area that limits Airbnb to 60 nights can halve projected returns.
- Family logistics: A dream seaside town feels less dreamy if the only nursery (hoikuen) has a two-year wait list.
- Legal fine print: Overseas owners now need a registered domestic contact for minpaku licences and many city-hall processes—confirm options before you buy.
Thirty minutes with an expert prevents months of costly trial-and-error.
Who Books This 30-Minute Session?
- Buyers who’ve shortlisted one to three neighbourhoods but need clarity on childcare, transport, or minpaku rules
- Investors comparing two potential Airbnb towns and wanting a quick occupancy-and-regulation scan
- Remote workers tied to an employer’s commute radius, yet huntingfor lower living costs
What We Cover in Half an Hour
- Rapid profile refresh: Household size, work style, visa status, budget, car/no-car
- Area snapshot: Live-map walk-through—commute times, international schools, hospital density, daily-life amenities
- Minpaku / rental regs: Nightly-rental caps, hotel-licence alternatives, domestic-contact needs, 365-day “Special Zones”
- Cost & infrastructure pulse: Median rents or prices, property-tax band, internet speeds, disaster-risk overlays
- Instant recommendations: “Area A fits your Airbnb goal but needs a local manager; Area B allows 365-day rentals yet commands higher entry prices.”
Written Recap (24 h)
- Bullet-point email of all advice
- Links to city-hall English pages and other key resources
- Next-step checklists for permits, school visits, or licence conversion
