Custom support

Listing setup
The success of a private lodging business is heavily influenced by its location and layout.(Design and operation can be improved later.) We are particularly familiar with the market in the Osaka area and can help you find and renovate properties, as well as create listings that will maintain their competitiveness over the long term.
Interior design and styling
We will design and coordinate a design that incorporates popular interiors while taking advantage of the characteristics of the existing building (such as fixtures and layouts that cannot be easily changed).If necessary, we will also use an external coordination service that can purchase high-quality furniture and equipment at lower prices than market prices.
Licensing and hosting permits
Especially in the Osaka area, we will collaborate with administrative lawyers and firefighting contractors who are familiar with the special zone private lodging system, and in some cases, we will support the acquisition of permits and licenses while utilizing subsidies.
Setting prices and availability
We will propose the best price plan based on the location and floor plan of the listing, while referring to the prices of similar properties in the area.
Cleaning and maintenance
For properties in Osaka, we can introduce you to a reliable cleaning company.
Listing photography
I can introduce you to a reliable professional photographer.
