Local help, at each
stage of your project.
Work directly with a small team based in Kyoto. Start with the support you need; we’ll discuss your plans and agree the scope and fees before work begins.
Find the right home
Tell us your budget, preferred area, travel needs and how you intend to use the house. We’ll help refine your brief and prepare a carefully selected shortlist.
- Neighbourhood and transport considerations
- A tailored selection of properties
- Questions to explore with local agents
See it for yourself
When you can’t be in Kyoto, a video walkthrough gives you a closer view of a property. We can also discuss a live viewing at a suitable time in Japan.
- Recorded or live video viewings
- Attention to the spaces and details that matter to you
- Follow-up questions for the agent or relevant professional
Coordinate the purchase
We help coordinate conversations and meetings with the real estate company, from discussing the property to arranging the practical steps around purchase and key collection.
The licensed estate agent handles the transaction and negotiations. The judicial scrivener and other relevant professionals handle their specialist advice and formal procedures; Kyoto House helps you communicate and coordinate with them.
Plan your renovation
Work with us and the local architect to develop a home around your priorities. We help you consider Japanese layouts, everyday comfort, materials and the details that make the space your own.
- Design discussions with the architect
- Coordination with local builders and tradespeople
- Support with finishes, furniture and project visits
Before work begins, we’ll agree how progress updates, design decisions and any additional costs should be reviewed and approved.
A conversation,
then a clear plan.
Share what you’re hoping to do, your approximate budget and your timing. We’ll discuss where we can help and what the next step would involve.
