🏙️ 1． Introduction: “Housing” Is the Starting Point for Everything

When beginning life in Japan, one of the first challenges to arise is finding a place to live.
Contracts, guarantors, visa duration, and—above all—trust.
Only when these conditions are met can a person truly feel secure in starting their life.

However, securing stable housing in Japan is by no means easy for foreign residents.
Students face the barrier of guarantors, working professionals encounter the barrier of loans,
and corporations face the barrier of contracts and credit.

Seikohsya supports clients through these challenges,
acting as a partner that connects “daily life, business, and residence” into one continuous journey.

🧳 2．International Students: The First Hurdle — Finding a Room

 

The first thing that confuses newly arrived international students
is the reality that “there are few properties available to foreigners.”
Without a guarantor, with mismatched contract terms, and high initial costs—
many students get stuck at this very first step.

In recent years, overseas screening (pre-move-in application) conducted online before arriving in Japan
has become more common.
However, the required document submission and identity verification processes are complex,
and in many cases, the procedure does not proceed smoothly.

Seikohsya works closely with educational institutions, real estate companies, and guarantor agencies
to create an environment where students can begin their new lives with peace of mind.
We believe that providing housing support is, in essence, supporting learning and personal growth.

🧑‍💼 3．Working Professionals: Permanent Residency and Naturalization Shape “Life Stability”

For foreign professionals working in Japan,
“buying a home” or “applying for a mortgage” represents both a dream and a daunting barrier.

Financial institutions place strong emphasis not only on visa duration and employment type,
but also on whether the applicant holds permanent residency or Japanese nationality.
Even with the same company and the same income,
loan approval results and interest rates can vary significantly depending on visa status.

Seikohsya accurately interprets these systemic factors
and helps clients design long-term life plans that include the possibility of permanent residency or naturalization.
We view housing issues not merely as a matter of “life stability,”
but as “an important first step toward putting down roots in Japan.”

🏢 4．Corporations: The Challenge of Establishing a Base

For foreign entrepreneurs or investors launching companies in Japan,
securing commercial space, offices, or development sites is far from easy.
Newly established corporations often lack sufficient credit history,
and it is common for the representative to be asked to provide a personal guarantee.

Through its professional network,
Seikohsya offers comprehensive consultation on business management visas, company registration, property selection, and administrative procedures—
providing an integrated approach that considers the entire process.
Building a business base is, in many ways, the process of building one’s dream foundation.

🏠 5．The Voyage Connecting Housing, Residency, and Permanence

Whether renting or buying a home,
or applying for permanent residency or naturalization,
all of these are interconnected stages within the single voyage of “living in Japan.”

Seikohsya collaborates with professionals in administrative law, real estate, education, and finance
to help foreign residents create an environment where they can live, work, and manage businesses with confidence.

We value the journey of every individual we meet
and aim to chart future paths together—toward a brighter horizon.
