Address & location
Check what is actually at the stated location from lawful areas.
Sometimes the only way to answer a question is to actually go there. AFIJ can visit an agreed location, check practical details, take current photos where permitted and report back clearly.
Initial discussion is free. We explain the scope and price before paid work begins.
General discussion and scope clarification are free. Specific Japan-side calls, research, visits, photos or case-specific checks are paid only after the scope is clear.
We agree on a checklist before the visit so the task is measurable and clear.
Check what is actually at the stated location from lawful areas.
Take agreed exterior, street, access or signage photos where allowed.
Check practical road, parking or transport access that is visible locally.
Observe whether a shop, office or facility appears to be operating.
Report practical seasonal or area conditions relevant to the agreed request.
State what was observed, what differed from online information and what could not be checked.
AFIJ does not perform a visit that requires dangerous or unauthorized activity.
An AFIJ On-site Check is practical local observation, not a technical inspection.
Use one service or combine them when a request requires both remote contact and real-world action in Japan.
We keep the boundary clear: practical local support, honest reporting, and no claims beyond what can actually be confirmed.
Not automatically. We review location, travel time, schedule and feasibility first. Nagano is AFIJโs strongest physical service area.
Yes, where photography is lawful and appropriate.
Only when lawful permission and access have been clearly arranged.
No. Some information may not be visible or available. A useful report includes both confirmed and unconfirmed points.
Initial discussion is free. The base work rate is US$30 per 30 minutes, plus any agreed travel time and transportation costs for on-site work.
Send the address or map, what you need checked, the photos you need, your deadline and what decision the result will support.
