Need a Property or Building Checked in Japan?
If you are overseas and need practical information about a property or building in Japan, AFIJ can contact local companies, check surrounding conditions, take agreed current photos and report what can actually be confirmed.
Initial discussion is free. We explain the scope and price before paid work begins.
CLEAR PRICING
Ask first. We quote before we check.
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.

FAQ
Common questions.
We keep the boundary clear: practical local support, honest reporting, and no claims beyond what can actually be confirmed.
Can you inspect a property for me?
AFIJ can perform a practical local check such as photos, visible observations, access and local confirmation. This is not automatically a licensed technical inspection.
Can you enter the property?
Only when lawful permission and access are clearly arranged.
Can you tell me whether I should buy it?
We provide practical observations and confirmed information, not formal investment advice, appraisal or legal due diligence.
Can you check properties outside Nagano?
Phone and information checks can often be handled more broadly. Physical visits depend on distance, travel time and feasibility. Nagano is our strongest local area.
How much does it cost?
Initial discussion is free. The basic rate is US$30 per 30 minutes. On-site property work is quoted in advance.
