Bridging the Gaps, Managing the Risks
We understand that investing in Japanese real estate structures such as TMKs and GK/TKs involves complex cross-border considerations. Our role is to simplify this process and manage the hidden risks, so you can focus on returns.
●Knowledge Gap – between local tax rules and investor understanding
●Standards Gap – between Japanese GAAP and global accounting practices
●Communication Gap – between English-speaking investors and non-English-speaking service providers
We help overseas investors navigate these gaps by providing gatekeeper service in terms of accounting and taxation in Japan, while also supporting smooth communication with local service vendors. Reducing these risks is not just support—it’s strategic risk management.

(*) TMKs and GK/TK structures are commonly referred to as pass-through entities.

As not all accounting firms are familiar with these structures, guidance/ support from experienced professionals is strongly recommended.
