Investor Visa Acquisition Support
It is a visa issued to those who start a business in Japan, and is called a business manager (formerly investment management) visa. By making a certain investment in a certain business, a visa of up to 5 years is issued, and spouses, children, and parents (over 70 years old) can also accompany them. Visas are issued for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, depending on the business and investment situation. After 5 years, it is possible to apply for naturalization.

Consulting on real estate purchases and corporate purchases
There are two patterns when a foreign customer acquires a Japanese company.
One is a pattern in which foreigners are appointed as executives of Japanese companies. The other is a pattern in which the directors are local Japanese, and the shares are acquired and effectively controlled.
If a foreign customer has the status of residence of "Spouse or Child of Japanese National, etc.", "Long-term Resident," "Permanent Resident," or "Spouse or Child of Permanent Resident, etc." It's perfectly fine to be active. However, it is difficult for a person with a status of residence with restrictions on activities to become a director, especially a representative director.
If you do not have the necessary status of residence, you will need a business manager visa, and it will cost you a lot of complicated procedures to obtain this visa.
Real estate auction consulting
A “real estate auction” is a compulsory sale of real estate by the power (ex officio) of the court.
Foreign nationals can also participate in the auction.
If the mortgage payment is overdue, the creditor, the financial institution, will file a petition with the court to have the real estate used as collateral. Once the claim is established, the "property auction" begins.
The reason why financial institutions can take real estate as collateral is because they set up a "mortgage". If you set up a mortgage, you will be insured so that if you cannot pay your mortgage, you will be able to recoup the profits from the sale of the property. The mortgage cannot be released until the mortgage is paid off in full.
The sale price at the auction is determined by bidding, but since the price at the time of sale is set at about 60% of the market price, there is a risk that the condominium will be sold at a price that does not match its true value. Also, once a new owner is determined, the debtor will be forcibly evicted and will continue to pay the remaining debt.
You can freely acquire real estate in Japan without having Japanese citizenship.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no other country like this.
