Home Inspection / English Page

Home inspection is an examination of the condition of the building.
The report covers the deterioration of the building including walls, leakage and other details of the current state of the building.

Using my 40 years of experience as a builder and architect of traditional houses in Kyoto, I have been doing house inspection for over 20 years. The experience had made me an expert on Japanese buildings and allows me to make detailed surveys and offer comprehensive advice.

Living in Japan, you may come across some unique living conditions such as typhoons, earthquakes, high humidity and termites. I can provide a detailed report on all of these and more so you can buy a home in Japan with peace of mind.

Let me be your first point of contact for any questions you may have about inspection and real estate. I can help you with purchasing land, a new house, and even renovations.
Put my 40 years of experience to work for you!

Assistance in English is available. Please contact us.
