Welcome to your Kyoto chapter
You didn’t just buy a house. So… what exactly did you buy?
A place to live?

Language Support
We’re happy to support foreign residents in Kyoto, Joyo and nearby areas but only in English.
Our assistant speaks English and Japanese, but our craftsmen speak only Japanese. So, for smooth communication and accurate work, we only accept clients who can communicate in English.
We’re sorry, but we do not support any other languages. Thank you for your understanding.
Where Experience Meets Intention
We are nothing more than a small, family-run construction firm in a quiet town. We don’t have the flashiness of big corporations. We’re not widely known. But what we do have is a legacy – over 80 years of knowledge passed down from our grandfather’s generation, and hands-on experience with every kind of property imaginable. We don’t just build houses. We build meaning. By balancing your dreams, your property, and your budget, we aim to create something truly valuable for your life.
For the 0.0000000000000001%
Because even the smallest possibility is worth building for. We are deeply grateful for this encounter with you. If you’re unsure about your home, your wishes and plans are always welcome here. This connection, born from a miracle-like probability is something we hope to turn into reality.
