💼 Personal
Tax Support (e.g., Income Tax Filing)
For foreign nationals living and working in Japan, income tax filing and other tax procedures can be confusing and difficult to navigate — especially when handled in Japanese. Those who earn side income, work as freelancers, or have real estate or investment income are generally required to file their taxes independently, unlike regular salaried employees.
Many individuals express concerns such as:
“I don’t know what documents I need,”
“I’m afraid of making mistakes and being penalized,”
“I don’t know how to communicate with the tax office.”
To support individuals in these situations,
we offer comprehensive personal tax services, including:
- Preparation and filing of annual income tax returns
- Support for declaring side income, rental income, foreign
assets, and more
- Representation and communication with the tax office on your
behalf
- Clear explanations of Japan’s tax system in multiple languages
Let us handle the complex paperwork so you can have peace of mind. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
💼 Visa
& Residency Application Support
Whether you're planning to work or start a
business in Japan, securing the proper visa or residency status is an
essential step — and often a challenging one, even for individuals, not just
companies.
Visa procedures in Japan involve detailed documentation, legal requirements, and communication with the Immigration Bureau — all in Japanese.
This makes the process difficult for many foreign nationals, particularly for those applying for a Business Manager Visa or a Work Visa.
At our office, we offer expert support with
a strong and experienced team:
- Certified Gyoseishoshi (Administrative Scrivener) on
staff to prepare and submit official applications
- Multilingual support from foreign staff familiar with visa
procedures
- Full assistance not only for new applications but also for renewals,
status changes, and permanent residency
- One-stop support for Business Manager Visas, including
help with company registration and business plans
Let us take the stress out of the application process so you can focus on your goals in Japan.
💼 Comprehensive
Support for Hiring, Labor Management, and Social Insurance for Foreign
Employees
As more companies in Japan hire foreign
talent, managing post-hire responsibilities such as labor compliance and
social insurance enrollment has become increasingly important — and
often challenging due to the complexity of Japanese regulations.
Both employers and foreign employees may
struggle with legal requirements, insurance systems, and language barriers.
Our office includes certified Labor and
Social Security Attorneys (Shakai Hoken Roumushi) who offer full support in
the following areas:
- Employment contract creation and labor rule compliance for
foreign workers
- Enrollment procedures for health insurance and employee pension
- Filing and managing labor insurance (workers’ compensation and
unemployment insurance)
- Advice on working hours, overtime, paid leave, and other labor
management issues
- Multilingual support for non-Japanese-speaking employees
We help ensure smooth, compliant hiring and
HR processes so that your company can confidently employ and support foreign
staff.
