Expert Tax Support for Your Return to Japan

Relocating from the United States to Japan is a major life transition that brings significant changes to your home, career, and asset management.
In particular, the complex tax systems of both the United States and Japan can create unexpected tax burdens. To prevent these and protect your valuable assets, careful tax planning before your return is essential.

Since our founding in 2014, we have specialized in individual cross-border taxation, assisting many clients in successfully managing their return from the U.S. to Japan. Drawing on our extensive experience and expertise, we address each of your tax concerns and questions—step by step—before and after your move.

Our commitment is to always stand by our clients’ side, ensuring you can begin your new life in Japan with confidence and peace of mind. We look forward to helping you make a smooth and successful transition.
