Expert Tax Support for Your Return to Japan

Relocating from the United States to Japan is a major life transition that affects every aspect of your life—from housing and career to asset management.
In particular, the complex tax rules of the United States and Japan intersect, which can result in unexpected tax burdens. To prevent these and protect your valuable assets, tax planning before your return is essential.

Since our founding in 2014, we have specialized in individual cross-border taxation, supporting many individuals returning from the United States to Japan. Drawing on our extensive experience and expertise, we carefully resolve each of your tax concerns and questions before and after your return to Japan.

We promise to always provide client-centered support, ensuring you can live your new life in Japan with confidence and peace of mind.
