Property search & acquisition
We find land, hotels and ryokans that fit your brief, then guide the purchase through negotiation, contract and closing as your licensed real estate broker.
ABOUT ZIYOU
From finding the right property to preparing for opening. We help international investors acquire hotels and ryokans, with a local team in Tokyo to coordinate each step.
WHY ZIYOU
Buying a hotel in Japan involves more than a property transaction. Architects, licensing professionals, contractors and operators all need to work from the same plan.
We lead the property transaction, keep track of practical questions and coordinate the next steps. When separately engaged, we also manage the project through opening.
We handle brokerage and agreed project coordination. Licensed specialists provide professional advice; the relevant authorities decide on approvals.
OUR ROLE
Choose the support your project needs. Opening project management is separately contracted; ongoing hotel operations are outside its scope.
We find land, hotels and ryokans that fit your brief, then guide the purchase through negotiation, contract and closing as your licensed real estate broker.
We review available zoning, access, building, fire-safety and licensing information to identify what needs closer investigation. This is an initial review, not an assurance of approval.
We coordinate architects, licensing professionals, fire-safety specialists and contractors, keeping applications and opening preparation connected.
Under a separate agreement, we manage the schedule, budget and contractors, and help you resolve decisions before opening. Daily hotel operations are not included.
WHO DOES WHAT
The real estate transaction, cross-party communication, issue organization, and the agreed project-coordination scope.
Architecture, structure, fire safety, legal registration, construction technique, and other regulated professional judgments remain with the relevant specialists.
A preliminary view is not a guarantee of approval. The relevant authorities make the final decision based on the property, supporting documents, design, inspections, and other case-specific facts.
Opening PM is separate from brokerage. Ongoing hotel operation, staffing, cleaning, and guest service require a separate operating arrangement.
