caught your eye?

See whether it fits the life, or the work, you have in mind.

Could you live the life you want here?

Could your work take root here?

Start with an address

Enter the address of a place you are considering. We look at the surrounding area using public information.

What you will learn

LIFE
Shops, healthcare, schools and transport
SAFETY
Hazard designations and the lie of the land
BUSINESS
Zoning, population and who is already nearby
SUPPORT
Relocation, start-up and subsidy programmes

Before it is a decision,
it is a place you keep thinking about.

How it works

1
Enter an address
A listing you are looking at, a map link, or the address itself.
2
We read the public record
City and national records for that address, each one cited.
3
See what is known — and what is not
What the records settle, and what you will have to check on the ground.

What we know — and what we don’t

We use public sources, and we show where each piece of information came from. When something cannot be confirmed, we say so rather than filling the gap.

A report is a starting point, not a verdict. The condition of a building, and what a street is like to live on, are things only a visit can tell you.

What it costs

One report, one address. No subscription, and nothing recurring.

A place you are visiting$4.90
A property you are considering$9.90

Where we can look

A report can be written for any address in Japan.

Some records are published by each municipality in its own way, so how much a report can settle varies from town to town. Where a record is not available to us, the report says so and names the office to ask.

If you later want someone to go and look at a place in person, we currently do that in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Kyoto, Nara, and the northern part of Okinawa Island (Nago and above).
