Great experience - japanese-architects.com's professionals were very helpful, knowledgeable about the market and the communication was wonderful.
The architects that were introduced were excellent - they had different styles which really helped us choose the ideal architect for us.

It’s been a nice experience since I knew japanese-architects.com. Professional advice and warm help on every part of work we had. Big thanks to Megumi-san.
The communication and interpretation support was very helpful, especially for the people who cannnot speak fluent Japanese.

Overall, I found the japanese-architects.com platform to be of high quality and japanese-architects.com staff to be polite, engaging and practical. japanese-architects.com has become an indispensable part of my house building process.
Without their support, it would have been exceedingly difficult to find an architect and to manage the complex process of purchasing the land, designing a new home and managing the construction process.

The japanese-architects.com website offers valuable information on the design styles of different architects and facilitates the overall selection process.
The discussion with the japanese-architects.com staff was valuable in communicating my preferences, and japanese-architects.com's recommendation proved to be an excellent fit.

It was extremely reassuring to have a group of professionals from all areas - architect, real estate, local builder and financing advisors - come together and form a strong team to work on our dream home.

1. Free Consultation
Architectural advisor will ask about your plans and wishes in-person or online.
The consultation is free of charge. Please contact us to get your project started.
Why is the service free of charge?
Our business is run based on the marketing fee we receive from the architect offices. Most of the architect offices in Japan don't have an in-house marketing function and japanese-architects.com is a platform for the registered architects.
You can start with casual questions
Many clients visit us with questions like "I want to learn the general process" or "How much do you think our house will cost?".
Please feel free to contact us and book a meeting with a local professional.
2. Architect Meeting
We will make a tailored recommendation of the most suitable architect(s) based on what you tell us in the consultation.
If you didn't like the architect you were recommended or you talked to, you can come back to us as many times as you like and we can recommend you a new candidate. We will make a thorough consideration every time for your important house plan.
3. Land Search and more
If you don't have land yet, we can provide full support with our partnered real estate agents. Not only do we get you information on land for sale but also investigate the pros and cons of the land together with you and the architect candidate.
We can also support you with your mortgage loan process as necessary.
4. Decide Architect
If you are comfortable with the architect, who may also be advising you on the land search process, you can officially hire them as your architect.
japanese-architects.com will support you with the contract communication as well.
5. Start Designing
You can tell all your wants and wishes to the architect and they will make it happen. You will also discuss about your budget and priorities to make the design a realistic plan.
You can ask us for an English-speaking architect or japanese-architects.com can continue to support your communication with a small fee.
We will provide thorough and comprehensive support for your important house plans.
