I am a freelancer currently residing in Kyoto, Japan and also a support staff member in the real estate field.
Although I have only recently started studying real estate,
I work alongside a partner who has been operating a real estate business in Kyoto for over 50 years.
I currently assist this real estate company as an interpreter for Japanese and Chinese,
helping to make the Japanese real estate market more accessible to foreign clients.
I specialize in properties located in the Kyoto area and can focus on finding properties that are available for purchase by foreign buyers, based on your requirements.
While I am proficient in interpreting Japanese and Chinese,
my English skills are limited, so I would appreciate your understanding regarding my use of translation tools or AI translation services when necessary.
I am eager to take on various projects, meet diverse clients, and expand my experience in the field.
I look forward to using my skills and connections to assist you with your project!
