- Digital300 JPY




Moving out of a rental in Japan and got a settlement statement full of Japanese terms — クロス張替え, ハウスクリーニング, 鍵交換 — and no idea whether you should pay? This kit helps you check every line yourself against Japan's official MLIT guideline on restoration (原状回復をめぐるトラブルとガイドライン, revised edition) and Civil Code Articles 621 and 622-2, then ask polite, clear questions in Japanese. What you get ・25-page full-colour PDF guide (printable): three core principles, who-pays tables by room part, depreciation explained, special clauses, Tokyo's ordinance, a 7-step self-check, move-out checklist, photo evidence guide, help desks, and official sources with URLs and check dates ・28 common settlement line items, Japanese ↔ English ・Excel residual-value calculator (works in Excel and Google Sheets): estimates your share using official service lives (e.g. 6 years for wallpaper and carpet) ・5 Japanese email templates with English meaning: request a breakdown, discuss items, follow up, confirm the agreement, book the walk-through Who it's for: English-speaking tenants in Japan, 1–2 months before moving out or after receiving the statement. Please note: General information and templates only — not legal advice. Nobody negotiates on your behalf, and no reduction or refund is guaranteed. For your specific case, contact a consumer center (188) or Houterasu's multilingual line (0570-078377).
