日本国家资格专业人士，您跨境交易中值得信赖的专业伙伴。
A Licensed Japanese Professional You Can Rely On in Cross-Border Real Estate Deals.
即使身在海外，也能安心进行日本不动产交易。众多客户选择我们的理由非常明确：由持有日本国家资格的司法书士以中立立场，负责资金结算与产权登记。日本特有的产权登记制度、税务及身份确认手续，我们将与税理士等专业人士合作，一站式为您提供协助。
Living overseas doesn’t mean you can’t buy or sell property in Japan. Clients choose us because a licensed Japanese judicial scrivener (Shiho-shoshi) handles fund settlement and property registration from a neutral standpoint. We also provide one-stop support with Japan’s specific registration system, tax rules, and identity-verification procedures, working with tax accountants and other professionals where needed.
我们受理境外资产、境外法人相关资料的整理工作，帮助您向日本的金融机构、交易对手方，就资金来源提供合理的说明资料。
※本服务不涉及资金本身的保管或转移，仅提供资料的收集、翻译、整理及佐证资料的制作。资金来源是否合法，最终并非由本事务所确定或保证。
We help organize documentation related to overseas assets and offshore entities, compiling it into a reasonable explanation of the source of funds for Japanese financial institutions and counterparties.
*This service does not involve holding or transferring the funds themselves — it covers only the collection, translation, and organization of supporting documents. This office does not determine or guarantee the legality of the funds’ origin.
即使是由房地产中介公司牵线的交易，我们也可以在您的授权范围内，代为办理价款收付、登记等手续，并协助确认文件内容、管理交易进度。费用根据交易内容个别报价。
Even in transactions arranged through a real estate agency, we can act on your authorization to handle procedures such as receipt or payment of the purchase price and registration, and help you review documents and manage transaction progress. Fees are quoted individually based on the transaction.
登记与资金结算可由买卖双方共同委托；如您希望由我们仅作为您一方的代理人，请事先与我们商谈。
Registration and fund settlement can be jointly entrusted to us by both the buyer and the seller. If you would like us to act solely as your agent, please consult us in advance.
买卖合同由谁起草，取决于交易方式。有持牌不动产业者（宅地建物取引业者）参与时，买卖合同（包括所需的外语版本）由该业者负责准备，本公司的服务不包括翻译该业者所准备的合同文件。如需我们协助确认合同内容，请参见项目2（费用个别报价）。没有不动产业者参与时，合同文件由本公司或司法书士法人长门以中文、英文起草，无需当事人自行准备，以减少因语言理解偏差而产生纠纷的风险。
Who prepares the sale and purchase agreement depends on the type of transaction. When a licensed real estate broker (takken-gyosha) is involved, the broker prepares the agreement, including any foreign-language versions required; translating the broker’s contract documents is not part of our services. If you would like our help reviewing the contents, please see Item 2 (fees are quoted individually). When no broker is involved, JC Escrow or Judicial Scrivener Corporation NAGATO prepares the contract documents in Chinese and English, so the parties do not need to draft them themselves, which reduces the risk of disputes arising from differences in language interpretation.
针对2024年日本涉外登记制度改革(所有权人姓名需并记罗马字、境内联络地址需登记等新规)，由司法书士法人ながと负责办理相关登记手续。
In response to Japan’s 2024 real estate registration reforms for overseas property owners (requiring Roman-alphabet name notation and a registered domestic contact address, among other changes), Judicial Scrivener Corporation Nagato handles all related registration procedures.
对于通过香港法人、BVI法人等海外法人或SPV名义购买日本不动产的情况，我们提供实际控制人（UBO）确认、外汇法对内直接投资报告、以及海外法人名义下的产权登记实务等一站式支持。
For purchases made under overseas corporations or SPVs, such as Hong Kong or BVI entities, we provide one-stop support including Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) verification, inward direct investment reporting under the Foreign Exchange Act, and registration procedures under the name of the overseas entity.
本公司与司法书士法人长门为您提供以下服务：
- 所有权移转登记等登记业务（由司法书士法人长门办理）
- 买卖价款的资金管理（以司法书士法人长门名义的专用保管账户分账管理）
- 买卖价款的代理受领（作为卖方的代理人受领价款）
- 非居住者卖方的预扣税（10.21%）资金预留与缴纳日程设计支持
- 日本《外汇及外国贸易法》规定的报告（非居住者取得不动产的报告）支持

- 买卖合同等文件的内容确认支持（没有不动产业者参与时，包括合同文件的起草）

Together with Judicial Scrivener Corporation NAGATO, we provide:

- Management of transaction funds (held separately in a dedicated client account in NAGATO’s name)
- Receipt of the purchase price on the seller’s behalf, as the seller’s agent
- Support for the 10.21% withholding tax on non-resident sellers — setting aside the withheld amount and designing the payment schedule
- Support with reports under Japan’s Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (acquisition reports by non-residents)
- Identity and intent verification (customer due diligence under Japan’s Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds)
- Review support for sale and purchase agreements and related documents (including drafting of the contract documents when no real estate broker is involved)
- Translation and collection of source-of-funds and registration documents (such as affidavits), and advance coordination with financial institutions
关于买卖合同的签订手续，我们将为您介绍多家合作的持牌不动产业者（宅地建物取引业者），由您自行选择委托（我们不收取任何介绍费用）。合同成立后的价款代理受领、资金分账管理、过户登记及本人确认，由本公司与司法书士法人长门一贯负责办理。
For the signing of the sale and purchase agreement, we introduce several partner licensed real estate brokers, and you choose the one you prefer (we receive no referral fees). Once the agreement is concluded, receipt of the purchase price on the seller’s behalf, segregated fund management, registration, and identity verification are handled consistently by JC Escrow and Judicial Scrivener Corporation NAGATO.
买卖双方直接交易（没有不动产业者参与）时，合同文件由本公司或司法书士法人长门起草，由买卖双方直接签署。
For direct transactions between the buyer and the seller with no real estate broker involved, JC Escrow or Judicial Scrivener Corporation NAGATO prepares the contract documents, and the buyer and seller sign them directly.
根据日本法务省2024年3月22日发布的通达（民二第551号、第552号），修订后的《不动产登记规则》已于2024年4月1日起施行。主要变更有以下三点。
Under notices issued by Japan’s Ministry of Justice on March 22, 2024 (Civil Affairs Bureau Notices Nos. 551 and 552), the amended Real Property Registration Rules took effect on April 1, 2024. There are three main changes.
（1）外国个人的姓名须并记罗马字 / Roman-Letter Names for Foreign Individuals
当外国个人成为所有权登记名义人时，原则上须并记全部大写的罗马字姓名。
When a foreign individual becomes the registered owner, the name must, in principle, also be recorded in Roman letters (all capitals).
（2）日本国内联络人成为登记事项 / Contact Point in Japan Recorded in the Register
当海外居住的日本人、在日本没有住所的外国人或外国法人成为所有权人时，日本国内的联络人信息将成为登记事项。
Where the owner is a Japanese national living overseas, a foreign national with no address in Japan, or a foreign legal entity, a contact point in Japan is now recorded in the register.
（3）宣誓书的处理方式变更 / Changes to Sworn Statements
作为身份确认资料，宣誓书（宣誓供述书）的处理方式有所变更，需要另行提交护照复印件等文件。
The handling of sworn statements (affidavits) used as identity documentation has changed, and additional documents such as a copy of the passport are now required.
本所可一站式协助办理罗马字姓名的核对、日本国内联络人的设定咨询，以及宣誓书等文件的收集与翻译等所需手续。
We support the whole process in one place: checking the Roman-letter name, advising on setting up a contact point in Japan, and collecting and translating affidavits and other documents.
9．常见问题：从海外居住卖方处购买日本不动产 / FAQ: Buying Japanese Property from an Overseas Seller
从海外居住的卖方（非居民）处购买不动产，需要办理特别手续吗？
Do I need to follow any special procedures when buying property from a seller living overseas (a non-resident)?
需要。从非居民处购买位于日本国内的不动产，并在日本境内支付价款时，买方原则上负有代扣代缴义务。须按支付金额的10.21%代扣所得税及复兴特别所得税，并在支付次月10日前缴纳。
Yes. When you buy real estate located in Japan from a non-resident and pay the price in Japan, the buyer is, in principle, obliged to withhold tax. You must withhold 10.21% of the payment (income tax and special reconstruction income tax) and pay it by the 10th of the following month.
所有交易都需要代扣代缴吗？
Is withholding required in every transaction?
不是，存在例外。转让价款在1亿日元以下，且由个人买方为本人或其亲属居住而购买时，无需代扣代缴。买方为法人时，无论金额和用途如何，均不适用该例外。此外，判断是否在1亿日元以下时，定金、中期款以及固定资产税等的结算金也要计算在内，需要留意的事项较多。能否适用取决于具体情况，建议事先确认（税务方面的最终判断，请向税理士或税务机关确认）。
No, there are exceptions. Withholding is not required if the transfer price is JPY 100 million or less and an individual buyer purchases the property for the residence of the buyer or a relative. If the buyer is a corporation, this exception does not apply, regardless of the amount or purpose. In addition, the JPY 100 million test includes deposits, interim payments and settlement amounts for items such as property tax, so there are many points to watch. Whether the exception applies depends on the individual circumstances, so we recommend checking in advance (for the final tax determination, please consult a tax accountant or the tax office).
本所会如何参与这一手续？
How is our firm involved in this procedure?
本所与税理士合作，协助确认是否需要代扣代缴，并将其正确纳入交割日程。具体的税额计算及报税申报本身，属于税理士的业务范围。
We work with a tax accountant to check whether withholding is required and help build it correctly into the settlement schedule. The actual tax calculation and tax filing fall within the scope of a tax accountant’s work.
