We’ve significantly expanded our services to provide robust support for condominium management associations and owners!

Advance preparation is necessary to be able to shelter in place at your familiar apartment during a disaster. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has implemented a system to register and publicize apartments that make it easier to continue living at home even during a disaster as “Tokyo Stay-in-Place Apartments.”
To further support disaster preparedness efforts by management associations and landlords of registered condominiums, we are significantly expanding our subsidy programs and have begun accepting applications. An overview of each subsidy program is provided below.
We encourage you to take this opportunity to utilize these programs and prepare for disasters.
