I had a great experience working with Keiko and can highly recommend her services. She supported me with obtaining official documents from Japan and made the entire process incredibly easy to understand. From the very beginning, Keiko clearly explained every step, kept me thoroughly updated throughout the process, and always responded very quickly to any questions I had. Her communication was excellent, and I always knew exactly what was happening and what to expect next. I am very grateful for her professional, reliable, and friendly support. She made what could have been a complicated process feel straightforward and well organized. I can highly recommend her services. Thank you so much, Keiko!

The most exceptional professional I have ever worked with. We first contacted Keiko about 18 months ago, when we were trying to navigate the enormous and complicated process of moving our family from the UK to Japan. Since then, she has helped us with visas, company registration, housing, immigration procedures, renewals and countless other pieces of Japanese administration that I simply would not have known how to navigate on my own. And believe me, there have been a LOT of hurdles, setbacks, complications and unexpected problems along the way. Keiko has been there for every single one of them. She is exceptionally competent, incredibly meticulous, extraordinarily responsive and unbelievably reliable. Her attention to detail is second to none. But what makes her so special is that she doesn’t simply do what is technically required and then consider the job finished. She genuinely cares the needs of her clients. She will go above and beyond every single time to make life easier for you. She thinks ahead, finds solutions, helps you jump through the next hoop and works out how to overcome the next problem. Whenever something has gone wrong or we have hit another unexpected obstacle, Keiko has been calm, reassuring and already thinking about what we can do next. And that has meant an enormous amount to me. I am a worrier and I have never found it particularly easy to completely trust professionals with important things. I am used to checking everything myself, wondering if something has been missed and chasing people for answers. With Keiko, for the first time, I genuinely didn’t have to worry. Her meticulousness is extraordinary. I knew that she had thought of things I hadn’t thought of, checked things I hadn’t checked and was watching out for problems before they became problems. She has never once let me down, made me feel like I was being difficult or made me anxious when something went wrong. Quite the opposite, she has always made me feel that we are in safe hands. And that is why, even though we are now living in Japan, we continue to have Keiko support our family. I genuinely don’t think we could have done this without Keiko. But I also want to say something about who Keiko is, because please don’t read all of this and imagine some terrifying, stern, ultra-serious work-work-work workaholic sitting behind a desk surrounded by paperwork! 😅 She is anything but. Keiko is funny, warm, gentle, kind, hilarious and incredibly sincere. She has such a lovely personality and is genuinely humble. She cares deeply about the people she works with, and that comes through in everything she does. Keiko is truly special. You will never feel like you are simply another client or another piece of work on her desk. She has exceeded my expectations at every stage of our journey. If you are looking for an administrative scrivener, I would wholeheartedly recommend Keiko. Thank you, Keiko, for everything you have done for us and everything you continue to do for us. It has been such a privilege to have you in our lives, and I hope our working relationship continues for many, many years to come. We absolutely adore you. 💕

Keiko-san helped me with the notarization and apostille of a foreign-language document, clarifying the process to me, as well as supporting me with the setting up of the notarization appointment. As a non-native, such legal and bureaucratic processes are stressful, as my Japanese is definitely not up to speed with the specific legal terms and concepts. For this reason, I reached out to Keiko-san's Trust Administrative Scrivener Office, who helped me throughout. She responded quickly and competently to my queries, and was friendly and professional.

初来日本的家庭强烈推荐!😊 来到日本后,为了办理经营管理签证有很多不懂的地方。行政书士本人非常专业、亲切热情,能够用中文文字顺畅沟通,对我们刚来的家庭帮助特别大。很多担心的事情都会耐心解释,还帮我们开通水电,贴心地选择了有优惠的组合,真正站在客户的角度替我们着想。费用也合理透明,让委托过程非常安心。真的非常感谢!推荐给和我们一样初来日本的朋友!😊 ⸻ 日本に来てすぐ、経営管理ビザの手続きで分からないことが多かったのですが、行政書士の先生はとても親切で、丁寧に対応してくださいました。中国語での文章のやり取りもスムーズで、本当に助かりました。生活面でも、電気・水道の契約やお得なプランの案内までサポートしてくださり、常に依頼者の立場に立って考えていただけました。費用も良心的で分かりやすく、安心してお任せできました!日本に来たばかりの方にもぜひおすすめです!😊

I had the pleasure of working with Keiko on the renewal of my Business Manager visa, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her support. She is incredibly resourceful, always finding the best solutions and explaining everything clearly. Beyond her professionalism, Keiko is also warm, friendly, and genuinely cares about her clients’ success and peace of mind. Thanks to her guidance, the process felt smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Keiko to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer in Japan!

Keiko-san helped us with a very complex and unique business manager case, which was approved with no further request for documentation during the process. She covered all the bases and sent a very strong case file submission to immigration which led to approval. We are extremely grateful for your help and will continue to use your services for each renewal!
