AKIYA & HOME CONSULTATION IN SHODOSHIMA
NAGASE KOMUTEN
Real Estate Division
FOR OWNERS

Own an akiya or land on Shodoshima but live elsewhere?

Your family home, akiya or inherited land is in Kagawa — on Shodoshima — but you are not.
Deciding whether to sell or rent, and the procedures that follow, can all move forward without you traveling here.

Does this sound familiar?

“

Mowing and airing out the house every time you visit — the repeated trips are wearing you down.

“

No one lives there, yet property tax keeps coming every year.

“

You worry about leaks and decay, but it's too far to go and check.

“

Sell, rent or keep it? There's no one on the island to talk it through with.

“

The title is still in your parent's name, and you're not sure the inheritance was ever registered.

“

You inherited land that sits as bare land or farmland — with no plan and no idea how to let it go.

How we can help

You can stay where you are. Start by telling us the situation online.

01
Remote consultation (Zoom / Google Meet)

From your own home, with screen sharing. Looking at maps and photos together, we sort out the condition of your property and the way forward. Land consultations are welcome too. No need to visit. Evenings and weekends are fine.

02
On-site check & photo report

When you consult us about selling or renting, we visit the property and report the condition of the building and land with photos and video. No attendance needed from you.

03
Selling, renting & free appraisal

Based on the condition of the building and land, we give a free price guide for selling or renting. We also handle appraisal of bare land, farmland and woodland — farmland sales may require Agricultural Committee approval under the Agricultural Land Act, and we guide you through the process.

04
From marketing to contract & handover

We list on this site and introduce the property to people hoping to move here. We attend viewings, negotiate terms and handle the contract and handover, reporting progress online.

Consult online

Reach us by form or phone and we'll send a Zoom / Google Meet link. There is no charge.

2
On-site check

We visit the property and report its condition with photos and video. For land, we also check the current state and boundaries. No attendance needed from you.

STEP
3
Decide the direction

Sell, rent or something else — we think through the path that fits your situation, with a price guide at this stage.

STEP

Marketing, contract & handover

We look for buyers or tenants as agreed. A licensed agent handles the contract, and a judicial scrivener handles registration. We report progress online.

What an island-based agency can do

Licensed agents in charge

From appraisal to contract and handover, a licensed real estate agent is in charge. Realistic price guidance on both buildings and land.

We are based on the island

Our head office is in Ikeda, Shodoshima-cho. Unlike an off-island firm, we can quickly check the site or attend viewings — and we know the ferries and the local lay of the land.

One window from consultation to handover

Consultation, appraisal, marketing, contract and handover — all through a single contact.

FAQ

Q
Can we proceed without ever going to the island?
A
Yes. Consultation, on-site checks and reporting can all be completed online and on your behalf. You are welcome to visit and attend if you wish, but it is not required.
Q
What does it cost?
A
Consultation and appraisal are free. When a sale or lease is concluded, we charge a brokerage fee within the legal maximum. If other costs such as registration or surveying apply, we explain them in advance.
Q
The title is still in my parent's name / inheritance isn't registered yet — is that OK?
A
You can still consult us. Selling or renting may require sorting out the title; we explain the necessary procedures and how to consult a judicial scrivener or other specialist.
Q
The altar and belongings are still inside.
A
You can consult us as is. We do not offer clearing services ourselves, but we can appraise the property with belongings still inside, and think through how to sell or rent it — including what to do about the contents.
Q
We haven't decided whether to sell or rent.
A
That's perfectly fine. We share the building's condition and a sense of the market, and propose options — including taking your time before deciding.
Q
Can you handle bare land, farmland or woodland?
A
Yes. We consult on bare lots, farmland and woodland. Farmland sales may require procedures under the Agricultural Land Act, such as Agricultural Committee approval — we explain the steps and guide you through.
Q
The land boundaries aren't clear.
A
Please consult us as-is. We visit and check the site, and if necessary, guide you on consulting a licensed land surveyor or other specialist.
