The AI catalogue is annual-only. Connecting Engawa to Claude or another MCP client requires an annual Explorer plan. Monthly members can sign in and create a key, but catalogue tools will return an upgrade notice instead of listings. How the AI catalogue works.
Secure checkout by Stripe. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Manage payment methods, invoices, and cancellation from your membership page.
One flat fee. Never a percentage of your property.
Explorer helps you research independently. When you are ready to move, Engawa Direct adds English-language coordination with a licensed local agent through closing for a flat $5,000.
The property price, taxes, registration, and local-agent fees remain separate. Engawa never handles purchase funds.
A clean starting point
$25 consultation
A 45-minute call to test budget, regions, financing, and fit before making a larger commitment.
Book a consultationConsultation call
A 45-minute video call in English. We go through your budget, target regions, visa and financing questions, and what's realistic. If Japan isn't the right move for you, we'll say so.
Agent match
We connect you with a licensed local agent who works in your target area and speaks English, or works fluently through our coordination. You are always represented by a licensed professional; we are not the broker.
Guided support to closing
We stay alongside you the whole way: viewings, translation, hazard and title review coordination, offer strategy, and every document through to registration. Your agent handles the contract and legal steps; we make sure nothing gets lost in translation.
