Thank you for visiting the Lifemates website. I am Minoda, the representative.
Our office provides services to resolve the concerns and problems of Japanese people living overseas, as well as to handle various procedures required in Japan.
When living overseas, even researching Japanese systems and mechanisms can be a struggle. Have you ever tried to research something yourself on the Internet, only to find that there was too much information and you couldn't figure out which one was correct, or that there was too much technical terminology and you couldn't fully understand it, or that you wanted to call a Japanese government office but couldn't get through due to the time difference or busy lines? It's even more difficult when you actually have to go through the procedures.
If you consult with our office, we will listen to your concerns and situation, and then advice to you in an easy-to-understand way what procedures you need to go through in the future. Even if we don't know what to do, we will make inquiries to the relevant ministries and government offices on your behalf and answer the questions. In addition to accepting consultations, we can also handle various procedures on your behalf, so please feel free to contact us.
Lifemates has a track record of consulting on over 1,000 cases of pensions, repatriation, nationality, and financial procedures, with a wide range of know-how required by people living overseas.
We provide one-stop consultation (with only one office) on matters such as residence status, social security, taxes, and housing search, without the need to collect information or search for a company for each field.
We also provide consultation in English, so we can also provide consultation for foreign nationals and local family members and surviving relatives.
Although the administrative procedures are technical and include legal matters, we will explain in easy-to-understand terms so that our customers can easily understand. We strive to provide thorough consultations that are easy to understand even for elderly people and those who have not used Japanese for many years.
After you start receiving your pension, we will provide aftercare for you even after you return to Japan.
In order to respond as quickly as possible, we will respond (email) late at night and early in the morning to eliminate time loss due to time differences.

We have clearly set fees for our consultation services and various proxy services, and these are listed on our website. If there are any additional costs, we will consult with you in advance, so please rest assured.
We conduct Japanese pension record investigations (confirmation of eligibility and expected amount of pension) free of charge. Moreover in the unlikely event that your pension is not paid, we will not charge you any fees.
We also accept convenient credit card payments for payments from overseas residents.
