Launch of “Anshin Sozoku”: Remote Hokkaido Real Estate Sales and Family Home Disposal Without Travel
Tackling Mandatory Inheritance Property Issues Through the Synergy of Expert Legal Networks and Digital-to-Field Real Estate Operations
On August 26, 2026, Kukan Inc. (Furano, Hokkaido; CEO: Kentaro Yamamoto), a web production and real estate firm, launched the official website for “Anshin Sozoku” (https://anshin-souzoku-hokkaido.jp/) in partnership with the General Incorporated Association Inheritance Affairs Support Association. The platform supports individuals residing outside Hokkaido with local inheritance and property sales.
This collaborative model leverages the association as a unified expert consultation window, while Kukan manages end-to-end operations—from digital lead generation to local real estate sales and property management across Hokkaido.
Mandatory Registration & Hokkaido’s Neglected Property Challenge
National regulations are tightening, highlighted by the April 2024 mandatory inheritance registration and reduced tax breaks for poorly managed vacant homes.

Strengthened measures for vacant home utilization and management. Take action before issues arise!
In Hokkaido, instances of individuals in their 50s living elsewhere in Japan inheriting parental properties from a distance are surging.
Busy schedules make trips for winter snow removal or summer weeding difficult, and unknown local market values stall inheritance talks, leaving many properties neglected.
To solve these remote challenges, a neutral, one-stop window handling legal, tax, and exit strategies without on-site visits was urgently needed.
One-Stop Support Driven by Strategic Digital Marketing and Local Operations
Kukan Inc. has integrated its digital marketing expertise with licensed real estate operations to launch a platform designed to resolve every concern for clients living outside Hokkaido.
Targeted Digital User Journey (Marketing Angle)
The platform features an optimized SEO structure targeting long-tail searches like “Hokkaido inheritance” and “family home disposal & real estate sales.” Built with clear navigation, the landing page allows busy clients to quickly access essential information on mobile devices. Additionally, the friendly mascot character “Tsunagitsune” helps explain complex legal and real estate procedures in an easily accessible manner.
Seamless End-to-End Solutions: From Legal Experts to Exit Strategies (Real Estate Angle)
The association serves as a neutral entry point, connecting clients with specialized legal and tax professionals (such as Yanada Law Office).
Meanwhile, Kukan’s real estate division handles the complex property side—site inspections, appraisals, sales, and liquidations across key Hokkaido regions including Sapporo, Furano, and Niseko.
FAQ: Hokkaido Inheritance & Real Estate Sales from Abroad / Outside Hokkaido
Answers to frequently asked questions from media and clients. Please visit our official website for more details and additional queries.
Q. I live outside Hokkaido. Can I complete the entire process without visiting the property?
A. Yes, absolutely. Through online consultations and mailed documentation, our team and trusted partners handle every local step—from municipal surveys and estate cleanouts to lawn mowing, snow removal, and final property sales.
Q. I can’t decide whether to sell my family home or keep and manage/utilize it. Can I still consult with you?
A. Yes, certainly. Our neutral entry point collaborates with our real estate division to evaluate your property based on location—whether in the Sapporo metro area, regional cities, or resort destinations—and propose the ideal exit strategy, including sales, vacant home management, or conversion into lodging facilities, completely free of charge.
Q. What should we do if heirs disagree on how to divide the inherited real estate?
A. We can help guide you toward a fair resolution. Our partner attorneys and judicial scriveners provide legal guidance for consensus-building, while our real estate division offers an objective, third-party market valuation. We recommend proactive solutions to prevent disputes, such as liquidating the property and dividing the proceeds (“liquidation division”).
Integrating Web Development and Real Estate Operations: Kukan’s Business Value Driven by “Digital Strategy × On-Site Expertise”
Traditional web development agencies often consider their job done once a visually appealing website is delivered. However, that model completely fails to address the root struggles of clients living far away who feel helpless about their inherited family homes. That is precisely why, despite being a digital firm, we went further: we acquired a licensed real estate broker qualification and stepped directly onto the front lines of physical operations.
The core of this project lies in marrying digital speed with hands-on, ground-level execution. We combine digital responsiveness—reaching confused clients online without delay—with a relentless, hands-on commitment: physically walking property lines, arranging snow removal and lawn maintenance, and delivering true financial value through successful property liquidations.
By leveraging this dual engine—a finely tuned digital user journey paired with real estate expertise deeply rooted in Hokkaido—we are building a vital social infrastructure. This enables clients living in Tokyo and across Japan to smoothly transition their valuable assets to the next generation, completely eliminating the burden of costly travel and lost time.
