### About the Founder My name is Toru Fujito, founder of En Beau lo Co., Ltd. I have been involved in real estate, international business, and property-related services in Japan for many years. Through my work with overseas clients and international partners, I recognized a growing need for reliable local support for property owners who live outside Japan. Many overseas owners face challenges such as property inspections, maintenance coordination, mail handling, communication with contractors, and managing inherited or vacant properties. Our mission is to provide practical and trustworthy support, acting as your local representative in Japan. Whether you own a family home, inherited property, vacant house, or investment property, we are committed to helping you protect and maintain your asset with confidence. We provide support in English, Chinese, and Japanese, ensuring smooth communication and efficient local assistance across Japan. I look forward to assisting you and helping you care for your property in Japan.
