What is for sale

This is a 40 square metre rental space business two minutes' walk from Ikebukuro Station, used for parties, meetings, filming and livestreaming, with capacity for up to 30 people. It has been in full operation for about 1 year and 8 months, runs 24 hours a day with unmanned, self-check-in operation, and is currently profitable. The seller is selling because they operate multiple rental spaces and are restructuring their portfolio to focus resources on other businesses.

This is an asset transfer, so the buyer takes over the equipment, booking account and lease rights only, and must set up their own company or sole-proprietorship arrangements, re-sign the lease with landlord consent, and re-register any accounts in their own name.

Paying for it

If you stay overseas. No Japanese bank will lend to a new company whose director lives abroad. The realistic stack is your own cash plus asking the owner to take part of the price over 2 to 3 years. That one question is in every Deal Pack.

If you move to Japan. On a visa that lets you run a business, Japan Finance Corporation lends up to ¥72M at about 1 to 2 percent for exactly this. Once you have a Japanese company, the government pays two-thirds of due diligence and registered-broker costs, up to about ¥8M (round 16 closes 6 Nov 2026). You start a bank relationship from zero.

What this listing says. The asking price of ¥3,500,000 is separate from a broker success fee of 10% of the sale price (minimum ¥100,000 plus tax), payable within 7 days of contract signing, bringing the buyer's total cost to about ¥3,885,000 including tax; the security deposit on the lease is not included in the price and must be returned to the seller and re-lodged fresh by the buyer.
