What is for sale

This is an unmanned, 24-hour coin laundry on a busy residential road in front of a commercial facility in Tokyo, operating since April 2013. It has a loyal local customer base built up over more than ten years, accepts both cash and IC card payment, and includes remote monitoring and sales-tracking systems. The current owner, who took over the shop about two years ago and improved its costs and sales, is now selling because they do not wish to reinvest in replacing the laundry machines going forward.

This is an asset (business) transfer, so the buyer purchases the equipment, goodwill and know-how, but must set up their own lease, utility accounts and any registrations rather than inheriting a company.

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 ¥7,000,000 asking price is separate from the broker's success fee of ¥500,000 to ¥1,500,000 (no upfront or interim fee), and the buyer will also need to cover new lease costs of 3 months' deposit, 1 month's key money and 1 month's agent fee when signing their own tenancy agreement; no bank loans or guarantees are mentioned.
