What is for sale

This listing covers two self-service coin laundries in Yokohama, both open 24 hours and both opened around 20 years ago. Alongside the washing and drying machines, each site also earns income from coin lockers. The owner is selling because they do not want to keep running the laundromats if it means having to replace the ageing machines.

This is an asset sale, so the buyer purchases the equipment, stock and goodwill of the two laundromats rather than a company, and will need to set up their own entity, accounts and any permits.

What is included

Laundry machines and dryers at both stores (owned outright, not leased)
Coin lockers at both stores
Change machine at store 2 (new-note and new 500-yen compatible)
Detergent and softener vending machine at store 2
Existing supplier relationships (maintenance company and detergent supplier) can be transferred
Security camera at store 2 (no remote smartphone viewing)

Strengths (as the seller states them)

Long-running operation in a high population-density area of Kanagawa has built a loyal base of regular customers
Stable annual sales reported year after year
Numerous coin lockers generate additional income used by many customers
No noise or odour complaints from neighbours to date

Wrinkles a careful buyer would ask about

One 7kg washing machine at store 1 is currently broken and will be handed over as-is
A blue coin locker at store 1 is broken and will be handed over as-is
Three 7kg washing machines at store 2 are currently broken (sold as-is, though second-hand replacements may be offered if available)
About 10 coin lockers at store 2 are not working and 15 more have been deliberately powered down (though seller says this has no real impact due to high locker count)
No online sales/usage monitoring system is installed, no change machine at store 1, and neither store has a card or digital payment option, cash only

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. Nothing stated about debts, guarantees or payment terms; the listing does note that the broker's buyer-side commission is listed as none.
