Your home has a next chapter.
I'll get it ready.
For owners preparing to host, rent out, or sell a Tokyo home: I organize the entire space with my own hands. You make the decisions in minutes — not weekends — and hand over a home that's ready to earn.

Who This Is For
Three situations. One deadline.
This program exists for owners whose home is about to be used by someone else — and who don't have the time, or the desire, to spend their remaining weeks sorting boxes.
01 — HOSTING
Your home could be earning — all of it, or just one floor.
Maybe you'll be overseas for months and the whole house could work as a minpaku until you return. Maybe you live on two floors and the third could be hosting guests. Either way, the space is full of your life right now — and guests can't stay in your life.
02 — RENTING OUT
You're renting your place furnished.
Tenants need a turnkey home they can actually use: cleared closets, working spaces, none of your personal world in view. Your belongings need to be packed, labeled, and stored — properly.
03 — SELLING
Your home needs to show well — soon.
Photos and viewings are coming. This isn't decoration; it's making every room presentable with what you already own, so buyers see the house — not the clutter. Organized homes photograph better, show better, and sell faster.
"In every case, the problem is the same: your home works for you.
Now it has to work for someone else."
What Changes
Not tidying hours. A home that's ready to hand over.
Your belongings, woven through every room
→
Packed, labeled, and secured in owner-only storage — with a storage map so you can find anything later
Rooms only you know how to live in
→
Neutral, guest-usable, photo-ready spaces
A home only you can reset
→
A one-page reset guide any cleaner or agent can follow — the home stays ready without you
Weekends lost to sorting and second-guessing
→
Your total time: about 30–60 minutes of decisions per session. I do the rest.
What you're left with isn't a tidier house.
It's a home that can earn, rent, or sell — without you in it.
How It Works
You decide in minutes. I do the hours.
The same six-session structure as my 120-Day Program — but this time, the hands doing the work are mine.
Before
Discovery call & kickoff
We set the goal, the deadline, and the rules: what stays out for guests, what gets stored, which rooms and closets are owner-only and off-limits. From here, I can work without needing you in the room.
Sessions 1–6
Six working sessions, 3–5 hours each
Each session starts with a short decision check-in — 30 to 60 minutes, in person or over Zoom — where you rule on anything that needs your judgment. Then I work. Nothing is ever discarded without your explicit approval: anything I recommend letting go is photographed and sent to you first. If your answer is "keep everything," I organize and store everything. You don't have to stay. You don't have to lift a box.
Between
Progress you can see from anywhere
Photo updates after every session, plus support by email, WhatsApp, or LINE. Already overseas? The check-ins move to Zoom and the approvals move to photos — the program doesn't need you in Japan.
Handover
Final walkthrough & the Handover Guide
We walk the finished home together (in person or on video). You receive the Handover Guide: a reset checklist for cleaners, a storage map of your packed belongings, and the systems that keep the home guest-ready without you. One month later, a check-in call to make sure it's holding.
⏱
We schedule backwards from your date. License approval, departure flight, listing day, photo shoot — tell me the deadline and I build the session plan to meet it. Most homes are handover-ready in 30–60 days.
The Division of Labor
Your part is small. That's the point.
You
- One kickoff conversation
- 30–60 minutes of decisions per session
- Photo approvals from anywhere in the world
Me
- Every hour of sorting, packing, and organizing
- Labeling, storage maps, and owner-storage setup
- Everyday trash out with the regular collection, as I work
- A specific plan for anything you sell, donate, or discard
- The reset systems that keep it ready
Scope
What's included — and what isn't.
Clear lines, agreed before we start. That's what lets me work in your home while you get on with your life.
Included
- All physical organizing work, done by me
- Packing, labeling & secure owner-storage of your personal belongings, with a storage map
- Guest-ready arrangement of every agreed space, using what you own
- Everyday trash out with your ward's regular collection, session by session
- A specific plan for anything you release — sell, donate, or dispose: which service, and exactly how
- The Handover Guide: reset checklist & storage map
- Support between sessions (email / WhatsApp / LINE / Zoom)
- 1-month check-in after handover
Not included
- Deep cleaning or housekeeping
- Interior decoration or staging purchases — I make your home show well with what's already in it
- Bookings & payments for haulers, buyers, or donation services — I'll tell you exactly who to call and how; the arrangements stay yours
- Minpaku licensing, listing setup, or property management
Anything beyond the agreed scope is quoted separately, before any work begins. No surprises in either direction.

A Note on Fit
This program isn't for everyone.
- It's not a cleaning service. If what your home needs is scrubbing rather than organizing, a cleaning company will serve you better.
- It's not hourly help. I don't sell hours; I take responsibility for an outcome. If you're comparing time-slots and day rates, we're solving different problems.
- It's not hands-free decisions. Your things are yours. I need 30–60 minutes of your judgment per session — that's exactly what makes it safe for me to do everything else without you.
- It's not decoration. I'll make your home show beautifully with what you own. Furniture and styling purchases are a different profession.
Planning to keep living in your home — and want to learn the system yourself, so it never rebounds? That's my 120-Day Whole-Home Transformation Program.
About
Ai Hayashi
I work with owners whose Tokyo homes are about to change hands — from lived-in to guest-ready — and I do the physical work myself, so the transformation doesn't cost you your final weeks here.
I'm a KonMari® certified consultant based in Tokyo. This program began with my own clients: one turning part of their home into a guest space, another letting the whole house earn as a minpaku while they were overseas. I did the physical work, they made the decisions in minutes — and each home was ready right on time: license approved, flight caught.
And to say it plainly: no judgment, ever. I've seen every kind of home. The state of yours is simply where we start.

Questions
Asked before every kickoff.
Will you throw my things away?
Never without your explicit approval. The default is the opposite: everything is kept, organized, and stored. Anything I think you might want to release is photographed and sent to you for a yes or no. "Keep everything" is a perfectly good answer — the program works either way.
Do I need to be home while you work?
No. After the kickoff, I only need you for the short decision check-in at the start of each session — in person or over Zoom. Then I work, and you get photo updates when I'm done.
What if I've already left Japan?
The program is designed for exactly that. Check-ins move to Zoom, approvals move to photos, and the final walkthrough happens on video. Several of my clients approve decisions from another time zone.
What about my valuables and private things?
At the kickoff we define owner-only zones — rooms, closets, or cabinets I don't touch, or that I pack, seal, and store for you. Your private world stays private; guests get a home, not your life.
Is cleaning included?
No — I organize, I don't clean. Guest-ready usually needs both, so many owners book a cleaning service for after my final session — an organized home makes the cleaners faster, too.
What if I decide it's not for me after we start?
Then we stop. If you choose not to continue after Session 1, the unused portion of your program fee is refunded in full — the enrollment fee and the completed session are all you've spent. No negotiation needed.
How fast can it be done?
We schedule backwards from your date. Most homes are handover-ready in 30–60 days; if your deadline is tighter, tell me on the discovery call and I'll tell you honestly whether it's possible.
Next Step
One call. Bring your date.
Tell me when your license comes through, when the guests arrive, or when your flight leaves. I'll tell you exactly what's possible before then — and whether we're a fit.
