KonMari Home Organizing Program in Tokyo for Expat Executives
Stop carrying the mental load.
Start fueling your future.
Reclaim your focus and transform your living space into a sanctuary that supports your success in Japan.
Is your home truly supporting your life in Japan?
By the time you're home, you've already made hundreds of decisions. The energy for the house is gone.
Every Sunday, the same thought. "I really need to deal with this." Monday comes. Work takes over. Filed away.
Nothing is quite done. Not one room where you can fully exhale. And the part that feels furthest away isn't even your own belongings — it's your partner's things. Your children's. You can't sort those without a conversation. Somehow, that stops the whole house from ever feeling finished.
The problem was never information. You may have started before. What's missing is someone in the room — asking the next question, keeping the momentum going — when your own energy has already been spent.
Why this works when nothing else has
Tidying alone means it stays on the list forever. I show up. We do it together. It gets done — in 120 days, completely.
The result:
You get a home that supports your career and wellbeing.
You can actually relax in a finished space.
And the thought “I should tidy up” stops running in the background.
Living in a foreign country is a bold challenge. But if you feel the mental weight of "I should tidy up" every time you walk through the door, your home might be holding you back. This program is not just about organizing — it’s about clearing the path for your career, your relationships, and your peace of mind.
Your home should work for you. Let’s make that happen.
“I’m capable at work, but at home I’m stuck.”
I don’t need more advice - I need a structured plan and someone to do it with me.

How the 6 Sessions Unfold
The KonMari Method moves through five categories in a specific order — starting with what's easiest to decide and ending with what's most personal. For a typical home with moderate volume, six sessions often unfold like this:
Clothing — everything out, decide one by one
Books
Papers
Komono — everything else (bathroom, storage, tools, etc.)
Kitchen (Komono) — often its own session due to volume
Sentimental items — photographs, letters, memories
Between sessions, work not completed in-person becomes homework — so each meeting begins with new progress, not repetition. If your home's volume asks for more hands-on time, the Extension Session Bundle keeps things moving without renegotiating the plan.
Ideal for:
Global professionals who feel "capable at work but stuck at home" — and are ready to finally close that gap.
Those ready to start with their own belongings first — before involving family, so that transformation begins with themselves.
Those willing to commit 120 days of focused intention, with the time and space to see it through.
Those who see ¥600,000 as an investment in a finished home, a clearer mind, and a renewed relationship with their space.
Those with an open heart to discover a new way of living — one decision at a time.
This may not be the right fit if:
You're looking for a one-off session or a quick fix.
You're hoping your family will change first, before you begin with your own belongings.
Program Investment: ¥600,000

Ready to start your new chapter?
Hi, I’m Ai Hayashi.
The executives I work with in Tokyo are not people who lack discipline. They are people who have applied everything they have to their careers and their lives here. The home gets what's left. Which is often nothing.
I work one-on-one with executives and professionals in Tokyo — expats, business owners, people building their next chapter here — through the KonMari Method®. In English and Japanese, so when the time comes to include family, language won't be a barrier.
My role is to be in the room beside you — so the decisions get made, and the house gets done.
FAQ
-
I am based in Ota City, Tokyo. I offer in-home sessions across all 23 wards of Tokyo and nearby cities such as Yokohama and Kawasaki, in English or Japanese. Online sessions are available for clients elsewhere in Japan, and for those preparing for a move to Japan. Travel is included for locations reachable from Nishi-Magome Station within ¥3,000 round-trip by public transport. If a travel fee applies, you will receive a quote in advance — no surprises.
-
Sessions are available daily between 10:00 AM and 9:00 PM, with flexible scheduling for busy professionals. I work with a maximum of four active clients at any time, so availability is limited. If all spots are filled, I will let you know the next opening during your discovery call.
-
Everything begins with a free 30-minute discovery call. We discuss your home, your timing, and whether the program is the right match. If it is, we schedule your sessions from there. Sessions cannot be booked without a discovery call, or on behalf of another person.
-
The program is designed for professionals who want their entire home finished — once, and for good. It is a good fit if you are ready to start with your own belongings, can commit to 120 days, and want structured, in-person support so the work actually gets done. It is not the right service if you are looking for a one-off session, a quick fix, or organizing of a single small space such as a pantry or garage.
-
No. The KonMari Method® is built on your decisions — what stays is what supports your life. That is why we work side by side throughout. My perfect kitchen would not be your perfect kitchen; we have different habits, and we cook and eat differently.
-
There’s no need — in fact, it helps if you don’t. Seeing your home in its natural state gives me the insight I need to design systems you will actually maintain. Before your first session (clothing), simply make sure your laundry is done — folding is not necessary.
-
Yes. Sessions and all communication are available in both English and Japanese. Work in whichever language feels most natural — and when it is time to include family, language will not be a barrier.
-
Yes — Ai Hayashi is a bilingual KonMari® Silver Consultant based in Tokyo, Japan, offering in-home organizing sessions in both English and Japanese. She works with expats and international residents across all 23 wards of Tokyo, including Minato-ku, Shibuya-ku, and Setagaya-ku, as well as Kawasaki and Yokohama.
-
Ai Hayashi is one of the few KonMari® certified consultants in Japan who conducts sessions fluently in English, making her particularly well-suited for expats and international residents. She holds a KonMari® Silver certification from KMJ and works across all 23 wards of Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Yokohama.
-
Hold off on purchasing anything new until the end. During decluttering, all storage is temporary until every category is complete — and quite often, what you already own is enough. When additional items are genuinely needed, I will recommend or source them for you.
-
Disposal of discarded items is up to you, but you won’t be left guessing. I will guide you to the right disposal route for your ward — including options for donation, buy-back services, and collection for oversized items.
-
Absolutely. I never disclose client information or identify you as a client. Progress photos are shared only with your written permission on the client contract, and your name, location, and personal details always remain confidential.
-
Yes. I carry commercial general liability and professional liability insurance through the Japan Freelance Association.
-
The Whole-home Transformation Program is ¥600,000 — one fixed price for every client. This consists of an enrollment fee of ¥55,000 and a program fee of ¥545,000. The program fee may be paid in full or in two installments. I accept credit card and bank transfer.
There are no hourly rates, no custom quotes, and no negotiation — the price you see is the price you pay. The only optional add-on is the Extension Session Bundle (¥50,000), pre-priced for homes that need more hands-on time.
-
Yes — the program can be given as a gift. That said, tidying is a personal journey, so please make sure the recipient genuinely welcomes it. I will hold a discovery call with the recipient before any sessions are scheduled.
-
Yes. For pre-move support, I recommend starting at least one month before your moving date. If you are moving to Japan, we can meet online before you arrive to review your belongings and decide what truly needs to come with you. Once you are here, I can support your unpacking in person and set up an organized, functional home from day one.
