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
*Enrollment closes when 4 spots are filled.
Extension Session Bundle — ¥50,000
For when your home's volume asks for more.
One additional in-person session (3–5 hours)
One-month extension of priority messaging support (Zoom / LINE)
Add one or more bundles during your 120-day program or within 30 days after graduation. Pre-priced, transparent — no mid-program negotiation.
Our Commitment to Your Success:
7-Day Money-Back Guarantee: Full refund available within 7 days after the first session to ensure we are the perfect match.
Flexible Payment: 2-step installment plans are available upon request.

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.

No. The KonMari Method™ is a deeply personal process based on what brings you joy and your ideal lifestyle. This is why we will need to work closely and collaboratively throughout the process. Like I always say, my perfect kitchen wouldn't be your perfect kitchen as we have different habits and enjoy cooking and eating different foods.
-
Please resist the urge to tidy up. If I can see your home in its natural state, it will give me greater insight into your habits for me to give you suggestions on future maintenance. For your first session, we will be working on your clothing category so please ensure you do laundry but folding of your clean laundry is not necessary.

I recommend holding off on purchasing any new storage or organizational items until the end. During the joy check (decluttering) phase, all storage is considered temporary until we finish all categories. Quite often, we're able to use what you already have for storage. When additional items are needed, I can provide suggestions or source the items for you.
