ABOUT HARUKABASE
A local welcome.
From people in Japan.
HarukaBase is an English-first Japan arrival support service operated by Motoyuki Goto as a sole proprietor under the business name Misty Wood in Kyoto.
You bring your plans.
We help connect them.
Coming to Japan means coordinating more than a flight. Your first address, transport, job-search preparation, travel plans, and local communication all need to work together.
We help international visitors, short-term students, working holiday participants, and new residents handle these practical steps. You can ask for one service or combine the help you need.
