Yumi Hoshi

Yumi Hoshi began her career as a Real Estate Agent after serving as an Executive Assistant to foreign nationals in global companies, including an American pharmaceutical firm, a French cosmetics giant, and a German semiconductor manufacturer.

“Working as a ‘bridge’ between cultures can be frustrating at times, but it gives me fresh perspectives and makes me flexible, versatile, and resilient—and it’s fun!” Yumi shares with a smile.

Yumi’s approach to real estate prioritizes her clients’ needs above all else. She doesn’t promote properties just because they are the trendiest or most luxurious. Instead, she focuses on understanding her clients’ requirements and finding the perfect match.

In her spare time, Yumi is learning Sōgetsu-ryū Ikebana Flower Arrangement. Her dream is to spread this wonderful Japanese traditional art to the world, using not only English but also French and Italian. Speaking multiple languages never stops giving her joy, helping her to continually expand her horizons.

“Life in Japan goes quite smoothly. Trains, shops, restaurants, etc. all run like clockwork so you can focus your time on work, or on enjoying your life. On the other hand, Japan has a unique culture steeped in tradition, and you can see this especially in the real estate business. The real estate market in Japan tends to be a bit closed and conservative. Navigating this hurdle can be a roadblock to enjoying your new life in Japan, but don’t worry and give me a call! I will assist you in overcoming it and make your property search and your life in Tokyo stress-free and fun!”
