Chief of Homes | Property Management & Hospitality Operations in Japan
Turnkey Management to Transform Property into Active Assets
Established in 2022 and headquartered in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, Chief of Homes (COH) is a premier property management and hospitality operations brand dedicated to international investors in Japan.
We bridge property handovers with active daily operations—covering tenant leasing, guest support, housekeeping, routine upkeep, and ongoing owner reporting. As the hospitality and operational arm of the FMI Group ecosystem, COH integrates property management, the OKINI accommodation platform, and in-house Pika Pika housekeeping into a seamless post-purchase operational workflow.
Osaka-Based Property Management for Overseas Owners
On-the-Ground Osaka Team Bridging Overseas Ownership
COH’s multilingual operational team in Osaka manages every critical local touchpoint:
Guest check-in logistics & 24/7 inquiry response
Tenant leasing & rent administration
Immediate housekeeping & emergency repair coordination
Transparent financial reporting & owner communications
Effective cross-border management requires more than digital status updates—it demands swift local execution, professional judgment, and on-site coordination in Japan.
By managing over 50 properties comprising 1,500+ accommodation units, COH provides a battle-tested, scalable operational infrastructure that eliminates communication barriers for overseas owners.
End-to-End Operational Integration
We view real estate through the lens of active operational management. Property listing, dynamic pricing, guest check-in, cleaning standards, facility maintenance, and owner accounting are not isolated tasks—they are interconnected daily workflows.
By unifying tenant leasing, guest concierge, housekeeping, and financial reporting under one management framework, COH ensures your property remains market-ready, well-maintained, and fully trackable at all times.

Pika Pika
In-House Cleaning & Maintenance Partner
Flawless housekeeping directly influences guest satisfaction, positive platform reviews, and long-term asset preservation.

Occupancy & Reservation Tracking: Real-time visibility into current and upcoming bookings
Critical Maintenance Alerts: Instant notifications and repair updates directly from our Osaka team
