A familiar scene from a family living in Kumamoto…

Kumamoto Family

Where shall we go this weekend?
It’s still hot out — how about some relaxed shopping?

Kids

We wanna go to Sakuramachi!
Let’s go play and grab some lunch! ♫

Dad

Alright, let’s head to Sakuramachi Kumamoto!
I’ll check Sarukuma for nearby restaurants too.

(searching the blog…)

Hmm? Looks like there’s a Home Consultation Event happening at Sakuramachi Kumamoto right now!
And just for showing up to the consultation, you get an Amazon Gift Card (*) and free parking up to the daily max!
If all we have to do is listen, that’s a pretty sweet deal!
We could splurge on lunch with what we save! ♫

Mom

That’s a great deal!
But we’re really only at the “someday we’d like a house” stage. Are people like us even welcome?
And won’t the kids get bored during the consultation?

Gussan

Wait, wait! Don’t close the page yet! 😭
Hi everyone! I’m Gussan, the editor-in-chief of Sarukuma!
The reason we’re promoting this event is simple: “I really wish something like this had existed when WE were house-hunting!”
Specifically…
• I was pregnant and feeling unwell, but the long sales pitches from home builders were brutal
• Working full-time made it hard to research and visit places
• Every precious day off got eaten up by house-hunting
• We didn’t own land and weren’t sure what kind of home suited our multigenerational living
• We didn’t realize there were options beyond new builds and detached houses, so we wasted tons of time
In the end, I just wanted to scream, “Somebody, please tell me what house we should buy!!” That’s how rough it was.

Mom and Dad

Oh wow, so there’s a real story behind the promotion!
But we honestly haven’t thought about anything yet.
It’s just been “Wouldn’t it be nice to own a house someday?” — that’s about it…

Where Do You Even Start with Home Building?

Concierge

Quick question — when you start thinking, “Maybe it’s time to look into a house,” where do you actually begin?

Mom and Dad

Hmm, come to think of it, we’ve never really thought about that.
Visiting model homes? Looking for land? Designing the perfect floor plan?
No idea… and wait, do we have to drag the kids along for ALL of that on every weekend?!

Gussan

Not always — but yes, that was exactly our situation when I was pregnant.
It also means less time for Kumamoto families to enjoy fun outings via Sarukuma. 😢

Concierge

No worries! ♪
So many people tell us, “I don’t even know what I should be worrying about when it comes to building a home.”

Building a home should be exciting and full of hope.
Like Gussan, we don’t want anyone to go through unnecessary stress.
That’s why we recommend starting here — with a chat with a neutral, third-party “Concierge”.

Built Around What Veteran Parents Wished They’d Had!

Mom and Dad

Since we don’t even know what we should worry about, being able to chat casually sounds great!
But we’ve never researched which companies might suit us.
Does that mean we have to take time to listen to ALL of them?
And then the kids would get bored anyway.
We also wanna enjoy our day out — losing half of it to consultations would be a bummer…

Concierge

Don’t worry!
This event was designed to address every “I wish we’d had this!” complaint from parents who’ve been there!
• Couldn’t focus on the conversation while looking after kids
• Kids got bored of the kids’ corner
• Wished they only had to listen to companies that actually fit them
• Sales pitches dragged on and exhausted the whole family…
These were the kinds of complaints we kept hearing.
So we put together on-site childcare, concierge-led recommendations, and short, focused 20-minute sessions per company — a consultation event the whole family can feel good about!

Gussan

If this event had existed when I was house-hunting, I would’ve signed up in a heartbeat!
Being able to swing by during a day out and casually explore home-building? Best ROI ever!

Concierge

Our concierges suggest the best companies for you based on your wishes and where you are in your home-buying journey.
We’re completely neutral, so feel free to ask us anything! ♪

Mom and Dad

A neutral recommendation feels really reassuring!
We haven’t decided anything specific, but it’s still way faster than researching from scratch ourselves!

Gussan

Exactly!
We love our current home, but back then we really wanted to know what kind of house and building style suited us.

Childcare Staff

While you’re consulting, our certified childcare professionals will look after your kids!
We’ll keep them safe and entertained, so you can chat with total peace of mind! ♪

Mom and Dad

Wow, actual childcare instead of just a kids’ space — that’s amazing! ♫
Knowing the staff are certified means we can really focus on the consultation!

Gussan

Kids’ spaces are nice, but kids end up calling “Mommy! Daddy!” the whole time anyway.
Free childcare is such a win! ♪

Concierge

Finding the right builder is everything when it comes to your dream home.
Meeting several builders in short, focused 20-minute sessions is the best way to discover one you can really trust.
Even just realizing “this company feels better than the last” is a huge step forward!

Mom and Dad

Now THAT’S nice!
No point sitting through long pitches from companies that don’t fit us!

Gussan

Coordinating days off as a couple was such a struggle for us — busy parents, please definitely come!

Concierge

Here are some scenes from events we’ve held in other regions.

Two Consultation Courses to Choose From

Concierge

We offer two consultation courses depending on where you are in your home-buying journey.
Plus, everyone who attends a consultation gets an Amazon Gift Card (*) as a thank-you!

Mom and Dad

Choices are great! ♪
Wonder how much the Amazon Gift Card (*) will be? ♡

Gussan

An Amazon Gift Card (*) AND parking covered? That alone is a steal!

Concierge

Want to compare options in one go? This is the one!
★Time-Efficient 3-Company Combined Consultation Course
• Companies: 3
• Duration: 60 minutes

Amazon Gift Card (*): 5,000 yen!

Concierge

Just starting to think about it? Begin here!
★Try It First! 1-Company Sample Course
• Companies: 1
• Duration: 20 minutes

Amazon Gift Card (*): 1,000 yen!

Mom and Dad

Since we’re still on the fence, the Sample Course sounds perfect for us! ♪
1,000 yen for just 20 minutes? That’s better than my husband’s hourly wage! lol
But what if we want to hear from more companies after — is that not allowed on the Sample Course?

Concierge

Not at all — additional consultations are absolutely possible.
That said, the ability to compare multiple companies in one go has been a huge hit, so the Combined Consultation Course is filling up fast!

Mom and Dad

Then we don’t have to rush into the Combined Course — phew! ♪
But that 5,000 yen Amazon Gift Card (*) is hard to pass up though…

Gussan

Totally get it.
