FAQ
-
What fire safety equipment is required?
Basic equipment includes smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, emergency exit signs, and emergency lighting. Requirements vary depending on the building structure, intended use, and the type of license (Ryokan or Minpaku). We recommend a site survey and consultation before installation.
-
How long does the installation take?
Typically 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the property. Priority scheduling is available for urgent cases. Please note that outdoor work may be restricted during winter due to snow and freezing conditions. Advance planning is highly recommended.
-
Do you offer multilingual support?
Yes, we support English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Our team is equipped to assist foreign property owners with clear and professional communication.
-
What happens if I operate without a license?
Operating without proper licensing under Japan’s Ryokan and Fire Safety laws is illegal and may result in penalties or forced closure. We strongly advise all property owners to comply with Japanese regulations and complete the necessary procedures. Please avoid unauthorized operations.
-
Is consultation and quotation free?
Yes, we offer free consultations and quotes year-round. You can contact us via LINE or WhatsApp anytime.
