Your Space, Reimagined

Transparent pricing for renovations that feel like coming home—before you even step inside.

The first time you walk into a room and it *breathes* with you—that's the moment we design for. Not just walls and floors, but the way morning light spills across hand-planed oak, the quiet hum of a hidden ventilation system, the scent of hinoki cypress in the bathroom. Our plans start at ¥3.2M, but the value? That's measured in the way your shoulders relax when you finally feel *settled*.

Three Ways to Begin

Choose the depth of transformation that matches your vision—and your timeline.

🏠

Essential Refresh

For renters and landlords who need to modernize without the full commitment. We replace outdated fixtures with silent Toto toilets, swap fluorescent lighting for warm LED panels, and lay durable yet elegant oak-look vinyl flooring that withstands pets and parties. The result? A space that photographs like a magazine spread but lives like your favorite sweater—comfortable, presentable, and ready for anything.

¥3.2M–¥5.8M

✨

Signature Renovation

The sweet spot for homeowners who crave personality without sacrificing resale value. We gut kitchens to create galley layouts with custom Shaker-style cabinets, install sound-absorbing insulation for peaceful nights, and incorporate subtle Japanese design elements like shoji-inspired room dividers. Every material—from the hand-troweled plaster walls to the brass cabinet pulls—is chosen to age gracefully, developing character like a well-loved book.

¥6.5M–¥12M

🌿

Full Reimagination

For those who see their home as a legacy. We reconfigure entire floor plans to create open-concept living areas bathed in natural light, install smart home systems that anticipate your needs, and source rare materials like 100-year-old kiso hinoki for bathrooms that feel like private onsen. The process takes 12–16 weeks, but the result is a space that doesn't just shelter you—it *restores* you, with every detail designed to soothe the senses.

Your Renovation, Your Numbers

No two renovations are alike, because no two lives are alike. Maybe you dream of a kitchen where the countertops stay cool to the touch, or a bedroom where the air always smells faintly of cedar. This calculator lets you explore those possibilities without commitment. Slide the square footage, toggle the material grades, and watch as your vision takes shape—not just in your mind, but in numbers you can plan around.

Square Footage

From compact 20m² studios to sprawling 120m² family homes. Every meter is an opportunity to create something extraordinary.

60m²

Room Types

Kitchens with hidden pantries. Bathrooms that double as steam rooms. Bedrooms with walk-in closets that feel like boutique hotels. Select the spaces that matter most to you.

Material Grade

Standard vinyl that mimics wood grain. Premium oak that's been air-dried for a decade. Or the rare, hand-selected hinoki that's been aging since your grandparents were children. The difference isn't just in the look—it's in the way it feels under your feet, in your hands, against your skin.

What's Included in Every Plan

The details that turn a renovation into a *home*—no matter which tier you choose.

📐

Initial Consultation

A 90-minute walkthrough with our lead designer, where we listen more than we talk. We'll measure your space, note the way light moves through it, and ask about the rhythms of your daily life—when you wake up, where you linger, what frustrates you.

3D Renderings

Before we lift a hammer, you'll step into your future home via photorealistic 3D models. See how the morning sun hits your new kitchen island, or how the hallway feels with a built-in bookshelf.

🌲

Material Sourcing

We don't just order from catalogs. Our team visits lumberyards in Nagano to select hinoki with the right grain, works with ceramicists in Bizen to commission custom tiles.

Renovations can feel like a black box, but we keep you in the loop with daily photos, videos, and notes from the site supervisor.

Post-Completion Walkthrough

The day we hand over the keys, we'll walk through your home together, testing every faucet, flipping every light switch, and admiring the way the space *feels*.

Pricing by Neighborhood

Your location shapes your renovation—from building regulations to material delivery costs.

A renovation in Shibuya's high-rise jungle requires different considerations than one in Setagaya's leafy suburbs. We've broken down our pricing by Tokyo's 23 wards, accounting for everything from parking fees for delivery trucks to the extra time it takes to navigate narrow alleys in Yanaka. Hover over your ward to see how your location affects your budget.

🏙️
+10–15%

Shibuya & Shinjuku

High-rise living means elevators with limited hours, noise restrictions, and premium material delivery costs. We optimize for tight spaces and vertical storage, with soundproofing that lets you sleep through the city's hum.

🏛️
+12–18%

Minato & Chiyoda

Luxury buildings with strict condo board rules require extra coordination, but the results are worth it. We specialize in high-end finishes like imported marble and custom millwork.

🌳
Base pricing

Setagaya & Suginami

Spacious apartments and houses allow for more creative layouts, like open-concept kitchens or walk-in closets. We take advantage of the extra square footage with built-in storage solutions.

🎨
+8–12%

Meguro & Nakameguro

Trendy neighborhoods call for designs that balance style and functionality. We incorporate statement lighting, bold tile patterns, and open shelving to create spaces that feel like a magazine spread.

🌊
+15–20%

Sumida & Koto

Waterfront properties require moisture-resistant materials and extra insulation to combat humidity. We use marine-grade finishes and mold-resistant drywall to protect your investment.

🏚️
Varies by project

Taito & Arakawa

Older buildings in these wards often have charming quirks—like sloped floors or uneven walls—that require creative solutions. We embrace the character of your home, blending modern amenities with traditional elements.

What Our Clients Say

Hear from those who've transformed their spaces—and their lives—with Willow Harbor Trail.

The best way to understand the value of a Willow Harbor Trail renovation is to hear from those who've experienced it. These aren't just testimonials—they're stories of homes that finally feel like *home*, of spaces that adapt to the way you live, and of the quiet confidence that comes from knowing your investment will last for decades.

We bought our 30-year-old apartment in Nakameguro thinking we'd renovate it ourselves—until we saw the scope of work. Willow Harbor Trail took our vague ideas and turned them into a home that feels like it was designed just for us. The way they incorporated our love of cooking into the kitchen, or the built-in window seat that's now my favorite spot to read—it's all so *thoughtful*. And the best part? We didn't have to lift a finger. The team handled everything, from permits to the final cleaning, so we could focus on the fun parts, like picking out tiles.

Hiroko Tanaka

Homeowner, Nakameguro
Project: Signature Renovation

As a landlord, I need renovations that attract high-quality tenants without breaking the bank. Willow Harbor Trail's Essential Refresh plan was the perfect solution. They replaced the outdated kitchen and bathroom, laid new flooring, and even added some smart storage solutions—all within my budget. The apartment rented within a week of the renovation being completed, and at a higher price than I expected. I've already booked them for my next property.

Kenji Sato

Property Investor, Shibuya
Project: Essential Refresh

Our family has lived in the same house in Setagaya for 20 years, but it never quite felt like *ours*. Willow Harbor Trail's Full Reimagination plan changed that. They reconfigured the entire first floor to create an open-concept living area, added a second bathroom, and even built a custom mudroom to corral our kids' sports gear. The materials they chose—like the hand-planed oak floors and the plaster walls—give the space a warmth we never had before. And the way they maximized natural light? It's like we added square footage without moving a single wall.

Yumi and Takeshi Kobayashi

Homeowners, Setagaya
Project: Full Reimagination

I was hesitant to renovate my rental apartment, but Willow Harbor Trail made the process so easy. Their team was respectful of my space, worked around my schedule, and even helped me choose finishes that would appeal to future tenants. The Essential Refresh plan was exactly what I needed—a fresh, modern look without the hassle of a full renovation. And the best part? My tenants love it. They've already signed a two-year lease, and I've had multiple inquiries from their friends who want to move in when it's available.

Aiko Nakamura

Landlord, Meguro
Project: Essential Refresh

We'd been putting off renovating our bathroom for years because we couldn't agree on a design. Willow Harbor Trail's designer listened to both of our ideas, then presented us with a solution that incorporated elements we both loved. The result is a spa-like retreat with a deep soaking tub, heated floors, and a hidden storage niche for toiletries. The attention to detail is incredible—like the way the light fixture casts a warm glow on the hinoki wood accents. It's the first place I go when I need to unwind after a long day.

Ryuichi and Emiko Fujita

Homeowners, Chiyoda
Project: Signature Renovation

Willow Harbor Trail didn't just renovate our home—they gave us a space that grows with us. We're empty nesters now, but they designed our home to be flexible enough to accommodate our grandchildren when they visit. The open-concept living area, the guest suite with a Murphy bed, the smart home features that make it easy to control the lights and temperature—it's all so well thought out. And the way they incorporated our art collection into the design? It feels like a gallery, but it's still our home.
