About Love Live Myoko
Love Live Myoko is a locally owned company dedicated to helping people buy, manage and enjoy property in Myoko, Japan. We combine local knowledge with practical experience to provide trusted support for homeowners, investors and visitors.
Our Story
Love Live Myoko was created to help overseas buyers navigate property ownership in Japan with clarity and confidence. Buying a property in a foreign country can feel complex, but having a knowledgeable, on-the-ground partner makes all the difference.
Our focus is on building genuine, long-term relationships rather than simply completing transactions. We understand that acquiring a mountain home or lodge is just the first step. Every client receives practical, hands-on support before, during, and long after their purchase, ensuring their property is well-cared for in every season.

Deep roots in the community and decades of practical experience living in Japan.
Founder David Bolwell has lived in Japan for approximately 25 years, with extensive experience living and working directly in Myoko and neighboring Joetsu.
Over the years, this has built a thorough, practical understanding of local government procedures, municipal regulations, building contractors, and essential regional services required for snow country property maintenance.
Our ongoing involvement in the Myoko community ensures that our clients benefit from genuine, authentic local insights backed by daily real-world presence.
