I was able to ask questions anytime, and thanks to their support, I smoothly obtained my license and successfully opened my restaurant. I highly recommend their services to anyone planning to open a restaurant in Japan.

Flexible Support for Our Unique Situation
During the opening process, construction schedules changed several times and unexpected issues occurred. Each time, Works Hub responded quickly and flexibly, always with a positive attitude. They carefully handled extra document requests and changes in submission methods. Even during peak season, they prioritized our timeline. We are very grateful to have such reliable professionals on our side.

Complete Aftercare Even After Licensing
Even after obtaining the license, there were extra notifications and questions from the health center. Every time, Works Hub offered prompt and thorough advice by phone and email. Their aftercare after submission and after opening was extremely helpful. Having a specialist to consult right away gave me great peace of mind.
