# Japan Care Concierge

> English-first consultation and coordination service for elder care, medical visits, and daily life in Japan. Operated with the care-service experience of Social Welfare Corporation Shinkou Fukushikai (Kanagawa, established 1999), whose care services include Cross Heart. For foreign seniors living in Japan, families abroad supporting a parent in Japan, and people relocating to Japan with elderly parents. Not an emergency, medical, insurance, or direct care provider service.

Bilingual site (English/Japanese). Consultations and planning can begin online from Japan or abroad; on-the-ground coordination is Kanagawa-centered and assessed case by case elsewhere.
