Thank you for visiting.
I am Hiromasa Hayashi, President of Axis Global Corp.
I have spent a long career in real estate, working mainly in investment, development, transactions and advisory in Japan.
That work has spanned property development, distressed debt investment, fund investment into Japanese real estate, investment banking, and brokerage both in Japan and overseas.
In fund investment into Japanese real estate in particular, I have been involved in more than JPY 200 billion of transactions, covering sourcing and acquisition, investment analysis, due diligence, lender negotiation, investor proposals, asset management and disposal.
Across offices, rental housing, retail facilities and development land, what that experience taught me was not simply how to introduce an attractive property.
It was how to analyse location, yield, asset value, future potential, risk, financing and exit strategy together, and to judge whether a property is genuinely worth investing in.
That judgement is what I have valued most throughout my career.
Inheritance and succession consulting is another area of focus, supported by my qualification as a Real Estate Consulting Master and years of practice.
Real estate plays a central role in succession planning. Whether to pass a property to the next generation as it stands, sell it, convert it into income-producing assets, or put it to better use calls for a judgement that takes in both the assets and the family’s future.
Working with tax accountants and other specialists, we propose property strategies suited to inheritance and succession.
Since founding Axis Global Corp. in 2018, I have drawn on that experience and on networks in Japan and abroad to serve Japanese companies, institutional investors, developers and private investors.
Going forward, Japanese real estate remains the centre of our business, built on the four decades of experience behind it.
Rather than passing on listings, we ask whether a property is worth investing in, which investor it suits, how its returns can be improved, and what exit is realistic.
We cover needs ranging from corporate, institutional and developer investment to private income property, and to the sale, purchase or restructuring of property in the course of succession.
We also actively support overseas investors and overseas capital entering the Japanese market, using the experience and networks we have built abroad.
In April 2025 we acquired LSM Realty Inc., headquartered near Los Angeles, California, so that brokerage, escrow and loan services in the United States can be provided within our own group.
Holding an operating base in the U.S. while keeping Japan at the centre of our business lets us understand both markets and connect investors with property across them.
More than forty years in real estate, and involvement in over JPY 200 billion of Japanese property investment.
We bring that experience to every mandate, and continue to support our clients’ assets over the long term with reliable information, sound judgement and honest dealing.
We look forward to earning your trust.
Axis Global Corp.
