What's Jphome

JPhome is dedicated to carrying on the tradition of authentic Japanese architecture and construction.
In addition to repairing and renovating Japanese homes, we have constructed imported American homes in Japan through a joint agreement with a major supplier of American homes.
This has given us an understanding and appreciation of the fine construction and excellent design of American homes.
We realized anew that every country has its own excellent 'housing culture.'
We feel it is our duty to introduce Japanese housing construction and design to the rest of the world. To this end, we have assembled top-class Japanese 'toryo' (head carpenters) and artisans.
We are not a large company, but we have the skills that are the heart and soul of Japanese architecture. We invite you to experience the traditions and culture of Japan through our services.

We are currently seeking local American partners for our project to bring authentic Japanese architecture to the United States. If you are an American company with an interest in Japanese architecture, please contact Mr. Hayakumo directly at info@jphome.net.
