Mitake Administrative Scrivener Office

Mitake Administrative Scrivener Office (みたけ行政書士合同事務所) is a Japanese administrative scrivener (gyosei shoshi) firm headquartered in Higashiyamato City, Tokyo. It is led by representative Ayumi Mitake, a registered administrative scrivener affiliated with the Tokyo Administrative Scrivener Association (Tachikawa branch) and the Japan Federation of Administrative Scrivener Associations. The office is located on the second floor of the Green Building 2, a two-minute walk from Higashiyamato City Hall. The firm positions itself around two core practice areas. The first is end-of-life planning and inheritance (shukatsu and sozoku), covering will drafting, voluntary guardianship, post-death affairs delegation, decluttering of personal belongings, and inheritance procedures. The second is support for foreign nationals, including visa and status-of-residence applications, permanent residency, naturalization, and international inheritance matters. The office emphasizes multilingual service and information accessibility, using communication support tools so that foreign residents and deaf or hard-of-hearing clients can consult with confidence. It also offers online consultations nationwide, with same-day appointments possible in some cases. A distinctive feature of the firm is its focus on single people and couples without close family support, as well as on the aging foreign resident population in Japan. It collaborates with a network of professionals including certified organizing advisors and judicial scriveners to provide end-to-end support from pre-death decluttering to post-death administrative tasks. The office publishes transparent fee schedules on its website, with initial consultations charged at 5,000 yen for up to two hours (excluding consumption tax), refundable if the client formally engages the firm. Ayumi Mitake's background is unusual for the profession: before becoming an administrative scrivener, she ran Japan's first hula hoop studio from 2007 and is a Tokyo-certified street performer. She has cited the COVID-19 pandemic, during which many performers lost work and struggled with support grant applications, as a direct motivation for entering the administrative scrivener field. She has also stated that her work is driven by a desire to contribute to a better society for the next generation and to resist discrimination and exclusionism in Japan.

Mitake Administrative Scrivener Office is a relatively young administrative scrivener firm based in Higashiyamato City, Tokyo. Its representative, Ayumi Mitake, came to the profession from an unconventional background. According to the firm's website, she ran Japan's first hula hoop studio starting in 2007 and is also a Tokyo-certified street performer (Heaven Artist). She is a graduate of the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Letters, Department of Religious Studies. Mitake has stated that the direct trigger for her decision to become an administrative scrivener was the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, many performers in her circle suddenly lost their venues and income, and struggled with unfamiliar paperwork for support grants; some gave up on applying altogether. She felt this was unreasonable and believed that specialists should handle what they are good at. Indirectly, she also cited having a child later in life, which prompted her to think about the society she would leave to the next generation, and reaching an age where she began to consider her own end-of-life preparations. She chose foreign resident visa and naturalization support as one of her main practice areas as a personal stand against what she describes as accelerating discrimination and exclusionism in Japanese society. She has also expressed the view that Japan lacks sufficient sovereign and human rights education, and that many people suffer disadvantages in Japan's application-based administrative system because of a lack of fundamental understanding of their rights. She cites Article 1 of the Administrative Scrivener Act, which states that the purpose of the law is to contribute to the realization of the rights and interests of the people. The firm operates from an office in Higashiyamato City, a two-minute walk from the city hall, and offers online consultations nationwide. It has built a professional network including certified organizing advisors and judicial scriveners to support clients from pre-death decluttering through post-death administrative procedures. The firm's service menu includes end-of-life planning (wills, ending notes, voluntary guardianship, post-death affairs delegation), inheritance procedures (heir investigation, asset investigation, inheritance division agreements, will execution), foreign resident support (status of residence applications, naturalization), and various permits and licenses (construction business, secondhand dealer).
