About
Since our founding in 1964, we have always been able to create a more comfortable life between Yamato City and the local Chuorinkan area with “Trust, Kindness, and Reliability” as our motto.
Today, the number of sales of detached houses and residential land has increased, and we have been able to obtain great trust from local Yamato City, especially Chuorinkan.
Now, Mizushima Shoji provides international customers with English service to help find a new home.
