Fudokan

What Fudokan does

Fudokan (フドカン) is a cloud-based real estate management SaaS service operated by 合同会社ACRE (Godo Kaisha ACRE), a private limited liability company (godo kaisha) established on August 18, 2023, and headquartered in Koto-ku, Tokyo, Japan. The platform is purpose-built for individual landlords (個人大家さん) — typically side-business or self-managing property owners — and centralizes property information, tenant records, contract management, rent collection, and maintenance tracking into a single unified system, supplemented by a companion mobile application.

The product is delivered as a tiered subscription SaaS with three plans: Standard at ¥980/month (up to 100 property units, no auto-input), Premium at ¥3,980/month (up to 500 units with limited auto-input), and Professional at ¥6,980/month (up to 1,000 units with full auto-input for property records, contracts, and receipts/invoices). All plans include a first-month free trial, and payment is processed via credit card. The platform incorporates AI-driven features including tenant suitability screening, automated rent collection, contract renewal notifications, maintenance scheduling, and AI-recommended vacancy countermeasures (rent pricing and renovation plans). Underlying technology centers on structured data management (property, tenant, contract, and financial records) and text-based automation workflows, exposed through a web dashboard and mobile app.

The go-to-market motion is product-led growth: customers self-register through the company's website (fudokan.net), discover the service via an SEO-heavy blog and column content strategy, and convert without a sales call. The company is bootstrapped and founder-led by representative Shinya Izuyama (伊豆山慎弥), with no disclosed venture funding, no enterprise sales motion, and operations confined to the Japanese market. Registered capital is ¥2,000,000, and no revenue, headcount, or customer count figures have been publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• AppFolio: US property management SaaS providing accounting, tenant screening, maintenance, and AI-driven workflows for residential and mixed-use property managers. Comparable on cloud SaaS architecture, AI workflow automation, and target SMB PM segment, although at a much larger enterprise scale.
• RentRedi: US SaaS built specifically for individual landlords and small rental property owners, with rent collection, tenant screening, lease management, and accounting. Closest US analog to Fudokan's individual-landlord focus and PLG-style self-service onboarding.
• Hemlane: US SaaS and service platform for individual and small landlords, providing tenant placement, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and accounting. Comparable on serving small landlords with combined software plus optional services.
• Stessa: US-based real estate investor financial tracking and rental management SaaS for individual landlords, offering income/expense dashboards, tax-ready reporting, and tenant tools. Comparable on landlord-centric financial visualization and dashboard value proposition.
• Buildium: US-based SaaS for residential property managers and small landlords, offering tenant screening, rent collection, accounting, and maintenance. Direct comparable to Fudokan on product category (residential PM SaaS for SMB/individual landlords) and tiered SaaS model, though serving the US market.
• ITANDI: Japanese rental property SaaS provider serving real estate agencies and landlords with tenant screening, electronic contracts, and rental management workflows. Comparable on Japan-market focus and rental management SaaS delivery, though ITANDI skews more toward agency-side customers.
• TurboTenant: US SaaS offering end-to-end property management for individual landlords and small portfolios, with free basic tier, online rent collection, listing syndication, and tenant screening. Comparable on the free/affordable entry tier targeting the individual landlord segment.
• いえらぶ (iela): Japanese real estate cloud platform offering property management, CRM, and listing tools for brokerages and rental managers. Comparable as a Japan-based cloud PM SaaS serving SMB real estate operators, although iela focuses more on brokerage workflows than Fudokan's individual-landlord focus.
• WealthPark: Japanese proptech SaaS providing real estate asset management and investor reporting for individual and institutional landlords in Japan. Most direct comparable to Fudokan on target customer (Japanese landlords), language (Japanese), and SaaS delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Yardi: US enterprise property management software suite serving large residential, commercial, and mixed-use operators. Comparable as a cloud PM platform competitor at the enterprise end of the market — relevant context for the broader proptech landscape Fudokan operates in, though not directly competing for Fudokan's SMB individual-landlord segment.
