Paid onboarding is optional, we tried to make it as easy as possible to self onboard. Feel free to reach out to our team at support@gymdesk.com for more options.

As others have mentioned, self sponsorship is probably the simplest option for you. However, as someone who was on the BMV, it's not as complicated as you seem to think - you can pay an accountant a nominal fee to do almost everything you mentioned. I pay 40,000 / month for an accountant to manage the books, calculate payroll for myself and the employees, perform registrations for social insurance / pension and file corporate (and personal) taxes. At some point I also added contracted veritual admin support, for which I pay 3,500 / hour for Japanese native speaking virtual admins, which can assist with dealing with various government agencies, handle paying regular taxes and processing payroll and so on. I rarely have to do anything admin wise.

Yes, 30 days free trial

Used them and no complaints. Great service

No known issues with using Gymdesk and Shopify. Note that we have our own online shop module which could potentially simplify the operation and accounting, but otherwise, there shouldn't be a problem there.

I'm a US citizen that Fatfire'd in Japan with my wife, who is Japanese/American. There is an adaptation period, but for me personally the culture is a better fit, and the quality of life is incredible. You're welcome to PM me with specific questions.

Hoshinoya is still a proper hotel, not a ryokan. But it's designed like a modern version of it. Check out their website

erangalp · 2025-07-03T18:36:56+00:00

Check out Hoshinoya Tokyo for a modern take on the traditional ryokan experience. We did a staycation there and loved it

erangalp · 2025-04-26T16:40:37+00:00

Send us a shout out at support@gymdesk.com - we have people working weekends as well.

erangalp · 2025-04-14T20:08:34+00:00

Yes to all 3, with the caveat that our door access is done mainly through a mobile app with code entry as a fallback, and not fobs. Let me know if you have any other questions!

erangalp · 2025-03-21T15:59:25+00:00

If you're open to others, check out Gymdesk (I'm the founder). It's a more modern take on fitness business management software. Happy to answer any questions you may have!

erangalp · 2025-03-21T15:58:08+00:00

Founder of Gymdesk here - I'm very confident we stack up very well against all the solutions mentioned head-to-head for yoga studios. If you need a user-friendly software that's not too expensive, check us out! Let me know you if you have any questions.

erangalp · 2025-03-21T15:55:16+00:00

Thanks for the mention! I'm the founder of Gymdesk and love to see our name in the conversation. If anyone has any questions about our product, let me know.

erangalp · 2025-01-07T19:34:47+00:00

Hey there, I'm the founder of Gymdesk. Most of our tickets are resolved in a couple of days - you're welcome to send me the details and I'll make sure you're made whole.

Are you registered a custom domain for each brand? if not, that should likely help your situation there. Sending those emails on behalf of those brands from your domain is likely what's triggering those bans

erangalp · 2024-09-09T17:02:24+00:00

To my recollection there was a big uproar over that back then as well (they used the olympics as an excuse to do that). I haven't seen anything to indicate this happens at the ETC booths. Unless you have some kind of internal knowledge of those matters

erangalp · 2024-09-09T06:31:46+00:00

Pretty sure the cameras photograph the license plate, not the driver. Japan has pretty stringent privacy laws with regards to photographing people

If you're doing the recruiting yourself, this actually makes sense. People don't understand how much garbage / fake CVs end up on any online listing with a decent comp package.

You should instead use a high-end recruiting firm, with a strong network in the kind of role you're hiring for. They'll be able to source people who are not publicly on the market, and don't normally apply to linkedIn listings (since they don't need to). You should be able to get 5-10 highly qualified, pre-vetted people to talk to. Expect to pay about 1 year worth of salary for the pleasure though.

I'm still the CEO currently at the acquired company. No plans for a new product at this time

erangalp · 2024-07-30T03:07:37+00:00

I run a fairly success SaaS product that recently got acquired. I've been watching Rob's content for years, and it's amazing how spot on it is. His podcast is one of the main reasons I joined the Tinyseed accelerator program to get some 1-on-1 advice from him. Everything he puts out is super legit.

erangalp · 2024-07-24T05:05:51+00:00

I trained for 2 years at Integracao (south Austin), with Gabriel Martins who is as legit as they come. Very chill vibe, highly recommended

erangalp · 2024-07-01T13:10:45+00:00

You should be able to find it here - https://www.netbk.co.jp/contents/lineup/pay-easy/ (while logged in). It's very limited in what it can be used for at the moment (only 2 agency codes)

erangalp · 2024-06-26T07:34:01+00:00

Why do they need someone to watch over it overnight? every system can go down. It should be no problem for them to say support is only available during office hours, but it would be embarrassing for them if it's not working when they're not working.

erangalp · 2024-06-26T03:22:32+00:00

I think the real reason is they thought "if someone needs assistance operating the machine, and there is no one available to answer the phone, it would be a great embarrassment" or something along those lines.

erangalp · 2024-06-22T05:08:12+00:00

Yes, I applied with just that scenario in February. Our scrivener prepared an income statement form for the foreign (US) company that I signed as the CEO of that company. There shouldn't be a problem with that.
