Asago Kominka Pre Retirement Actions

Asago Kominka — Pre-Retirement Actions

Outcome

• Have the family conversation about the property
• Research Asago subsidy programs
• Confirm Shiho's father's land-registration updates are completed before the in-laws pass
• File 農業委員会 notification + plan 暗渠排水 (2–3 yrs before planting) while in-laws are still registered farmers
