Company profile

researched Aug 2026

AGE technologies (株式会社AGE technologies) is a Tokyo-based company whose stated mission is to support decision-making across generations and pass assets and intentions on to the next generation. It works to reduce information asymmetry around succession and to consolidate the complex processes involved in transferring assets.

Its main service is Souzoku.com (そうぞくドットコム), a web service through which inheritance procedures — including collection of documents such as family registers (koseki) and residence certificates, preparation of application forms and family trees, and submission to the Legal Affairs Bureau and banks — can be completed online, including name/title change procedures done via smartphone. In July 2026 the company launched a new brand, Meihen (メイヘン), which supports owners of inherited family homes from title transfer through to sale or paid takeover, positioned in relation to the inheritance registration (real-estate title transfer) requirement that became mandatory in Japan in April 2024.
