Initial consultations (whether in-person, phone or internet video) are ¥22,000 for the first hour or portion thereof, and ¥10,000 for each subsequent half-hour or portion thereof. IMPORTANT CHANGE: Initial consultation fees can no longer be applied towards the cost of preparing the return. I am sorry for the necessity of having to implement this change.
