HOME » Blog » [Customer's voice] Opening a restaurant in Da Nang! Why did Mr. Nagano, who moved with his family, choose our company?
Update: 10/ 3/2025
Doing business in Da Nang or moving abroad is a dream for many people, but the first step, finding a place to live, can be a big worry.
"What about the language barrier?" "What's the safety of the area like?" "How do I find a property suitable for my business?"
This time, we interviewed Nagano, who overcame those anxieties and is preparing to move to Da Nang with his family and open a Taiwanese restaurant. We asked him why he chose Da Nang out of the many cities in Southeast Asia, how he chose our company, Da Nang Villa Realty, to find a property, and his real-life experience using our services.

Name:Mr. Nagano
Background:Originally from Osaka Prefecture, he ran a restaurant in Fukuoka Prefecture before moving to Da Nang with his family (himself, his wife, and their children).
Upcoming events:Plan to open a Taiwanese restaurant in Da Nang city.
Q1: First of all, could you tell us how you came to move to Da Nang?
Answer : I've always loved Southeast Asia and wanted to open my own restaurant someday. My favorite country is Thailand, but I felt that the food and beverage industry there was already fierce competition. Vietnam, on the other hand, still had plenty of business opportunities, and I was attracted to its future growth potential, which was what initially drew me to it.
At first, I considered Ho Chi Minh City, but when I thought about the environment for raising children, I was concerned about the issue of exhaust fumes. In contrast, Da Nang is a city, but it is also rich in nature and has clean air. I felt it would be a good environment for children, so I decided to move there.
Question 2: Now that you've actually lived there, how do you feel about living in Da Nang?
Answer : Overall, I really like Da Nang. It has a laid-back atmosphere and the people are kind. Of course, for better or worse, there are some "careless" or easygoing aspects (laughs). Sometimes people say one thing and do another, and sometimes you'll be surprised by the people, but that's the same everywhere. Overall, it's a very livable city.
Question 3 : What was the most important thing to you when searching for a property?
Answer : "Location." We were looking for a property that could be used not only as a place to live but also as a store, so it had to be a location that could be used for business. We wanted a lively area with lots of local people coming and going.

-I'm really looking forward to opening a Taiwanese restaurant in Da Nang!
Japanese food requires the use of Japanese seasonings, which inevitably increases the cost. In that respect, Taiwanese food can produce an authentic flavor using ingredients and seasonings available in Vietnam, so I thought I could offer delicious food while keeping the price down.
Question 4: What made you decide to use our services and what was your first impression?
Answer : The deciding factor was the "sense of security that comes from being Japanese"
My first impression was simply, "It's amazing!"We never would have found this property on our own.So I'm really grateful.
At first, I thought it would be fine to use another real estate agent who could communicate in English. However, to be able to accurately communicate the finer nuances of money, such as rent and contract details, it was extremely reassuring to be able to speak Japanese. Just having Japanese staff on hand was really reassuring.
"Fast" and "reliable" support that far exceeded expectations
Question 5: What was particularly good about our support?
Answer : Quick response. When I contacted them, they responded quickly and dealt with my issue right away, which was really helpful.
What surprised me was that they even helped me with things that weren't directly related to property hunting, and gave me friendly advice. It went far beyond the scope of the intermediary service I had expected. I really relied on them.

Question 6: If you had to describe our service in three words, what would they be?
Answer : I agree..."Safe" and "Quick",and"reliable!"is.
Question 7 : Thank you! If your friends are looking for a property in Da Nang, could you introduce us to them?
Answer : Of course!
