About This Service
OverviewGenuine dignity, made accessible
Footman is our most accessible service, delivering high-quality hospitality by certified butlers who trained rigorously at the Japan Butler Association and accumulated practical experience.
Unlike ordinary housekeeping or personal assistance, a butler brings anticipatory care from the client’s perspective, situational judgment, and dignified bearing. Footman lets you experience the refined hospitality that ordinary service staff cannot provide.
For home parties and business events especially, a butler’s presence elevates the occasion. Through attentive care, smooth facilitation, and discreet yet reliable service, the host can relax and enjoy the moment.

Fully Customizable
From party preparation and cleanup to guest reception, meal service, and beverage service, we tailor the content to your needs. Entrust all necessary support to us.
