ULTAROU Inc. (Head Office: Toda City, Saitama Prefecture, President: Kenta Nakajima), which operates the junk house and messy room cleaning and unwanted item removal service "OKATASHI!", launched the "Easy Fee Simulator" (https://okatashi.co.jp/simulator/) in July 2026, which provides an estimated cost in 30 seconds simply by selecting the floor plan and amount of trash.
The diagnostic results can be sent directly via LINE, and by combining them with photos of the room, you can receive an estimate closer to the actual situation anonymously. This aims to resolve the industry's lack of transparency where "you don't know the cost until you inquire," and to create an environment where those hesitant to request services can grasp an approximate cost beforehand.
Background: Cost Opacity is a Reason for Not Requesting Services
In the junk house cleaning and unwanted item removal industry, troubles with businesses that claim "free estimates" but then charge exorbitant fees after the work is done are endless. According to the National Consumer Affairs Center, consultations regarding unwanted item removal services exceeded 2,000 cases in fiscal year 2021, and the center has repeatedly issued warnings (※).
On the other hand, since the condition of each room varies, many businesses do not even disclose an estimated cost. Many inquiries received by OKATASHI include voices like "I couldn't request a service for years because I didn't know how much it would cost," indicating that the opacity of pricing itself has been a major barrier to starting the cleanup.

Features of the "Easy Fee Simulator" (https://okatashi.co.jp/simulator/)
- Just Select, Estimate Displayed in 30 Seconds: By simply selecting the floor plan, volume of items (how much of the floor is visible), building conditions, options, and whether there are items for purchase, an estimated fee based on past construction実績 and "common fee ranges" will be displayed on the spot.
- Diagnostic Results Can Be Forwarded to LINE, More Detailed with Photos: The diagnostic results can be copied with a single tap and sent directly via LINE. When sent along with photos of the room, an estimate closer to the actual situation than the simulator will arrive anonymously within 24 hours. There is no persistent sales activity.
- Installment Payments and Deferred Payments Also Supported: Options for installment payments up to 60 times with 0 yen down payment and deferred payments are available, offering choices to those who had given up on cleaning due to financial circumstances.
Copy the diagnostic results to LINE. Sending them with photos of the room will provide an estimate closer to the actual situation.
Representative's Comment (Kenta Nakajima, President, ULTAROU Inc.)
"Cleaning up a junk house is a service where many people struggle alone for years due to two anxieties: 'embarrassment' and 'fear of the cost.'
We want to at least resolve the anxiety about money before they even inquire. Not hiding the prices is also a declaration of our commitment. We want to change the industry standard in a more transparent direction."
