Memorandum (覚書) maker

Enter the parties and the clauses to change. The tool builds a Japanese-style memorandum with the term and the link to the original contract, as a PDF or Word file, in Japanese, English or both, and shows whether Japanese stamp duty is likely.

Names, addresses and clause text are sent only to build the preview, PDF and Word file. They are not stored and never appear in the URL.

This builds a general template and is not legal advice. Ask a lawyer about individual cases, and the tax office about stamp duty.
