Many households in Japan do a big clean before the New Year (年末の大掃除, nenmatsu no osoji). In Hiroshima, the hard jobs are the air conditioner, the range hood (the fan over the stove) and the bathroom, and many people hire a company. This guide compares three companies for those jobs: Duskin Service Master, Osoji Honpo and Kajitaku. It shows official prices, how many shops each has in Hiroshima Prefecture, parking charges and when to book. All prices include tax.
In short
- One wall-mounted air conditioner (no self-cleaning function): ¥14,300 at Osoji Honpo, ¥15,400 at Duskin, and ¥9,700 to ¥11,880 at Kajitaku, depending on the plan.
- Range hood and bathroom: ¥18,700 at Osoji Honpo, ¥19,580 at Kajitaku, and ¥22,000 at Duskin (the base price; larger jobs cost more).
- Duskin has 18 shops in Hiroshima Prefecture and Osoji Honpo has 28. Kajitaku sells at one price across Japan, so it has no shop list for Hiroshima.
- The official pages we read for all three companies are in Japanese and say nothing about English. None gives a year-end booking deadline.

5. What matters when you choose in Hiroshima?
Depends on the company
Two company types are in this guide. Duskin and Osoji Honpo work through local shops, so the shop that covers your address gives the schedule and price. Kajitaku sells at one price in every area. Shop numbers differ a lot by city, and many households in Hiroshima Prefecture drive, so parking is worth checking too.
- Shops near you: Fukuyama City has 6 Osoji Honpo shops and 2 Duskin shops. Hiroshima City has 11 of each. Kure City has 2 Osoji Honpo shops and no Duskin shop on the list.
- Higashihiroshima City and Kure City: Higashihiroshima City has 3 Osoji Honpo shops and 2 Duskin shops. If you live in Kure City and want Duskin, ask whether a nearby shop will take your address.
- Parking: Kajitaku does not charge for parking. Duskin and Osoji Honpo say you may pay if the van cannot park, so tell them early if your home has no space.
- How prices show up: Duskin shows Hiroshima prices on a regional list. Osoji Honpo gives a quote through the shop. Kajitaku shows the price on the website.
- English: the official pages we read for all three companies are in Japanese and do not say whether English is available. Plan to book through the Japanese page or ask a Japanese speaker to help.
6. When should you book for the year-end?
Depends on the company
None of the three official pages gives a deadline for year-end bookings, so if you have a date in mind, ask for a quote or book early. Kajitaku says its cleaners work on weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from about 8:00 to 18:00, except during the New Year holiday period, and that a date can be full. Osoji Honpo sets the date by a phone call from the shop. Osoji Honpo’s air conditioner campaign ends on November 1, 2026.
The booking and estimate pages are in Japanese. If you use a browser translation tool to read them, check the date, the price and the work again on the final confirmation screen.
7. What should you check before you sign?
National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan
Important
In a notice of February 28, 2025, the National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan told people to get quotes from several companies and to check, before signing, whether insurance covers damage the work might cause. The notice includes a case where a cheap fan cleaning (¥5,000) led to a contract of about ¥600,000 after sales talk. It says you may refuse to sign if you do not accept the price or the explanation. It also advises asking the air conditioner maker about the cleaning method. If something goes wrong, call the consumer hotline 188, which connects you to a local consumer center. The notice does not say whether English is available.
