Recommendation of tax accountant

I am seeking a good tax accountant with expertise in cross-border issues. I have assets abroad and recently sold real property in a foreign country. While English proficiency is preferred, I have no problem communicating in Japanese. Expertise and competence are more important!
It may have been discussed in the past on this forum (I did not find much) but newcomers here may have some good recommendations.
Thank you in advance.

This question comes up regularly, but I don't remember seeing any good answers. What you are looking for seems somewhat elusive.

No recommendation...
Just a
list collected from this forum and and other sources, in no particular order...
...
Wow, thanks for that
list! You are always very thorough in your responses Tkydon. In case it helps anyone, I use Yamada Partners which has been good at handling my somewhat complicated US investments for Japanese taxes but I suspect may be a little expensive (my company pays for them). We communicate in Japanese but they handle my English investment documents without difficulty.

Yes. Thank you for that list.
Since it’s my first year filing Japan taxes here, any recommendations or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

“I recommend the latest Guide to Japanese Taxes, English and Japanese Tai-Yaku 対訳” There are no major changes, so the Publisher is not planning to publish an update for '22 Tax Season.
Any word on 2023 or are changes not common?

Thank you for this list, it has been very helpful.
I contacted all the most appropriate to my situation (not a US citizen, living in Japan for less than five years, only one job).
I have been very surprised with the cost, the two who quoted their price up front were between 150,000 yen and 210,000 yen. Those who asked questions and responded with a price were between the two of those as well.
Is my experience unique, or is that the going price for an accountant in Japan?

Big changes in 2023, but the publisher has elected not to publish an update for 2023 ;-(
