Re:
SYLA
Technologies Co., Ltd.
Amendment
No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form F-1
Filed
February 23, 2023
File
No. 333-268420
Dear
Sir or Madam:
We
have electronically filed herewith on behalf of SYLA Technologies Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) Pre-Effective Amendment
No. 6 to the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form F-1 (“Amendment No. 6 to Form F-1”). Amendment No. 6
to Form F-1 is marked to show changes made from the previous filing made on February 23, 2023 (the “Prior Filing”).
We have included a narrative response herein keyed to the comments of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”)
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in the Staff’s comment letter to Hiroyuki Sugimoto,
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, dated March 13, 2023. We trust you shall deem the contents of this letter responsive to your
comment letter.
Amendment
No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed February 23, 2023
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
Results
of Operations
Comparison
of results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
Net
Income, page 71
1.
Comment: We
note the addition of the Recent Developments section on page 64. Please tell us your consideration for further revising your
disclosure to discuss the reason for the fluctuation in either Income before income taxes or Net Income, including a discussion
quantifying the mining business’s contribution, in your comparison of results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021.
Response: In response
to the Staff’s comment, we have respectfully added discussion of the reason for the fluctuation in net income, including a
discussion quantifying the mining business’s contribution, in our management’s discussion and analysis for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

to Financial Statements, page F-1
2.
Comment:
We have reviewed your response to our prior comment 2. We continue to believe that pro forma financial information related
to the disposition of your mining machine business is required since it would provide disclosure that would be material to investors.
Please revise to include pro forma financial statements for the appropriate periods, in accordance with Rule 11-01(a)(8) of Regulation
S-X.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, we have respectfully included the unaudited pro forma financial statements (i) in “Summary
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”, a section after “Selected Consolidated Financial Information
and Operating Data”, and (ii) in “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” section, a section
before “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. We included
an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and an unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 in each section. We did not include statement of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 2021 or for the year ended December 31, 2021 as the Company acquired SYLA Brain Co., Ltd. On December 31, 2021 and did
not generate any revenue or net income from mining machine business prior to January 1, 2022.
In
addition, we acknowledged the Staff’s previous comment of discontinued operation and we made further assessment and concluded the
disposition of the mining machine business constituted a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations
and financial results. We will include discontinued operation presentation in our financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2022 as the held for sale criteria is met in December 2022.
If
the Staff has any further comments regarding Pre-Effective Amendment No. 6 to the registration statement on Form F-1, or any subsequent
amendments to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1, please feel free to contact the undersigned.
