Sense check on Accountant Fees

TLDR: quoted 80万円 to complete tax return as appointed tax agent.

I'm going to be leaving Japan for 2 years for a contract overseas, so need to appoint a tax agent. My tax return for this year is also going to be complicated enough that I don't really want to do it myself:

Main aspect is that I sold apartment for good capital gains (exceeding the 3000万円 primary residence exemption, but under 5 years so taxed at 30% national + 9% municipal). I also cleared out NISA before leaving to avoid tax residence issues. I have very low overseas assets.

Of course I did this last minute, we leave end of next week, so I need to get to NTA to submit Tax Agent form etc.

Is this fee reasonable? One negotiation I will ask him is to complete my partners return included in the price, his will be exceedingly easy since he was company employee until April and they did not complete adjustment, so just needs a return at the beginning of next year.
