A three-story home in Ikuno Ward, Osaka City is now for sale!🏯🇯🇵

Built in 1997 (29 years old), this property underwent a full renovation in April 2026 and is move-in ready.

The nearest stations are JR Teradacho Station and Momodani Station, offering convenient access to central Osaka.

The house features steel-frame construction, which generally offers greater durability and long-term value compared to wooden structures.

As a three-story home, it provides generous living space and flexible layout options to suit your lifestyle. Plus, there is free on-site parking, which is a great bonus in the city.

Whether you’re looking for a comfortable residence or an investment property, this home is an excellent opportunity thanks to its prime location and versatility.

Can you buy a home in Japan remotely?🏠

I’ll explain the process in detail for cases where you can’t come to Japan right away to sign the contract and complete the purchase.

Buying a home remotely requires extra preparation and coordination to ensure everything goes smoothly, but my team has extensive experience supporting remote transactions and can guide you through the process with confidence 😊👍

If you’re interested in completing the entire purchase fully remotely, it’s definitely possible :)

A beautiful traditional-style 7LDK home in Bizen, Okayama is now for sale!

Built in 1997, this home is relatively modern by Japanese standards and is currently 29 years old. Both the house and land are spacious, offering plenty of room to enjoy comfortable living. The property sits on 177 sqm of land, complete with a garden and parking space, while the two-story house itself is 215 sqm.

The interior has been very well maintained, requiring only minor updates.

Conveniently located, there is a bus stop just a 4-minute walk away, and the nearest train station can be reached in 30 minutes on foot.

Daily amenities are also close by, with a convenience store only 3 minutes away on foot and a supermarket just 6 minutes away by car.

Here’s how you make an offer on a property in Japan.🇯🇵

There is a document called a purchase offer form (買付証明書, kaitsuke shōmeisho). You submit this document to the seller to express your intention to purchase the property.

If you don’t speak or write Japanese, your real estate agent will fill it out on your behalf.

The timing of your offer is important, as priority is usually given to the person who submits their offer first.

I hope this helps—and that you’ll have the chance to make an offer in Japan someday!🏠✨

Thank you so much for your lovely review :)💌

They had already done their own research and selected a few homes they were interested in before contacting me. The purchasing process was a bit complicated due to the seller, but thanks to their patience and understanding—as well as the efforts of the listing agent—we were able to complete everything smoothly.

What impressed me the most is how well they have connected with their neighbors. Nowadays, even many Japanese people don’t have deep relationships with those around them, but they are truly enjoying their community and building meaningful connections.

They’ve shared some photos of their life in the home with me, which makes me very happy. I hope to visit their beautiful home in nature someday. Wishing you all the very best!🍀

Can you negotiate property prices in Japan? 🏠🇯🇵

Yes, you can.😊

But there are a few things you should know before negotiating with a seller — as I mentioned in the video.

If you really want the house, it’s often better to make a full-price offer — especially for popular properties that sell fast.

That said, negotiation can still be part of the process.
As a buyer’s agent, I always say: if the seller is open, it’s worth giving it a try.

What is a Non-Rebuildable House?

I get this question quite often.

In Japan, it’s called “saikenchiku fuka” (再建築不可) — meaning you cannot rebuild a house once it’s demolished.

This is an important concept when buying property in Japan, as it directly affects land value and financing. In many cases, banks won’t approve a mortgage for these properties.

Personally, 2 out of the 3 properties I’ve purchased are non-rebuildable. So they’re not always a bad option — but it’s crucial to understand the risks and decide if it aligns with your goals.

Feel free to DM me if you’re curious about these types of properties in Japan.✨🏠
