Comment BUY to learn how to choose the right area in Japan.

One of the biggest mistakes buyers make is focusing on the house instead of the location.

The same budget can buy completely different lifestyles depending on where you’re looking.

Some areas are perfect for vacation homes. Others work better for Airbnb. And some are simply easier to own and maintain.

That’s why one of the first questions we ask isn’t “What house do you want?”

It’s “What kind of lifestyle do you want?”

The right house in the wrong area can be a mistake. The right area can make almost any property a great purchase.

Comment BUY to learn more about purchasing property in Japan.

These two houses cost the same, but one is worth a lot more.

The difference? The land.

One is freehold, meaning you own the house and land.

The other is leasehold, meaning you own the house but rent the land underneath it.

Most buyers focus on the house. Smart buyers check what they’re actually buying.

Comment JAPAN and we’ll send you our buyer’s guide.

Before you get excited about a cheap home in Japan, you need to know the 1981 Rule.

In 1981, Japan introduced stricter earthquake building standards. Homes built after 1981 generally meet these newer requirements, while older homes may not.

That $30,000 property might look like a great deal, but if major seismic upgrades are needed, renovation costs can add up quickly.

That doesn’t mean you should avoid pre-1981 homes. Some have already been reinforced, and others still make financial sense.

The key is understanding what you’re buying before you fall in love with the price tag.

It’s one of the first things we check when evaluating a property.

Can foreigners buy property in Japan?

The short answer is yes.

You do not need Japanese citizenship, permanent residency, or even a visa to purchase property in Japan. You can legally own both the home and the land as a foreigner.

We’ve helped hundreds of buyers from around the world purchase property in Japan, many of whom were not residents and did not have Japanese visas.

People often ask if this will change in the future. The honest answer is nobody knows.

But as of today, foreigners can still buy property in Japan with the same ownership rights as Japanese citizens.
