Investment property: Japan

We act on the buyer's side: shortlist, checks, end-to-end deal support.

Japan is one of Asia's most open markets for foreigners: property and land can be bought freehold regardless of citizenship or visa status, with no permits required. The main investment focus is Tokyo and Osaka with their vast rental demand, alongside growing interest in resort destinations such as Niseko and Okinawa. One feature of the market to understand: residential buildings in Japan depreciate over time, and value is held primarily by land and location. Buying property grants neither a visa nor residency - living in Japan requires separate grounds, such as a business manager visa.

We select properties to match your goal - rental income in the major cities, a resort asset or yen diversification, verify legal title and building condition, support the transaction with local judicial scriveners, and help with ownership structuring and remote property management. If you are considering relocation, we will honestly explain which visa routes exist and how property can support a business case.

FAQ

Can a foreigner buy property in Japan?
Yes, entirely freely. Foreigners can buy property and land freehold regardless of citizenship or visa, with no permits required. It is one of the most open jurisdictions in Asia.
Does buying property in Japan grant residency?
No. Property ownership has no effect on visa status. Living in Japan requires separate grounds: employment, business (the business manager visa), study or family. Investment property can form part of a business case but does not itself grant a visa.
Where do I start?
By choosing a strategy: rental income in Tokyo or Osaka, a resort property, or capital preservation in yen. Contact us and we will explain the market's particularities, including building depreciation, and prepare a shortlist.
