Japan’s Real Estate Market Is Hard to Navigate so leave that to us

Japan’s real estate market can feel like a jungle compared to The United States or Europe. There’s no single unified MLS system, listings are scattered across hundreds of local agencies, and many properties never appear online. Most information is only in Japanese, details like taxes, floor plans, and land rights are often hard to find, and rules change depending on the prefecture. For foreign buyers, it can feel impossible to know where to start — which is exactly why Japan Home Hoshi exists: to guide you through the maze and make the search simple.

Thank you for choosing Japan Home Hoshi as your go-to newsletter for home listings and information across Japan.
