FAQ

General Questions

Can foreigners buy homes in Japan?

Yes! There are no restrictions on foreigners buying property in Japan, whether for personal use or investment. You don’t need a visa or residency status to purchase real estate.

Do I need a Japanese residency status or visa to own property?

No. Foreigners can buy and own property in Japan without living in the country. However, securing a mortgage may be difficult without residency.

Can I buy land in Japan as a foreigner?

Yes. Unlike some countries, Japan allows foreigners to purchase both land and buildings without restrictions.

What types of properties can foreigners buy?

You can buy:
- Residential homes (houses & condos)
- Investment properties (rental apartments, buildings)
- Commercial properties
- Land for development

What are the upfront costs when buying property in Japan?

In general, you should add about 6 to 8% on top of the property purchase price to cover fees such as brokerage fees, title registration fees, taxes, stamp duties, etc. You can download our Guide on How to Purchase a Home in Japan for more detailed information regarding other fees when purchasing property.

Financing & Mortgage Questions

Can foreigners get a mortgage in Japan?

It depends. Japanese banks typically offer mortgages only to residents with a long-term visa, stable income, and a local bank account. Some international banks also provide financing to their citizens who want to purchase property in Japan.

Do I need a Japanese bank account to buy property?

No. You can make payments via an international bank transfer into our secure Escrow Trust Account. Contact us for more information regarding how to pay for property in Japan.

Buying Process & Legal Questions

How long does it take to buy property in Japan?

The process usually takes 1–3 months, from property search to signing the contract and completing payment. Depending on whether you are paying in cash or obtaining financing from a bank, the process may be shorter or longer.

Do I need a real estate agent to buy property in Japan?

Yes. It’s highly recommended, as most property listings, contracts, and negotiations are in Japanese. A bilingual agent will guide you through the process. Contact us for more information!

What documents do non-resident foreigners need to buy property?

Typically, you need:
- Passport
- Government issued ID from your residing/home country with name, DOB and current address
- Affidavit of Identity
- Proof of funds (for cash buyers)

Do I need a Japanese seal (hanko) to buy property?

If you live in Japan, you may need a registered hanko (inkan). If you live abroad, your signature can be notarized instead.

Can I buy property in Japan remotely from overseas?

Yes! You can buy property without being in Japan by using a power of attorney or an agent, and handling payments via bank transfer.

Ownership & Investment Questions

Can I rent out my property in Japan as a short term stay (like Airbnb)

If you own your own detached house, whole apartment building or condo building, it depends on the zoning laws and building rules. Short-term rentals (Airbnb) require a Minpaku or hotel license, while long-term rentals are easier to manage. If you own an individual Condo unit, the building management will almost never allow short term stays so please be careful.

How do I manage my rental property if I live abroad and don’t speak Japanese?

Hire a Property Management Company. A property management company can handle everything on your behalf, including: Finding and screening tenants, Collecting rent, Managing maintenance and repairs, Communicating with tenants and service providers, Handling legal and regulatory matters. Since most tenants and service providers speak only Japanese, hiring a bilingual property manager is highly recommended.

Can I use my Japanese property to get a business visa?

Not directly. Simply buying property does not qualify you for a business or investor visa, but property ownership can support your visa application if part of a business plan.

How can I find a good investment property in Japan?

Work with a real estate agent experienced in foreign investments, consider rental demand, location, and resale value, and research tax benefits for investors.
