Best Places to Buy a Holiday Home Near Tokyo

Posted on September 19, 2026

Owning a second home in Japan can mean very different things depending on where you choose to buy. Would you rather have the convenience and energy of central Tokyo, experience everyday life in a relaxed local neighborhood, or escape to the coast whenever you return to Japan?

In our upcoming online seminar, we’ll take you beyond property listings to explore what owning a second home in Japan could actually look and feel like.

Through real property tours and a live on-site broadcast, we’ll introduce three distinct locations and lifestyles (Tokyo, Kichijoji, and Shonan) and show you a selection of second homes and vacation properties ranging from ¥30 million up to ¥100 million.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • Real properties in Tokyo, Kichijoji, and Shonan
  • Three different approaches to second-home living in Japan
  • The lifestyle and characteristics of each area
  • Key points to consider when choosing the right location
  • Practical insights from Mr.LAND’s English-speaking real estate team

From the convenience, dining, and culture of Tokyo, to the parks, cafés, and neighborhood atmosphere of Kichijoji, and the ocean views and relaxed coastal lifestyle of Shonan, each area offers a very different way to make Japan part of your life.

Rather than simply comparing prices and property specifications, this seminar is designed to help you picture how you would actually spend your time in Japan—and which location best matches the kind of second home experience you are looking for.

Hosted by Michi Abe, Sales Promotion Manager, and Chris Xu, Real Estate Agent at Mr.LAND, the session will combine property tours with live commentary from our English-speaking real estate team. Attendees will also be able to ask questions and learn more about purchasing and owning property in Japan.

Those who attend the live webinar will also receive our Tokyo, Kichijoji & Shonan Second Home Property LookBook, featuring properties from the three areas introduced during the seminar.

Whether you imagine your second home as an urban base, a place to experience everyday Japanese life, or a coastal retreat for longer stays with family and friends, join us to discover which part of Japan could feel most like your home away from home.
