【Why Choose Japanese Real Estate? Vol.5 Property Viewings & The "As-Is" Condition】

Finding a property you are interested in is an exciting milestone, but verifying its exact condition is a vital step before moving forward. 🇯🇵

In Japan, many pre-owned properties are sold on an "As-Is" basis (Genjo Watashi).

This means the property is handed over basically exactly as it appears during your viewing, without the seller performing prior repairs.
While this offers the benefit of a more reasonable purchase price and the freedom to renovate, it requires careful attention to the property's current state.

Importantly, sellers in Japan are not obligated to conduct a professional home inspection before listing a property.

To ensure a secure transaction and prevent unexpected issues, our team fully supports you in arranging a professional home inspection.
Viewing the property alongside an experienced agent and an inspector allows you to assess structural details that photos simply cannot capture, leading to an informed and safe investment. 🤝🔍

In Vol.6, we will discuss "How to Make an Offer and the Purchase Process." Stay tuned! ✨

【Why Choose Japanese Real Estate? Vol.4 What Do You Need to Buy Property in Japan?】

Following up on Vol.3 where we explained that foreigners can buy property in Japan, you might be wondering about the practical steps.
Do you need to fly to Japan? What documents are required?

1. Do I need to be in Japan to buy a property? ✈️
No, you do not need to be physically present in Japan.
With the support of reliable real estate agents and judicial scriveners (Shiho-shoshi), the entire process can be completed remotely.
We offer online property viewings and handle document exchanges via international mail.
Please note that in some cases, a seller may request an in-person meeting for the sales contract.

2. What documents do I need to prepare? 📄
While the specifics can vary depending on your country of residence, the primary documents typically needed are:

・Passport (for identification)

・Affidavit/Statutory Declaration (to verify your residential address and signature, often notarized in your home country)

Our team at REMAX Migration Realty provides step-by-step guidance to ensure a stable and secure transaction, no matter where you are in the world. 🤝

In Vol.5, we will discuss "How to Manage Funds and International Transfers for Property Purchases." Stay tuned! ✨

【Why Choose Japanese Real Estate? Vol.3 Can Foreigners Buy Property in Japan?】

Can foreigners really buy a house in Japan? 🇯🇵🏠

Yes, they can!

But what is the difference between a Japanese citizen buying a property and a foreigner buying one?

The answer may surprise you:

The basic buying process and ownership rights are largely the same.

1️⃣ Foreigners Can Own Land and Buildings

Foreigners can generally purchase and own both land and buildings in Japan under the same basic ownership rules as Japanese citizens.

Whether you are looking for a home, vacation property, or investment property, you do not need to be a Japanese citizen to own real estate in Japan.

2️⃣ The Basic Buying Process Is the Same

There is no separate “foreigner-only” purchasing system for now.

The basic process is generally the same for both Japanese and foreign buyers.

However, overseas buyers may need additional documents depending on their circumstances, such as proof of overseas address and identity documents.

🏠 How Do Foreigners Buy Property in Japan?

STEP 1 — Find a Property
Search for a property that matches your budget, preferred location, and purpose.

STEP 2 — View the Property & Check the Details
Review the property's condition, ownership, legal restrictions, and other important information.

STEP 3 — Receive the Important Matters Explanation

Before signing the purchase agreement, a licensed Real Estate Transaction Specialist (宅地建物取引士) explains important information about the property and the transaction.

This may include property rights, legal restrictions, utilities, and other important conditions that buyers should understand before purchasing.

STEP 4 — Sign the Purchase Agreement

After reviewing the Important Matters Explanation and agreeing to the terms, the buyer and seller sign the purchase agreement.

The buyer generally pays a deposit at this stage.

STEP 5 — Complete Payment & Ownership Transfer

The remaining purchase price is paid, and a judicial scrivener handles the ownership transfer registration.

STEP 6 — Receive the Property 🔑

Once payment and registration procedures are completed, the property is officially handed over to the buyer.

For overseas buyers, additional procedures may apply, including identity verification, proof of overseas address, and certain reporting requirements for non-residents.

So, the key point is this:

🇯🇵 Foreigners can buy and own real estate in Japan.

The main difference is generally not whether you can own property, but the documents and procedures required depending on your circumstances.

That is why having a trusted local partner who understands both Japanese real estate and international transactions can make the process much easier. 🤝

⚠️ New applications for Japan’s Business Manager Visa have reportedly fallen by around 96%.

Since the eligibility requirements for the Business Manager Visa were revised in October 2025, the number of new applications has dropped sharply.

According to media reports, the monthly average fell from approximately 1,700 applications during the five months before the revision to around 70 applications during the five months after it—an estimated decrease of about 96%.

Please note that this figure is currently based on media reporting.

The main reason is the significant change in the visa requirements.

Applicants are now generally expected to meet conditions such as:

✔ Capital of at least JPY 30 million
✔ Employment of at least one full-time staff member
✔ A certain level of Japanese-language ability held by the applicant or a full-time employee
✔ Relevant management experience or an eligible academic background
✔ A business plan reviewed by a qualified professional

The Business Manager Visa is no longer a route where simply establishing a company and preparing the minimum documents is enough.

Immigration authorities now look more closely at the overall credibility of the business, including the source of funds, the feasibility of the business plan, the staffing structure, and the applicant’s professional background.

The sharp fall in applications may reflect how much more difficult it has become to meet the revised requirements.

For anyone considering this visa, preparation should begin well before the application itself. Company formation, funding, recruitment, and the business plan should all be reviewed from an early stage with the appropriate professionals.

Each application is assessed based on its individual circumstances.

✉️ Please feel free to contact us by DM for an initial consultation.

【Why Choose Japanese Real Estate? Vol.2 Why Is Japan's Real Estate Market So Transparent?】

One of the biggest reasons buyers and investors trust Japanese real estate is its transparent registration system. 🏢

So, what makes Japan's real estate market so reliable?

1️⃣ Anyone Can Verify Property Information

In Japan, anyone can obtain an official Property Registration Certificate (Certificate of Registered Matters) from the Legal Affairs Bureau.

Before purchasing a property, buyers can verify important information such as:
✔️ The registered owner
✔️ Land and building details
✔️ Mortgages and other registered rights

This high level of transparency helps buyers make informed decisions before completing a transaction.

2️⃣ Government-Managed Registration System

Japan's real estate registration system is administered by the Legal Affairs Bureau under the Ministry of Justice.

Ownership and other registered rights are officially recorded, providing a reliable public record of a property's legal status.

3️⃣ Strong Protection of Property Rights

After ownership is transferred and registered, the registered owner can assert their ownership rights against third parties under Japanese law.

The registration system also helps reduce ownership disputes and makes it easier to confirm ownership during inheritance procedures.

While no country can completely eliminate fraud, Japan's transparent legal framework and registration system make its real estate market one of the most trusted in the world.

🏢 At RE/MAX Migration Realty, we guide overseas buyers through every step of purchasing property in Japan—from finding the right property to completing the legal procedures.

【なぜ日本の不動産が選ばれるのか？Vol.2 日本の不動産市場はなぜ透明なのか】

海外の投資家や購入希望者が日本の不動産を信頼する理由の一つが、「透明性の高い登記制度」です。🏢

では、なぜ日本の不動産取引は安心と言われているのでしょうか？

1️⃣ 登記事項証明書を取得できる

日本では、法務局で登記事項証明書を取得することができます。
購入前には、次のような重要な情報を確認できます。

✔️ 現在の所有者
✔️ 土地・建物の情報
✔️ 抵当権などの権利関係

こうした情報を事前に確認できることが、日本の不動産市場の透明性を支えています。

2️⃣ 国が管理する登記制度

日本の不動産登記制度は、法務省の法務局が管理しています。
所有権などの権利関係が公的に記録・管理されることで、不動産の法的状況を確認できる仕組みになっています。

3️⃣ 所有権を法的に守る仕組み

所有権移転登記を行うことで、所有者はその権利を第三者に対して主張することができます。
また、所有者が明確に記録されるため、相続の際にも所有関係を確認しやすくなります。

もちろん、どの国でも不動産トラブルを100％防ぐことはできません。
しかし、日本では透明性の高い登記制度と法制度によって、不動産取引の信頼性が高く、多くの海外投資家や購入者から安心できる市場として評価されています。

🏢 RE/MAX Migration Realtyでは、海外のお客様にも安心して日本の不動産をご購入いただけるよう、物件探しから契約・引渡しまでトータルサポートしております。

【Why Choose Japanese Real Estate? Vol.1: The Power of Freehold Ownership】

Did you know that Japan has a relatively open real estate market for foreign buyers?

When considering property overseas, many investors face strict regulations.
In some countries, foreign buyers may be limited to leasing land or purchasing only certain types of property.

Japan offers a different level of flexibility.

1️⃣ Freehold Ownership

In general, foreign nationals can own both land and buildings in Japan under the same basic ownership rules as Japanese citizens.

This means you can build a long-term asset, enjoy greater ownership stability, and potentially pass the property on to future generations.

2️⃣ No General Restrictions Based on Nationality or Visa Status

In general, foreign nationals can purchase property in Japan without needing Japanese citizenship or residency.

Whether you are an overseas investor looking to diversify your portfolio or an expat planning to build a life in Japan, owning property can offer lasting value and long-term opportunities.

Our bilingual team is here to help simplify the buying process and support you every step of the way. 🏡

In Vol. 2, we will explore Japan’s highly structured real estate registration system and how it helps clarify and protect property rights.

🏦 Setting up a company in Japan does not guarantee a corporate bank account.

Many overseas founders assume that once their company is incorporated, opening a corporate bank account will be the next simple step.

In reality, Japanese banks conduct their own screening. They may review not only the company registration, but also:

📄 the actual business activities
🤝 contracts, invoices, or expected transactions
🏢 the company’s office and operating structure
👤 the ultimate beneficial owner
🌍 the purpose of international transfers

These checks are part of Japan’s anti-money laundering framework. Financial institutions may also request additional information about a company’s business, shareholders, and ownership structure.

For a newly established company with little operating history, it can be especially important to show that the business is real, concrete, and ready to begin. Some banks ask for contracts, invoices, purchase orders, business plans, office leases, or relevant licenses.

In other words, incorporation is only one step.
Preparing enough evidence to explain the business clearly is equally important.
