Gaijin Who
Made the Move
I bought a 100-year-old farmhouse in Nara for less than my car. Gaijin.app handled everything — I never had to fly over until the signing.
The investment calculator and yield comparison tools are unlike anything I've seen. Closed on a Tokyo studio yielding 7.2% — best decision I've made.
Renovated an akiya in Kyoto into a boutique guesthouse. The community helped me find local contractors, architects, and even a great izakaya to celebrate.

Why Foreign Investors Choose Japan Real Estate
Japan's property market offers a rare combination of low entry prices, stable rental demand, and full foreign ownership rights. Unlike many Asian markets, Japan imposes no restrictions on foreign buyers — no approval process, no minimum price requirements, no ownership caps.
With over 8 million vacant akiya properties nationwide and an aging population, Japan's rural market offers extraordinary value for renovation-minded buyers. Meanwhile, Tokyo and Osaka continue to attract institutional investors seeking reliable yields in a stable yen-denominated asset.
