What are requirements for foreigners to buy property in Japan?

For foreigners residing in Japan:

  • Legally valid passport (with a valid Japanese residence visa or Japanese permanent residency)
  • Fixed address in Japan (necessary to issue a local residence certificate)
  • Funds for purchasing a property (If you require a loan, you must have stable employment income in Japan. Additionally, most banks offering loans require permanent residency.)

For foreigners residing in other countries:

  • Legal residence address in your home country (requires proof such as government-issued documents or notarized certificates, with a Japanese translation)
  • Representative for signing contracts (The buying and selling process is relatively long. Generally, it is not feasible for foreigners to handle the entire process in Japan, so appointing a representative is more practical.)
  • Tax representative (Japan imposes acquisition taxes on land and property and requires payment of annual asset taxes. The representative assumes responsibility for these tax payments.)
  • Full funds for purchasing a property (Loans are almost impossible)

We provide all agency and translation services for buying and selling without additional fees. The above requirements apply to all foreigners.”
