Questions
Can foreigners buy a house in Japan?
Yes. Foreigners can own land and buildings in Japan on the same terms as Japanese citizens, and you do not need to live there. Owning a house does not give you a visa.
What does an akiya really cost?
The price, plus the broker fee (at most ¥330,000 for homes up to ¥8M), stamp duty, registration and a scrivener. Every listing here shows the estimate.
Where do these homes come from?
From the akiya banks that Japanese towns run to find buyers for empty houses. Each listing links to the town's original page.
What counts as an akiya here?
Only existing houses for sale from municipal akiya banks. No new builds, condos, land or rentals.
