This Swiss Couple Bought a Home in Japan to See Their Kids and Grandkids

A foreign couple bought a condo in Japan.

Not in central Tokyo.
But about an hour away.

We visited Andreas and Jacqueline in their renovated 2LDK home in Yachiyo.

Why did they choose a condominium over a detached house?
What surprised them about owning property in Japan?
And what should foreigners know before buying?

We also compare real estate prices in Japan and Switzerland.
The gap might surprise you.

If you are thinking about buying, retiring near family, or investing outside Tokyo, this episode walks through the real experience of owning a home in Japan.
