What Foreign Owners Don’t Realize After Buying a Home in Japan

Buying property in Japan is the easy part.

What happens after the purchase is where most foreign owners get caught off guard.

In this interview with Kakuya-san from Jyokan Real Estate, we talk about what no one explains clearly.

Acquisition tax.
Annual property tax.
City planning tax.

And what happens if you miss a payment.

We also discuss older homes.
Hidden water leaks.
Vacant property risks.

Plus the Japanese letters that arrive by mail.
And why replying late can create serious problems.

If you are buying a home, investing in rental property, or looking at an akiya, this is something you need to hear.

Before you buy cheap property in Japan, understand what comes after the deal.
