Working through the purchase process

Buying commercial property in Japan can involve a detailed process, so working with an experienced agent matters. Each listing in our database includes contact information for the agent. Browsing a listing gives you an idea of what the property looks like and how it is used. You can then ask the agent for specifics about the terms and how to buy.

Consider thinking beyond the most crowded markets. Major cities often have limited available space for hotels and offices, so buyers sometimes look at other cities where demand is growing. A local agent can tell you what is happening in each area.

Before you buy abroad

• Confirm ownership and tax rules for non-residents with a qualified local attorney and tax advisor.
• Verify property details, documents, and terms with the listing agent.
• Decide whether you will operate the property or hold it as an investment.
