Can Foreigners Buy Property in Japan?
Yes — foreign nationals can purchase property in Japan regardless of nationality or visa status. Both land and buildings can be owned by foreigners.
Required Documents
Purchase Process
The property purchase process is essentially the same as for Japanese nationals. Important disclosure documents and purchase agreements are in Japanese, but New Connection provides multilingual explanations throughout.
Mortgage Information
Permanent residents can apply at almost all financial institutions. Available lenders may be more limited depending on your visa status and remaining period of stay.
