What are some of the properties worth investing in Japan?

There are various types of Japanese real estate that can meet the investment needs of all types of people. With the depreciation of the yen and the stabilization of the Japanese real estate market, more and more investors are looking to invest in real estate in Japan.

Currently, investment properties in Japan are generally categorized into four main groups based on the type of housing:Apartments, low-rise apartments, one-family houses, towers, and taffy housesThe

1
 Apartments (Mansion)

Similar to condominiums in China, they are generally heavy steel frames, reinforced concrete or other sturdy structures, usually over 3 floors, with good sound insulation, and are preferred by the vast majority of young Japanese for investment.

After registration of the distinction, it can be sold separately to the seller and the land is shared ownership, which is the most mainstream investment housing product.

2
 Low-rise Apartments (Apartment)

Usually wood or lightweight steel construction, panelized houses are typically built on one to three floors and are also a mainstream type of housing.

Slightly better than crowded condominiums in terms of living area, low-rise condominiums generally have lower construction requirements than apartments, have very low land requirements (low plot ratio requirements), and therefore generally have a better rent-to-own ratio and lower investment costs compared to condominiums that require an SRC and a full suite of properties.

3
 Ichidokken (Ichidokentei)

Ichidokken belongs to the Japanese characteristic detached cottage, the first choice of most Japanese people, the mainstream consumer group of Ichidokken are middle-aged people or married people, compared with the above two kinds, Ichidokken's floor area is much higher than both, with its own independent land.

The ratio of wood construction for Ichinohe building in Japan is about 90%, and the rough wood used to build the skeleton of the house is very good in terms of fire resistance and ability to regulate humidity.

4
 Towers (Taf-Mansion)

The Tokyo Tower is always the brightest sight, a symbol of power and wealth status.

However, towers are very expensive with average rents, and the vast majority are self-occupied by wealthy Japanese, and if the investor themselves cannot live in Japan for a long period of time, they will have to pay additional property fees each year if they cannot find a tenant.

Towers are difficult to circulate, and niche trading markets plus red tape make towers less liquid.

The Japanese real estate market offers a wide variety of investment opportunitiesFrom high-end condominiums in cosmopolitan cities to one-family buildings in traditional old towns, each type of property has its own unique appeal and investment value.
