Tokyo Real Estate FAQs
Housing Japan is a licensed Tokyo real estate brokerage (Tokyo Governor (3) No. 98912), established in 2000 and based in Azabudai, Minato-ku. We help residents, expats and overseas buyers buy, sell, rent and manage luxury apartments and houses, with a focus on Tokyo's central wards, including Minato, Shibuya, Shinjuku and Chiyoda.
Yes. Japan has no nationality or residency requirement for owning real estate, so foreign buyers can purchase freehold apartments and houses in Tokyo whether they live in Japan or overseas. Our bilingual team handles viewings, negotiation and closing, and we work with lenders that consider buyers based overseas. See our guide to buying property in Japan.
We handle properties across Tokyo, including the central residential neighbourhoods of Azabu, Roppongi, Hiroo, Aoyama, Akasaka, Ebisu and Daikanyama. Each of these areas has its own Tokyo area guide covering housing, schools and daily life. Beyond Tokyo, we offer selected properties in other Japanese cities, as well as resort properties in Japan.
Start by setting your budget, preferred area and move-in date, then view a shortlist of apartments with an agent. When you've chosen one, you submit an application, which the landlord and usually a guarantor company will screen. If you're approved, you sign the lease, pay initial costs such as the deposit, and collect the keys. For new arrivals, we also offer short-term furnished apartments. Browse Tokyo housing for rent.
Yes. Our property management service covers finding and screening tenants, lease contracts, rent collection, maintenance and repairs, so you don't need to be in Japan to let your property. Owners can track rent, statements and requests through our online Owner's Portal. Our bilingual team handles each stage, from finding and buying a property to managing it afterwards.
