Before you enquire

Foreigners can buy freely. No visa, residency, minimum price, or government approval — ownership is freehold and permanent.
It goes through the town, not a portal. You contact the municipality (or its local agent) — this page links you to the original source, and the sale happens there.
View before you commit. Old rural houses hide their costs in the roof, foundations and plumbing, so an in-person or paid viewing is worth it.

Listings are published by the municipality in Japanese and change fast. Enquiries and purchases go through the town or its local agent — never through us.

Paying from overseas?

Banks bury a 3–5% markup in the exchange rate. On a ¥1,910,000 house that's real money — a specialist transfer uses the mid-market rate instead.
