New listing in Japan’s old imperial capital !
The Kyoto district best known for its geishas, Shinto shrines, and teahouses.
I have visited beautifully renovated KYOTO Machiya house.
You will love it.
What’s notable in the Kyoto’s real estate scene is how old and new mix seamlessly.
And the key word in Kyoto is subtlety.

Moving into a new place can be an exciting yet expensive decision.
It is essential that you view the property in person as the photos may (or may not) do the property justice.
You may be able to identify issues that are not present in the photos, which may not be up to date.
Visiting the property gives you a feel for the location and the neighbourhood.
In any cities, there are some neighbourhoods where you don’t walk in the middle of night alone.
In fact, in Tokyo there is almost none.
Maybe you may feel weird if you walk on the street early in the morning in Shinjuku Kabukicho but you won’t feel
extreme insecurity.
I recently read a book written by a guy called ‘Masayoshi Osaka’. The book is called ‘Where are the places you don’t
want to live in greater Tokyo ?’ It is highly controversial and full of prejudice such as race, income and business.
He is a reasonably well-known blogger, originally from Osaka.
He is running a media company “Tokyo Deep Guide” , which is the extreme biased media.
The media shines light not on the positive side of the cities/towns in Tokyo but on the negative side.
We have got a new listing from Kawasaki city.
I have been there for viewing and photos and video clips.
It has the fantastic financing by the first class Japanese bank (subject to visa and financial background) and foreign national could be eligible for the financing by a Japanese bank .

Kawasaki (川崎市 Kawasaki-shi) is a city in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
Here is the latest testimonials by American investors.
Malinda and Lee are running a manufacturing company in LA, USA
which produces the content related products.
They are looking for a property (to buy) to start the new business venture in Tokyo.
They are looking for a property in Tokyo with some work space for their manufacturing and also
usual home rooms/facility to live while they stay in Tokyo on the trip.
We took them to a property in Adachi ward, Tokyo which is northern part of Tokyo.
Let’s find out what they think of the property.
We wish them a good luck.
Let’s face it.

‘Japan’s green card by the real estate investment ?’
Japanese government dramatically relaxed the green card system for the high skilled foreign professionals
as well as the visa for blue-collar workers
The government expects to grant specified skills visas to around 340,000 blue-collar
workers over the next five years.

Long-lasting growth ?
The Japanese government recently issued a report on the average land price in Japan.
It is announced every year and surveys 26,000 spots all over Japan.
Today I am sharing some key findings and forecast for the future.
Summary
Overall, the national average price for commercial land increased 2.8 percent and that of residential land edged up 0.6 percent.
The average price of all types of land in Japan’s regional areas (namely local areas) rose for the first time since 1992 last year
due to the influx of foreign tourists.

When was the last time you stretch your legs in your onsen tub ?
I recently visited Hakone for my client who resides in USA.
He asked me to search a villa in Hakone with onsen (hot springs)
Just a short trip from Tokyo, Hakone has great hot springs at the foot of Mount Fuji.
