Improve your Airbnb listing with a practical approach to photos, guest-focused copy and conversion tracking. Through a live review of a Yokosuka property, this session explores how to define your ideal guest, use AI to identify recurring review themes, disclose access limitations clearly and test changes against your listing’s performance.
Renovating an older Japanese property starts before you buy. Blanka Kobayashi explains how intended use, building condition and hidden damage shape renovation costs—and why a cheap house may not be a bargain. Learn what to check during a walkthrough, why she recommends a 15–20% contingency, and how structural beams, missing plans and apartment management rules can limit your options.
Japan’s 40- and 50-year mortgages offer lower monthly repayments, but what are the trade-offs? Using a ¥100 million loan at an illustrative 1% interest rate, this talk compares repayment costs, borrowing power, and the choice between paying down debt, investing spare cash, or funding family life. It also explores age restrictions and why a longer mortgage term does not necessarily mean keeping the loan for its full duration.
Japan’s tighter Business Manager visa requirements are reshaping the options for property investors and small business owners. Hiroto Senda of June Advisors Group explains why property ownership does not confer residency, outlines the hurdles facing rental and accommodation businesses, and explores alternative routes through startup programs, intracompany transfers, highly skilled employment and genuine business partnerships. Audience questions cover visa sponsorship, company structures and permanent residency.
Japan property investment, financing and visa questions take centre stage in this summit panel Q&A. The discussion covers rising borrowing costs, Tokyo rental yields versus capital growth, stricter short-term rental regulation and the challenges of buying and renovating rural homes. Panellists also explore Business Manager visa changes, holiday-home co-ownership and opportunities in property management and family-focused accommodation.
Kyoto accommodation investments and Nagano ski properties offer different opportunities—and different operating challenges. Chai Kanda and the Shiki Group team discuss family-sized short-term rentals, boutique hotels, monthly rentals and ski-area holiday homes. Learn about non-resident hotel financing, rental licensing, winter maintenance, seasonal demand and the networks behind property sourcing.
Selling property in Japan starts with understanding who your future buyer will be. This summit presentation explores how location, building age, mortgage eligibility and alternative uses shape your exit options. Through examples ranging from city condos to rural homes and resort properties, learn what to check before buying and how to prepare for both planned sales and unexpected cash needs.
Financing Japanese property as a foreign buyer is the focus of this presentation from Yen Loans. Learn how the lender assesses income, assets and property value for purchases, refinancing and equity release. Borrower case studies and audience questions explore pre-relocation purchases, investment condos, interest-only options and the practical requirements of borrowing without a Japanese bank account.
