About Foreign buyers in Japan
Japan places no general nationality restriction on buying real estate; ownership is registered at the Legal Affairs Bureau. Non-residents report the purchase under the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act. Confirm the rules for your case with a Japanese lawyer.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Foreign buyers in Japan before you go.
