Historic center

Questions buyers ask first
Kamakura property questions, answered plainly
Can a foreigner buy property in Kamakura?
Yes. Japan does not require citizenship or residency to own real estate. Ownership does not give you a visa, and financing, tax, and document needs depend on your situation.
Why do two similar Kamakura homes have very different prices?
Flat access, road width, station distance, coastal exposure, planning limits, and retaining-wall risk can change value as much as the building itself.
What should I check before buying near the Kamakura coast?
Check tsunami and flood context, salt exposure, drainage, insurance, road access, evacuation routes, structure, and the cost of regular exterior work.
What types of homes are for sale in Kamakura?
Kamakura listings can include city condos or apartments, detached houses, family homes, and older properties. The mix changes by area, station access, building age, condition, and asking price.
