Hawai‘i families are buying homes in Japan. Here’s what your budget buys.

Yes. Foreigners can own property in Japan outright. No citizenship, no residency, no special permit. Our Japan-based team handles viewings, paperwork, and negotiation in English while you’re home in Hawai‘i. You fly in when it matters.

Members have bought homes near Tokyo for under $100,000. Start with the total you’re comfortable putting toward the whole purchase: the home, taxes and fees, any updates, and furniture. Your Match turns that number into real buying power and shows where it goes furthest.

AkiyaHub Home Stewardship handles checks, maintenance, and airing out the house between visits, so you come back to a home that’s ready.

No. Japan has a deep supply of well-kept homes and condos at prices that surprise Hawai‘i buyers. Some need work, many don’t. Before you commit, our team and local inspectors check the building, title, and access so you know exactly what you’re buying.

Not at all. An akiya is simply any vacant property in Japan: new builds, city condos, suburban family homes, resort apartments by the coast or the slopes, and traditional houses if that’s your dream. You choose.

Property tax, insurance, utilities, and upkeep, plus management fees for condos. On a modest home these run far less than most Hawai‘i buyers expect. Once you have a home in mind, we map the yearly numbers with you.

Owning property doesn’t come with a visa, so plan around the usual visitor rules. Most Hawai‘i members use their home for long visits, school breaks, and family trips. Want to stay longer? We’ll point you to the right immigration professional.
