Detached houses are scarce, so building age, floor area, land rights, and monthly fees shape most searches. ## How AkiyaHub helps here Our Tokyo network can check leasehold terms, building management, earthquake standards, monthly fees, and resale context before you compare central units. AkiyaHub is an advisory, education, research, and transaction-support platform. We coordinate licensed Japanese professionals, and we do not act as a real estate brokerage.

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. ### Can a modest budget work in Shibuya? It can, if you are open to a compact unit, an older building, or the ward's western edge. Keep monthly building costs separate from the purchase price. ### Which monthly costs apply to a Shibuya apartment? Allow for management fees, repair reserves, parking or bicycle fees, fixed asset tax, insurance, and any planned increase for major building work. ### What types of homes are for sale in Shibuya? Shibuya 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. ## Nearby city guides - [Shinjuku real estate guide](./shinjuku.md): Another central Tokyo apartment market - [Setagaya real estate guide](./setagaya.md): More detached-home choice to the west - [Suginami real estate guide](./suginami.md): A lower-rise west Tokyo comparison ## Important limitations - AkiyaHub is not a real estate brokerage, property seller, renovation company, or legal, tax, financial, accounting, or immigration adviser. - We coordinate with appropriately licensed local professionals when regulated work is required. - "Akiya" means "vacant house."
