How the service will work

The service is being designed to replace endless searching with one private, organized property shortlist.

Tell us what you want

Complete a buyer profile with your budget, prefectures, ideal property type, transportation needs, renovation tolerance, and deal breakers.

2

Receive a private spreadsheet

We build a personalized spreadsheet with only the homes that fit your search—complete with English summaries, links, and useful notes.

3

See what changes each week

Every week, we add new matches, flag price changes, mark unavailable homes, and summarize what changed.

What you receive

Research designed around your search—not everyone else’s.

Each future subscription will cover one private buyer profile and one customized spreadsheet.

Personalized matches

Properties are selected using your price range, chosen prefectures, size requirements, intended use, and deal breakers.

Weekly maintenance

New properties are added, inactive listings are archived, and price or status changes are clearly highlighted.

English-friendly summaries

Important listing details are standardized into one understandable format so properties are easier to compare.

Original source links

Each property includes a direct link back to its source listing so you can see the original information.

Location context

Depending on your plan, listings can include station access, driving needs, nearby services, and regional notes.

Clear recommendations

Your strongest matches are surfaced so you can focus on the homes most likely to suit your goals.

Launching soon

Flexible plans based on how much of Japan you want searched.

Planned subscriptions will range from a focused one-prefecture search to broader multi-prefecture coverage. Early-access members will receive pricing and launch details first.

Questions

Before you subscribe

Is this a shared property database?

No. Every customer receives a private spreadsheet created specifically around their search profile.

How many new properties will be added each week?

The number depends on your criteria and current market availability. We include qualifying matches found during the scheduled weekly search, but do not guarantee a minimum number.

Can I change my prefectures or requirements?

Minor criteria changes are allowed. Major changes or a complete new search profile may require a reset or setup fee.

Do you contact agents or complete due diligence?

Not in the standard subscription. Agent contact, document translation, legal review, inspection, valuation, and detailed due diligence are separate services.

Can you guarantee a property is still available?

No. Listings can change between weekly updates. We track status and archive inactive properties, but buyers should confirm availability before making decisions.

Does this service help me obtain residency in Japan?

No. Buying property and obtaining immigration status are separate matters. This service is focused on property research and screening.
