Record Foreign Investments
Boost Japan’s Hotel Sector
Foreign investors are increasingly acquiring Japanese hotels
due to the nation’s recovering tourism industry, weak currency,
and low interest rates. In the past 12 months, overseas buyers accounted
for 47% of the ¥494.3 billion ($3.7 billion) invested in hotel deals,
the highest proportion since 2014. Factors such as low rates, the weak yen,
and market stability have made Japanese real estate attractive
to global investors amid economic uncertainty.
