My latest YouTube video clip about the bank loan scandal for the investment
by ARUHI.
ARUHI (SBI group) is accused for arranging the fraudulent bank loan for
the rogue real estate realtors and investors.
They all conspired with an accomplice to get a low-interest funding to buy an investment property,
which is only applicable to the housing.
High-rise condominiums sometimes meet fierce resistance from residents who believe their neighborhoods are being overwhelmed by soaring glass towers.
In Japan, a number of rich and famous are living in those high rise condominiums.
But are they really good investment ? What are the potential risks ?
The higher that buildings can stretch into the sky, the more money that developers can command for sweeping views.
Those luxury condominiums are called ‘tower mansion’ in Japan.
I know it sounds very confusing.
In Japan mansions aren’t massive houses and estates for the rich and famous.
They are conventional apartments for regular people
(manshon ~ マンション).
Japanese mansions are the equivalent of condominiums.
People buy them to live in or rent out.
Truth to be told.
1 in 7 homes across the country is empty.
Around 5 million of Japan’s vacant homes are intended for future sale or rental.
The phenomenon is a function of a declining population and the continued pace of housing construction.
Despite being the world’s third-largest economy, Japan’s population has been shrinking since 2010.
The population is also getting older.
A new survey shows the problem is far greater than expected.
The government recently announced the new survey result about akiya (unused house)
According to the Housing and Land Statistics Survey in October 2018 announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the ratio of akiya (unused house) to the total number of dwellings in the country was a record high of 13.6%
,meaning 1 in 7 homes across the country is empty.
New listing in Japan’s old imperial capital !
The Kyoto district best known for its geishas, Shinto shrines, and teahouses.
I have visited beautifully renovated KYOTO Machiya house.
You will love it.
What’s notable in the Kyoto’s real estate scene is how old and new mix seamlessly.
And the key word in Kyoto is subtlety.

(Lake Saiko)
Glamorous and chic.
One of my friends is now listing the great KOMINKA (古民家) in Fujikawaguchiko-machi, Yamanashi prefecture (by Lake Saiko)
The house is less than two hours drive from Shinjuku station and its takes about 2 hours and 15 mins by express bus/train from Shinjuku.
The access is excellent from central Tokyo.
Where is Yamanashi and what is its feature ?
Located within two hours of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, Yamanashi boasts fresh air, crystal clean water, and a multitude of attractions
which people come to see all year round. Starting with the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, Yamanashi is surrounded by four national and quasi-national parks
– but the region’s natural charms do not end there. You can stroll along the shores of the Fuji Five Lakes, hiking along the Southern Alps,
and feasting your eyes upon Yamanashi’s plateaus, valleys, and lush fields of flowers.
Happy new year 2019 ! Year of Boar.
New year has just begun and I would like to quickly review the market using some statistics.
The data always tells you the fact. How to read the data is a key for success.
It is too early to know if housing is in another bubble in Japan (I don’t think so)
It will depend on what happens with the global economy. Unfortunately, bubbles are only recognized with 100 percent certainty
in 20/20 hindsight.
