Despite the very strong suspect which many industry specialists are pointing out, major brands are exploiting
both buyers and sellers all the time.
Please find out how they make money.
Their murky deals are long over due.Read more
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.

Moving into a new place can be an exciting yet expensive decision.
It is essential that you view the property in person as the photos may (or may not) do the property justice.
You may be able to identify issues that are not present in the photos, which may not be up to date.
Visiting the property gives you a feel for the location and the neighbourhood.
In any cities, there are some neighbourhoods where you don’t walk in the middle of night alone.
In fact, in Tokyo there is almost none.
Maybe you may feel weird if you walk on the street early in the morning in Shinjuku Kabukicho but you won’t feel
extreme insecurity.
I recently read a book written by a guy called ‘Masayoshi Osaka’. The book is called ‘Where are the places you don’t
want to live in greater Tokyo ?’ It is highly controversial and full of prejudice such as race, income and business.
He is a reasonably well-known blogger, originally from Osaka.
He is running a media company “Tokyo Deep Guide” , which is the extreme biased media.
The media shines light not on the positive side of the cities/towns in Tokyo but on the negative side.
We have got a new listing from Kawasaki city.
I have been there for viewing and photos and video clips.

Kawasaki (川崎市 Kawasaki-shi) is a city in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

usual home rooms/facility to live while they stay in Tokyo on the trip.
We took them to a property in Adachi ward, Tokyo which is northern part of Tokyo.
Let’s find out what they think of the property.
We wish them a good luck.
Let’s face it.
