Breaking Down the Invisible Barriers in Property Hunting for Foreigners

Ziyou Real Estate LLC (Representative: Shohei Fujita) supports property rentals and sales with the mission of "creating a society where everyone can live wherever they want with peace of mind."

In Japan, when foreigners try to rent or buy property, they often face a lack of information due to systemic practices and language barriers. This can result in accepting unfavorable conditions. We view this as a structural issue and are committed to thorough accountability and transparent transactions.

Common Barriers in Rentals

Key money (reikin), renewal fees, and other Japan-specific practices; guarantor companies and joint guarantors; unclear screening criteria; and rules that are easily misunderstood (prohibited items, restoration obligations, etc.).

Common Barriers in Property Sales

Complex important matter explanations and contracts; practices like earnest money and cancellation conditions; simultaneous payment, delivery, and registration on settlement day; and restrictions from condominium management rules and usage regulations.
