Our Real Estate serviceReal Estate
Foreign companies and new Japanese subsidiaries lack a track record, so landlords often ask for extra guarantees. We cover screening, documents, guarantees, lease types, key clauses and links to visas and registration.
Real Estate
Owners letting Japanese property from abroad should appoint a property manager and a tax agent together. Rent paid by a company is withheld at 20.42% and settled in an annual tax return. We explain management and tax.
Real Estate
Foreign employees are usually housed either in company-leased housing or under their own lease. Company housing eases tenant screening, and charging part of the rent avoids payroll tax. Process, guarantors, filings.
Real Estate
The Important Land Act lets Japan survey land use near key facilities and on border islands and curb harmful uses. Deals of 200 m² or more in special zones need prior notice. Impact on foreign buyers and 2026 reforms.
Real Estate
Non-residents’ rent from Japanese property is taxed in Japan. Corporate and business tenants withhold 20.42%, and the owner appoints a tax agent and settles the tax in a return filed by 15 March of the following year.
Real Estate
When a non-resident or foreign company sells Japanese property, the buyer withholds 10.21% of the price. The seller settles the tax in a return filed by 15 March of the following year and recovers any overpayment.
Real Estate
Buying property in Japan triggers registration and license tax, acquisition tax and stamp duty, then annual fixed asset and city planning taxes. Rates do not vary by nationality. Rates, reliefs and paying from overseas.
Real Estate
Foreigners can in principle buy land and buildings in Japan freely, but the paperwork is growing: FEFTA reports for non-residents, a nationality filing at registration from 5 October 2026 and prior notices in some areas.
We meet online, in Japanese, Chinese or English.
