  • Top quality Japan podcast

    I've been following the Japan Real Estate podcast for some time now and I find this to be one of the most interesting and informative Japan-based sites and podcast (of any sort - not just real estate).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Buy a Holiday Condo in Japan?
Q: What budget range are you considering for the condo purchase?
They discuss a target around 20 million yen with total costs possibly up to 23 million, depending on location and building age, and they explore adjusting size or location to fit the budget.
Creating Value
Q: Biggest question is, can goats eat bamboo roots?
Goats can eat a wide variety of vegetation, and the speaker notes that bamboo roots are notable but goats will eat many things; it's part of a discussion on how goats can be used for weed abatement on overgrown land.
Due Diligence or Disaster
Q: Does a workshop destination business require the same licenses as a Minpaku?
Overnight stays fall under Minpaku; day-only usage like a workspace is not regulated as Minpaku, but licensing still depends on how the space is used.
Due Diligence or Disaster
Q: If you're not charging money for living in a property used by friends and family, is that SDR considered?
If you're not charging, it's not SDR; if you are charging for short stays, then you need a fixed-term lease and appropriate licensing.
Buy Smart: The Fundamentals of Choosing the Right Home in Tokyo
Q: Is it possible to negotiate with neighbors to buy a portion of land to widen a pathway for better access and compliance?
Technically possible but unlikely and typically impractical; the neighbor would need to agree and the benefit for them may not be worth the cost, making it a rarity.
