  • Useful Insights

    Thank you very much for practical and honest content. I’ve been learning a lot. As a Shiho-shoshi (judicial scrivener), it’s very useful for learning real-estate-related English, as well as understanding the needs of foreign buyers.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AkiyaMart No More! Go Mokomoko!
Q: What has driven the rebranding from AkiyaMart to Mokomoko and how does it affect the platform's positioning?
The hosts explain that Mokomoko is an easier, more pronounceable brand that isn't tied to a single asset type. It signals a broader, nationwide approach beyond just Akiya and aligns with their updated goal of aggregating all types of real estate listings for international buyers.
What's Hokkaido's Property Market Like?
Q: What differentiates foreign buyers' preferences from Japanese buyers in Asahikawa?
Foreign buyers tend to want more modern conveniences like multiple bathrooms, better internet connectivity, and more outdoor space; Japanese buyers prioritize privacy and compact designs, with a preference for smaller windows and traditional layouts.
What's Hokkaido's Property Market Like?
Q: How did you end up in real estate after teaching English in Japan?
I transitioned from teaching to real estate in 2023, driven by a search for a new path and a referral from a friend of a friend that connected me to the company's president.
How to Rent Out My Holiday Home in Japan when Not in Use?
Q: What is the typical tenancy arrangement in Japan and how does it affect the option to reclaim the property after a lease ends?
Leases in Japan generally renew automatically every two years; to reclaim the property, you must notify six months before expiry and may need to offer compensation to tenants for moving to another place, making early reclamation more complex but manageable with proper planning.
