Why Area Matters
3 dimensions to weigh
Location is not one variable — it's three. Different buyers prioritise differently.
Net rental return after costs
Regional cities and certain Osaka districts deliver higher gross yields but demand more active management. Tokyo's gross yields are lower but operating costs and vacancy risk are lower too.
If you'll use it yourself
Ski weeks in Niseko, summer in Hakuba, cultural retreats in Kyoto. Personal-use properties change the math — factor in travel distance, seasonal demand and short-term rental rules.
