I live in Germany, a small town with 12,000 inhabitants, 60 km from Stuttgart. The cheapest house for sale has 145 square meters, was built in 1962 and needs renovation. The asking price is EUR 320,000 ( US$ 358,000)
Wow, that’s similar to the price point whereby I live, Las Vegas. I have visited Europe many times but Germany only once, it was clean safe beautiful. Enjoy that country living.
That's what can happen when you flood your nation with a mass amount of people and not enough real estate to house them. It's why Japan is inexpensive - sensible immigration, so far.
Scott and Jenny seem like a nice couple. I only have $100K, but if I had more, I'd want that last house. I hope they move forward before the USD becomes any weaker. Best wishes to them! I hope they're content with whatever choice they make. Each place had some positives and negatives. Amazing that Jenny found these places in Tokyo, and each one seemed to be a reasonable distance to the train station. I lived in Manhattan for 10 years, in my 20s, so I know that walking to/from the subway gets really old in the heat and humidity, rain, and cold weather and I was in excellent physical shape. You have to carry everything with you, back and forth, groceries, pets, laundry (if your home doesn't have it). That can lose it's charm very quickly when the temperature is 95 degrees and 95% humidity, or when you are sick and have to go see a doctor. That said, walking daily is good exercise IF the air quality isn't too bad.
Love all of your videos. Can you explain why some homes in Japan are rebuildable and others are not. What does it mean if the home is NOT rebuildable. If it gets too old and no one wants to buy it, what will happen if the property is NOT rebuildable. After it is torn down what will replace it ??? Does it have to stay an empty lot? What is the purpose of zoning that prevents any building at all on the site ?
@shumatsuopost I’d love to know which websites Jenny was using to research houses in Tokyo. Or was she just walking around neighborhoods and found them? Thank you!
Do these people have any history in Japan (Tokyo)? I lived in Edogawa ku for a year and I am not sure why they would want to live there? It is far from, what I imagine, is the stuff they would like to do. None of the properties have any parking. That is a negative for me. Shu, what are your clients planning to do in Japan? Do they speak Japanese? Do they have any connection with Japan, other than saying someone's parents come to Japan? Are they planning to live in Japan full-time?
Your views are right to the point and I believe those traveling to Japan just because may not be enough. Reality can be cruel when expectations don't match up, especially after the honey moon. I'm doing my homework before I visit so my friends are in the best possible position to help.
A lot of these people are lured in by the prices of the properties and don't do their homework. The first question, they should ask is why any Japanese people aren't buying these properties. Japan has individual and property companies that rent and sale houses as investments. Also these real estate companies list properties they want to get rid of, it's bad to say this but they sale the nice properties to the Japanese and the bad ones to foreigners.
Great Channel! Honestly it looks like you need at least ¥40,000,000 to ¥60,000,000 and above to find a decent Akiya if you were to invest, the price points below that just don`t seem worth the investment. If you`re looking for a place to stay and build up your real estate portfolio may be a good idea, but I`d rather throw that into Nvidia and get 50% and above return in a year.

I love the 3rd house but too many stairs. Probably the 2nd house cuz the renovation could be done in the way I want. Good luck in choosing!

German has multiple centers.
Stuggurt is one of the top most expensive living places 😅.
@@inggermanydeutschland3808 I live 60 km away from Stuttgart 😀

This has become my favorite channel!!! Hoping to visit Japan soon and see all this in person.
Thank you! Go for it!

That's another reason there are so many abandoned houses in Japan.
Can you please cover the Shonan area?

Do you have any offers in Fukuoka?
Not enough info. to know which to choose. Couldn't see in one, missed seeing some rooms in another, etc.
I want the listing for the duplex! How do I contact you for that
Are there requirements for selling property like here with real estate licenses?

Just cheaply built, dated houses on tiny lots, no green space, breathing on your neighbors. They aren't cheap in my book.
Why blur the wife's face out ? My guess either camera shy or privacy maybe
Doesn't want to be recognised, very easy.
