Location Scout Deep Dive – Find the Perfect Place to Live, Invest, or Host in Japan

60-minute online consultation · one-time fee

Why Location Choice Is Critical

• Commute & lifestyle: An Osaka night-owl IT pro has very different needs from a Yokohama family seeking bilingual schools.
• Transport & car ownership: Some prefectures demand a car for groceries; others have trains every three minutes—affecting costs and driver-license paperwork.
• Visa type & work style: Remote engineers need fast fibre and co-working hubs; entrepreneur-visa holders chase city-hall start-up incentives.
• Regulation for investors: Kyoto caps Airbnb rentals at 60 days a year, while parts of Chiba allow 365 days if fire-safety rules are met.
• Resale outlook: Rural charm can mean low resale demand—population trends matter.

Choosing blindly can lead to buyer’s remorse, zoning headaches, or poor rental yield. One hour with an area-savvy adviser saves months of missteps.
