We help people from anywhere in the world buy, rent and invest in Japanese property — with listings in plain English and agents who answer.
YUUSHI began with a problem its founders kept running into: Japan has one of the most stable property markets in the world, and almost none of it is legible to someone who does not read Japanese. Listings sat behind agency portals, prices were quoted in formats that made comparison hard, and enquiries went unanswered for weeks.
We built the platform we wanted to use — every listing translated and normalised, prices shown in your own currency, and a direct line to the agent handling the property. No lead resale, no bait listings.
Today we work with agencies across all 47 prefectures, from central Tokyo towers to resort chalets in Nagano, and support buyers in more than a dozen languages.
Every listing shows the full cost picture — price, management fees, deposits and taxes — before you enquire. No figures revealed only after contact.
Our partner agents are licensed in the areas they list. Area guides, transit times and neighbourhood data come from people who work there.
Financing, visa status, remote purchase and property management are the questions we get asked most, so we answer them up front.
We do not sell enquiries to third parties. Your details reach the agent handling the property you asked about, and no one else.
