Homes in Japan under $1M

$1 million in Japan is elite but not absurd. Large family apartments in Tokyo's Minato or Chiyoda, historic machiya in Kyoto's Higashiyama, penthouses in Osaka's Nakanoshima, and ski-in chalets in Niseko or Hakuba. The weak yen means this feels like $700K used to. Foreign buyers face no additional taxes — Japan is unusually open compared to Singapore, Australia, or New Zealand. Niseko in particular has a thriving American and Australian ski-home market with full English-language property management. Registration tax, stamp duty, and consumption tax add ~7% in total closing costs.
