Join me on this journey—watch here!
Welcome back to Julie Spark’s blog, your trusted source for savvy financial advice and lifestyle transformation. Today, I am thrilled to share with you my latest and most exciting venture yet—investing in property in the breathtaking Hokkaido region of Japan. My journey so far has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m eager to show you how easy and profitable it can be to own property in Japan, even if you’re not a Japanese citizen.
Why Japan?
Having conducted business in various countries like Indonesia and Thailand, I can confidently say that Japan has been the most straightforward and well-organized place for property investment. The process of owning property in Japan is highly transparent and foreigner-friendly. You can own property in your name, obtain the necessary licenses, and rent it out on platforms like Airbnb or for long-term stays.
The Basics: Getting Started
One of the first steps in my journey was finding reliable services to manage my property. Enter Mailmate, an affordable virtual assistant service that handles all your mail and utilities for just $100 a month. They scan your mail and send it to you within 24 hours, making it incredibly convenient to manage your property remotely. From electricity to water bills, Mailmate takes care of it all, ensuring you have peace of mind.
Location, Location, Location: Why Hokkaido?
After researching various regions in Japan, I decided on Hokkaido, specifically a charming town called Yoshi. Hokkaido is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, from majestic mountains and active volcanoes to beautiful ocean views and cherry blossom trees. Yoshi town, located nearer to the ocean, offers a more temperate climate compared to other parts of Hokkaido, making it a highly desirable location.
The Allure of Yoshi
Yoshi has so much to offer: fantastic skiing and snowboarding resorts, a whiskey distillery, wineries, and delicious local produce like apples. The food scene is vibrant, and the people are remarkably friendly, as confirmed by my friend who lived in Japan for two years. The town’s unique blend of natural beauty and rich culture makes it the perfect place for my next investment.
How Easy Is It?
One of the biggest draws of investing in Japan has been the ease with which you can complete the process. After organizing a meeting online, the service providers will walk you through everything you need to know. You can receive contracts electronically and make payments via platforms like Wise, making international transactions seamless.
Documenting the Journey
I will be documenting this entire journey, from purchasing the property to managing rentals and everything in between. This is not just an investment for me; it’s an adventure and a chance to immerse myself in a culture that I find deeply inspiring. Japan’s harmonious blend of chaos and tranquility, from bustling Tokyo to serene countryside, resonates strongly with me.
