Ok, I've never bought a house in Japan before (and I don't intend to) but seeing as you asked, heres what I came up with:

4LDK 2 story house (thats 4 bedrooms, living, dining, kitchen) for US$373,364.

I got it from here Century 21, and I strongly suggest that you call them (they have english speaking staff) and talk more about it because I honestly have no idea.

I'm from Australia and buying big houses as investment properties is part of our culture, so buying a house in Japan (small, way too expensive for what you get, rapid depreciation etc) is not very wise for the foreigner... unless you're going to immigrate here?

houses are expensinve here... we were comparing my house at home and my girlfriends house here in Saitama/Tokyo and they are worth about the same... (800,000AUD) the only problem is the land is about 1/6 the size and the house is about 1/3 the size. Kiss a backyard, central heating walk in wardrobes etc good bye.

Thank you Rezz and yes I plan on immigrated there. That is a hella of lot cheaper than it is here(California, Usa) Depending on where the house is I meant rent, if I find a good deal if not just buy. Which I rather do, but it all depends. I will have to look on century 21 then I will probally call them. Thanks guys

Try this site, it's only available in Japanese, but you should be able to guess your way through the site by way of links. This link is for the full 23 wards of Tokyo Met. I live about 15 mins from Tokyo, the prices here range from about 400K to about 1.2M USD. Our place is 4 BR, study, on 250 m3 land with carport and was 600K if thats any indication of costs. I would not recommend buying unless you are planning on staying at least 10 years, any less and its a waste of money. Either way, you will lose money, but if you are here for 10 years at least you would get back what the house owed you (kind of)

lol @ carport/garage... why can't we just have one name for it? I was taught British English but teach 'American style' English, native English speakers not knowing what the other is saying drives me nuts.

Mostly for rent but this might help. Buying a house in Japan is complicated business for a foreigner. Best of luck to you!

Garage versus carport

'The obvious difference between a carport and a garage is that a garage can be completely closed in while a carport has a roof and pole supports.'

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
