A drastic change in Japanese society – an assured increase of Chinese tourists

Dear Investors and Buyers:

 

 

Some 16,000,000 Chinese families are now eligible for a Japanese tourist visa.

 

Japanese government has drastically eased conditions for Chinese people to obtain a tourist visa issued by Japan.  Paricularly, Chinese people must earn at least 3,260,000 yen/year to be eligible before; but all Chinese people must earn is 850,000 yen/year to obtain a Japanese tourist visa now.  In addition to the new criterion, they must present no crime records and have a decent credit card. 

 

 

Future increase of Chinese tourists will probably change so many aspects of Japanese society.  No one is certain how much of impact it will give on Japanese society.   But it is safe to say that there will be far more Chinese real estate buyers than ever before for years to come.

 

 

Real estate industry here must prepare itself for coming changes with regard to increase of Chinese tourists.

 

 

Best regards,

Interesting investment opportunities with medical facilities at the heart of Tokyo

Dear Investors:

 

 

Let us introduce you investment opportunities with a property consisting of a nursery home and medical clinics in a central district of Tokyo.

 

 

Type: nursery home + medical clinics

Address: 2, Shinkawa, Chuo-ku, Tokyo ( 7-min walk from Hacchobori station of Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line)

Land: 602.87 square meters

Floor area: 2,046.43 square meters

Structure: Reinforced Concrete / 6 stories

Completion: 1984

Coverage: 80%

FAR: 500%

Current lease terms:  lessee – a Japanese company providing medical survices for the aged / monthly rent – 5,500,000 yen / annual rent – 66,000,000 yen / a 20-year lease from 11/15/2009 to 11/14/2029

Current use: 1 F (402.99 square meters) – a medical clinic / 2F (384.81 sq. meters) – a medical clinic / 3F (409.36 sq. meters) – a nursery home with 11 beds / 4F (359.67 sq. meters) – a nursery home with 8 beds / 5F (254.68 sq. meters) – a nursery home with 8 beds / 6F (234.92 sq. meters) –

Asking price: 800,000,000 yen (to be negotiated)

Yield: 8.25%

 

 

Investing in medical facilities in Japan will be stable and keep producing high returns because rapid aging is real and faster in Japan than any other country in the world and demand for medical services for the aged will probably stay high. 

 

 

Also, operating costs will be wavered to some extent because the tenant is responsible for payment of fees related to maintenance and utilities.  Moreover, the property has been fully renovated in December of 2009 at 300,000,000 yen which is tenant’s expense.

 

 

The property is east of Tokyo station by about 1.5 kilometers and within a walking distance of the station.  

 

 

Please ask us, if you have any questions or need further information.

 

 

Best regards,

Japan’s surety about tax policy – increase of consumption tax

Dear Investors:

 

In Japan, the ruling coalition party and the largest opposition party have announced two days ago that they are going to discuss a future increase of consumption tax and ask Japanese voters for understanding of and support for the new policy.   This means that increase of consumption tax will be one of the main agendas for the next national election for sure and that it will probably take place soon regardless of which of the two parties comes into power.

 

Japan’s current consumption tax is 5% , which is relatively low compared with other countries’ consumption taxes.  It looks that lawmakers are going to double it.

 

 

It will greatly affect the real estate market of Japan.

 

 

Best regards,

A commercial building in Kabukicho is for sale.  Kabukicho is Japan’s most famous red-light district which is always flooded with people, including international tourists.

 

 

Address: 1, Okubo, Shijuku-ku (8-min walk to Shinjuku station)

Land: 478.95 square meters

Floor area: 3,007.02 square meters

Structure: SRC / 9-story + 1-story underground

Please be careful when you purchase real estate in Kabukicho or anywhere in Japan where gangsters or yakuzas may still be powerful.

 

 

Best regards,
