【英文】The rise in real estate prices in Japan due to foreign investors?
According to the latest survey by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, overseas residents purchased 3.5% of new homes in Tokyo's 23 wards between January and June 2025. Authorities state there are currently no signs that overseas buyers are significantly driving up housing prices, but they intend to continue monitoring market trends.
A notable point is that the proportion of overseas buyers increases the closer the location is to central Tokyo.
The “Central 6 Wards”: Chiyoda, Chuo, Minato, Shinjuku, Bunkyo, Shibuya
The overseas buyer ratio reached 7.5%, significantly exceeding the average for all 23 wards.
However, in other areas, the proportion is not as high as in the Central 6 Wards.
• Greater Tokyo Area (Metropolitan Area) as a whole: 1.9%
• Kyoto City: 2.5%
• Fukuoka City: 1.9%
• Yokohama City: 1.6%
• Nagoya City: 0.4%
Comparing the six central wards reveals significant divergence between them. This appears to be influenced by factors such as the number of new properties released for sale in a given year.
• Shinjuku Ward: 2024: 1.7% → First half of 2025: 14.6%
• Chuo Ward: 2024 2:2% → First half of 2025:0%
Incidentally, by nationality, the number of overseas buyers in Tokyo's 23 wards during the first half of 2025 was overwhelmingly dominated by Taiwanese buyers at 192 units.
This compares starkly with mainland China at 30 units and Singapore at 21 units.
As confirmed above, while the proportion of foreign buyers is increasing, experts seem to point out that, viewed from the overall market scale, overseas purchasing volume remains low and is not the primary cause of the current rise in Tokyo new-build housing prices.
The Japanese government's view is also that, at this stage, there is no direct evidence that foreign buyers are driving up housing prices. However, it acknowledges that interest in Tokyo real estate from buyers in Asia, such as Taiwan, is indeed increasing.
