6-7 % return isn't that great unless there's going to be a big rise in the value of the property,which doesn't happen here very often.You can get over 7 % in a simple term deposit these days....no agent fees,land taxes,maintainence costs etc.Real Estate in Japan is a bad,bad investment if you are just interested in capital return.

YuriOtani: "I have noticed the zero compassion displayed by some posters. The Americans did something call dehumanization. The turning of Japanese from people to animals. It is easy to kill non humans. The Americans come up with excuses to why the bombs were dropped...."

"But what these sages too often ignore is that Japan is a dynamic country, one that’s constantly evolving. Big cities are different than small towns, Kyushu is different than Hokkaido, and Tokyo has a heart thumping to a beat all its own"
Yeah right,dynamic country ??!! That's hilarious.Japan is Japan wherever you go,that's why we all travel overseas any chance we can.This guy needs to get ou a little more.
