According to Hong Kong media reports, since the beginning of the year, investors in Hong Kong have been very interested in Japanese real estate and have gone to Japan to buy houses in order to seek long-term returns and asset appreciation.
Among them, Osaka real estate is very popular. Why is this?
01
Hong Kong investors
Enter the Japanese real estate market
According to "Sing Tao Headlines", many middle-class people in Hong Kong used to be keen to go to Japan to buy real estate to meet their own living or rental needs.
Since this year, many investors have poured into the Japanese real estate market. These investors have clear goals and are searching for high-quality properties as investment targets. Some investors even spend a lot of money to buy whole houses at medium and high prices to seek long-term returns and asset appreciation.

The rise of this investment boom is inseparable from the continued decline of the yen exchange rate, because the yen-Hong Kong dollar exchange rate once hit a 34-year low, which undoubtedly became an important "catalyst" for Hong Kong investors to enter the Japanese real estate market.
However, the report emphasizes that one of the key factors for Hong Kong investors to favor Japanese real estate is that they have full confidence in Japan's economic development prospects in the next five or even ten years.

Osaka has great investment potential
Becoming a hot spot for investment
Among many investment destinations, Osaka has become a popular choice for Hong Kong investors with its huge economic growth potential.
Previously, the Japanese government announced that it would increase the number of tourists to 60 million by 2030. As an important tourist city in Japan, Osaka's tourism industry will also be further developed.
At the same time, Osaka's grand events are coming one after another. For example, the Osaka World Expo in 2025 and the Osaka Casino, which will open in 2030, will greatly increase the number of tourists in Osaka and promote the development of the local real estate market.
Purchasing real estate in Osaka at this time means a high rate of return for investors.
In addition, as Japan's "national strategic special zone", Osaka enjoys special policy preferences in areas such as homestay operations.
Homestays in Osaka can operate 365 days a year (other areas are limited to 180 days). This advantage has attracted a large number of investors to purchase properties in Osaka, aiming to open homestays and seize the opportunity of the rapid development of the tourism industry.
It can be seen that the Kansai urban circle with Osaka as the core is gradually rising as an increasingly prosperous Japanese real estate investment market.
In recent years, the Japanese real estate market has entered a "white-hot" stage, especially in Osaka and Tokyo, with significant increases in housing prices. Many areas in Osaka generally exceed 20%, and popular areas in Tokyo even reach 50%.
This trend has attracted many investors from all over the world. Recently, Jack Ma's Yunfeng Fund also announced an investment of nearly 5 billion yuan in the Japanese real estate market, demonstrating its confidence and optimism in the market.
In addition, according to statistics recently released by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), the global real estate market fell by 6% in the first quarter of this year, while Japan's transaction volume soared nearly twice to become the world's first.
It can be seen that it is the right time to invest in Japanese real estate!
