Osaka has been one of Japan's most popular places for short-term rental (minpaku) investment. But the rules have changed. New licenses are now only granted in three cities, making them rarer and more valuable. ANHOME is already based in one of these three cities.
We organize each property offering around three distinct ownership
concepts inspired by traditional Japanese values: Matsu (pine),
Take (bamboo) and Ume (plum).
These are not levels of quality, but different ways of experiencing
life and investment in Japan. Whether you seek a lasting legacy,
stable long-term residency, or flexible short-term returns, each
model is designed to match your lifestyle and goals. Choose the
approach that best fits the future you envision in Japan.
A short-term rental investment located within the regulated cities of Izumisano, Kaizuka and Habikino. Enjoy flexible stays while your property generates income in your absence.
A monthly residential rental model designed for highly skilled foreign professionals across the KIX region and Western Japan. Owners may reserve one private room exclusively for personal use.
A Japanese estate, customised to you. Choose your location — the classic heritage cities of Kyoto, Nara and Kanazawa, or anywhere in Japan you have a connection to. We source the property and rebuild it to your design.
Every property we offer is carefully selected within five unique regions of Japan, each offering a different lifestyle, culture and investment experience. Each destination offers a unique balance of lifestyle, accessibility, and investment potential, letting you choose the experience that feels right for you.
Every journey on this page starts here. Our Izumisano office is just 12 minutes away, and Kansai International Airport links directly to major cities across Asia, bringing your future tenants in, flight after flight.
After May 30, only three Osaka cities can still issue new minpaku licenses, and our office is in one of them. Everyone knows this Osaka: the Glico sign, the crowds, the energy. The new regulation is what turns that demand into a protected, finite opportunity nearby.
Okinawa is Japan's only subtropical prefecture, warm, in demand, and tourist-ready every month of the year. Visitor numbers have nearly doubled in two decades, and a major new theme park that opened in 2025 is now drawing thousands of workers to the island. That's two income streams in one place: resort rentals for the steady flow of Asian visitors, and long-term housing for the workforce building Okinawa's future.
A wave of new semiconductor plants has brought thousands of Taiwanese engineers and their families to a city that has guarded its history for four centuries. For investors, this is where capital meets community, a place where your tenants already feel at home.
Asian corporate headquarters keep opening here, and the riverside neons make it the night capital of the region. Demand for high-quality housing outpaces supply, and the yatai-lined river view is something your tenants won't get tired of.
