Follow-Up Co., Ltd. · ANHOME · Izumisano
A market shaped by regulation

The door closes.
Three cities remain open.

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.

2025 · 11 · 05  |  Announcement
Osaka announces new minpaku rules
New short-term rental licenses will only be available in three cities: Izumisano, Kaizuka, and Habikino. All other parts of Osaka stop issuing new licenses.
2026 · 05 · 30  |  Takes effect
The new rules begin
From this day on, only the three cities above can issue new minpaku licenses. This makes them a smaller, more premium market.
2026 · 06 →  |  What's next
A narrowing window
Tourism is rising and the rules are tightening. The chance to buy licensed properties in these three cities is shrinking. Secure your spot before the market tightens further.

松・竹・梅 · The three forms of ownership

Choose your path to Japan

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.

Osaka
A City the World Already Knows
The three-city license zone

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
Japan's Quiet Hawaii
Resort short-term · long-term for skilled workers

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.
