The Flagship
The Akiya Guide
The walkthrough for foreign buyers who have stopped asking whether to buy and started asking how. It takes you from reading a listing to settling the purchase, written so you can act on it, not just nod along.
Understand the whole process before you contact your first agent.
Estimate your total investment, not just the listing price.
Know where to search instead of scrolling random sites.
Run the legal and tax checks yourself, against free official sources.
Tell a bargain from a money pit before you make an offer.
358 pages, 29 chapters, 30+ worksheets, glossary and index. Instant download, yours to keep. Sourced to Japanese government primaries, updated for 2026.
$199
One-time. Yours to keep. Instant download.
It's a PDF, nothing gets shipped. You get the download link the moment you buy.
Some costs you can't avoid, the agent included, and the guide names every one so nothing catches you off guard at the desk. What it also does is show you the things you were about to pay for that you never actually needed to.
