The Japan Real Estate Summit returns this spring as a two-day immersive event designed for anyone interested in buying, owning or investing in property across Japan. Held in Tokyo, the summit brings together experienced investors, industry professionals and newcomers exploring the market for the first time.

Across the weekend, speakers and panelists will share practical insights and real-world strategies on topics such as property acquisition, financing options, renovation strategies, tax considerations and investment models that are gaining traction in Japan. The sessions are designed to offer actionable guidance, helping participants better understand how the market works and what steps are involved in building or managing a property portfolio.

The program also encourages discussion and communication among attendees, with breakout conversations, Q&A sessions and networking opportunities throughout the event.
