Japan Investor Club

WHERE, WHAT AND HOW? CREATE YOUR WINNING PORTFOLIO IN JAPAN

Brexit, the US-China trade war, and the political crisis in Hong Kong all drive the global investment funds diving into the Japanese real estate market. The influx of deep-pocketed foreign players, supported by the Bank of Japan’s ultra-low borrowing cost that offers attractive returns, indicates that the property boom in Japan especially Tokyo is unlikely to lose steam anytime soon.

However, heavy taxation can kill any investment without proper planning. Thus, creative investment plans and structures are on the forefront regardless of the size of investment. Please join our Japan Investor Club. Let us, as a Japanese origin real estate advisory firm guide you through the relatively complicated process of building a winning portfolio. Language barrier, cultural difference and closed market information will no longer be the hurdles when you invest in Japan market with us.

ROOM TO GROW

Diversification of the Japanese Hotel Industry
A thriving Japanese economy and a new wave of tourism has created an unprecedented interest in hotel investment, creating increased competition in the country’s key cities. As developers and major hotel chains continue launching new projects, differentiation of operation model and style are the key to success.

This issue features the following three segments which can differentiate from the standard hotels in Japanese Hotel Industry.

TRUNK (HOTEL) offers a truly “made in Japan” experience that draws from both the tradition and the trend of Tokyo.

Apartment Hotel

Flexibility with common space to share among families and friends travelling together is in high demand. Apartment Hotel offers a range of apartment-style rooms in different sizes which include a kitchenette and living area. Approximately 60% of inbound tourists are travelling in such groups, the demand for this segment continues to grow.

Located in Osaka, Minn Hotel boasts a relaxing, minimalist design that provides everything a family need for a cozy home away from home.

More and more Hotel chains are testing this segment. Generally, boutique-style property and room rates can range from affordable to high-end.

The Moxy Hotel, operated by the prestigious Marriott hotel group, has a hip and upbeat feel, with trendy and stylish interiors.
