:roll: Ask Japanese American citizens how the American government under the Democrat FDR was in the 40s.

We currently have a big problem with Japanese investors, buying houses cash and renting them out.

Here is an example of one that was sold recently: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/410-Nahua-St-APT-402-Honolulu-HI-96815/2090546469_zpid/The catch is that the Hawaiian and Japanese families down there have a monopoly on everything or it's someone selling swampland to outside investors. 

I am skeptical of most real estate in japan, let alone Turnkey where there will tale an extra cut for managing, legal, and translation bit of it (all contracts in Japanese).

. - Buyer market: most cities or travel zone destination has been a target for investment from wealthy family from the Mainland specifically, Japanese and South Korean recently.

A lot more Japanese and Korean companies are moving in. 

Your only issue is language and culture barriers - they're very foreigner shy and where the good deals are, almost no one speaks English - so you have to rely on turnkey operators like ourselves.Personally, the vast majority of our portfolio is Japanese, with euro and USA hedges - wouldn't have it any other way, but I'm biased. ;)

Being in Plano, you are going to get a lot more Priuses coming your way and a lot of people probably complaining about the lack of decent sushi and Japanese food in town until some new ones can open up as the area in SoCal where Toyota is like a suburban Little Tokyo. 

A high percentage of the visitor here have always been Japanese.

That is the question that confronted Gaku and Yukiko Tomii, two 30-something dentists, who wanted to build a fun, unusual living space atop a hill minutes away from some of the most storied temples in the country.Their answer: T-House, a 2,152-square-foot, $669,000 modernist cube of a dwelling, which meets Kyoto's strict design regulations on the outside but bends all the rules on the inside.From the street, the simple lines and traditional white and dark-brown coloring of T-House help it blend with the traditional Japanese-style homes in the woody, suburban neighborhood of northwestern Kyoto where it is located.
