Japan to regulate use and purchase of strategic real estate
7 April 2022
New legislation to regulate the use and purchase of real estate in Japan is scheduled to enter into force in autumn 2022. It is expected that real estate around national security related facilities and islands close to Japan's national border will be subject to review by the Japanese government, and the transfer of such real estate may trigger pre-signing filings. Any person who owns or intends to acquire real estate in Japan should check if such real estate is regulated by this new legislation.
