Naomi Fukuda

Real Estate Professional &
Certified Financial Planner

“I stand beside my clients, bringing all of my knowledge and experience to guide them toward the best possible outcome.” I didn't come to real estate by accident. After years working internationally — with JTB and as Japan PR Director for Tourism Northern Territory, Australia — I understood firsthand what it means to navigate a foreign system in a foreign language. That experience became the foundation of everything I do.

Today, I bring that global perspective to every client relationship, combined with the qualifications that matter: a licensed real estate agent (Licensed Real Estate Transaction Specialist), Affiliated Financial Planner Certified Financial Planner, and six years of proven results — including the #1 sales record among 400 agents.

My clients trust me not just to find them a property, but to guide them through one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives — with clarity, expertise, and care.

"I am now living in my dream home in Tokyo and can say that this would not have been possible without the amazing work that Ms. Fukuda put in throughout every step of the process.

From the initial home-searching process, all the way through the purchasing, and even the moving-in process, Ms. Fukuda goes above-and-beyond to make sure you are provided with the best service.

As a foreigner living in Japan with limited Japanese-communication abilities, this home-buying process should have been extremely daunting for me; especially with all the complex procedures and mountains of paperwork with technical language. Ms. Fukuda made sure to translate everything thoroughly for me and patiently guide me every step of the way. Her keen knowledge and competence paired with her warmth and kindness alleviated the stress of the process.

Even after I have purchased my home and paid Ms. Fukuda for her services — which is a completely reasonable point for real estate agents to end their services — Ms. Fukuda continued to follow up to make sure I was completely settled in. She even went as far as to help me transfer my utilities over to the new place, have my desired amenities installed, and made sure I was able to move-in smoothly. And these are just a few of the countless examples of Ms. Fukuda going above what is required.

I was truly blessed to have the chance to work with Ms. Fukuda and I hope that you will also choose to work with her for your next home."

"Naomi-san has been phenomenal in helping us find a suitable place in Tokyo.

I had some timing constraints due to my travel schedule, and specific requirements about location, size, price, and more. She has been very efficient in selecting a short list of perfectly matching places, and organizing visits on short notice. Once we found the place we liked, she was particularly helpful in helping me understand the specificities of buying a property in Japan, and helping me navigate the process. She continued to help us after the transaction, until we could settle in the new place.

I have bought several places in different countries in the past. Naomi-san has been the most pleasant and efficient agent I worked with. I particularly appreciated her responsiveness and her efforts to work around my busy schedule. I definitely recommend working with her."

"I just wanted to write you a note of thanks for all the excellent service you have provided throughout our home-buying process.

You went "above and beyond the call of duty," as we say, and the level of service and attention to detail for your clients exceeded all my expectations. I am thrilled with the new place in Nishishinjuku and I have happily referred you to my law partners and friends in Asia.

I should be back in Tokyo at the end of June/early July and would love to take you out to dinner if your schedule permits. We can also take a "handing-over-the-keys" photo that I can use when I write an online review for you and your company.

With my deepest gratitude and warmest regards, Carlos"

Frequently Asked Questions

Can foreigners buy property in Tokyo? +

Yes — foreigners can freely purchase property in Japan with no restrictions. I specialize in guiding foreign buyers through every step of the process entirely in English, from property search to signing the contract.

Can I get a mortgage in Japan as a foreign resident? +

Yes, it is possible if you are residing in Japan, have a stable income, and file a tax return (確定申告) in Japan. Eligibility depends on various screening criteria including income level, employment type, and the property itself. As an Affiliated Financial Planner Certified Financial Planner currently specialising in housing loan advice, I can help you understand your options and connect you with the right lenders for your situation.

I live outside Japan — can I still finance an investment property? +

Possibly, yes. Non-residents purchasing investment property may be able to access Japanese financing if they hold a Japanese company with genuine business operations (note: paper companies do not qualify). As with all mortgage applications, lender decisions depend on your income, the quality and yield potential of the property, and other screening criteria. Every case is different — contact me for a frank assessment of your specific situation.

What is the agent fee? +

In Japan, the agent fee is the same whether you are buying or selling: (3% of the property price + ¥60,000) + 10% consumption tax. For example, on a ¥80,000,000 property, this amounts to approximately ¥2,706,000 (tax included). I am happy to walk you through the full cost breakdown during your consultation.

What types of properties do you handle? +

I handle a wide range of properties across Tokyo — luxury condominiums, family homes, second residences, and investment properties. I have access to a vast professional property database to find the perfect match for your needs and budget.

What if the interior of the property I purchased feels worn and needs a refresh? +

No problem at all. Based on my experience in renovation consulting, I can advise you on the best ways to refresh and upgrade your interior — from minor cosmetic updates to full refurbishments. I'll help you maximize both the comfort and the value of your property.

Do you support property management after purchase? +

Yes. I work with a sister property management company that provides full English support — handling tenant management, maintenance, and rental operations so you can own stress-free from anywhere in the world.

Can you help me sell my property in Japan? +

I offer a free property valuation and selling consultation. I advise on the best asking price, market timing, and selling strategy to maximize your return. Contact me to get started — no obligation.
