Tokyo Commercial Real Estate for Overseas Investors
English-speaking commercial real estate agent in Tokyo specializing in office, retail, hotel and mixed-use assets for overseas investors.
Minimum investment ¥500M.
Aki Shimizu is the Broker-Owner of RE/MAX Top Agent and a Tokyo-based, English-speaking commercial real estate agent with professional experience in both the New York and Tokyo markets.
She focuses on international transactions for premium commercial assets across central Tokyo — including office, retail, and mixed-use buildings, as well as hotels in and around the city.
Aki supports overseas investors seeking structured, compliant access to Tokyo’s commercial property market, with a focus on clarity, professionalism, and long-term relationships.
Her mission is simple yet focused — to help discerning clients access Japan’s commercial real estate opportunities with confidence and peace of mind.
Japan offers a stable political environment, strong rule of law, and predictable regulatory frameworks — essential fundamentals for long-term commercial real estate investment.

Tokyo’s commercial real estate market is well-established, highly regulated, and supported by clear ownership rights, detailed disclosures, and enforceable contracts.

As Asia’s leading business hub, Tokyo benefits from long-term corporate tenancy, diversified industries, and strong demand for office, retail, and hospitality assets.

Tokyo has demonstrated resilience through global economic shifts, supported by domestic demand, institutional participation, and conservative financing practices.

There are no restrictions on foreign ownership of Japanese real estate, allowing overseas investors to acquire commercial property with the same ownership rights as domestic buyers.

For global investors, Tokyo offers exposure to the Japanese yen and a market often viewed as a safe-haven for capital preservation.

I offer commercial real estate brokerage services tailored to overseas investors, including acquisition support, property evaluation, transaction coordination, and advisory throughout the investment process.
My services focus exclusively on commercial assets in Tokyo and are delivered in English with local regulatory expertise.
Office buildings, retail assets, hotels, and select mixed-use and residential income-producing properties.

Financing options depend on your situation. Overseas investors purchasing from abroad typically complete transactions in cash or arrange financing through their own financial institutions in their home country. If you or your company has an established legal presence in Japan, local bank financing may be available. I can guide you through the options relevant to your specific circumstances and connect you with the right professionals.
If you own commercial property in Tokyo and are considering a sale, I would be happy to discuss your options. I work with both buyers and sellers on commercial transactions across central Tokyo. Please reach out directly to schedule a confidential consultation and I will provide an honest assessment of your property and the current market.
Simply contact me through the inquiry form or reach out directly by phone, email, or WhatsApp. As many of my clients are based overseas, I accommodate different time zones and can arrange virtual viewings before an in-person visit toTokyo. For serious inquiries, I am happy to coordinate a full property tour during your visit.
