Questions
How does the free trial work?
You get everything in Pro for 7 days. If Pro is not for you, cancel from your account before the trial ends and you pay nothing. Otherwise your membership starts automatically.
Can I change what I am looking for later?
Yes, as often as you like. Your search brief lives in your account: change the budget, regions, style or must-haves and the next selection follows it.
How are the houses chosen for me?
Your selection is tailor-made: we match your criteria against every house we track, all over Japan, then rank them on how well they fit you, how good the house looks and how fair the price is. You can rate each house with a thumbs up or down and we learn what you like.
How do I cancel?
In one click from your account, any time. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
Are you an estate agent?
No. We find, translate and check houses for you and put you in touch with the licensed agent selling them. We never take part in the sale.
How can I contact you?
Email us at hello@japan-houses.com. Pro members get priority answers.
Which currency will I pay in?
Your local currency where we can: US dollars, euros, pounds, Australian and Canadian dollars or yen, and an automatic conversion elsewhere. The price is shown at checkout before you confirm.
