How AkiyaScope works
Search
Listings are paused: we removed the ones copied from property portals, whose terms don't allow it. They come back only from sources that allow it.
Understand the risks
Plain-English explanations of earthquake history, building era and buying costs.
Buy with confidence
Calculate the true cost of ownership, compare properties side by side, and track your deals from offer to closing.

Property details in English
Key property details — structure, zoning, land rights, and addresses — presented in English so you can compare listings without a translator.
True cost of ownership
Calculate acquisition costs, renovation estimates, and rental yield projections — including Japanese taxes and fees most buyers miss.
