Is there a loop home to get residency in Japan by buying a house?

>>19186243

no loopholes
after buying the house you either marry a Japanese or get an investor visa
both cost a fortune

Is there any good game where you can simulate a /jp/ mansion? Like if you modded Dwarf Fortress to be about /jp/ stuff I mean, not an online game with people gathering. A game where you can put a bunch of nerds in a house and see what ensues or go around interacting.

Damn, I just bought my own little apartment in the city. Had no idea anything like this was going on, as I could have put in maybe 40 million yen into it.
>>19186332
Actually Fukuoka has very lax special programs for investors/entrepreneurs recently. Its even going as far as creating incubators and foreigner help as long as you can get something profitable going in 6 months or so.
>>19186243
I think a visa is overrated unless you want to work. If you are self-employed you can just live here 6 months at a time and spend your least favorite seasons elsewhere (summer here is a fucking pain)

>>19187692
Id rather live their permanently. Instead of having to leave every year. Then again i could say hi to my parents every so often

>>19187735
Honestly you should just get married, then. I went the tough route and its only barely worth it. If I could do it again I would set myself up to only vacation for 3-6 months at a time.

>>19187755
How did you do it? I'm planning to get a bachelors degree and get on the JET program for 5 years. Hopefully I can find someone to marry at that time

I wonder, do the Japanese still use passbooks or is that just an anime trope now, like PE bloomers?

/jp/ mansion will inevitably turn into a crack house.

>>19191314
Everyone uses passports. But maybe not for national travel like in the US
>>19191424
More like a pedo ring that dresses their girls in touhou cosplay

>>19191424

nah, more like an hostel, with anons forced to go back and forth from their countries for visa issues; the community will always change month after month; which means that strong rules should be set to avoid chaos

also I can see a little business about import/export, with a website in 10 or more languages

>>19194143
I could import german beer, and export japanese stuff.
Win-win situation for both countries.

How is this being organized? Is there more photos, money?

>>19194457

The problem is that /jp/ isn't doing an actual coordinated effort to do something like this.
It would be complicated to do after all.
Managing visas, raising funds, buying property, working.

>>19199078

The rest falls into place on its own. I don't have a visa yet and own my own apartment, you can set up utilities monthly in cash payments at the conbini or set up automatic charges. If we are talking about some sort of /jp/ sharehouse you aren't even going to be there long enough to need a visa.

>>19199751
>and own my own apartment,
How? You mean you don't rent it, but bought it?
I didn't know one could do that without a visa.
Whats the price for that?

>>19199778
Japan's not North Korea, you don't have to be have a visa to own property, but it does make things easier.

Almost all apartments in Japan are sold like separate condos. I own my apartment's interior and some percentage of the building as a whole, and I pay a small condo fee for the maintenance and stuff.

The price varies wildly depending on many factors, but I think 20,000 USD for a no-frills studio mansion within 1 hours commute to a large city is probably the bare minimum worth bothering with.

You can also find used vacation cabins in very remote campgrounds in mountains and forests for 10-20K as well for a little more space. However you would need a car or a scooter at the very least to commute to buy provisions and food from the nearest town. Also it would feel very Japanese with few Japanese around in the empty inaka.

>>19199838
>20,000 USD
That sounds doable, but not right now for me.
I'm currently saving my neetbucks for a one-year stay.
I need a relatively cheap place to stay, and owning a condo would certainly help.

>>19199880
Its better than paying gaijin rent, which is at least twice what the Japanese pay for the same property. You can also airbnb it out for the times you aren't there.

>>19199904
How do I not get gaijin rent?
Or rather, is there a way to?

>>19199923
Buy an apartment. No really, there is no other way unless you have a buddy in Japan who owns property and is willing to rent to you. The standard of background information, personal history, and guarantors required for renting in Japan is insane. As a foreigner you are basically an alien entity with no ties to anything or obligations to be held to. Hell, even Japanese kids with little established background and connections have to resort to renting Leopalace type places which are about the same price and have a shady reputation.

The only other way I can think of is landing a job that provides accommodation, or helps sponsor it for you.

>>19199962
Well, that sucks. No wonder some just stay in netcafes (something I thought about potentially doing too)
I'll have to see if there is a way to not spend a ton of money on rent.

>>19200036
that might work. they charge the same to anyone and I heard of one opening in tokyo that actually specializes is daily "room" rentals if you are good at minimalism. I saw it Japanese TV so I cant remember the name, but its like an extra wide cubical with a locking door and a cushioned floor for sleeping. When you consider free drinks, utilities, and internet its not too terrible a deal for the price.

>>19200058
Yeah, it also allows me to more or less freely relocate across cities.
No need to be bound to one place just because you need to pay rent there. (Or rather no need to pay money for a place I'm not sleeping in)
There are a ton of negatives too (not being able to cook a proper meal for example), but we'll see how annoying these will be.

>>19200092
Cooking for just yourself is actually really not needed. In fact I think I end up spending more money on ingredients than if i just bought 300 yen meals since i insist on continue the farce of cooking for myself.

Food here is cheap , varied, and plentiful. It only becomes economical to cook for yourself with 2 or more people.

>>19199838
What's the minimum amount you need for a place with a toilet that you sit on and it can be flushed?

>>19200112
Is that so? I was there for 2 weeks, and meals were pretty cheap (even though I never looked much at the price), but I figured I could save some more if I cooked for myself.

I could live for half a year without working from what I have saved up, more than enough time to get some sort of income I think.

>>19199652
I could see good reasons for encouraging this (tear down old buildings to construct homes more resilient to earthquakes) and shady reasons (promote construction to prop up the economy)

If I'm not mistaken, a lot of housing in Japan dates back to the bubble era and was shoddily built for speculative purposes.

>>19200154
Well, cheap restaurants are easy to eat at for 500 yen or so, but you can go even cheaper by buying premade bento from mom and pop stalls or indie conbini for around 300 yen which is varied in nutrients and tasty. I think the best deal I ever saw was a small-time combini that always sold a tonkatsu bento for 250 yen. large fried pork cutlet, rice, and a couple sides/pickles included. even the cheapest homecooked meals usually match that price per serving, with all the headache and labor involved.
>>19200151
I saw a few old creepy shacks in the middle of nowhere, Gifu for about 5,000 USD if you can speak Japanese.

Japanese people just have English PTSD because they think everything is an entrance exam. If you can speak and understand enough Japanese or get someone to translate they will work with you, just make sure you can transfer money in full via bank wire.

>>19203456
Well, getting confirmation about doing something from strangers on the internet is kind of hard.
Also living in the sticks needs a bit of dedication.

Most of you people should be aware that most of these buildings are being sold as tear-downs. The building itself is unlivable and you're buying it on the cheap because there's hidden costs in demolition that few people will want to absorb.

One of these kinds of buildings is just down the street from me. It's literally just a shack

>>19203665
I gotta admit this one is pretty tempting. Assuming its not a demolish job or something insanely expensive renovating I would buy a room. I'm actually a hospitality industry enthusiast with some passing background that would be relevant.

I've made about 30k in cryptocoin trading and a good fellow /jp/ friend of mine has about 20k to invest.

We were thinking that if we could get a few more well-minded /jp/s with a 10k buy in, we could buy a pretty good place. Either an apartment building in a suburban location where we could also make a profit renting to locals or a fix up estate in the countryside we could get for cheap.

What do you think?
We'd probably mainly invite a very small amount of /jp/s we've known from IRC/Steam/Discord and maybe others from the board who seems interested. Key note that you'd have to seem somewhat mentally and financially stable because we've both already dealt with subhumans who manage to make their way to the board. That also means no gays or trannies.

where the fuck are /jp/sies getting 10k from?

>>19196520
...but what if I have tits? Am I not allowed in the /jp/ mansion?

>>19204369
>Either an apartment building in a suburban location
Might be a good idea if you can get enough money going for it.
Don't know if it will be possible to get a good size apartment building for such an amount of money, but I'm regularly surprised at some housing offers.
Renting it out can become a hassle though (unless you can make sure that only sane people live there)

I think expecting anyone to want to vacation, or live, in the sticks is kind of unrealistic, unless there is some great incentive for it.
For tourists that may be nice nature (and good PR).

I would participate, but I don't have enough money to invest.
What would be possible for me though is living there for a while (0.5 - 1 year). It'd be great if you could rent it out to me for a fair price.
The mentally stable part is down at least.

>>19204548
Manboobs don't count.

>>19204563
Do chemically induced hormone boobs count?

>>19203665
>Also living in the sticks needs a bit of dedication.
I think this would be the main problem for a lot of /jp/.
Only way to get really cheap is abandoned countryside farmhouses, which will require tearing down and rebuilding in most cases, or at the very least extensive diy repairs.

Also just living in the countryside would probably be a bit of a shock to most of the manchildren here.

>>19204580
>which will require tearing down and rebuilding in most cases, or at the very least extensive diy repairs.
This is no problem for me.
Daily live and convenience problems are worse. Eating out whenever you want is a nice part of city life in japan.
Also the fact that you don't get to visit the local anime store or such whenever you want is a bummer.
But those may be just small issues.

>>19204609
The real issue is finding work in the countryside as a gaijin to be able to support yourself. That and I wouldn't trust anyone on this board to be able to do that to keep our mansion from being foreclosed on.

>>19204573
Aren't all boobs chemically induced?

ITT a gaijin mansion can easily attract an harem of gaijin hunters girls that go there regularly for parties in the basement (karaoke, speed dating, videogame contests, cosplay, free Engrish practice, Oktoberfest) which will invariably end in wild sex after midnight and some beer

girls like these: 8ch /s/res/51.html

>stable job and manage to get a girlfriend

I was promised /jp/ mansion not this normalfag shittery.

>>19208300

>>19208372

yes it is; just use your imagination
if the mansion is in a city like Osaka, with some PR (posters, flyers, website, hashtags etc.) they'll come; maybe at first you'll need to pay some part time job girl to cheer up the place, but once you got the right pics to put in the poster for next events you are set

>>19208535
What's the point of them being there though? I'm not really comfortable with girls that aren't just maid help being in the mansion. Plus it's just asking to end like >>19194132

>>19208832
I understand what you mean, and i can see many reasons why just from that photo alone. I think the main reason is how they present themselves. The second guy from the left looks like he's forcing a smile for the camera, whereas the guy on the far right looks like he's having a good time with his new buddy. As for the girls, the white girl doesn't look too bad on her own but when all the others are making cute poses she feels out of place. Also smaller girls tend to look cuter than taller girls.

>>19204858
the amount of willpower it takes to do great things, usually comes at the exclusion of others who hold you back and complicate things. For example, when I set out to buy a cheap place I didn't come to /jp/ and post a thread with a handful of bumps, hoping to somehow go in one something with some anon I know nothing about.

I don't see in what universe this would work out, other than there be no other way to do it. At the very least you would need to coordinate with anons already in Japan like at the Big Saw meetups during comiket.

Let's say on the theory that someone goes along with this and the mansion becomes a regular jaypee homestead + temporary home for jaypee tourists in Japan for a better/cheaper living condition, what's stopping the place from being flooded with a constant array of non jayps?

>>19211523

How many tries do you get?

/jp/ mansion:
Gain control of a sanatorium, halfway house, or asylum and make it a place to treat 'autism'. Only take in /jp/sies who managed to get on autism bucks. Attempt to receive funding in various ways. Get the less shitty ones to work in order to pretend you're actually helping them. Just needs a few /jp/sies that managed to become successful enough to become a doctor or psych.

>>19213468
>>19211591
>Halfway houses in the US generally fall into one of two models. In one model upon admission, a patient is classified as to the type of disability, ability to reintegrate into society, and expected time frame for doing so. They may be placed into an open bay same-sex dormitory similar to that found in military basic training with fifty or a hundred similar residents in a gymnasium-type setting all going through the same thing at the same time. As the patients become able to increase their skill level and decrease their dependency on support services, the dorm members become fewer to the point where, at the final stage before being able to get their own apartment, the patient may have only one or two roommates.

This is how the filter works. Potentials just all live in a big shitty room and play touhou as part of treatment. Those who do the best in them get better, more private rooms. Those who suck or are too obsessed with idols or too normalfag extrovert stay in the room or eventually are declared okay and let go.

can we export sex films of the /jp/sies in touhou clothing?

/qa/ updated this /jp/ mansion.
The /jp/mansion is now in the works of becoming a farm project on /qa/. Once I have the capability I can buy land and build a barn and additional housing building. I wouldn't be able to simply anyone. Preferably you would be extra hands on the farm, but you could only stay for a year each for free simply working to build your resumes. Kind of take it easy with a few chores around the farm. This is good 3 years away.

The only problem is....
**you're not allowed to masturbate on my property. No gay stuff either.**

>>19214161

*I wouldnt be able to pay anyone

>>19214161
why would anyone go there if no gay was allowed

>>19214181
At best 1/3 of /jp/ is gay.
1/3 is indifferent towards gays.
The last 3rd slays gays.

>>19214208
that is incredibly hot

>>19214213
A good portion of /jp/ is gay due to being so pathetic that they can't talk to women, so they resort to being gay in hopes that others as pathetic as them will have hook ups in desperation or that they're so self deluded in thinking strait men are so horny that they'll sleep with them as well.

To become so deprived of a back bone or social skills /jp/ers will and have developed actual homosexuality. Not deep seeded homosexuality, but homosexuality deriving from a lonely horniness that they refuse to explore through women out of fear.

mansion renovation anon here. I originally posted on /日本の風景/ but I think this thread is more relevant. Just wanted to update that renovations are moving forward for the next few months. If a thread like this is still around I'll occasionally give updates/photos.

Also to let any anone with ambitions to buy a cheap property in Japan; You do NOT need a Japanese bank account or resident visa to set up utilities like I have seen posted everywhere online. You can both buy property and pay for utilities and living needs with only your tourist visa and credit card. In my case My water, gas, and electric bills all arrive in the mail with a barcode that can be scanned and paid at any conbini. I also didn't need a hanko, but I had one made in English characters anyway just to make things easier. The only thing I would really recommend is either a strong amount of Japanese or employing someone who can speak good English and handle dealing with people in Japanese on your behalf like a bilingual realtor or good friend.

Crossboarder here so this is the first time I've heard of this. Sounds pretty neat, but I honestly doubt it'll ever amount to anything more than a few people who met over /jp/ sharing an apartment desu. Still, if you guys think you can achieve something without fucking it up then more power to you. If you do ever get to buying something; then please let it be a western-style mansion like pic related or the SDM. Even better if it's somewhere without many people nearby.

I'd prefer a very traditional Japanese style house. mansion, or apartment that is both up to code and has been renovated to allow for modern conveniences like electricity, AC, and internal heating. I like the aesthetic of European architecture and interior design, but I'm kinda sick of it. Basically I'd rather do Eientei than the SDM.

>>19224071
Hm...I agree, the European aesthetic is undeniably overdone by this point, but there's something romantic in living in a Western mansion as a form of the same idyllic escapism that people from that era were looking for. Maids, servants, companions, caretakers and the owner's family all sharing a roof is more romantic than your average Japanese mansion's aesthetic, at least in my opinion. However, either one's okay with me. Sooner or later we'd probably get tired of playing pretend in frilly dresses.
Or we could, y'know, go full Yukari mode on this bitch and make the most garish-looking mansion ever created by mixing both western and eastern designs.

>>19224199
Who says a Japanese mansion can't capture that same romanticism? Japanese mansions also have nice courtyards that we could play in. Imagine drinking cheap beer and sake in the shade on a hot summer day with cosplay buds. I'm down with the Yukari idea too.

>>19224032
I dont know anon. I've met quite a few /jp/ I person. If I average put the mount I've met that are actually gay with the few I've met and it's actually 1/3 of them being gay. Once I open the farm and living quarters I can take a 2 year period to let /jp/ members stay and work on the farm. Utilities like electricity and water have to be taken into account somehow and that's pretty much just doing chores around the place. I dont think I can pay anyone and it's just like food and utilities are paid for maybe in return. Update incoming /jp/'s resumes and hel0 them get work if they're NEETS IN recovery looking for something to help them make the next move in life. I'd have to put some kind of liability claim together. This is a 5 year plan. Im really just learning the in and ours of farming and business strategy right now not to.memtion scoping out property. This will serve as the starting point of turning the property/building into some kind of bread and breakfast.

>>19227393
If NEETs could leave the comfort of their homes to go do manual labor at a strangers shady farm they wouldnt be NEETs in the first place. Being realistic here, it would work better as some sort of place to stay a week or weekend and have a meetup.

Has no one made a kind of business based on "employing" foreigners to do nothing as they pay their own expenses so that they can acquire a resident visa because of "working" for a long enough time, or at least until they get an actual job? Maybe the contractors could cause legal trouble to the employer, but they could hire certain people under the right conditions like knowing them enough. Does anyone living in Japan know if there are any kinds of "business" like this and what trouble they could cause?

>>19264800
What would the benefits be to the owner of such a business? If you want to do nothing, I'm sure there are normal businesses that would hire a qualified foreigner just to look cool and multinational.

>>19264876
The business model that I suggested would be based around the idea of contractors giving money to the employers, which they would use as the contractors' pay (because why would you give them your own money to do literally nothing). Obviously, you could ask them for more money than you'd pay them so that you get something out of it.

Even if you get jobs in Japan you aren't assured to have them for long enough to fulfill the requirements for a resident visa, and may get told to go back to your country. This would merely be a way for people to stay temporarily if they've been working for quite some time and lost their job.

They'd have to give you the minimum wage money, but also other expenses such as health insurance, which means it's both a pain in the ass for the employers and quite expensive for the contractors, hence why I'm suggesting that it be limited to cases like the one I mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Also, to ensure that you won't have to pay them a month's salary before they give you the money, you could for example stipulate that they'd have to give you the money fifteen days before payday, otherwise you'll terminate the contract.

It's quite a bit of work and I know there'd be only a handful of people interested in starting such a business, I'm more pondering the possibilities than searching for realistic businesses.

>>19264987
Isn't there some sort of tax related thing that would fuck you over? Like even if it's legal for them to give you money that you give back to them, don't they have to pay some sort of income tax on it when they get it back and you have to pay some sort of business tax for getting it from them?

But besides all that, what do they have to gain from you being able to stay in Japan? You're not really providing workers for them. Why would they just have you there and not get some extra money from having you do any sort of work? On top of that, the so-called contractors would still have to have some sort of income to be able to pay the business.

There's probably a few real workers you'd have to hire too, to handle the money. It'd probably be less complicated and money wasting to make a service where you hired japanese workers and paired them up with foreign workers so they'd get married, or associate with some yakuza group who will protect you/give you fake papers until you can get real ones if you work for their businesses. or something.

>>19264800

the job must be something that any other Japanese can't do; this is why the majority of English speakers just teach English as a job

if the immigration office finds out that your "business" is to facilitate others to stay in Japan, they'll put you in jail, for years, and everyone else deported and denied re-entry, for years

>>19229330
Yeah.
After making that post I went and did research on rralistate. By opening up a personal property to such legal contracts you could loose everything and simultaneously face jail time on a federal level of someone felt like they could use you even if it wasn't justifiable all to gain money or the property.

It wouldnt work unless you had an llc and property under that llc company.

The best we could do is build some guest housing and have a nice onr week vacation for everyone to meet at while setting up some easy optional venue.

To all the anons here hoping to make a /jp/ mansion where everyone loses at be warned: you're opening yourself up to serious leigal trouble and risk if any /jp/ member was smart enough or devious enough to try and ruin you in hopes of personal profit of your hard work.

By this alone the mansion idea in terms of community living is a bust unless someone has the legal and financial ability to start a company dedicated to providing living space to actual /jp/ users.

That is a huge under taking as well as financial sour especially if the /jp/ NEET residents aremr willing to contribute anything in terms of equity.

The sad reality is this community housing would need grants and to get grants it would have to come under government regulations and most likely proving the NEET residents are mentality ill which opens up a huge disaster to each one of the neetsbeing labeled mentally disabled in the government records.

The best thing anyone here could do is get a mansion and invite NEETs over weekly and biweekly each year.

If 10 of us had mansions and had /jp/ neets over as guests for two weeks at a time than thays 140 out of the year days to eah of them for reluable housing and food.

Do you know how many Japanese theme parks have shut down due to so few children being born? Back in 2010 it was 79 alone. After 8 years I have no idea how many more have shut down.

It would be wise of the owners to make us an attraction and charge us some rent money, event if it was 10,000 yen a month.

>>19281269
It sounds like everything will be fine as long as you personally aren't allowed to live there.

>>19281440

The one anon here who got the free home in Japan whose going to work there for 6 months out of the year had a good idea.

Anyone who has a successful business who can afford to make the move of getting a free house in Japan, renovating it, and then operating from Japan while expanding some how into the Japanese market should.

I will have my own company one day and this would be an ideal situation.

they don't want us to go there, they want only people that can temporarily blend in and pass for a Japanese or at least mixed blood; they are afraid of intelligent foreign people living there because one day they can start protests, a party, some cultural revolution or subversion; on the other hand, you can exploit the unskilled and keep them quiet if the pay is a bit too low

Japan really doesn't seem as expensive as they say. I have a similar arrangement to yours in Eastern Europe (an apartment's interior and a percentage of the building), and it cost me $30,000 for 250 square feet.

If you don't have a visa, though, is there a standard way to pay someone to maintain your apartment when you aren't there? A big problem over here that things like water pipes break down all the time, so you need someone to watch your property for timely repairs.

If you have 100K you can easily apply for a regular business visa which is a lot less strict. This program is for people who have significantly less than the 50K requirement for the usual path. You can go in with nothing more than enough to keep you in the swim for 6 months and begin whatever business venture you are attempting. There are also ways to find partners/investors if you know how to socialize in the business sphere.
>>19290071
Buying property in Japan is all abut determination. You don't need a damn thing other than flying out here and a strong will to force things through. I ran the numbers and decided that even if I only stay on a tourist visa 3-6 months out of the year, a ~5,000,000 yen piece of property is much cheaper and valuable in the long-run than paying ridiculous gaijin accommodation prices. Not to mention the ability to rent/airbnb it out or sell it later, potentially at a profit. It takes some patiences and research but cheap properties are scattered throughout the country and you have to be ready to pounce on them with cash.
