[SINGAPORE] Buying property in Japan used to be the preserve of high-net-worth individuals, who would plonk down $1.5 million for a chalet - complete with outdoor hot tub - in Niseko, a popular Hokkaido ski resort, if only to indulge their love for skiing.
Not any more.
With the local banks now offering to finance property purchases in the Land of the Rising Sun, anyone with $1 million or so to spare can consider buying a property and living, possibly, in the heart of glitzy Roppongi in Tokyo and rubbing shoulders with the embassy types there.
A budget of that size could get one a new freehold two-bedroom apartment with roof terrace in Minato-ku - something along the lines of what Orange Tee is launching this weekend.
