Statistics on Owning a house or condominium in Japan

     In Japan, the regular cost of a free standing home is about 50 million to 150 million yen.

An average years of a loan is about 30 years. It can go through generation to generation.

This is a feature of Japanese house loaning system.

     The reason that a free standing home and the land underneath are purchased seperately is because Japan is a very small country but the population is large.

     Concretely it's because of it isn't seperated, everyone can build big houses if they pay money only for free standing home.

     Now, Japanese houses are built very high rather than building it widely. It's because people are trying to make the land underneath smaler and save money.  In fact, Japan doesn't have enough land for everyone to have a big house. So they can't help makeing lands smaller to build tall houses.
