Why Japan? Why Izu & Mt. Fuji?

Japan's regional areas offer a rare combination of economic stability, cultural richness, and growing interest in sustainable tourism. With government-backed incentives for regional revitalization and a legal system that protects property rights, Japan has become an increasingly attractive destination for foreign real estate investors.

Among its many regions, the Izu Peninsula and the foothills of Mt. Fuji stand out. The area boasts rich natural beauty, strong tourism infrastructure, proximity to Tokyo, and a growing interest in stay-based hospitality and wellness ventures. Ito City, in particular, has become a promising hub for sustainable tourism and boutique investment.
