Buying property in Osaka (大阪)

Tokku Minpaku, Osaka's specific advantage

Unlike Kyoto, some Osaka wards have been designated a national strategic special zone where minpaku can be operated 365 days a year with no seasonal gap, subject to a specific Tokku authorisation (minimum 2-night stay, application through the prefecture). A regulatory edge few Japanese cities offer.

Why Osaka

Japan's 2nd tourist destination after Tokyo, generally lower entry cost than Kyoto for a comparable property, and a short-stay rental market driven by Universal Studios Japan and the Dōtonbori district.
