What Can Your Budget Buy Across Japan?
Property buying power can vary significantly between Japanese cities. The same budget may provide a very different property size in Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Fukuoka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Chiba or Saitama. TopTen Buying Power compares these markets using the same budget and market-price methodology, making it easier to understand the relative value of property across Japan.
How TopTen Buying Power Works
TopTen Buying Power estimates the property area a selected budget could purchase using current market price benchmarks for each city. Enter your budget in JPY, USD or HKD and TopTen converts it into Japanese yen before comparing the estimated buying power across major Japanese cities.

Japan Property Buying Power FAQ
TopTen Buying Power compares how much property the same budget could potentially buy across major Japanese cities using regularly updated property market benchmarks.
TopTen Property Data lets you compare estimated property buying power across Tokyo, Yokohama, Fukuoka, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Chiba and Saitama using the same budget and comparison methodology.
Based on October 2026 market benchmarks, a ¥100 million property budget provides significantly different buying power across major Japanese cities. It represents approximately 40.4 m² in Tokyo 23 Wards, 78.9 m² in Yokohama, 96.0 m² in Fukuoka, 68.2 m² in Osaka, 71.2 m² in Kyoto, 110.1 m² in Nagoya, 107.4 m² in Chiba and 84.7 m² in Saitama.
Among the cities compared, ¥100 million provides the greatest estimated property area in Nagoya, while Tokyo 23 Wards has the lowest buying power due to its substantially higher benchmark price per square metre.
Based on October 2026 market benchmarks, a ¥100 million property budget provides approximately 40.4 m² in Tokyo 23 Wards, compared with approximately 96.0 m² in Fukuoka.
This means the same ¥100 million budget provides approximately 55.6 m² more property space in Fukuoka, or about 138% more buying power by area than in Tokyo 23 Wards. The difference reflects the substantially lower benchmark price per square metre in Fukuoka.
This depends on current property prices. TopTen Buying Power compares eight major Japanese markets simultaneously so users can identify where the same budget represents greater estimated property area.
TopTen estimates buying power using the selected budget and current property price benchmarks for each city. Foreign-currency budgets are converted into Japanese yen before the city comparison is calculated. Results are market estimates and should not be interpreted as individual property valuations.
