Major Real Estate Agency

When we intend to rent or purchase house or condo in Japan, we usually visit real estate agent but if you are planning to take your time and carefully choose a good property, it would be advisable to look for information on large real estate groups that possess and develop a significant number of high-quality properties.

In Japan, there are three major corporate groups known as “Zaibatsu”: Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Sumitomo. These groups encompass various businesses, including banks, trading companies, and various manufacturing industries, each having its own real estate company. In addition to these, major developers like Nomura and Tokyo Tatemono are also originated from different Zaibatsu group. Definitely, these companies provide popular and highly reliable properties that are often located in good locations.

Setting aside these major conglomerate real estate groups, it might be Mori Building that currently owns/develops the most luxurious and world-class properties in extremely urban setting in center of Tokyo.
