Housing is considered an investment based off of how the currency is controlled by the government. Japan is an outlier, on big factor is how their population is decreasing. Regulations add over $100k per SFH on average in america, so its a big deal.
population decreasing has nothing to do with it. South Korea, who has a worse population problem, has the polar opposite. its an absolute hell hole to buy a house because of pricing.
if what you said was true, living in south korea would be easy (hint: it actually isnt)
Japans populatin is the same as it was in 1994 and South Koreas population has increased slowly, but still increased. So population is imporatant, but I agree its not the only consideration.
