Hi Blog. \u00a0Earlier this year I was forwarded a manuscript by a Mr Christopher Dillon, entitled “LANDED: The Guide to Buying Property in Japan<\/a>“. \u00a0I liked it so much that I’m recommending it here on Debito.org. \u00a0As I say within the inside cover:<\/p>\n

“Dillon’s book is so good that while reading it, I felt like I was an adult in a toy store: \u00a0 Envious of the stuff kids have now that I would have loved to have as a kid. \u00a0If only I had the information in this book when I was building my house in the 1990s, I wouldn’t have ended up with the financial albatross I have now! \u00a0LANDED is an essential resource for anyone considering buying the most expensive consumer good in one of the most expensive (and tricky) housing markets in the world. \u00a0It’s even a good read!”<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As per the spirit of Debito.org (which seeks to help and empower people in Japan), and in the spirit of my first Housebuilding in Japan Essays I wrote more than a decade ago<\/a>, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone looking to settle down for good in Japan. \u00a0Here are some cover and table of contents scans, and information about next week’s book tour in Tokyo. \u00a0Arudou Debito in Sapporo<\/p>\n

Earlier this year I was forwarded a manuscript by a Mr Christopher Dillon, entitled “LANDED: The Guide to Buying Property in Japan”. I liked it so much that I’m recommending it here on Debito.org. As I say within the inside cover:<\/p>\n
