_____________________________________________

“Landed is an essential reference for anyone buying real estate in Japan. It is unbiased and full of practical, up-to-date information. Even Japanese buyers can learn a lot from this book.”
Nobuo Takenaka, President and CEO

“Dillon’s book is so good that while reading it, I felt like I was an adult in a toy store: Envious of the stuff kids have now that I would have loved to have as a kid. If 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! Landed 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. It’s even a good read!”

Author of Handbook for Newcomers, Migrants and Immigrants to Japan, and coordinator of Debito.org

“As a long-time resident of Tokyo and a property owner in Japan, Landed has proven to be an invaluable asset. A comprehensive study of the intricacies of the Tokyo market, I found it not only extremely informative but also very readable; even entertaining. I haven’t seen anything else out there with this depth of information.”

“My wife and I were looking at an investment property in Tokyo, a city we know very well socially but not commercially. Christopher’s advice helped us avoid a mistake that could have cost us several hundred thousand dollars.”
