Investors look back to japan as nation rebuilds

Japanese property is regaining interest from foreign investors as the country continues its rehabilitation following March’s tsunami, according to the Association for Real Estate Securitasation.

Although actual investment is still way down due to the impact of the March 11 disaster, chairman of the Association Hiromichi Iwasa said that overseas investors are starting to consider returning.

"There are signs that foreign investors are once again recognizing building safety and stable profitability, and starting to gather information about Japanese properties," Iwasa said.

Easing concern over the after-effects of the nuclear disaster “will help to boost the appetite of foreign investors” he added.
