OK. I have two homes in Japan. I bought the house I live in now 20 years ago. My bank would not offer me a mortgage loan but they sent me to a smaller bank they were associated with. The small bank required 50% down and another 50% deposited in their bank although I could withdraw this after the loan was approved. In other words, I had to prove that I didn't need a loan before they would grant me one. I sold off some real estate in the US to raise the money and I was granted a 10 year mortgage. I bought the second home from a friend in Okinawa. The land is leased. To this day there is no "legal" house owner since local Japanese law does not recognize foreign signatures under certain guidelines. We tried using an attorney twice with no success. It doesn't matter as I just rent it out. I pay the taxes on it regularly. I can only wish that other foreign buyers in this country have better luck with real estate than I do, although I don't regret purchasing either property.
