About Nipponhomes
A search and analytics platform built to make buying a home in Japan feel easy — especially if you don't read Japanese.
How it started
Nipponhomes started with a question from Angelo's mom. In May 2025, on a trip to Hokkaido to visit his parents, she floated it: “why don't we get a place out here?”
Great idea. Then they actually tried searching.
They bounced between Suumo, At Home, and every other Japanese portal with clunky UX and no good way to compare anything. There were only a few builders in the area, and no site that made the search feel easy.
So Angelo built the version he wished existed, together with Derek and Nick. Along the way they reached out to Yuki Homes to partner up, and the growth has been kind of amazing since.
The team
What we are (and aren't)
Nipponhomes is a search and analytics platform for Japanese real estate. We aggregate listings, translate them into English, and give you tools to compare locations, prices, and investment potential in one place.
We are not a licensed real estate broker. We don't sell, lease, or manage properties ourselves, and we don't provide formal real estate advice.
When you're ready to buy, we connect you with licensed local partners — like our friends at Yuki Homes — who can represent you on the ground and walk you through the actual purchase.
