"Unclaimed Land": A Growing Social Issue Currently, land with unknown owners is increasing rapidly in Japan, with an estimated total area comparable to the entire island of Kyushu. This is no longer just a regional issue; it is spreading to areas in front of urban train stations and high-rise condominiums, potentially having a significant impact on Japan's real estate market and social structure.

Administrative Law Expert Discusses the "Limits of Ownership" and the Future In this article, we interviewed Professor Itagaki, a graduate of the University of Tokyo with practical experience at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, who currently specializes in administrative law and local government law at Yokohama National University.

We explain the "turning point" of Japan's ownership system from perspectives such as: - Why does the amount of unclaimed land continue to increase? - What are the limitations of the current system? - How will Japanese real estate change in the future? - What measures should individuals take right now?

AlbaLink's Initiatives AlbaLink Co., Ltd. is working to solve the increasing real estate challenges across Japan through the "purchase and resale of vacant houses."

Furthermore, we have been selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's "Model Project for Measures Against Unclaimed Land, etc.," and are promoting advanced initiatives aimed at the utilization and proper management of unclaimed land.

Future Outlook AlbaLink will continue to disseminate expert knowledge regarding social issues in the real estate sector and contribute to solving these problems through both practical operations and our media presence.
