Is this a real estate investment or a financial product?

It is presented as owning a tangible asset (real estate ownership with registration rights) that includes accommodation rights. It's positioned as a long-term asset to own and pass down, rather than a short-term financial investment.

What are the annual costs involved?

The management fee varies by plan. For the Standard Plan, the annual management fee is ¥8,000. This covers the maintenance and management of the property.

Can I sell the property if I want to?
