Partners
Partner with Tokyo Property Insider.
We publish the honest, English-language story of Japanese property for foreigners who are actively researching a purchase. If you're a licensed firm that serves those buyers well, there's a small amount of clearly labeled advertising space here — and right now, founding partners get first pick of it.
Who you'll reach
Our readers are foreigners seriously researching a Tokyo (and wider Japan) purchase — financing as a non-resident, choosing a ward, running the numbers on yield and minpaku, planning a relocation. They arrive through search with buyer-intent questions, they read long, and by the time they contact anyone they are unusually well-prepared. That is exactly the client most English-capable brokerages say they want more of.
We won't dress this up: the publication is young, and we don't quote traffic numbers we'd have to squint at. What you're buying early is position, not volume — a library of 123 in-depth articles built for the searches your future clients make, buyer tools and calculators, ward-by-ward guides, and a growing newsletter. Founding partners get in before the audience curve does.
The inventory
Newsletter sponsorship
A single, clearly labeled sponsor slot inside the email newsletter — your firm, your message, in front of subscribers who signed up to research a Japan purchase. One sponsor per issue, always marked as such.
Featured Partner placement
A labeled placement on our consult page and within the article categories your clients actually read — financing, minpaku & yield, and ward guides. Category exclusivity is available to founding partners.
Sponsored partner profile
A dedicated profile of your firm — who you serve, what you're genuinely good at, how to reach you — written plainly and clearly labeled as sponsored. A permanent, linkable page your future clients can find.
How we work — and what we won't do
Everything above is flat-fee advertising, clearly labeled. Sponsored placements are always marked as sponsored, and advertising never influences our editorial analysis, our data, or what we tell readers. We do not take per-transaction referral fees, and we don't want a cut of your deals — you pay for clearly disclosed ad space, nothing else. That keeps the arrangement clean for you, for us, and for the reader.
Partners must hold the relevant Japanese licenses — a 宅地建物取引業 (real estate brokerage) license for brokerages, and the equivalent registrations for lenders, tax professionals, and other regulated services. We check, and we turn down partners who aren't a genuine fit for our readers.
Founding partners
Because the site is early, we're opening a limited number of founding partner slots at early pricing, locked in for the first year. One newsletter sponsor at a time, a handful of Featured Partner placements with category exclusivity, and a short queue for sponsored profiles. When the slots are taken, they're taken.
