Global Interest in Japanese Luxury Real Estate Heightened by TonTon's Participation at Forbes Conference

TonTon at Forbes Global Properties Conference 2026

In a vibrant networking reception held at sunset on a terrace overlooking the sea, TonTon, Japan's exclusive representative of the prestigious Forbes Global Properties (FGP), showcased the allure of Japanese luxury real estate at the annual Forbes Global Properties Conference 2026 on Corfu Island, Greece. The company, led by CEO Hiroki Imagawa, participated alongside elite real estate firms from over 20 countries, including the United States and Brazil.

An Elite Network of Global Agents

The FGP network is an invitation-only assembly of the world's top real estate agencies, each selected to represent a specific country or region, and TonTon stands as the sole Japanese member. With this unique status, the company has established direct connections with esteemed firms and agents around the globe, an opportunity that few domestic companies possess.

During the conference, Imagawa engaged in meaningful discussions with leading agents from various countries, focusing on market trends and insights regarding luxury real estate. He emphasized the importance of developing seamless collaboration for cross-border transactions, as a significant aim of the conference was to bolster this global pipeline.

Global Interest in Japanese Luxury Properties

The event highlighted a clear and specific interest from international FGP members, agents, and investors in Japan’s luxury market. Notably, there was significant demand for exclusive properties including traditional Japanese architecture, historical buildings, and high-yield real estate such as hotels and residences—items that are hard to obtain outside Japan. This realization reinforced the necessity for a robust platform to share Japan’s unique offerings with the international market.

In response to this burgeoning interest, TonTon is now actively seeking collaborations with owners of villas, historical properties, and lucrative real estate to bring more Japanese luxury listings to a global audience. Through FGP’s extensive network, TonTon aims to ensure that the right properties reach the right international investors swiftly and efficiently.

TonTon reiterates its commitment to leveraging its global connections within the FGP family, continuously striving to offer both Japanese customers access to refined overseas portfolios and foreign investors enticing Japanese real estate opportunities through trusted partnerships.

Event Details

The Forbes Global Properties Annual Global Conference was held from June 9 to June 12, 2026, on Corfu Island, and attracted top agents from around the world. Attendees included representatives from the USA, Brazil, France, Italy, UAE, and more. TonTon participated in this prestigious gathering, sharing insights and forming lasting relationships aimed at enhancing Japan's visibility in the luxury property arena.

Imagawa's remarks at the event captured the essence of the gathering: “The overwhelming interest in Japanese real estate was much more tangible than I had anticipated. We received numerous inquiries from clients with a focus on unique assets such as traditional homes and historical structures that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Conversely, it was apparent that the channels through which this information flows to the world are still underdeveloped in Japan. As the only FGP member from Japan, we consider it our role to serve as this bridge.”
