First off, they don't cost MILLIONS of DOLLARS, Millions of YEN, which equals Thousdands when speaking in USD.
House prices depends on WHERE you are going to live. JUST LIKE IN THE USA. Buying a big place in New York City is almost impossible and will actually cost you MILLIONS of USD, however buying a house in a smaller town might only cost you a fraction of the price and the house might actually be very large.
Most of Tokyo's population doesn't live right in the busy districts like how most of New York City's population doesn't live in downtown Manhattan.
The further you go away from the city center the cheaper things become.
Tokyo isn't the top of the list for most expensive city in the world to live in, it is behind Moscow, and Seoul ,South Korea.
Of course Japan is a smaller country with limited space, but it is still possible to get a house and not cost you Millions of American Dollars.
As I mentioned location has a lot to do with it, just like how location has a lot to do with housing prices in the USA:
For example, a 2 story house, in a suburb of a major city such as Tokyo or in a immediate surrounding prefecture, say not near the train station, but walkable or bikable to the train station can cost around 30 million JAPANESE yen, which is about 280,000 USD. I know people in the USA paying higher prices for their houses then that! Of course in Japan houses tend to be smaller, but it is a house non the less.
Now if someone wanted to live right in the middle of one of Tokyo's major districts, then 280,000 USD or 30 Million USD would mean didly squat, you would proably find a very very small apartment if you can find anything at all.
But thats the same for New York City or any major city.

Tokyo is the capital of Japan, and the place where over 13 million people live, making it one of the most populous cities in the world but also, a big city to visit, find out more with hotelbye . Most of the city was devastated by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, and then again by the bombing in the WWII, however, Tokyo was able to achieve a remarkably rapid recovery both times. The main attraction of Tokyo is the Imperial Palace with its beautiful 17th-century parks surrounded by walls and moats. The palace is still in use by the Imperial family.

Do you mean housing or you mean like an actual house, not an apt?
Houses in metro city is always expensive. If you are looking for cheaper price then I would look into the country side, same goes to apartments.... Japanese apartments in metro city, even the tiniest apartment is expensive. Away from the metro, you will find a better place!

Extremely expensive. Most people with actual houses inherited them from their parents, as families often live together. If those house were even on the market, they would go for millions in the cities. In the suburbs (only 20 minutes from the city) a tiny brand-new apartment cost us about 400,000 in US dollars.
The other posters are correct about moving to Japan. You have to have a job secured before you arrive.

Japanese House Prices

Rental apartments can cost anywhere from 90,000 Yen (studio) to a million yen, it really depends on where you live and the kind of apt you are looking for. Metro areas such as are always more expensive. There are people who earn 300,000 yen (30,000 $)and live quite comfortably in Tokyo. But apt's are small and the cheaper the apt, the smaller the space.

I'd listen to Carl. The chances of buying a house in Japan are slim and none. Costs will be at least double what they are in the US. And many Japanese landlords will not deal with non-Japanese, even when it comes to renting. They have the right to rent or not rent to whom-ever they want.

They cost millions of dollars. And you just can't move to Japan ! This is NOT allowed. Japan is one of the most costly countries to live in. And one of the hardest to move to. Check out craigslist.org for Japan, and you'll get an idea of what I'm talking about. So unless you have a 7 figure bank account, I'd look else-where.
