Want to buy a house in Japan for retirement? This city is worth considering!

In recent years, the concept of "overseas retirement" has been gaining popularity, with the historic city of Kyoto, Japan, becoming an ideal retirement destination for many Chinese.

Why is Kyoto so popular? Let's explore the charm behind it.

01

Abundant medical resources

Japan, a country recognized globally for its longevity, continues to lead the world in the average life expectancy of its citizens, with figures for 2022 suggesting that women in Japan will live to an average of 87.09 years old, while men will reach 81.05 years old.

Behind this is Japan's superior medical technology and comprehensive health protection system. From the world-class professional skills of its medical and nursing staff, to the advanced medical equipment (such as CT and MRI) with the highest per capita ownership rate, to the high survival rate of major diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, Japan's healthcare system is exemplary.

Kyoto is not only rich in culture, but also has a well-developed healthcare system, with a number of renowned medical institutions such as Kyoto University Hospital and Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Hospital.

Here, whether it is daily health maintenance or medical treatment in an emergency, you can get a prompt and professional response.

Pleasant living environment

Kyoto, a city that blends tradition and modernity, attracts countless travelers with its unique style.

In order to protect the city's cultural heritage and natural ecology, Kyoto strictly limits the construction of super-high-rise buildings, rejects large-scale industrial development, and attaches great importance to public sanitation, ensuring that streets are clean and orderly.

As the seasons change, so does the scenery of Kyoto, with cherry blossoms in spring, lively festivals in summer, red maples in autumn, and snow in winter, each season has its own unique flavor that will mesmerize you.

Retiring in such an environment is a rare treat indeed.

Deep cultural heritage

As the ancient capital of a thousand years, every inch of Kyoto bears traces of history. It is home to 17 monuments on the United Nations World Heritage List, as well as 38 Japanese national treasures and 199 important cultural properties.

Strolling through the streets of Kyoto, whether it's the majestic Nijo Castle, the elegant Gion Shirakawa, the bustling Shijo Kawaramachi, or the solemn Kiyomizu Temple, you can feel the strong historical atmosphere and cultural flavor.

Pensioning in Kyoto is like being in the middle of a flowing historical scroll that makes you linger.

If you are tired of seeing the bustle and hustle of the city and want to own a house of your own in a quiet city where you can take a leisurely walk every day, sip tea, enjoy the flowers, and feel the quietness of the years, then Kyoto will be the right choice for you.
