What's a Fund?
Our Fund, MoreHarvest Japan [MHJP], contains 17 properties or over 300 rentable apartments. Each property has been built and designed for that local market to maximise the rental income and overall desirability. With 1 share, you can own a piece of these properties.

Where are the properties?
All over Japan, Tokyo, Yokohama, Kanagawa Sapporo and Osaka. Go to Invest Now, select a Property → Property details to learn more about each property.
Who looks after them?
MoreHarvest works with local partners to develop and manage the properties.
Where does the income come from?
We have 2 sources of income. We receive rental income directly from the tenants; these are our Equity properties. The other is interest on loans we make to our partner company, Chateau Life, these are our Mortgage properties. Whether it is an Equity or Mortgage property, we will show the same income and occupancy data.
What type of properties make up the fund?
Properties that retain their value over long periods attract long-term renters and are high-quality builds to reduce ongoing maintenance costs. View a Property and take a look at the pictures. If you want to see for yourself, join our property tour.
Property Statuses
BVM

These properties are designated for investors meeting specific visa-related criteria.

Under Renovation
An existing property temporarily unoccupied due to maintenance or improvements. Historical performance data from when the property was occupied is available, along with an estimated annual income expressed as a percentage of the property’s value.
Why is this property different from others?
With the experience we have built up, we can afford to be picky about which properties to develop. We go for quality and areas where there is predicted high demand, getting ahead of the curve.
How do you do that?
- Invest strategically - Our experience has taught us that investing in medium to long-term investments, with a focus on maintaining high-performing properties, meets our own goals of reliable and predictable income. We avoid the exhausting buy-flip-sell cycle that's so market-dependent. Thanks to our local connections, we're among the first to know what's happening, allowing us to make well-informed decisions based on insider insight.
- Risk control - We avoid builders prone to environmental risk. Japan is known for its earthquakes, and we will only invest in properties that we are fully confident are safe. We also avoid exposed flood zones.
- Maximising property longevity and profile - Our ideal renters are young professionals or couples in their early to mid-careers. They're drawn to major cities but can't afford high-end districts or buy their own homes. They have disposable income and prefer modern-designed apartments over traditional ones. They seek good transport links or proximity to offices, science parks, or tech hubs. This approach lets us attract 10-15% more rental income above the average.
Why is the occupancy rate so high?
- Working with local partners, we get the on-the-ground insight. By leveraging our relationships, we quickly learn where to build or buy and who is moving to the area. We can make decisions quickly, get properties online, and generate income ahead of others.
- We look after our tenants. We design with them in mind and maintain the properties to high standards.
- Always on the lookout for the next opportunity. We are not fixed to any one place and have the flexibility and scale out to move in to other cities and regions.
