Japan Real Estate (suumo.jp)

Japanese rental and for-sale property listings — rent/sale prices, layouts, floor areas, building age, nearest stations and per-m²/per-tsubo analytics — from suumo.jp, Japan's largest real-estate portal, in a clean English schema.

This Actor searches suumo.jp's public listings by mode (rent 賃貸 / used condo 中古マンション / used house 中古一戸建て / land 土地), prefecture and city, and returns each listing as English-schema JSON: property name, monthly rent or total sale price in JPY (with an explicit priceType unit field), management fee, deposit (敷金) and key money (礼金) for rentals, floor plan, exclusive/land area in m², building age and built year, floor and total floors, town-level address, nearest stations with walking minutes, the listing agency's business name, and analysis fields (pricePerSqm, pricePerTsubo) computed on every record. Optional client-side filters narrow by price window, minimum layout (e.g. 1LDK+) and maximum building age.

Japan's property market draws global investors — but SUUMO is Japanese-only and its layouts (1LDK), price units (万円) and age conventions (築年) are opaque to international tooling. This Actor is the bridge: one English schema across renting and buying, with the per-area price metrics analysts actually compare.

Unofficial tool. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Recruit Co., Ltd. or SUUMO. It collects publicly available data only (no login, no paywall), politely (strictly serial requests, ≥1.2 s apart, hard per-run budget, no block evasion), and extracts factual data only — property facts and agency business identity; no listing ad-copy, no review content, no phone numbers, no personal data of any kind (relevant e.g. under GDPR: no personal data is collected or processed). Addresses are structurally truncated to town/chōme level — street numbers and room numbers are never emitted, because vacancy status plus a precise address can identify residents. Users are responsible for ensuring their own use of the data complies with the source site's terms and applicable law.

Quick start — verified input

Copy-paste this into the Actor's input (JSON tab) or pass it via API — it was run successfully on 2026-09-02 (10 rental units in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, list data, ~15 seconds):

{
  "mode": "rent",
  "prefecture": "Tokyo",
  "area": "新宿区",
  "maxItems": 10
}

Common input mistakes

Wrong	Right	Why
"prefecture": "Tokyo-to" / "Yokohama" / "Shinjuku"	"prefecture": "Tokyo" / "Kanagawa" / "Tokyo" + "area": "新宿区"	prefecture must be one of the 47 prefectures (English name, dropdown). Cities and wards go in area.
"prefecture": "東京都" or "13" (via API)	"prefecture": "Tokyo"	The platform checks the 47 English names before the run starts; other spellings are rejected with the valid list.
"area": "Tokyo"	leave area empty	area is one city/ward of the prefecture, not the prefecture. An unknown city stops the run with the full city list.
"mode": "rent", "priceMax": 15	"mode": "rent", "priceMax": 150000	Rent prices are JPY per month; 万円 units apply to buy modes only (the run warns on suspiciously small rent values).
"mode": "buy_mansion", "priceMax": 50000000	"mode": "buy_mansion", "priceMax": 5000	Buy prices are in 万円 (10,000 JPY units): 5000 = ¥50,000,000.
"layoutMin": "one bedroom"	"layoutMin": "1LDK"	A digit followed by K / DK / LDK (or ワンルーム / 1R).

Every invalid value stops the run immediately (before any upstream request) with a message that names the field and lists the valid values. Fields with a fixed list of values are validated by the Apify platform before the run even starts.

Empty results?

A run that finishes with items: 0 and complete: true is not an error. Typical causes: a price window in the wrong unit (rent = JPY/month, buy = 万円), a layoutMin / ageMax combination that no listing in the chosen city satisfies, or a small maxApiRequests with tight filters (filtering is client-side — raise the budget). Widen the query and re-run.

Who is this for?

• International property investors & analysts — screen Japanese rental yields and sale prices by city with per-m²/per-tsubo metrics, across renting AND buying in one schema.
• Market research & PropTech — rent levels by layout and age band, condo price distributions, station-distance effects; a live public-listing complement to official transaction statistics.
• Relocation & expat services — feed live Japanese rental inventory (deposit/key-money included) into English-language tooling.
• Data teams — a stable English schema over a Japanese-only source, with explicit units everywhere.

• mode (default rent): rent / buy_mansion / buy_house / buy_land (dropdown; via API rental, condo, house, land and the Japanese labels are accepted too).
• prefecture (required): English name of one of the 47 prefectures exactly as in the dropdown ("Tokyo", "Osaka" …). The Apify platform validates this list before the run starts, so "東京都", "13" or "tokyo-to" are rejected immediately with the list of valid values. Cities are not prefectures — "Yokohama" is rejected; use "Kanagawa" + "area": "横浜市西区".
• area (optional): one city/ward — Japanese name (新宿区), the romaji part of the slug (shinjuku) or the slug (sc_shinjuku); an unknown value stops the run with the prefecture's full city list. Leave empty to crawl all cities.
• priceMin / priceMax (optional): units switch by mode — JPY/month for rent (150000 = ¥150,000/month), 万円 for buy modes (5000 = ¥50,000,000).
• layoutMin (optional): 1K, 1LDK, 2DK, 3LDK … · ageMax (optional): whole years.
• detailFetch (rent only, default false) / maxItems (default 10, max 10000) / maxApiRequests (default 30, max 60) / proxyConfiguration (default none).

Pricing

Pay per result — see the pricing tab. A city query is typically hundreds to tens of thousands of listings upstream; maxItems caps what you take.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? Live from suumo.jp's public, login-free static list pages (and, for rentals with detailFetch, unit detail pages) at run time. Every record embeds the source, source URL, a license note, and the retrieval timestamp.

Is this an official SUUMO / Recruit service? No. Unofficial, independently built and maintained, and not affiliated with or endorsed by Recruit Co., Ltd. It reads only publicly available pages.

Why are addresses cut at the town level? Deliberately. SUUMO publishes some sale listings with street numbers; combined with vacancy status, a precise address can identify current residents or absent owners. The Actor structurally truncates every address to city + town/chōme (「東京都新宿区片町6-10」→「東京都新宿区片町」) and this is pinned by automated legal tests. Phone numbers, personal names and owner information are never extracted either — the only business identity emitted is the listing agency's company name.

Are listing headlines/descriptions included? No. Agent ad-copy headlines (「◆諸費用抑えて購入可能◆…」), promotional prose and equipment sales text are never extracted — deliberately: marketing copy is the agent's creative content and stays on the source site. The output is strictly factual property data.

Who is responsible for how the data is used? You are. The Actor collects publicly available factual data politely, but the legality of your specific use (redistribution, database rights, the source site's terms) is your responsibility as the user.

Are prices accurate? Prices are what suumo.jp advertised at retrieval time. Listings turn over constantly — treat each run as a snapshot and re-run for fresh data.

What about server load? Strictly serial requests, ≥1.2 s apart, ~30–100 listings per list page, one extra request per rental detail (opt-in), hard per-run request budget (max 60), exponential backoff, no CAPTCHA/login/block evasion. If suumo.jp changes its page format, the Actor stops with a clear error instead of silently mis-parsing; if it blocks persistently, the run fails visibly.
