I am currently trying to sort out the logistics for purchasing Japanese real estate as a nonresident. Consulting with my real estate agent, he said the best course of action is to have cash on hand, and that wire transfers from US banks are not usually possible. I'm wondering what exactly I'm supposed to do to come up with that amount of money in cash, since this far exceeds most withdrawal limits. Has anyone gone through this situation before? What did you do?
