A couple of great resources for those looking into purchasing a property in Japan.
https://think-prosupport.com/koteishisanzei-6bai/ – this is a property tax calculator site. You can calculate yearly taxes, estimated reductions based on house, age, and other factors. (Age of building is limited to 25 years in this calculator)
In addition, you can calculate the acquisition tax based on the property type you are buying.
You can also calculate the tax on your plot of land, separate from the building tax. If you want to do this, you need to use the below resource yo find your areas assessed land value per m2.

I worked out that a house I am looking at has an assessed value of around 11,000,000yen(new build)
Land is valued at 33,300yen per m2 -300m2 or so.
Taxes per year with all the deductions(new build) come to about 172,000yen a year.
Acquisition tax came to either 27,000 or 52,000yen depending on the building's grade.
Seems pretty easy to use too!
