By accessing or using this website, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access this site.

2. About ShigakogenHub

ShigakogenHub is an independent educational resource for English-speaking and Thai-speaking buyers exploring property in Shiga Kogen and Yamanouchi-machi, Nagano, Japan. We are not a licensed real estate agency, law firm, or financial advisory service.

We do not broker property. ShigakogenHub does not list properties, negotiate deals, handle settlement, or charge any fee for its content. If, at your explicit request, we introduce you to a licensed real-estate agent we know personally, that agent's brokerage services are governed by their own agreement with you. ShigakogenHub is not party to any such transaction, receives no commission or referral fee, and has no liability for the outcome.

3. Disclaimer

The content on ShigakogenHub is for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, tax, financial, or investment advice. Real estate prices, regulations, tax rates, and market conditions described in our articles are based on publicly available information and personal experience, and may not reflect current conditions. All figures should be considered approximate unless explicitly sourced. Always consult qualified professionals — including licensed real estate agents, lawyers, tax advisors, and financial planners — before making property purchase or investment decisions.

4. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of the content published on this site. However, real estate markets change rapidly. We do not guarantee the completeness or timeliness of any information. Content may become outdated after publication, and we recommend verifying any material information through independent sources before relying on it.
