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.

Input example

{
  "mode": "rent",
  "prefecture": "Tokyo",
  "area": "新宿区",
  "priceMax": 150000,
  "layoutMin": "1LDK",
  "ageMax": 15,
  "maxItems": 100
}

prefecture is required (JIS code, Japanese or English name). area is optional — a Japanese city/ward name, romaji, or a suumo slug like sc_shinjuku; leave it empty to crawl the whole prefecture city by city. Price units switch by mode: JPY/month for rent (150000 = ¥150,000/month), 万円 for buy modes (5000 = ¥50,000,000). layoutMin and ageMax filter client-side.

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.
