Scrappa's LIFULL HOME'S API returns structured JSON from LIFULL HOME'S (homes.co.jp), a large Japanese real estate portal. Search rental rooms and properties for sale (used and new mansions, used and new houses, land) by prefecture and city with rent, price, area, layout, walk time and building age filters. Read listing details with fees, coordinates, photos and agency, suggest places and read agency profiles. Japanese text stays as published, next to parsed numeric fields such as rent_yen, price_yen, area_m2 and walk_min. Independent service, not affiliated with LIFULL.

LIFULL HOME'S scraper API
The LIFULL HOME'S API is built for Japanese property analytics, relocation and investment tools. Each rent result carries the room id, building, address, every station with walk minutes, rent, management fee, deposit and key money in yen, layout and area. Sale results add price, land and building area and build date. Japanese text is returned unchanged.
Search rent by prefecture and city with rent, area, layout, walk time and building age filters.
Search used and new mansions, used and new houses and land for sale.
Every returned listing satisfies every filter you send. A page the site did not serve is never replaced by page 1.
