Interest rates in Japan are still very low, though if you're thinking about moving to Japan, it is difficult for foreigners to get mortgages through Japanese banks unless they have permanent residency or have a Japanese spouse, though I've heard of some banks offering mortgages to those who lived in the country for at least two years. Who knows what interest rates in Japan will be in two years, though; the yen has weakened noticeably against the dollar since 2022 when the Federal Reserve started its interest rate hikes, yet the Bank of Japan has continued its low interest policy.
