As most people will probably know, real estate prices in Japan collapsed in the early 1990′s as part of the damage caused by the bursting of the infamous Japanese bubble economy.

In any case, it is a worthwhile exercise to review your investment strategy from time to time even if just to confirm what you actually own.
