Japanese land law
Japanese land law is the law of real property in Japan. A nationwide city land law began in 1919. This was completely revised in more detail in 1968, focusing on City Planning Areas. The concept of zoning was introduced to all of Japan beginning with the Land-Use Law in 1974 (modelled on the German land planning system). This was later integrated into City Planning Areas. After 2011, a decentralisation policy delegated the power to create a land-use plan without needing approval from the central government.
