Questions

How many English-speaking estate agents are there in Japan?
We list 71, in 13 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Tokyo, with 36 of the 71.
Is English unusual for estate agents in Japan?
91% of the 78 estate agents we hold in Japan are recorded as working in English. Each source records a language for its own reasons, so the figure reflects who publishes that information, not only who speaks what.
