Can it be done and how difficult would it be. I am looking to buy in the Tokyo area but I would like some advice on how best to go about it since I have never purchased real estate overseas before.
I do qualify however I do not plan on purchasing property for another year or so until my Japanese improves. I feel like I should be proficient in the language if I want to buy property and live over there.

How can you become qualified for the Japanese resident visa? And do you have to take a Japanese proficiency test?
OP, if you don't have a job offer already or a student visa, buying a property to live in for 5 years, if it is legal in the first place, will send red flags to the immigration officer that you do not intend on leaving Japan at the conclusion of your stay. Do you already have a visa on hand, or are you putting the cart before the horse, ish at the previous posters are saying and asking

I do not have the visa yet no however reading the qualification list I do qualify for one. I do not intend on working but money is not exactly an issue I want to experience life over in Japan. The reason I made this thread was to get some insight into what buying property was like over in Japan.

As someone who's very experienced dealing with immigration officers, unless you are taking up work in Japan or are studying for a degree, buying a house in Japan and saying you as t to experience life there for several years is a surefire way of getting g yourself deported. Most likely you won't pass go and you won't get your $200 and go directly to jail until the first plane back to the U.S. leaves. Which visa do you qualify for that you haven't applied for yet?
