Located in the quiet, well-established residential neighborhood of Nishi-Oizumi in Nerima Ward, this two-story wooden detached house offers a rare combination of central Tokyo access and a leafy, suburban feel. The property sits just 17 minutes on foot from Hoya Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line — the line's starting station, which means commuters can typically secure a seat for their journey into the city.

The home features a 3DK layout with three rooms of 8 tatami mats or larger, plus a dedicated storage room and a built-in garage. With a building area of 92.17 m² (991.8 ft²) and a land area of 88.65 m² (954.0 ft²), the footprint is compact but well-utilized. The interior underwent a meaningful renovation in December 2023, including a new kitchen, updated bathroom, replaced washroom plumbing, and balcony waterproofing — making it genuinely move-in ready.

An added dimension worth noting: the property is currently tenanted and fully occupied, generating approximately ¥1.62 million (around $10,132) in annual rental income, with a reported yield of 6.48%. For buyers interested in an income-producing asset in metropolitan Tokyo, this is a compelling data point.

Price: ¥24,980,000 (approximately $156,226 USD) Building Area: 92.17 m² / 991.8 ft² Land Area: 88.65 m² / 954.0 ft² Layout: 3DK Year Built: October 1961 (interior renovated December 2023) Access: 17-min walk to Hoya Station (Seibu Ikebukuro Line); 32-min walk to Oizumi-Gakuen Station Parking: Built-in garage Status: Currently rented / Immediately available Property ID: 712977959

Set in Matsubara-cho in Akishima City, western Tokyo, this 3LDK detached house offers generous living space and the practical advantage of access to three separate rail lines — the JR Ome Line, the Seibu Haijima Line, and the JR Hachiko Line — all within a 7-minute walk of Haijima Station. This multi-line connectivity makes Akishima a surprisingly versatile base for commuters heading in various directions.

The building area is a spacious 122.23 m² (1,315.7 ft²) on a land area of 110.03 m² (1,184.4 ft²), constructed in July 1992. The wooden structure is zoned Category 1 Low-Rise Residential, in an urbanized area. The current status is vacant, and delivery is available by consultation.

One important note for buyers: the property does not currently meet the road access requirements under the Building Standards Act, meaning new construction, extensions, or major renovations are restricted unless special administrative approval is obtained under Article 43, Paragraph 2. Buyers should factor this into their planning and seek appropriate legal guidance before proceeding.

Price: ¥24,800,000 (approximately $155,100 USD) Building Area: 122.23 m² / 1,315.7 ft² Land Area: 110.03 m² / 1,184.4 ft² Layout: 3LDK Year Built: July 1992 Access: 7-min walk to Haijima Station (JR Ome Line / Seibu Haijima Line / JR Hachiko Line) Parking: Yes Status: Vacant / Delivery by consultation Property ID: 713608292

At just ¥11.8 million, this is one of the more affordably priced properties in this week's roundup — and it comes with a story. Located in Suwa-cho, Hachioji City, this older two-story wooden house sits on a corner lot with two-sided road frontage, offering good natural ventilation and a sense of openness that is genuinely rare at this price point. The property is also noted as being on flat ground, an uncommon feature in the hilly Hachioji area.

The building measures 103.76 m² (1,116.8 ft²) on an 85 m² (914.9 ft²) plot and was built in June 1976. It carries a 5DK floor plan with ample storage throughout — the listing describes the old-fashioned layout as well-suited to buyers who value organized living. There are two balconies and a window in the bathroom, both practical features. The property is zoned semi-industrial, which may allow for a wider range of uses than typical residential zones.

The listing notes that the building coverage and floor area ratios are exceeded, and part of the building extension is unregistered — buyers should conduct thorough due diligence on this point. That said, the listing itself frames the property explicitly as suitable for renovation, investment, or land purchase and rebuild.

Price: ¥11,800,000 (approximately $73,799 USD) Building Area: 103.76 m² / 1,116.8 ft² Land Area: 85 m² / 914.9 ft² Layout: 5DK Year Built: June 1976 Access: 10-min bus ride from Nishi-Hachioji Station (JR Chuo Line) + 6-min walk Parking: None (noted as corner lot suitable for rebuild) Status: Vacant / Immediately available Property ID: 713627404

Built in January 2019, this 4LDK home in Miyama-cho, Hachioji City is one of the newer properties in this week's selection — just six years old at the time of listing. It comes with a Housing Performance Evaluation Certificate and a Construction Performance Evaluation Certificate issued at the time of new construction, providing buyers with an independently verified record of build quality that is not always easy to come by in the Japanese resale market.

The property spans 97.2 m² (1,046.2 ft²) of building area on a generous 163.83 m² (1,763.4 ft²) plot, with a southeast-facing aspect and two-sided lighting in every room. The outdoor amenities are a highlight: three parking spaces, a south-facing garden, EV charging capability, and a spacious closet throughout. The listing notes the interior is meticulously maintained.

The trade-off is access — the nearest public transport involves an 18-minute bus ride from JR Chuo Line's Takao Station. The property is better suited to car-owning households, and its proximity to the Ken-O Expressway's Hachioji West Interchange is noted as a practical benefit for those needing to travel toward Saitama or Shinjuku. Delivery is available by consultation as the property is currently occupied.

Price: ¥25,800,000 (approximately $161,361 USD) Building Area: 97.2 m² / 1,046.2 ft² Land Area: 163.83 m² / 1,763.4 ft² Layout: 4LDK Year Built: January 2019 Access: 18-min bus + 3-min walk from Takao Station (JR Chuo Line); 14-min drive Parking: On-site (3 cars) + EV charging Status: Currently occupied / Delivery by consultation Property ID: 713640860

Priced under ¥17 million, this 4DK wooden detached home in Takagi 3-chome, Higashiyamato City offers a reasonable amount of space at a relatively accessible entry point for the Tokyo metro area. The building covers 76.79 m² (826.7 ft²) on a land area of 103.40 m² (1,113.0 ft²), and was built in October 1995. A Category 1 Low-Rise Residential zoning designation means the surrounding neighborhood is protected from high-density development.

Access is via a 17-minute walk from Musashi-Yamato Station on the Seibu Tamako Line. It's worth noting that the Seibu Tamako Line is a smaller, less-connected line, so buyers who rely heavily on public transit should factor this into their evaluation. Parking is available on-site.

The listing details are lean — utilities confirmed as public water supply and public sewage, and the property is currently vacant with delivery by consultation. No renovation details are listed, so prospective buyers should budget for potential updates.

Price: ¥16,800,000 (approximately $105,073 USD) Building Area: 76.79 m² / 826.7 ft² Land Area: 103.40 m² / 1,113.0 ft² Layout: 4DK Year Built: October 1995 Access: 17-min walk to Musashi-Yamato Station (Seibu Tamako Line) Parking: Yes Status: Vacant / Delivery by consultation Property ID: 713649269

This property in Misawa 2-chome, Hino City stands out primarily for its exceptionally large land area: 245.65 m² (2,643.7 ft²), which is notably generous for the Tokyo metropolitan area and zoned Category 1 Low-Rise Residential. The building itself covers 90.25 m² (971.4 ft²) across a 4DK layout, originally constructed in September 1972.

Access is provided by an 11-minute walk to Hyakusoen Station on the Keio Racecourse Line and an 18-minute walk to Takahatafudo Station on the Tama Monorail. The property is currently vacant, with delivery by consultation.

Buyers should be aware of several material constraints listed in the remarks: the property sits within a Misawadai District Area Plan, which limits new builds to 9 meters in height with a maximum of two stories above ground. Additionally, the building contains unregistered extensions totaling approximately 36 m² (approximately 387.5 ft²) across both floors. These factors significantly affect redevelopment options and should be reviewed with a qualified real estate attorney before purchase.

Price: ¥21,800,000 (approximately $136,344 USD) Building Area: 90.25 m² / 971.4 ft² (plus ~36 m² unregistered extensions) Land Area: 245.65 m² / 2,643.7 ft² Layout: 4DK Year Built: September 1972 Access: 11-min walk to Hyakusoen Station (Keio Racecourse Line); 18-min walk to Takahatafudo Station (Tama Monorail) Parking: Yes Status: Vacant / Delivery by consultation Property ID: 713681076

Located in Nishihokima 1-chome in Adachi Ward, this compact wooden detached house offers a foothold in Tokyo's 23 wards at a price point well under ¥20 million. The building area is 52.16 m² (561.5 ft²) on a land area of 61.53 m² (662.4 ft²), with a modest 3K floor plan and a construction date of October 1977.

Access is via a 16-minute walk from Takenotsuka Station on the Tobu Daishi Line, or alternatively by an 11-minute bus ride to Yatsuka Station and a further 5-minute walk. The property uses individual propane gas, public water supply, and public sewage. It sits within a quasi-fire prevention zone and a Type 2 height restriction zone — constraints that are common in older Tokyo residential areas and typically do not prevent renovation but do impose certain conditions on new construction.

For buyers interested in the Adachi Ward market — which has seen rising interest due to relatively affordable pricing compared to central wards — this is a small but structurally individual property on owned land, rather than a leasehold or apartment arrangement.

Price: ¥16,400,000 (approximately $102,571 USD) Building Area: 52.16 m² / 561.5 ft² Land Area: 61.53 m² / 662.4 ft² Layout: 3K Year Built: October 1977 Access: 16-min walk to Takenotsuka Station (Tobu Daishi Line) Parking: None Status: Vacant / Delivery by consultation Property ID: 713686620

Of the Hachioji properties in this week's roundup, this one in Kitanodai 1-chome stands out for the depth of its renovation. Completed in September 2025, the works covered the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, walls, floors, washroom, water heater, doors and windows — plus exterior wall and roof painting and seismic reinforcement. The result is a home that presents in genuinely new condition despite a 1977 construction date.

The 4LDK layout covers 96.88 m² (1,042.8 ft²) on a substantial 204.57 m² (2,202.1 ft²) land plot, with a south-facing orientation and a garden. The spacious LDK is approximately 17.0 tatami mats — a size rarely seen even in newer builds in the Tokyo area. City gas is connected, and public water and sewage are in place.

The nearest station is Kitano Station on the Keio Line, at a 21-minute walk — or alternatively Naganuma Station at 23 minutes. While the walk times are on the longer side, the land area, renovation quality, and livable space at this price point make a compelling case. The property is currently vacant and available immediately.

Price: ¥27,990,000 (approximately $175,056 USD) Building Area: 96.88 m² / 1,042.8 ft² Land Area: 204.57 m² / 2,202.1 ft² Layout: 4LDK Year Built: July 1977 (fully renovated September 2025) Access: 21-min walk to Kitano Station (Keio Line); 23-min walk to Naganuma Station (Keio Line) Parking: Yes Status: Vacant / Immediately available Property ID: 713695976

Built in April 2006, this 4LDK home in Momokusa, Hino City is one of the more modern properties in this week's selection — just under 20 years old. Located within a former residential development area, it benefits from the well-maintained streetscape and consistent zoning that such planned communities typically provide. Every room features windows on two sides for cross-ventilation, and the southeast-facing road aspect ensures good daily sunlight.

The property covers 93.15 m² (1,002.7 ft²) of building area on a 120.00 m² (1,291.7 ft²) plot, with on-site parking for two cars side by side (subject to vehicle dimensions). The interior condition is described as good, and the listing notes each room is approximately 6 tatami mats or larger. City gas is connected, along with public water and sewage.

The access picture is mixed: the property is 24 minutes on foot from Hyakusoen Station on the Keio Line, or reachable by an 8-minute bus ride from Takahatafudo Station. The property is currently occupied and delivery is by consultation.

Price: ¥24,800,000 (approximately $155,100 USD) Building Area: 93.15 m² / 1,002.7 ft² Land Area: 120.00 m² / 1,291.7 ft² Layout: 4LDK Year Built: April 2006 Access: 24-min walk to Hyakusoen Station (Keio Line); 8-min bus + 9-min walk from Takahatafudo Station Parking: On-site (2 cars) Status: Currently occupied / Delivery by consultation Property ID: 713776287

This one is genuinely unusual — a single-story, one-room wooden house in Ikejiri 3-chome, Setagaya Ward, sitting just 7 minutes on foot from Ikejiri-Ohashi Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line and 12 minutes from the popular Sangenjaya hub. The building area is just 8.66 m² (93.2 ft²) on a 13.69 m² (147.4 ft²) land parcel, making it one of the smallest individual properties you'll encounter in the Tokyo market.

Built in October 2017, the structure is relatively new and sits on a northwest/northeast corner lot with approximately 7.958 meters of road frontage across two 4-meter-wide roads. The listing specifically notes its suitability for use as an office, studio, or small retail shop — not just as a residence. A storage room is included.

At ¥21 million for a property this size, the value proposition is squarely about the location rather than the space itself. Setagaya Ward is one of Tokyo's most desirable residential wards, and the Sangenjaya neighborhood in particular commands a premium. For buyers seeking a micro-foothold in this market — whether for personal use, as a creative workspace, or as a long-term investment — the land ownership model (as opposed to leasehold) is worth noting.

Price: ¥21,000,000 (approximately $131,340 USD) Building Area: 8.66 m² / 93.2 ft² Land Area: 13.69 m² / 147.4 ft² Layout: 1R (One Room) Year Built: October 2017 Access: 7-min walk to Ikejiri-Ohashi Station (Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line); 12-min walk to Sangenjaya Station Parking: None Status: Vacant / Delivery by consultation Property ID: 713778392

Priced at just ¥3.5 million, this is one of the most affordable properties in this week's lineup — and it comes with a distinctly different lifestyle proposition. Located in Hakogaki, Boguchi-cho, Ayabe City in northern Kyoto Prefecture, this is a traditional single-story Japanese farmhouse (5DK layout) with a tiled roof, sitting at the end of a small mountain hamlet. The building area is 83.30 m² (896.5 ft²) on a land area of 601.65 m² (6,476.5 ft²) — a ratio that reflects rural Japan's characteristic generosity of outdoor space.

The attached building (a storage shed/living room annex) adds another 61.15 m² (658.3 ft²), bringing the total usable footprint to over 144 m². Across the road sits an additional parcel currently designated as mixed-use/farmland — large enough for a garden, barbecue area, or small agricultural project. The property is accessible roughly 18 minutes by car from the Ayabe-Ankokuji Interchange on the Kyoto Jukan Expressway.

Buyers should note that the construction date is unknown and the property has been vacant. The area is also flagged on hazard maps as being within a landslide hazard zone, which is common for mountain village properties in Japan and warrants careful review. Utilities include propane gas, public water supply, and a septic tank. A brokerage fee of ¥330,000 applies.

Price: ¥3,500,000 (approximately $21,889 USD) Building Area: 83.30 m² / 896.5 ft² (plus 61.15 m² / 658.3 ft² attached outbuilding) Land Area: 601.65 m² / 6,476.5 ft² Layout: 5DK Year Built: Unknown (vacant) Access: ~18 min by car from Ayabe-Ankokuji IC (Kyoto Jukan Expressway) Parking: Yes (2+ cars) Status: Vacant Note: Landslide hazard zone designation; brokerage fee ¥330,000 applies Property ID: 57665

This is the kind of property that draws attention from the countryside living and akiya renovation communities — a large, fully renovated traditional Japanese house in Iitaka-cho, Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture (the region famous for Matsusaka beef). The renovation was completed in September 2025, preserving the original sturdy beams and pillars of local solid wood while modernizing the interior in a contemporary style. Two sturdily built warehouses are included in the sale.

The numbers are striking for the price: a 157.11 m² (1,690.8 ft²) building area on a total land area of 2,786.98 m² (29,999.0 ft²) — nearly 3,000 square meters spread across residential land, miscellaneous land, farmland, and undeveloped land. The main residential land portion is 618.98 m² (6,663.7 ft²), with the rest comprising additional parcels. The floor plan is 8 bedrooms plus living/dining/kitchen, built in November 1960.

The listing highlights the property's versatility: short-term rental use, a cafe or restaurant operation, event hosting, hobby storage, and vegetable gardening are all cited as realistic options. A roadside station with a hot spring facility is noted at 10 minutes away. Utilities include propane gas, public water supply, and individual septic tank. This property was featured on Kansai TV's "Yoi Don!" program.

Price: ¥24,800,000 (approximately $155,100 USD) Building Area: 157.11 m² / 1,690.8 ft² Land Area: 2,786.98 m² / 29,999.0 ft² (total; residential portion 618.98 m²) Layout: 8 rooms + LDK Year Built: November 1960 (renovated September 2025) Access: ~15 min by car; nearest major station is JR Iitaka Parking: Yes (multiple cars) Status: Vacant / Available for immediate occupancy Property ID: 60729

Situated in Itohara, Miyazaki City in Miyazaki Prefecture, this renovated single-story home offers a well-rounded package at a reasonable price. The 2LDK layout (LDK at 16 tatami mats, two additional Western-style rooms) covers 93.42 m² (1,005.5 ft²) on a 538.7 m² (5,799.0 ft²) land area. It was built in October 1995 and has been renovated, with updates including exterior and roof painting, a new front door, new kitchenette with IH cooktop, new bathroom, toilet and washbasin, new flooring, double-glazed insulating windows, and an eco-friendly water heater.

The property is fully electric (Kyushu Electric Power), connected to public water and sewage, and includes a carport with parking for four cars. A large south-facing garden is a practical bonus, along with a 5-year termite warranty. Elementary and junior high schools are within walking distance (900 m and 1,500 m respectively), and the city center is roughly 15 minutes by car.

A note for buyers: the property sits within an urbanization control area (building possible), and rebuilding would require a development permit application — standard for this type of rural-fringe residential zoning in Japan. Access to Miyazaki Jingu Station on the JR Nippo Main Line is approximately 10 km (15 minutes by car).

Price: ¥19,800,000 (approximately $123,835 USD) Building Area: 93.42 m² / 1,005.5 ft² Land Area: 538.7 m² / 5,799.0 ft² Layout: 2LDK Year Built: October 1995 (renovated) Access: ~15 min by car to Miyazaki Jingu Station (JR Nippo Main Line) Parking: Carport (4 cars) Status: Vacant / Available for immediate occupancy Property ID: 62109

This week's most distinctive listing is in a category of its own. The "Miyako Island Cultural Romance Salon" is a bespoke reinforced concrete building commissioned in 2022 from an architect with an extensive portfolio across Okinawa, located in the Hirara district — the commercial heart of Miyako Island. At ¥140 million, it is priced at an entirely different level from the other properties in this roundup, but the proposition is equally different.

The building area is 88.46 m² (952.0 ft²) on a land area of 365.40 m² (3,933.5 ft²), including a rooftop terrace of equal area to the building footprint. The ground floor currently houses "PALI GALLERY," an art gallery and attached café directed by contemporary artists Daichiro Shinjo and photographer Naoki Ishikawa. The rooftop has previously been used as an open-air restaurant. The design structurally permits the addition of a second floor, should a future owner wish to expand or add accommodation.

A spacious courtyard overflowing with tropical greenery is included in the sale and has regularly served as an event and market venue. The adjacent single-story building (not included but neighboring) is expected to open as a new restaurant, which the listing notes could create a complementary corridor of activity. The listing is framed explicitly as an opportunity for someone who wants to live on or do business from Miyako Island. Pets are allowed, musical instruments may be played, and restaurant use is confirmed as possible.

Price: ¥140,000,000 (approximately $875,602 USD) Building Area: 88.46 m² / 952.0 ft² (plus rooftop terrace 88.46 m²) Land Area: 365.40 m² / 3,933.5 ft² Layout: Commercial/mixed-use (residential, office, retail possible) Year Built: 2022 Access: Miyako Airport: 5.7 km (~12 min by car); Hirara district (central Miyako Island) Parking: Street-level access Status: Currently occupied / Handover date negotiable Property ID: 25954
