The residence comes equipped with solar panels and a storage battery on the roof, which helps offset energy costs. The home is 41 years old but was renovated about 31 years ago, with the system kitchen, toilet, sink, bathtub, gas water heater, front door, wallpaper, flooring, and lighting all having been replaced at that time.

The property sits on a corner lot fronting a wide road, with parking for two or more vehicles. A Lawson convenience store is 0.5 km away, and an elementary school and train station are both within 1 km. The listing notes the property is near the sea, making it a reasonable option for those interested in coastal country living within Chiba Prefecture. The seller's brokerage fee is listed as 0 yen.

Built during the Taisho era, this traditional single-story farmhouse has only been vacant for a short period and is described as livable as-is for those without specific preferences. The home features a wood-burning stove for warmth during the cold Shinshu winters, along with a functional kitchen, flush toilet, and bath. One Western-style room is partially through a DIY renovation, and materials and tools are included. The large land area includes a vegetable garden, a storage shed of approximately 8 tatami mats, a concrete warehouse, and even a lawnmower.

The view to the west faces Satoyama — the classic Japanese rural landscape — and the surrounding area is home to a growing community of migrants from other prefectures who have opened cafes, guesthouses, and restaurants. Takato Town center, a supermarket, Takato Castle Ruins Park, and a hot spring are all within a 15-minute drive. Renovation subsidies of up to ¥1,500,000 may be available for eligible buyers through the Ina City Vacant House Bank program. A car is necessary for daily life.

Property 4: $0 (FREE) | Free Two-Story Akiya Near Sawada Beach | Sado City, Niigata

Price: ¥0 (Free transfer) Location: Yahata-cho, Sado City, Niigata Prefecture (multiple lot addresses) Property Type: Vacant house — land and buildings (free transfer) Building Area: 119.00 m² / 1st floor + 35.53 m² / 2nd floor (1,663 ft² total) Land Area: 864.00 m² (9,300 ft²) | Year Built: Under investigation Access: Near Sawada Beach (Mano Bay), Yahata-cho area

This is a free property transfer on Sado Island — the owner inherited it from family and would like to pass it on to someone willing to take it as-is. The land includes residential plots, a field, and a reservoir pond across four parcels. The two-story wooden structure sits on a generous 864 m² combined lot. The seller notes that there are holes in the ceiling and floor that have worsened over time, so the property will require renovation work before it can be comfortably occupied.

The setting is genuinely appealing: Sawada Beach and Kubota Campground are nearby, and the area offers a quieter, island lifestyle. Annual property taxes are approximately ¥18,000. The seller is looking for someone who understands the condition and is prepared to take the property on those terms. Year of construction and full equipment details are still under investigation.

Property 5: $100,600 | Renovated Designer Apartment in Akishima, Near Tachikawa | Akishima City, Tokyo

Price: ¥15,800,000 (approximately $100,600 USD) Location: Musashino, Akishima City, Tokyo Property Type: Condominium (owner-change — currently rented) Exclusive Area: 66.54 m² (716 ft²) | Floor: 6th of 8 stories Year Built: 1990 | Access: 11-minute walk from Seibu Tachikawa Station (Seibu Haijima Line) Management Fee: ¥11,800/month | Repair Reserve Fund: ¥7,340/month

This apartment was boldly renovated by the current owner in 2007, converting the original 3LDK layout into a mostly open one-room design suited for single living — an uncommon floor plan for the area. One of its most distinctive features is a fully open bathroom with no partitions. The interior is described as having a simple, design-forward aesthetic. The property is currently occupied by a tenant, so buyers would be acquiring it as an investment (approx. 6.83% surface yield) with the option to occupy upon the next vacancy.

Because the listing agent has not had access to view the interior recently, the current condition is somewhat uncertain — some wear is expected given 9 years of rental use since 2017. Photos from the original renovation (2007) are available but may not reflect present conditions. Home loans cannot be used; a business loan or cash purchase is required. Showa Memorial Park is within cycling distance, and Tachikawa Station is about 8 minutes by train from Akishima Station.

Property 6: $317,200 | Generous Renovated Compound Home with Warehouse, Garden & Studio Potential | Miura City, Kanagawa

Price: ¥49,800,000 — tax included (approximately $317,200 USD) Location: Wada, Hatsuse-cho, Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture Property Type: Used detached house (currently occupied as office/studio) Building Area: 166.54 m² (1,792 ft²) | Site Area: 1,040.49 m² (11,200 ft²) Year Built: Unknown | Access: 31-minute walk or 3-minute bus ride from Misakiguchi Station (Keikyu Kurihama Line); 13-minute walk from Yahagi Iriguchi bus stop

Sitting on just over 1,000 m² in the Miura Peninsula, this large property blends a classic Japanese feel with the kind of playful, free-spirited renovation that suits the coastal character of the area. The first floor includes a high-ceilinged LDK with a prominent kitchen, a Japanese-style room with a tokonoma alcove and built-in Shinto shrine, and a Western-style room with wooden sashes. The two second-floor rooms have a more intimate, inn-like character. The current owner has used the property as an office and photography studio.

Behind the main house sits a separate two-story warehouse with a deliberately eclectic exterior — corrugated iron and mismatched fittings — with a dirt floor below and plywood-finished upper level. A very large wooden deck with garden stones, an outdoor sink, and parking for five or more cars round out the outdoor space. The site also includes approximately 678 m² of forest and a retaining wall. The property falls within a quasi-fire prevention area and a landslide warning zone. Zoning allows accommodation or corporate retreat use. A swimming beach is within walking distance, and fresh produce shops and a home center are nearby.

Property 7: $222,900 | Custom-Built 2012 Home with Wood-Burning Stove and Loft | Saitama City, Saitama

Price: ¥35,000,000 (approximately $222,900 USD) Location: Oyaguchi, Minami Ward, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture Property Type: Used detached house (currently occupied) Building Area: 62.12 m² (669 ft²) | Site Area: 106.09 m² (1,142 ft²) Year Built: 2012 | Access: 10-minute bus ride from Urawa Station (Utsunomiya/Shonan-Shinjuku Lines), 9-minute walk from Hirogayato bus stop; or 26-minute walk from Minami-Urawa Station

This custom-built house was completed in 2012 and centers around a wood-burning stove in the living room — a genuinely appealing feature for those who want a cozy home with character. The living room has an open, high ceiling and a skylight, creating a sense of space that exceeds the building's footprint, and leads out to a wooden deck at floor height. Above the living room, a loft of approximately 8.9 tatami mats provides a flexible secondary space for reading, watching films, or relaxing. Windows on all sides ensure good natural light and ventilation throughout.

A parking lot that can accommodate a minivan sits beside the property, along with a small rear garden for those interested in light gardening. From Urawa Station, Ikebukuro is 18 minutes away and Shinjuku is 24 minutes — making this a reasonable option for those who commute to central Tokyo but prefer a quieter suburban setting. Supermarkets, drugstores, and restaurants are all within walking distance. Pets are allowed, and the property can also be used as a home office.

Property 8: $222,900 | Industrial-Chic Studio Near Sumida River, 8 Min Walk to Kayabacho | Chuo Ward, Tokyo

Price: ¥35,000,000 (approximately $222,900 USD) Location: Shinkawa, Chuo Ward, Tokyo Property Type: Condominium (vacant, residence and office allowed) Exclusive Area: 38.56 m² (415 ft²) | Floor: 3rd of 11 stories Year Built: 1979 | Access: 8-minute walk from Kayabacho Station (Tozai/Hibiya Lines); 10-min from Hatchobori; 12-min from Monzen-Nakacho; 14-min from Nihonbashi Management Fee: ¥15,600/month | Repair Reserve Fund: ¥11,700/month

Located in Shinkawa, Chuo Ward, this compact studio apartment has been fitted with a removed ceiling to expose the concrete and pipes overhead, creating a raw, industrial aesthetic. Navy wallpaper on the walls adds contrast, and electrical outlets have been placed throughout to support office use. The layout prioritizes room space over the bathroom area, and the property is positioned about two minutes from the Sumida River, where the Sumida River Terrace offers a walkable and scenic outdoor space nearby. The apartment has a single southeast-facing window, so natural light is limited.

Tokyo Station, Ginza, and Kiyosumi-Shirakawa are all reachable within a 10-minute bike ride, making this an attractive pied-à-terre for business travelers or remote workers who value central Tokyo access. The building is steel-framed reinforced concrete, 11 stories, and was constructed in 1979. Residence and office use are both permitted. Pets are not allowed.

Property 9: $245,200 | Well-Maintained 2008 Custom-Built Home with South Garden | Higashimurayama City, Tokyo

Price: ¥38,500,000 (approximately $245,200 USD) Location: Aobacho, Higashimurayama City, Tokyo Property Type: Used detached house (currently vacant) Building Area: 65 m² (700 ft²) | Site Area: 103.16 m² (1,111 ft²) Year Built: 2008 | Access: 24-minute walk from Higashimurayama Station (Seibu Shinjuku Line); 5-minute bus ride from Kumegawa Station; 9-minute walk from Ontamachi 5-chome bus stop

Built in 2008 by a local construction company, this two-story wooden home has been well cared for. The kitchen, bathroom, and other frequently used areas are in notably good condition for an 18-year-old property. The first floor has a dining area, bathroom, and two rooms of 4.5 and 4 tatami mats respectively; the second floor has an 8-tatami Western-style room and two storage rooms — one of which has a window and could serve as a study or home workspace. The house faces south and has a garden that benefits from ample sunlight.

The same construction company that built the house is still operating locally and would be available to assist with any renovation discussions — a practical advantage. The property includes an OM solar heating system, parking for one car, a private road share, and garden space. It suits someone comfortable working from home or driving to commute rather than relying on daily train access. Pets are allowed.

Property 10: $308,900 | Architect-Designed Apartment with Plywood Interiors and Movable Storage | Koganei City, Tokyo

Price: ¥48,500,000 (approximately $308,900 USD) Location: Nakamachi, Koganei City, Tokyo Property Type: Condominium (currently occupied, negotiable delivery) Exclusive Area: 62.18 m² (669 ft²) | Floor: 2nd of 5 stories Year Built: 1977 | Access: 13-minute walk from Musashi-Koganei Station (Chuo Line); 15-minute walk from Higashi-Koganei Station Management Fee: ¥11,370/month | Repair Reserve Fund: ¥17,055/month

Designed by the owner, an architect, this apartment has been thoughtfully conceived down to the smallest detail. The layout runs east to west, with the kitchen and bathroom anchored in the center. A movable storage unit near the entrance can be repositioned to either connect or divide the living and sleeping zones, offering flexibility that most apartments of this era cannot provide. The interiors feature smooth plywood in the bedroom, painted and plastered surfaces elsewhere, and gray-toned flooring — a calm, restrained palette. The listing agent notes that with the back panel of the movable storage unit serving as a potential projection screen, a projector is recommended over a television.

The building sits at the edge of the apartment complex, with most of the space above occupied by a balcony and below by bicycle parking — meaning the only neighboring unit is directly to one side. An OK Store is nearby, and Musashino Park is a 6-minute bike ride away. Parking is available at ¥15,000/month (no current vacancies). Bicycle parking is available at ¥1,200/year. Pets are not allowed.

Property 11: $374,000–$428,100 | New Cooperative Village on 300-Year-Old Farmland | Higashikurume City, Tokyo

Price: ¥58,715,000–¥67,210,000 — tax included (approximately $374,000–$428,100 USD) Location: Minamimachi, Higashikurume City, Tokyo Property Type: New construction cooperative housing (planned completion Summer 2027) Building Area: 81.98 m² (882 ft², standard plan) | Site Area: 101.80–151.61 m² (1,096–1,632 ft²) Access: 9-minute bus from Hibarigaoka Station (Seibu Ikebukuro Line) + 8-minute walk; 28-minute walk from Hanakoganei Station (Seibu Shinjuku Line) Management Fee: ¥2,500/month | Repair Reserve Fund: ¥4,000/month

This is not a standard for-sale listing — it is an invitation to participate in a cooperative village development on land that has been farmed by the same family for 300 years in Higashikurume City. Rather than purchasing a completed home, participants join as cooperative members and build the land and housing together, with design handled by Bioform Environmental Design Office, a studio focused on homes in harmony with natural materials. The standard plan calls for cedar board exterior walls with a plaster upper finish, exposed structural ceilings, solid cedar floors, and painted interiors — materials chosen to improve with age.

The project prioritizes continuous greenery across the site, a pedestrian-vehicle separated layout, and a shared ethos of preserving the town's landscape. A communicator will live on-site to facilitate community connections and advise on greenery management. Across the street is Taneniha Garden — a farm and cafe space operated by the same landowning family. Individual lots are available (Nos. 7–18, with No. 16 already contracted). The displayed prices include land acquisition, architectural design and construction, and land development costs. Options to expand the floor area to 90–100 m² are available at additional cost. Pets and musical instruments are allowed; city gas and full water/sewerage are included.

Completely renovated from bare bones five years ago, this 8th-floor apartment offers east-facing windows with open views and a distant glimpse of the Tokyo Skytree. The interior features oak flooring, white painted walls, black hanger pipe and bracket lighting accents, and a two-burner gas stove kitchen. The bathroom and toilet are accessible from both the bedroom and living room, and a built-in handwashing sink has been added beside the entrance. The layout also includes a niche shelf beside the bed, shelving above a glass partition, and a thoughtful traffic flow that makes the compact footprint feel well-used.

Nerima Station is well served by multiple rail lines and has a late-night Seiyu grocery store and a range of independent shops. The Oedo Line provides direct access to Aoyama and Roppongi, while the Seibu lines connect to Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Yokohama. The seller moved following marriage. Pets are allowed (up to 2, under 50 cm in length when fully grown), and musical instruments are permitted. The unit is currently occupied; delivery date is negotiable.

Located in Mizuho-machi in the western Tokyo countryside, this 36-year-old two-story wooden home sits on a southwest-facing corner lot with good natural sunlight. The listing highlights ample storage space and a quiet residential setting surrounded by greenery. Key features include city gas, a counter kitchen, underfloor heating, a walk-in closet, and a balcony. Parking for two or more vehicles is available on-site, and the property has access to main sewer lines.

The surrounding area includes Mizuho Third Elementary School (1,667 m) and Mizuho Junior High School (2,000 m). The property is in the city planning adjustment area with a building coverage ratio of 40% and floor area ratio of 80%.
