Hello everyone! This is Michelle from YukiHomes. We’re excited to introduce The Bento Box! Every Friday, we’ll be sharing three of our favorite property deals from three different regions. So, let’s get started! 🍱

Ingredient #1

Features

  • 📍 Location: Akaiwa, Otaru, Hokkaido
  • 💰 Price: ¥1,300,000 (~$8,500 USD)
  • 🏠 Type: Detached House
  • 🛏 Layout: 4LDK
  • 📐 Building Size: 94.4 m² (1,016 sq ft)
  • 🌿 Land Size: 341 m² (3,670 sq ft)
  • 🚍 Access: 4-minute walk to Chuo Bus “Akaiwa Nakadori” stop

This house has decreased in price by 27% from $12,500 to $8,500 for a 1016 sq ft house in the north of Otaru. This is a great opportunity to have a ski house for a very low entry price. The house has had several renovations, meaning it may not require immediate work and could be used sooner than many properties at this price level. Another highlight is the large plot of land, which provides plenty of outdoor space and even potential for future expansion or landscaping.

  • 🚉 Access: 8-minute walk to Iriyamase Station (Minobu Line)

This property offers a rare chance to own an affordable home in the Mount Fuji region, one of Japan’s most iconic and visited areas. With eight rooms, the property provides plenty of flexibility for future use. It could potentially be transformed into a large family home, a guesthouse, or even a small rental property. For those willing to take on a renovation project, this property offers space, location, and potential.

This spacious two-story property offers a great opportunity in the sunny southern region of Miyazaki Prefecture. There is easy access to Nichinan, which is known for its beautiful sightseeing spots, temples, and beaches. Just Google Udo Jingu Shrine, and you will thank me later. If you’re looking for warm weather, relaxed Japanese coastal living, and beautiful nature, this area is definitely worth exploring.
