How to budget for your Akiya house in Japan? What to do when planning to purchase a house for the first time?
Are you considering purchasing an abandoned home in Japan? Known as "akiya," these empty houses are available at remarkably low prices, sometimes as little as $23,000. The abundance of these homes is due to several cultural and demographic factors, including a preference for new homes and significant population shifts towards urban areas.
Many Japanese people view older homes as having little value, which contributes to the low cost of akiya. Additionally, Japan's declining fertility rate and urban migration leave many homes without heirs or with owners who see no benefit in maintaining rural properties.
