Landing page captured for the 2026-09-27 issue.
For
English-speaking buyers researching vacant homes in Japan
Worth noticing
A featured listing translates three specific risks: urbanisation-control restrictions, pre-June 1981 earthquake standards, and a stigmatized-property disclosure.

Field notes

Filters include “under ¥1M,” “near a station,” “empty now,” and “no red flags.” The featured Tsuruoka property lists its age, layout, floor area, and land area, then explains restricted building rights, pre-1981 earthquake standards, and a stigmatized-property disclosure; the page estimates total purchase costs at ¥2.88M–¥3.44M.
