Akiya Letter空き家便り
Every week we read Japan's official municipal akiya (vacant-house) banks — the listings published
only in Japanese — and bring you the most interesting ones in plain English, summarized in our own words
with a link straight to the source.
Availability changes fast. Purchases go through the municipality or its designated local agent —
never through us. We are an information service, not a real estate brokerage, and are not party to any
transaction. USD figures are indicative. Listing facts © respective municipalities.
