SUMMARY
Yes, Japan’s cheap akiya can absolutely be worth buying, but only when the low price comes from a fixable house problem rather than a permanently weak location.
The famous “9 million vacant homes” figure badly overstates the actual bargain pool. Roughly 3.85 million homes sit in the category closest to genuinely unused akiya, and even that includes properties tied up by heirs, reluctant owners, poor access, demolition costs and places with almost no demand.
The purchase price is often the least important number. A ¥1 million house can turn into a ¥10 million-plus project once roofing, wiring, plumbing, termite treatment, structural work, taxes, registration and brokerage are included.
That makes the cheapest listings surprisingly easy to overpay for. A habitable ¥6 million or ¥8 million house can be cheaper in real terms than a “free” house that needs a complete restoration.
Construction year matters, but it is only a first filter. Pre-1981 homes deserve immediate seismic scrutiny, while many wooden houses built between 1981 and 2000 still warrant careful structural checks rather than automatic confidence.
Japan’s second-hand housing market is healthier than the old stereotype suggests. Existing-home transaction activity is well above its 2010 baseline, which improves the exit route for decent older houses in functioning markets without doing much for properties in places where the buyer pool is disappearing.
Foreigners can generally own Japanese real estate without living in Japan, but ownership is much easier than operating an old rural house from abroad. Management, storm checks, vegetation, snow, repairs and local notices can turn a cheap second home into a very hands-on asset.
For investors, mortgageability is an underrated resale test. If banks will not lend against the house today because of its age, access or documentation, the same problem may shrink the pool of future buyers even if the current owner pays cash.
Rental and minpaku yields can look spectacular when calculated only against the asking price. Once renovation, vacancy, management and the 180-night national minpaku ceiling are included, the investment case depends far more on local tenant or tourism demand than on how little the house cost.
The best akiya setups tend to sit on the edge of healthy regional cities, in established tourism markets, within realistic reach of large population centers, or in towns receiving serious new investment. The worst combine declining population, poor access, weak land value and expensive structural problems.
Our conclusion is simple: start with the town, not the listing. If jobs, services, tourism, transport and future buyer demand are there, a heavily discounted old house can be extraordinary value. If those things are missing, a ¥1 million akiya can still be an expensive mistake.

Are there really 9 million cheap akiya waiting to be bought?
No. Japan has around 9 million vacant homes, but the pool of abandoned houses that can realistically be bought cheaply is much smaller.
The latest full Housing and Land Survey from Japan’s Statistics Bureau counted 9.0 million vacant dwellings, or 13.8% of the country’s housing stock. Both figures were records. The number is striking, but it mixes together several very different kinds of vacancy.
About 4.43 million units were empty rentals. Roughly 327,000 were already for sale, while around 383,000 were second homes. The category closest to what people usually imagine when they hear “akiya” contained about 3.85 million homes that were neither rentals, properties for sale nor second homes.
Even those 3.85 million houses are not automatically available. Some have owners who refuse to sell. Others are stuck between heirs, have difficult access, need demolition or sit in places where almost nobody is looking for a home.
This distinction has become even more relevant now that Japan is pushing harder to bring unused property back into circulation. Municipal akiya banks are more visible, ownership records are gradually being cleaned up and brokers have stronger incentives to handle low-value houses. More properties should become sellable, but the 9 million headline still exaggerates the investable supply by several times.
| Vacant-home category | Approximate stock | Share of vacancies | How relevant is it to akiya buyers? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Empty rental homes | 4.43 million | 49% | Low |
| Other unused vacant homes | 3.85 million | 43% | High |
| Second homes | 0.38 million | 4% | Low |
| Homes already for sale | 0.33 million | 4% | Moderate |
| Total vacant dwellings | 9.00 million | 100% | Misleading if used alone |
Why are some Japanese akiya selling for almost nothing?
Most ultra-cheap Japanese akiya are priced that way because local buyers see very little value in the house, the location or both.
Japan has a genuine structural housing surplus in large parts of the country. The latest Statistics Bureau count found more than 65 million dwellings nationwide, up 4.2% in five years even as Japan’s population continued to decline.
That surplus is concentrated unevenly. Central Tokyo can have expensive apartments while a village a few hours away has houses that heirs struggle to give away. Younger households have spent decades moving toward major metropolitan areas and stronger regional cities. When an elderly owner dies or moves into care, the children may already live hundreds of kilometers away.
The result is a market where a ¥500,000 asking price can be perfectly rational.
Sometimes the building itself has almost no market value. In weaker locations, the land can also be worth surprisingly little. Add years of maintenance, property taxes, vegetation control and eventual demolition, and an inherited house can feel more like an obligation than an asset.
That is why we would treat an absurdly low asking price as the beginning of the investigation rather than proof that we found a bargain.
Don't buy the wrong property, in the wrong area of Japan
Buying real estate is a significant investment. Don't rely solely on your intuition. Gather the right information to make the best decision.
Does a ¥1 million akiya really cost only ¥1 million?
Almost never. With cheap akiya, the purchase price can quickly become one of the smaller costs in the project.
Normal Japanese acquisition expenses still apply, including registration, professional fees, taxes and sometimes brokerage. Cheap vacant homes also have a recent twist: Japan changed brokerage rules for low-value properties so agents could be paid more reasonably for the work involved.
Under the current special regime, a broker handling a property priced at ¥8 million or less can receive up to ¥330,000 including tax from one party when the conditions are met. On a ¥1 million house, that is already one-third of the advertised price.
Renovation can dwarf both numbers.
A house that mainly needs surfaces, tatami, appliances and a basic bathroom update may still be genuinely cheap. Once the work includes roofing, plumbing, rewiring, termite treatment, drainage, insulation, structural reinforcement or retaining walls, the headline price stops telling us much.
The free akiya belongs in the same category. A ¥0 house needing ¥12 million of serious work can easily be a worse deal than a habitable ¥6 million house down the road.
For that reason, we would compare akiya by all-in cost before comparing asking prices.
| Example property | Purchase price | Renovation and major work | Other acquisition/setup costs | Approximate all-in cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cheap house, light work | ¥1m | ¥3m | ¥0.5m | ¥4.5m |
| Cheap house, major renovation | ¥1m | ¥10m | ¥0.8m | ¥11.8m |
| Free house, heavy restoration | ¥0 | ¥18m | ¥1m | ¥19m |
| Habitable older house | ¥8m | ¥1m | ¥0.7m | ¥9.7m |
Is renovating an akiya where buyers usually get burned?
Yes. For the very cheapest akiya, renovation risk can move the final cost by several times the purchase price.
An empty Japanese house can deteriorate quickly. Small roof leaks go unnoticed. Moisture builds up. Termites spread through timber. Plumbing sits unused. In snowy areas, frozen pipes and roof loads create another set of risks.
Listing photos rarely reveal the expensive part.
A dated kitchen is easy to budget. Old wallpaper is easy to budget. Tatami replacement is easy to budget.
Foundation movement, failing retaining walls, rotten structural timber, extensive termite damage and illegal alterations are much harder.
A buyer deciding between a ¥500,000 house and a ¥3 million house can therefore make a mistake by focusing too heavily on the ¥2.5 million difference. One structural surprise can erase that saving immediately.
Japan’s own vacant-home guidance currently encourages building inspections before transactions because an inspection helps establish what needs repairing and reduces disputes after the sale. For us, that is one of the clearest places where spending money before buying can save far more later.
The best bargain is often an ugly but technically boring house.

How risky is a pre-1981 akiya in an earthquake?
A pre-1981 Japanese akiya deserves much more scrutiny because it was built under the older seismic regime.
The key dividing point comes from Japan’s major strengthening of earthquake standards in 1981. Houses constructed before that change are a central target of government seismic-upgrade programs.
There is another wrinkle that akiya buyers often miss. A house built after 1981 does not automatically have the same structural baseline as a modern wooden home.
After the Kumamoto earthquakes, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism found serious damage among some wooden houses built under the newer standard before connection requirements were clarified around 2000. The ministry subsequently published a specific evaluation method for wooden homes from that period.
That makes construction year a useful first filter, although we would still want the actual building checked.
Traditional kominka can absolutely be worth restoring, particularly when the timber frame is good and the house has architectural value. The economics simply have to absorb reinforcement where necessary.
| Construction period | Seismic context | How we would treat it |
|---|---|---|
| Before 1981 | Older seismic standard | High-priority structural inspection |
| 1981 to 2000 | Newer standard, but some wooden-home vulnerabilities remained | Careful inspection still needed |
| 2000 onward | Stronger wood-connection requirements | Better baseline |
| Recent construction | Modern standards and documentation | Usually easiest to assess |
Are old Japanese houses becoming easier to resell now?
Yes, Japan’s broader second-hand housing market is healthier than the old stereotype suggests, although that improvement does very little for an unwanted house in a dying location.
There is a useful fresh data point here. MLIT’s latest existing-home sales-volume index stood at 125.0 nationwide, with 2010 set at 100. Detached houses alone were at 124.6. The latest month dipped from the previous one, but transaction activity remains far above the 2010 baseline.
That fits a longer change in Japanese housing behavior. Existing homes have gradually taken a larger role in the market as buyers become more comfortable with inspections, renovation and older stock.
The change gives decent akiya a better exit route than they had years ago. A renovated older house near a station, hospital, employment center or attractive destination can find buyers.
The effect has limits. National second-hand liquidity cannot rescue a house in a village where the buyer pool is disappearing. The same MLIT data show that existing homes trade actively across Japan, yet local markets still differ enormously.
So we are more optimistic today about reselling a good old Japanese house. We are not more optimistic about reselling every old Japanese house.
Buying real estate in Japan can be risky
An increasing number of foreign investors are showing interest. However, 90% of them will make mistakes. Avoid the pitfalls with our comprehensive guide.
Can foreigners buy akiya in Japan without living there?
Yes. Foreigners can generally own Japanese akiya even as nonresidents, but property ownership does not give them the right to live in Japan.
Japan does not currently give a foreign buyer residency simply because they purchased a house. A person can therefore own property while remaining subject to normal immigration and visa rules.
For many overseas buyers, the practical problem starts after closing.
An empty house still needs someone to check leaks after storms, control vegetation, deal with snow, receive local notices, arrange repairs and respond if a neighbor reports a problem. Remote ownership becomes even more demanding when the building is old.
Foreign buyers can therefore face a strange situation where purchasing the property is easier than operating it.
Someone already living in Japan, moving there under an appropriate residence status or using the property regularly has a much cleaner setup. A buyer who plans to visit twice a year should budget for local management from the beginning.
Can foreigners get a mortgage for a cheap akiya?
Cheap akiya are still heavily tilted toward cash buyers, especially when the purchaser is a nonresident and the house itself has weak collateral value.
Japanese banks evaluate both the borrower and the property. A very old rural house can be difficult on both counts.
Residency status, income in Japan, employment history and domestic banking relationships can affect the borrower side. The house may create another obstacle if it is extremely old, poorly documented, hard to access or valued by the lender mainly for its land.
This has an important consequence for resale.
Imagine we buy an akiya for cash because the bank will not finance it. Five years later we find a buyer, but their bank reaches the same conclusion. Our potential market just shrank to people who can also pay cash or find alternative financing.
For an investment property, we would therefore investigate mortgageability even when we do not personally need a mortgage.
A house that banks struggle to lend against today may remain harder to sell tomorrow.

Can a cheap akiya actually work as an Airbnb or minpaku?
Yes, but only in places where people already want to visit. Cheap acquisition alone gives an akiya almost no tourism advantage.
Japan’s national minpaku system currently caps ordinary private-lodging operation at 180 nights per year. Municipal rules can narrow the operating window further. When the owner is absent, the national rules can also require a registered private-lodging administrator.
A separate hotel or inn licence can support a different operating model without the same 180-night cap, but the property then has to satisfy another set of requirements.
Those rules immediately make location much more important than purchase price.
A renovated house near Niseko, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, an onsen destination or a popular coastal area can benefit from existing visitor demand. A prettier and cheaper house in a depopulating inland village may have almost no bookings.
Tourists never see the owner’s acquisition yield. They see location, transport, reviews, comfort and what they can do nearby.
The strongest akiya hospitality deals we found therefore share a simple characteristic: the property is unusually cheap compared with the tourism value of its location.
| Akiya use | Income potential | Main constraint | Best setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal home | No rental income required | Livability and access | Viable town or preferred lifestyle area |
| Long-term rental | Recurring income | Local tenant demand | Near jobs and services |
| Minpaku | Potentially high nightly rate | 180-night national cap plus local restrictions | Proven tourism destination |
| Licensed lodging | Possible year-round operation | Harder regulatory/building requirements | Strong tourist market |
| Second home | Lifestyle value | Remote maintenance | Accessible leisure area |
Do cheap akiya produce huge rental yields?
Usually only on paper. Once renovation, vacancy and operating costs are included, the spectacular yield often collapses.
Take a ¥2 million akiya rented for ¥30,000 per month. Using the purchase price alone gives an 18% gross yield, which looks extraordinary.
Now assume the house needs ¥5 million of work before a tenant can move in. The invested capital becomes ¥7 million and the same rent produces about 5.1% gross.
If the property then sits vacant for two months, annual rent falls from ¥360,000 to ¥300,000. From there we still have insurance, taxes, repairs and management.
The bigger question is whether the area has enough tenants.
A house near a hospital, university, military facility, factory, logistics hub or regional employment center can work even at a low rent because there is a reason for people to live nearby.
A house deep in a shrinking village can remain empty at almost any sensible rent.
This is one section where we can be quite sharp: the ¥2 million price does not create an 18% investment. The tenant creates the investment.

Don't repeat the same mistakes others have made before you. Make sure everything is in order before signing your sales contract.
Is Japan’s shrinking population the biggest risk for rural akiya?
Yes. For akiya bought as investments, local population decline can matter more than almost anything happening inside the house.
Japan’s National Institute of Population and Social Security Research projects the national population to fall from roughly 126 million in 2020 to around 87 million in 2070 under its central scenario.
That is close to 40 million fewer people.
The important part for akiya buyers is that the decline will be highly uneven. Tokyo and successful metropolitan areas can keep attracting people. Regional capitals can pull residents from nearby smaller municipalities. Tourism hotspots and places receiving major industrial investment can also outperform their surrounding prefectures.
Small communities with few jobs face a much harder cycle.
Population declines. Schools consolidate. Bus routes become less useful. Shops disappear. Medical access can get worse. These changes then make the town less attractive to younger households, which pushes demand down again.
A house can survive physically for decades while its buyer pool disappears around it.
That is why we would look at municipal population trajectory, employment and services before spending much time admiring the property.
Does the land under an akiya protect you if the house loses value?
Sometimes. Good land can put a floor under an akiya investment, while weak rural land can be almost as illiquid as the building sitting on it.
The useful thought experiment is simple: if the house burned down tomorrow, would somebody still want this parcel?
A flat residential lot close to a station in a functioning city could have obvious redevelopment value. Land near an expanding employment area can also remain desirable even when an old building has reached the end of its useful life.
A remote hillside parcel is a different proposition.
Narrow access, private roads, unclear boundaries, agricultural restrictions, steep slopes, retaining walls and difficult utility connections can all make land expensive to use and hard to resell.
Demolition adds another complication. Once an old house is removed, the owner may spend meaningful money just to arrive at an empty parcel that still has very little market demand.
With ultra-cheap akiya, we would therefore spend more time studying the parcel than buyers normally expect. The house may be the romantic part of the deal, but the land often determines how painful the downside can become.

Could Japan’s stricter vacant-house rules make a bad akiya harder to escape?
Yes. Japan is currently making long-term neglect less comfortable for owners, which raises the cost of buying an akiya without a clear plan.
Inheritance registration has already become mandatory. Heirs generally have three years from learning that they inherited real estate to register it, and older unregistered inheritances are also being pulled into the system. Change-of-address and change-of-name registration for real estate owners has now become mandatory as well.
Japan has also strengthened its vacant-house framework so municipalities can intervene earlier when a property is being badly managed. In certain cases, an owner can lose favorable residential-land property-tax treatment after a formal municipal recommendation.
These changes should gradually improve a market that spent years accumulating houses with unclear ownership and absent heirs.
They also remove some of the appeal of the “I’ll buy it now and figure it out later” strategy.
A property bought cheaply can still demand vegetation control, repairs, taxes, insurance, demolition or structural work even when nobody wants to buy it from us.
As we saw above, mandatory ownership registration also makes the old practice of letting inherited property drift indefinitely harder to sustain. That should release more akiya onto the market over time, but some of those houses will be coming to market precisely because their existing owners want to stop carrying them.
Are akiya subsidies enough to make a bad house worth buying?
Rarely. Local akiya subsidies can improve a good project, but we would never use the maximum advertised grant to justify a property that fails without it.
Japan does not have one universal subsidy that follows every vacant house. Support is highly local.
A municipality may help with renovation, demolition, seismic reinforcement or relocation. Another municipality may offer something completely different. Eligibility can depend on moving into the town, staying for several years, having children, using approved contractors or completing the work inside a fixed period.
Some programs reimburse eligible costs after the buyer has already paid them.
This creates a common mistake in cheap-property calculations. A buyer sees a ¥1 million house and a potential ¥2 million renovation subsidy, then mentally treats the property as almost free.
The real calculation should start with the project before subsidies. If the house works financially, confirmed assistance improves the return. If the house fails without a grant that we may or may not receive, the margin for error is too small.
Subsidies are most useful when they pay for work we already intended to do.

Where are cheap akiya actually worth buying today?
The most interesting akiya are usually in places where the house is cheap for reasons we can fix while the location still gives people a reason to be there.
The outer neighborhoods of healthy regional cities are one example. We can sometimes buy an old detached house cheaply while keeping access to hospitals, supermarkets, schools, employment and rail.
Established tourism areas are another. The acquisition price may be higher than in an anonymous rural village, but existing visitor demand gives the property far more ways to earn money or find another buyer.
Second-home markets within realistic reach of Tokyo, Osaka and other large population centers can also work. Accessibility changes the buyer pool dramatically.
We would also investigate towns receiving serious new investment. Semiconductor plants, factories, logistics hubs, major tourism projects and transport upgrades can create housing demand that the old housing stock was never priced for.
The latest MLIT resale data make this distinction even more important. Existing detached-house transaction activity nationwide currently sits well above the 2010 baseline, so there is clearly a functioning market for older Japanese homes. What matters is being in the part of Japan where that liquidity reaches the property we are considering.
| Location type | How cheap can the akiya look? | Resale outlook | Rental potential | Our view |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remote shrinking village | Extremely cheap | Weak | Usually weak | Mostly lifestyle |
| Edge of a regional city | Cheap | Reasonable | Reasonable | Often interesting |
| Established tourism area | Less spectacular discount | Better | Potentially strong | One of the best setups |
| Large-city commuter belt | Higher entry price | Stronger | Stronger | Safer, fewer headline bargains |
| Area receiving major investment | Varies | Can improve quickly | Can improve quickly | Worth digging into |
Who should actually buy a cheap Japanese akiya?
Cheap Japanese akiya make the most sense for people who can get more personal or commercial use from the house than the local market currently values.
That can describe someone who genuinely wants to live in rural Japan, particularly if they plan to stay for years and care more about space, land and character than resale appreciation.
A skilled renovator can also have an advantage because they can identify which ugly houses are straightforward projects and which beautiful houses hide serious structural costs.
Hospitality operators can make akiya work when they start with proven tourism demand and then find an unusually cheap property inside that market.
The fit gets much weaker for buyers seeking a passive foreign investment, an effortless Airbnb or quick capital appreciation.
For a lifestyle buyer, the market needs to satisfy one person: the owner.
An investor needs other people to keep choosing the property too. Tenants, tourists, lenders and eventually another buyer all become part of the equation.
That is a much harder test.

Better information leads to better decisions. Get all the data you need before investing a large amount of money.
Which cheap akiya would we reject immediately?
We would walk away when several hard-to-fix problems appear in the same property, especially weak location, poor access and serious structural uncertainty.
One major problem can create an opportunity if the price compensates us for fixing it.
A bad roof in a good town can be repaired. An ugly interior near a station can be renovated. Even a structurally difficult kominka can make sense when the building and location are genuinely special.
The dangerous properties combine weaknesses.
Imagine a pre-1981 house in a rapidly shrinking village with no real tourism market, narrow access, uncertain boundaries, a failing retaining wall and extensive termite damage. Add an overseas owner who will visit twice a year.
There are simply too many ways for that project to go wrong.
We would be especially cautious whenever the main problem cannot be fixed with money. Kitchens, bathrooms, roofs, wiring and insulation can all be replaced. A disappearing buyer pool, poor road access and a two-hour drive to meaningful employment are much harder to change.
The cheaper the house gets, the more disciplined we would become about those permanent flaws.
So, are Japan’s cheap akiya actually worth buying?
Yes, some Japanese akiya are exceptional bargains today, but buying purely because the house costs ¥1 million or less is usually the wrong strategy.
The strongest evidence points to a market with two very different stories happening at once.
Japan really does have record vacant housing. Around 9 million homes are empty, and roughly 3.85 million sit in the category closest to genuinely unused akiya. Demographic pressure means that supply problem is unlikely to disappear soon.
At the same time, old housing has become more tradable than the stereotypes suggest. The latest MLIT existing-home sales index is around 25% above its 2010 baseline overall, with detached homes at a similar level. Japan is also cleaning up inheritance records, encouraging vacant-home transactions and giving municipalities stronger tools to deal with neglected buildings.
That makes good akiya easier to imagine as real housing rather than disposable structures.
It does very little for the worst locations.
After renovation, a ¥1 million akiya that gives us a comfortable ¥6 million home near jobs, services or a destination people actually visit can be extraordinary value. The same ¥1 million spent on a remote house requiring ¥12 million of work and offering almost no resale market can trap us in an asset that nobody else wants.
For investors, we would start with the town and work inward. Population, jobs, tourism, transport, tenant demand and land value should narrow the map before we ever open an akiya listing.
For lifestyle buyers, the answer is more generous. Someone planning to use the house for many years can rationally buy a property that would make little sense to a conventional investor. Japan still offers old detached homes, gardens and traditional architecture at prices that are difficult to replicate in many rich countries.
So yes, cheap akiya can be worth buying. The genuine bargains are the houses where Japan has discounted the building more aggressively than we discount living there.

OUR METHODOLOGY
This analysis tests whether Japan’s cheap akiya are genuinely worth buying by separating the headline vacancy story from the things that actually determine a buyer’s outcome: total project cost, building condition, seismic risk, local demand, resale liquidity, financing, rental potential, tourism use, land quality, demographic pressure and ownership obligations.
We treated Japan’s 9 million vacant-home figure as a starting point rather than an investable-supply estimate. The 2023 Housing and Land Survey from the Statistics Bureau of Japan was used to separate empty rentals, homes already for sale, second homes and the roughly 3.85 million properties in the category closest to genuinely unused akiya.
Purchase price and project cost were kept separate. The all-in-cost and rental-yield examples in the article are scenario tests, not national averages. They are there to show how quickly renovation, acquisition costs, vacancy and operating expenses can change the economics of an apparently cheap house.
For structural risk, we used MLIT guidance on existing-home inspections and the government’s treatment of older wooden housing. The 1981 seismic-standard change is used as an important first filter, while homes built between 1981 and 2000 are still treated carefully because later government work identified vulnerabilities in some wooden houses from that period.
For resale, we prioritized observed transaction data over asking prices. MLIT’s Existing Home Sales Volume Index is the main market-level reference because it measures actual transaction activity and shows that existing-home sales, including detached houses, remain well above the 2010 baseline.
Foreign ownership, residence rights and financing were assessed separately. Ministry of Justice and Immigration Services Agency materials support the distinction between owning Japanese real estate and having the legal right to reside in Japan, while Japan Housing Finance Agency criteria and lender rules help show why very old or difficult properties can remain hard to finance.
For Airbnb and minpaku economics, we used Japan Tourism Agency guidance on the Private Lodging Business Act and the Inns and Hotels Act. The national 180-night ceiling, local restrictions and absent-owner management requirements are treated as operating constraints rather than footnotes because they directly affect how much revenue a property can realistically generate.
Demographic risk was assessed with the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research’s long-run population projections and current Statistics Bureau migration data. We did not apply national decline mechanically to every location: regional cities, major tourism areas and places receiving new industrial investment can behave very differently from small municipalities with shrinking employment and services.
We also incorporated the changing vacant-house policy environment. Ministry of Justice rules on inheritance, address and name-change registration, together with MLIT’s vacant-house framework, matter because they are making indefinite neglect harder and can increase the carrying cost of owning a property without a plan.
Key sources include the Statistics Bureau of Japan’s 2023 Housing and Land Survey, the final 2023 Housing and Land Survey summary, MLIT’s Existing Home Sales Volume Index, the latest MLIT existing-home sales release, MLIT’s special brokerage-fee rules for low-value vacant properties, MLIT’s seismic evaluation guidance for wooden homes, the Ministry of Justice’s inheritance-registration guidance, mandatory address and name-change registration guidance, the Japan Tourism Agency’s Private Lodging Business Act guidance, the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research population projections, and the Statistics Bureau’s 2025 Internal Migration Report.
