Please note, we are here to help you, but we are not real estate agents and may not have all financial information in regards to properties. Thank you for understanding! Owner's Notes: This property was used until 2022. A family lived in the house, but they moved away and it is now vacant. The building was constructed in 1970 and expanded in 1979 and 1995. There was a leak around 2021 and it was repaired. We use city gas, but our water heater broke so we discarded it. It was damaged in the Chuetsu earthquake in 2004, and the interior wallpaper remains torn. 1st floor: 6 tatami mats x 2, 8 tatami mats x 1, DK, bathroom, toilet 2nd floor: 6 tatami mats x 3, 8 tatami mats x 1 There is one parking space. The house is adjacent to a city road, so a snowplow comes in the winter, but the roof needs to be cleared of snow about twice a year. The furniture inside the building remains as it is. The soul has been removed from the Buddhist altar and a memorial service has been held, so I think we will move it out. Other than that I would like to leave it as is. There are some messy rooms on the second floor, but we would like to leave them as they are. We are looking for someone who is aware of the above and can take over the property as is.

Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture | A 7-minute walk from Miyako Station on the JR Sanriku Railway Rias Line, close to the station, and a lodging facility that underwent major renovations in December 2014, with free parking Owner's Notes: I purchased this property because I was interested in a shared house. There are 9 rooms on the second floor in Building 1 and 7 rooms in Building 2. The buildings are three-story wooden structures, but the third floor is currently closed after a warning for violating the Building Standards Act and corrections were made around 2015. Ventilation is performed regularly. The property is located about a 7-minute walk from Miyako Station. It underwent major repairs in December 2014, but some parts remain from the time of construction. There are 3 parking spaces on the premises. A separate septic tank is used. In 2016, the basement level was flooded due to the rise in water levels caused by Typhoon No. 10. Also, there is an open semi-basement space in Building 1, where groundwater tends to accumulate. The water pipes running above the storage room on the first floor have frozen and leaked, causing the ceiling to collapse. About Miyako City: ・This is the starting station of the Sanriku Railway bound for Kuji, which became famous in the drama "Amachan". ・The scenic spot covered with white rocks, Jodogahama Beach, which is also designated as a national scenic spot, is famous. ・You can enjoy seafood all year round, including sea urchins, hairy crabs, Pacific cod, wakame seaweed, abalone, and pacific saury. We would like to donate it to someone who can find a way to utilize it in a way that will benefit the people of Miyako. We are looking for someone who is aware of the above and can take over the property as is.

The location is close to the town center of Furen, with a convenience store 200m away, a supermarket 400m away, and a JR station 600m away, so it's not badly located.

Please note, there were no interior photos of the property provided, however, we'd recommend reaching out to the real estate agency for more information or to schedule a tour of the home. Owner's Notes: This is a property that I inherited from my father and that has been vacant for nearly 40 years. It is about a 15-minute walk from Toyono Station, and the site is spacious and surrounded by greenery in a tranquil location. I would like to sell it together with the adjacent forest. Both the main house and the annex are quite old and in need of repair. Because the property is in an urbanization control area, it is primarily intended for residential use (residential land before line drawing, setback required). Please check with the City Hall Building Inspection Division regarding restrictions on renovations and whether or not rebuilding is possible. There is no sewer system. Most of the remaining debris has been removed, but some remains. There is a lot of bamboo on the premises. Please check the hazard map yourself. There used to be a private ancestral graveyard behind the house, but it has since been relocated and the land use has been changed to forest. The adjacent farmland can only be sold to farmers who live near Nagano City, so this time we are selling something other than farmland (if you live there, you can rent it out for your home vegetable garden). The property will be handed over in its current condition, so please include your plans for using the land when contacting us. *Sales are limited to individuals only.

Located just 10 minutes by car from JR Obama Line’s “Ohama Station,” this unique property in Obama City offers a farm work hut and 26 parcels of agricultural land, completely free of charge. The land is conveniently situated near roadside stations, making it easily accessible for agricultural use. One of the fields is part of a family inheritance, while most of the land is currently designated for farming, including rice, buckwheat, and barley. The rice fields were leased to a local farmer until March 2020, but the transfer of the land can be arranged, allowing the new owner to reclaim its full use. The property also includes a tangerine field, and minimal fees such as a water conservancy levy (960 yen per year) apply. Annual land improvement fees are associated with the Nankawa Drainage Association (23,400 yen) and Imatomiozaki (25,470 yen), currently covered by the farmer working the fields. In addition, part of the land is equipped with cable TV facilities, generating a modest annual income of 3,460 yen. This vast farmland and its facilities provide an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in managing agricultural land or seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle. As I live far away and can no longer maintain the property, I’m looking for someone who can manage and make use of this charming rural retreat. Full details of the address and on-site visit can be arranged for interested parties.

A 6-minute drive from the Tohoku Expressway "Nihonmatsu IC", a house located in front of a municipal elementary school surrounded by a tranquil rural landscape. Owner's Notes: The property was inherited from my father. This house was built in 1936 by my grandfather, who was an elementary school principal during the Taisho era, on land he acquired from villagers. My grandmother later purchased the land surrounding the house and built a nursery school next to it in 1977. It is currently owned by my sister and is vacant. My aunt and neighbors who live locally help me mow the grass around my house and take care of the garden. In addition, the registration of some of the land (230.18 m2) had not been transferred and was left untouched, so my grandmother transferred the registration. However, one of the owners had already passed away, and one of the relatives who had inherited the land was no longer known. Therefore, 2/78 of the land on which the house is built is common land. We are looking for someone who is willing to take over after understanding the above. Fixed asset tax assessment: 4,174,934 yen (land) 154,700 yen (building) Annual fixed asset tax: 26,200 yen Other Notes: Here at Old Houses Japan, we try our best to include as mush information as possible with the "free" homes, however, we cannot always give you a full price estimate when it comes to the "free" akiya.

Kakuda City, Miyagi Prefecture | 4 minutes by car from Kakuda Station on the Abukuma Express Line, 3 houses and land plots near Kakuda Driving School with a tranquil rural landscape are available for 0 yen Owner's Notes: This property was acquired through inheritance. It is 65 years old and has a 5DK layout. The interior has been tidied up as much as possible. Some parts of the floor have fallen out. The road is narrow, and only a small car can pass through. The land cannot be rebuilt, so it was difficult to find a buyer. It is expected that renovations and other expenses will be required to utilize the land. I would like to give it to someone who understands this. <About the field> The other day, I inquired with the Agricultural Commission whether it was okay to sell or transfer the land as farmland. This place is considered farmland adjacent to a residence, and due to a change in the law, even individuals who are not farmers can now sell or transfer farmland adjacent to their residence without changing the land use if they plan to use it as a field (such as a home vegetable garden). However, in this case, it is limited to sales and transfers between individuals, and if the other party is an individual and intends to use it for business purposes, including residential land, permission may not be granted. The hotel is located close to the center of Kakuda city, and the Kakuda Roadside Station is nearby. We are looking for someone who is aware of the above and can take over the property as is.

Asakuchi City, Okayama Prefecture | 5 minutes by car from the Kamogata IC on the Sanyo Expressway, Asakuchi City, which has one of the largest astronomical observatories in Japan, offers a house and forest for free. Owner's Notes: The property was inherited from my grandmother. There are almost no items left inside the house, but there are wooden boards and other items under the floorboards and around the house. There is a vacuum cleaner and an air conditioner, but I don't know if they work. I wouldn't say the toilet or bathroom is clean. There is electricity and running water, but I don't actually use them. I think it could be used as a storage space, but if you want to live in it, I think it would need some repairs and maintenance. There is space to park a car, but the road is not wide, so it will be difficult to enter and exit unless you have a light or compact car. Also, because of the width of the road, I think it is basically impossible to rebuild, but I am not an expert so I do not know the details. We try to keep the area from becoming overgrown by mowing the grass and laying down weed-proof sheets every 1-2 months, but because it's far away we can't do this satisfactorily. There is also a forest adjacent to the west side of the housing lot. It is overgrown with trees and bamboo, and the steep slope means it is not possible to enter the land, so its current condition is unknown. Grass, trees, and bamboo growing on the residential side are cut every one to two months. Both the residential areas and the forests are well-lit from morning until midday, which makes them ideal for home gardens, farms, or solar power generation. Next door is a vacant house and a vacant lot. It's about a 5-minute drive from Kamogata Interchange on the Sanyo Expressway, so if you have a car it should be fairly easy to access. There is a pole with a supporting wire on the land, and we receive a small amount of land rent from the electric company every year. Once the procedures for changing the ownership of the real estate and the transfer of ownership of the unregistered building to the city hall are completed, we will promptly change the ownership of our property as well. I would like to transfer both the residential land and the forest land. I will not be held responsible for any problems, malfunctions, or troubles that may occur after the transfer. We are looking for someone who is willing to take over after understanding the above.
