Can you really buy a house in Japan for under $30,000?

Yes. Many rural akiya (vacant houses) in Japan are listed for under $30,000 USD, sometimes even free. These properties are typically in countryside areas and may need renovation.

What's the catch with cheap akiya?

Most cheap akiya are in rural areas with limited public transport. Some may need significant renovation. Always inspect the property and understand local regulations before purchasing.
