Inaka Properties

Akiya - vacant rural houses - across Japan, mostly outside the tourist circuit, listed by people who know the houses, not by the big agencies. Old machiya in Hokuriku, schoolteachers' cottages in Iya, post-war farmhouses with too much land. We don't pretend the prices are bargains because they're free. Most of these need work. Read each listing, talk to the owner, and bring a builder to the viewing.
