Akiya in 下関市, Yamaguchi
$15,770⚖️ Court auction
¥2,492,000 · minimum bid (売却基準価額) · Built 1988 (38 yrs)

⚖️ This is a court foreclosure auction — not a normal sale.

The headline figure is the court's minimum bid (売却基準価額), not an asking price. Buying at auction means paying a deposit (~20%) up front, bidding during a fixed window, often being unable to inspect inside, and sometimes inheriting existing occupants. Read the court's 3-point set (三点セット) before bidding.

Investment snapshot

An indicative long-term rental estimate — to compare listings, not an appraisal.

Gross yield (post-reno)

⚠ At this price the property almost certainly needs major renovation before it can rent — the yield above already folds in an estimated renovation budget. The raw price-only yield would look far higher but isn't achievable until that work is done.

Basis: 104.9m² × ¥950/m²/mo × 0.7 age factor (Yamaguchi) + ¥8M est. renovation. Gross yield = annual rent ÷ (price + est. renovation), before tax, vacancy, and management. Regional rent rates are conservative order-of-magnitude medians (public rent surveys), not a guarantee — rural demand can be thin. Always validate locally before relying on any figure.

Hazard & due diligence

Japan has real flood, landslide, and earthquake exposure that varies street by street. Check the official government hazard maps for this exact location before buying.
