Akiya in 水俣市, Kumamoto
$216,794⚖️ Court auction
¥35,060,000 · minimum bid (売却基準価額) · Built 1984 (42 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.

Est. monthly rent
¥76,000
≈ $470/mo
Est. annual rent
¥912,000
≈ $5,639/yr
Gross yield
2.6%
modest

Basis: ≤120m² × ¥1050/m²/mo × 0.6 age factor (Kumamoto). Gross yield = annual rent ÷ (price), 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.
