Shiratori Dai 4 (Near Sakimori Station) - ¥1,950,000

Good price-to-space ratio (¥1.95M for 4LDK + 270sqm land is compelling) and the photos show a relatively clean, habitable property with decent natural light and organized rooms. However, the photos are somewhat dated and lack the visual 'pop' that stops scrolls—they're functional documentation rather than aspirational. The 1977 build year and repair uncertainties add some friction to the narrative.

Photos are clean and well-lit but utilitarian. The bathroom shows acceptable condition with white fixtures and tile detailing. Floor plans are clear. Exterior winter photo shows a modest but intact structure with snowy surroundings—atmospheric but not dramatic. Interior shots are bright and clutter-free, which is a major plus. No visible mold, heavy water damage, or grime. The photos suggest a lived-in, functional property rather than a picturesque or dramatically renovated space.

Four bedrooms, an 82-tsubo lot, and parking for two cars in Hokkaido for under $14,000—this spacious family home near Muroran has serious potential for anyone ready to breathe new life into a 1970s gem.

Year 1977 means building systems (heating, plumbing, electrical) likely need upgrade in a Hokkaido winter climate. Boundary lines unconfirmed and neighbor encroachments may not be resolvable. Equipment uninspe cted—repair/replacement costs unknown. 30 min to nearest station (Sakimori) suggests car dependency. No detailed inspection report provided. Budget for significant renovation before move-in.
