Sekihara Town 3 - ¥3.8 Million

The price is reasonable for the land size and location near a train station, but the photos reveal a property in significant disrepair with dated/worn interiors, aging bathroom fixtures, and minimal curb appeal. The exterior shot is decent, but interior photos are uninspiring and suggest heavy renovation needs that would be daunting for most viewers.

The exterior photo shows a 1960s two-story house with traditional Japanese styling—solid bones but tired appearance, discolored siding, and worn roof detailing. Interior photos reveal dim, cramped rooms with peeling walls, mismatched flooring, a vintage mint-green bathtub, and overall dated/neglected conditions. Photo quality is mediocre (some are poorly lit), which works against rather than for the listing.

Affordable Niigata property with 1,000+ tsubo land near train station—major renovation project with strong bones and surprising potential.

Significant structural wear, dated utilities (old bathtub, aged wiring visible), dim/poorly lit interiors suggest moisture/mold risk, photos lack professionalism and don't inspire confidence, property appears to have been neglected for years, renovation budget would likely exceed purchase price
