Former Shimojima-cho - ¥4,800,000

Strong price-to-location value in a city setting with recent renovations and excellent walkability. Photos show a well-maintained, clean property with traditional Japanese charm in decent condition. The renovation work and proximity to urban amenities boost appeal, though the small lot size and modest floor area limit the 'wow factor' for the English-speaking akiya audience.

Photos reveal a compact but well-preserved 1970s townhouse with a mix of traditional tatami rooms and modern renovated spaces. The property is visibly clean and bright with recent updates (new flooring, fresh paint). Standout shots include the spacious tatami rooms with good natural light and the recently updated bathroom/modern areas. Photo quality is clear and professional.

Urban charm at rural prices: this renovated Niigata townhouse combines affordable living with convenient city access—all for under $32,000, with recent updates already complete.

Very small lot (64 sqm) and building footprint (62 sqm)—tight for Western standards. Limited parking and outdoor space. Built 1971 with potential future structural concerns. No information on remaining loan period or seller motivation. Proximity to station not specified, which is unusual for urban listings.
