A Rare Find in Coastal Shizuoka (Sold)

This property has now sold, but it remains a strong example of what’s possible in this market.

Spacious Home Just 6 Minutes – All for ¥8M?

Just a 6-minute stroll from Kawana Station in Ito City, Shizuoka, this spacious two-story home is listed for only ¥8 million (~$55,000 USD). Yes, you read that right.

With 4SLDK layout, 111㎡ of living space, and a massive 422㎡ lot, this is the kind of property that makes you pause, and then seriously consider packing your bags.

It’s tucked in a residential pocket of one of Japan’s most scenic coastal towns, with convenient access to grocery stores, a post office, and even Nitori just a short walk away. Whether you’re envisioning a full-time move, a family vacation base, or an income-generating guesthouse, this place offers flexibility at a price point that’s hard to beat.

Why It Stands Out

✅ Livable Layout, Classic Charm
Built in 1971, the home still retains a solid structure and functional layout. You’ll find a mix of Western and Japanese-style rooms, two toilets (both squat and Western-style), and a spacious living-dining area that flows into a large tatami room, perfect for hosting guests or just unwinding in traditional comfort.

🌿 Huge Backyard Potential
With ample green space in the back, there’s plenty of room for gardening, a dog run, or a weekend BBQ with friends. It’s already well-maintained and ready to be transformed into your own outdoor haven.

🚉 Easy Access
Located just two stations from the Izu Kyuko Line, this home is well-positioned for day trips to Atami, Ito’s famous hot springs, and even Tokyo if you're up for a longer ride. Plus, being walking distance from the station makes it practical for both daily living and short-term stays.

🛠️ Light Renovation Scope
The kitchen and bathroom are a bit dated but entirely usable. For buyers looking to modernize on a budget, this is the kind of house where cosmetic updates can go a long way without breaking the bank.
