    "markdown": "**This property has now sold**, but it remains a strong example of what’s possible in this market.\n\n---\n\n## **Spacious Home Just 6 Minutes – All for ¥8M?**\n\nJust 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.\n\n![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHeExwuMmOpiA01sYcjezXdnB7tqbU3JGTRkxWr)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.\n\n![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHedbRI57P2t1YPezvVq78ugT96cAn3Zbxh5CHG)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.\n\n---\n\n### **💰 Full Cost Breakdown: What You’ll Actually Spend**\n\nBuying a property in Japan involves more than just the listing price. This snapshot from our calculator gives you a clearer picture of the total estimated budget, including taxes, fees, and other recurring costs so you can plan with confidence. \n\n***(Prices as of May 2025)***\n\n![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHexSiKcrCoHvgJZzC3BG7U15PmWMlKb8qhAtyc)### Why It Stands Out\n\n**✅ Livable Layout, Classic Charm**\\\nBuilt 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.\n\n**🌿 Huge Backyard Potential**\\\nWith 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.\n\n**🚉 Easy Access**\\\nLocated 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.\n\n**🛠️ Light Renovation Scope**\\\nThe 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.\n\n### **🐾 Dream Big on a Budget -** *This is ALMOST turn-key home*\n\n### **🤯 Total Dream Home Price on the Coast:** **Around $64K USD!!** **🤯**\n\n---\n\n## **Property Overview**\n\n![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHejJusWLGvcteWNLkp1qg56TnOI3xhraH7VZFu)\n\n---\n\n## **Property Layout & Photos**\n\n![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHeJnbUvc5NgL3Knr6WvUlZFx2sSVqud7tGTI18)![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHe1QW9n236ytCgNl0OXIJvsbUpoF8DxdZzuiVa)\n\n---\n\n### **Would You Live Here or Turn It Into a Coastal Getaway?**\n\nThat’s the question. With a spacious layout, a huge backyard, and walkable access to the train station, this Ito City home punches above its price tag. It's proof that you *can* own a well-located home in Japan without giving up comfort, charm, or convenience.\n\n[youtube]\n\n---\n\n### **If this is the kind of home you’re looking for, here’s where to start.**\n\n- 👉[ How to Find Your Dream Property in Japan](https://akiyahub.com/articles/how-to-find-your-dream-property-in-japan): Learn how to explore regions, compare value, and confidently discover standout homes using AkiyaHub’s most powerful search approach.\n- 👉[Join the AkiyaHub community](https://akiyahub.com/jointhecommunity): Learn from real buyers, ask questions freely, and move forward with confidence as you explore owning a home in Japan.",
