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

## **🚃 Just $82K for a Renovated Tokyo-Area Home!** 

Looking for a clean, move-in ready house near Tokyo… with parking, a garden, and a garage—all for less than $85K USD?

This might be the one.

![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHe3mwoEWG4XQnteUspIM5rvbmji0f8RyFJN9CG)Tucked in Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture, this two-story wooden home was built in 1981 but has seen some modern updates. Located just a 6-minute walk from Kazusa-Kiyokawa Station (JR Kururi Line), it offers an easy commute to Tokyo while delivering a quiet, livable residential vibe.

This isn’t your average akiya.\
Step inside and you’ll find a modernized wet area: vanity, laundry, and bath -- all in great shape. The entrance is tiled, giving a solid first impression. A fresh tatami room connects to an engawa-style hallway that opens up to the backyard. It’s the kind of layout that gives you a real sense of calm.

The kitchen, dining, and living area in the rear of the house offer a functional flow, perfect for both small families or future tenants. Upstairs? A second toilet, another tatami room with balcony access, and a Western-style bedroom overlooking the neighborhood.

Whether you're seeking a weekend retreat, primary residence, or a Tokyo-adjacent rental with income potential, this property has versatility baked in.

### 📈 Investment Potential

Kisarazu has been one of the more quietly competitive areas in greater Chiba over the last few years. Land values here have been climbing year-over-year, fueled by easy access to Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line and inbound investment. The ¥11.8M price tag is remarkably close to the land value alone, which means you're getting the house almost for free.

### 🌊 Area Vibe

Kisarazu’s Kiyokawa 1-chome blends suburban calm with Tokyo access. You’re close to shops, local eats, and just a short ride from the waterfront. Unlike many rural properties, this one strikes a balance between space and connectivity, ideal for either long-term living or rental appeal.

### **🤯 Total Dream Home:** **Less than $100K USD!!** **🤯**

### 🚃 Would You Live Here or Rent It Out?

A garage. Tatami rooms. A walkable station. And all for around $82K USD?\
This property hits a sweet spot rarely found in the Tokyo sphere.
