Hakone 5DK, 97.7 sqm — ¥16M As-Is Renovation Project
A 97.7 sqm 5DK house in Hakone at ¥16,000,000 (approx. $97,680), sold as-is with partial renovation required.
Hakone is one of Japan's best-known hot-spring destinations, and this 1991-built 5DK sits inside that market. The house offers 97.7 sqm of floor area on 81.6 sqm of land — five rooms plus a dining-kitchen, enough to configure a family-sized short-term rental. Hakone-Yumoto Station serves as the area's gateway, and Shinjuku is roughly 100 minutes away, placing the property within reach of Tokyo's inbound traffic. Across 323 tracked listings in the Hakone area, the average daily rate is $291 at 46% occupancy, for area-average annual revenue of about $45,698 (AirROI 2025–2026). Those are area-level averages, not this property's actual or projected income. The house is sold as-is and requires partial renovation, which the buyer must budget for separately.
Minpaku (short-term rental) status not confirmed. Verify with the municipal office and your agent before completing purchase. STR operation may be restricted to 180 days/yr or prohibited.
