AS-IS 2LDK Akiya Near Kawaguchiko Station — Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi
Claim a 544 sqm Mt. Fuji-region foothold for just ¥5,900,000 (about $39,465).
This 1980-built 2LDK sits in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, on a generous 544 sqm plot with a 65.41 sqm building footprint. Sold strictly as-is, it requires a full gut renovation, so factor the rebuild into your budget before you bid. The location is the draw: Kawaguchiko Station is the nearest rail hub, and Tokyo's Shinjuku terminal is roughly 150 minutes away, putting this Mt. Fuji-region base within reach of inbound travelers. Across the surrounding area, 471 short-term-rental listings posted an average daily rate of $241 and 49.8% occupancy, for about $41,581 in average annual revenue (AirROI 2025–2026). Those are area-wide benchmarks, not this home's earnings—your returns depend on your renovation, licensing, and operation. A blank canvas for a hands-on STR investor.
