Fujikawaguchiko 2LDK Akiya — ¥6.7M As-Is Full-Renovation Project
A 1980-built 2LDK on 193 sqm of land in Fujikawaguchiko, offered as-is at ¥6,700,000 (about $44,816).
This 42.4 sqm 2LDK sits on 193 sqm of land in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, with Kawaguchiko Station as the nearest station and Shinjuku roughly 150 minutes away. Built in 1980, it is sold strictly as-is and requires a full gut renovation, which the buyer must budget for on top of the ¥6,700,000 (about $44,816) purchase price. The appeal here is entry price and land: a 193 sqm plot in an established short-term-rental market, bought cheaply enough to leave room to design the interior around guests. Across that wider market, AirROI 2025–2026 data covering 471 listings shows an area-average daily rate of $241, average occupancy of 49.8%, and average annual revenue of $41,581. Those figures are area-level benchmarks only. This house produces no income today and cannot be let until the renovation is finished.
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.

Built in 1980, the building predates Japan's 1981 seismic code revision and meets only the pre-1981 standard, so a structural assessment and any seismic retrofit should be priced in before purchase. It carries a condition grade of D and is sold as-is, with a full gut renovation of the 42.4 sqm interior still to be done.
Renovation estimate: ¥5.0M – ¥15.0M
