Rishiri, Hokkaido
They’re Giving Away This $0K House in Japan by the Sea, with only $150/Year in Taxes !😧
Located in Hokkaido, just across the street from the sea, this two-story home is being transferred for 0 yen. Just 29 minutes by car from Rishiri Airport and close to Japan’s northernmost national park, this property sits in one of the most untouched natural environments in the country 🌲❄️.
The house has been vacant since August 2024 and comes with remaining household goods inside. The layout includes an 8-tatami living room on the first floor plus 3 additional Japanese-style rooms, and 4 more Japanese-style rooms upstairs, giving you a total of 7 bedrooms. Electricity, gas, and water are already connected, the toilet is flush, and the bath runs on kerosene. It is ready for immediate occupancy.
Outside, the property includes a field and a barn, making it ideal for someone dreaming of self-sufficient rural living or a northern Japan escape 🌾.
Annual fixed asset tax is about $150 USD per year.
The government’s assessed building value is around $9,000 USD, but that is only for tax calculation. So even though the house is free, you pay just about $150 per year in property tax.
