Case aproape gratis în Japonia: unele costă mai puțin de un euro. Ce trebuie să știi înainte să cumperi

Japan faces a housing crisis with around 9 million vacant homes, some selling for just one yen. However, renovation and maintenance costs can be significantly higher than the purchase price. The issue stems from depopulation and urban migration, with many rural homes abandoned. Young people prefer city living, leading to a demographic decline. Foreigners can buy properties but do not automatically gain residency rights. Authorities are concerned about the deterioration of these homes, prompting initiatives like 'akiya banks' and taxes on unused properties.
