A 6-bedroom red-roofed home in Otaru, Hokkaido for just $13,333 — with enough space to live in and run a guesthouse at the same time. Otaru is one of Japan's most visited cities, and short-term rental demand is only growing. Full details at the link in bio.

Why we picked this

Turn-key minibusiness opportunity: Buy this red-roofed Hokkaido home for ¥2M, keep living upstairs, and run a guesthouse downstairs—a profitable second income in Japan's booming tourism market.

What the photos show

The property photos are well-lit and professional, showing a distinctive two-tone exterior with the iconic red roof, spacious tatami rooms with natural light, wooden interiors with character, and even a renovated blue-floored modern room. The photos demonstrate the home is structurally sound and livable now, with strong visual appeal for the 'charming old Japan' aesthetic. No visible structural damage or serious deterioration.
