A five-bedroom house on 674 sqm of land in the Oita countryside for under $7,000 — this is what akiya hunting looks like when it works. Forested hills, multiple outbuildings, and enough space to build a completely different life.
Why we picked this
¥990,000 for a 5-bedroom house on sacred temple grounds surrounded by forests—this Japanese countryside gem proves you don't need to compromise on history, space, or aesthetics when buying affordable rural real estate.
What the photos show
Photos are bright, well-composed, and show a clean, maintained property with traditional Japanese architectural character. The building appears structurally sound with attractive rooflines and siding. The surrounding landscape—forested hills, clear skies, manicured grounds—creates strong visual appeal. No visible mold, decay, or grime; this reads as 'charmingly rustic' rather than neglected.
