Akiya House in Kurate (1983) 🏠 at $10,600 (Fukuoka) 2025
This government-built tract home is situated in a quiet, rural area on the outskirts of Miyawaka City. It’s a compact unit with shared parking and a garden space. Due to its remote location, transportation is necessary for daily chores. Originally built in the early 1980s to support low-income families, the home has a modest charm—and the price remains quite affordable.
