That’s lowkey dope.
There is a catch. Since Japan has so many earthquakes, the older a house is the more useless it is. Each of the big earthquakes that happen every 5-10 years periodically attacks the foundation of the house.. So a house will naturally depreciate because of safety. So older houses are treated like beater cars for being unreliable.Not necessarily. I live here and you can get a home on the outskirts of Tokyo for $60-80k.
Here's a 100k one in Chiba, which is close to Tokyo.

So the house you just posted is a piece of trash. When they are typically renovate houses in Japan, they don't lift the house up or do anything about the foundation, they just redo kitchens or bathrooms like we do in the west.
So while it may look like a good house, the next time there is a 7.8 earthquake that 1984 house might be falling on your head because you decided to be cheap. Additionally the safety standards of earthquake building are updated every decade or so based on the most recent science.
Even worse, there are laws in Japan that dictate once your foundation is damaged by a earthquake, it is the owner's responsibility to demolish the property which can cost more than the house is worth. That's why a bunch of houses are also abandoned because they don't want to take the liability of having to destroy the house. So when you go in there and think you've got a good deal the local city government sends an inspector to your house telling you you now have to spend $100,000 to demolish the house.

reading the responses in this thread you can tell a lot of people here are really not on anything for real. They kill any chance at anything new, or adventurous. They are comfortable in their mediocrity. Their circumstance. Submitting to the cards dealt to them.
That’s why I don’t put people on, they gotta meet me where I’m at.

Man I wanna move there but I don’t want to teach English to some damn kids
There are other ways. For example, did you know that You can buy access to America by paying $800,000 to start a business? but the Japanese equivalent is much much much much much much much cheaper. It's called the investor visa.
It's only 35k . any working adult with real career experience in America should be able to have that saved. In previous years, they required you to employ two Japanese citizens. But after COVID they revised the rules to where you don't have to employ anybody.
The only catch, is that your business must make money from Japan. You can't be a digital nomad making money from an American company . But this is actually pretty good for various professionals in accounting, tourism/hospitality, sciences/engineering, etc who can do consulting. And The icing on top of the cake is that your business doesn't have to be profitable for the first two years. But if you manage to get it profitable by the 3rd and maintain it until the 5th year, you get access to living in Japan indefinitely, then you can liquidate your investments and be free .
Another option I've seen a bunch of people use is just transferring to the Japanese division of an American company. This works extremely well for finance and tech, because you can find Goldman Sachs or Google offices in the center of Tokyo.
Your goal is residence, not citizenship. Simply being a productive member of society is enough to get residence.
It's a lot like Canada with a points system where if you are a particularly productive human you can get permanent residence in one or 2 years. A moderately productive human being can get it in 5 years.
They're also temporary residence statuses such as when you get employed by an American firm within Japan, or when you come in as an investor.

Rural Japan is incredible.
What do you mean? Are you saying as a grown man you don't have 35K saved?
I'd understand if you were a college kid straight out of school, but the average age of posters on this board is mid-30s to mid 40s. Most people in that age range are deep into a career. There really isn't an excuse unless you're just coming out of a prison bid or disabled.
Also, keep in mind you're trying to enter a different country's economy. So the economic conditions of starting your 35k business in Japan are not the same business conditions you'd be starting in the US with a madman in the White House.

I got concepts of a plan.
50% of Americans have less than $500 in savings according to report in January this year. 60% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings. Sometimes that number is quoted as 70%.
