Welcome Back Dreamers!

Welcome to Japan Dream Houses – the newsletter that dares to ask: why rent a 1LDK in Tokyo when you can own a mountain, a forest, or possibly a small farm - often for the price of a new iPhone?

This week we’ve got Kozy corners in Kyoto, steamy Beppu bathtubs, sunsets that slap in Yamaguchi, and - brace yourself - a $2,400 home in Fukuoka that proves dreams don’t have to be expensive, just brave enough to wield a paintbrush.

Whether you’re hunting for a side hustle hideaway, a DIY dojo, or your forever kominka, we’ve scoured the nation like a house-obsessed Pokémon trainer to bring you the rarest, quirkiest, and most potential-packed properties out there.

So pour a cup of hojicha, scroll with purpose, and let’s get cozy with this week’s homes. Who knows? Your next chapter might just start with a single click and an awkward phone call in Japanese. Let’s dive in.
