My husband and I are retired and considering buying a house in Japan to live in part time and for our family to use on trips. We love the beauty of the Ito area, but it's interesting that there are so many affordable houses there. It seems to be a resort area, so I would think people would snap up the affordable homes there.
I know that used houses are less desirable, but if I were a stressed out business person in Tokyo I would love having a little getaway closer to nature.
I see info about landslide areas where many of the houses are on hillsides. Are they going to slide into the sea? What do the sellers know that we don't know?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and info.
