An Exceptional Investment Opportunity in the Heart of Japan’s Art & Golf Sanctuary
We are delighted to present this expansive, traditional Japanese residence located in the serene Ōgoto district of Kasama City. Priced at just $20,714 (based on 2,900,000 JPY at 1 USD = 140) (Additional notary, processing, documentation, and tax expenses are estimated at approximately USD 10,000), this property represents not merely a purchase, but an entry point into a lifestyle of tranquility and high-yield potential.
Psychologically, this home appeals to the investor seeking stability and the dreamer seeking a retreat. With a remarkable projected gross yield of 18.62%, it stands as a fortress against inflation and a beacon of passive income. The residence itself is a spacious 100 m² (1,078 ft²) single-story wooden structure, offering the coveted accessibility of barrier-free living. It sits on a generous 537 m² (5,775 ft²) plot, featuring a lush, sun-drenched lawn perfect for gardening, meditation, or hosting barbecues under the open sky. The layout is a versatile 5DK, blending the warmth of traditional Tatami rooms with the practicality of wooden flooring, providing a canvas ready for your personal renovation touch or immediate rental deployment.
Beyond the gates, the location is a treasure trove of culture and leisure. Kasama is world-renowned for its pottery (Kasama-yaki) and vibrant arts scene. You are mere minutes from the Kasama Art Forest Park and the Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum, cultural hubs that attract tourists year-round. For the leisure seeker, the area is a golfer’s paradise, with prestigious courses like the Starts Kasama Golf Club and Kasama Country Club just a short drive away.
Strategically, the property is brilliantly positioned. It is approximately 35-40 minutes by car from Ibaraki Airport, a growing international gateway offering direct flights to major Asian hubs, making this an ideal vacation home for overseas investors. Furthermore, the historic Kairakuen Gardenin Mito (one of Japan’s Three Great Gardens) is within a 30-minute drive, and the stunning Pacific coastline at Oarai Sun Beach can be reached in roughly 45 minutes, offering summer ocean leisure. This is a rare chance to own a piece of the Japanese countryside that promises both financial returns and spiritual enrichment.

This single-story residence features a classic 5DK layout designed for flexibility and natural light. The home is centered around five Japanese-style rooms (Washitsu), each estimated to be standard 6-mat size (approx. 9.7 m² / 105 ft²).

The rooms are separated by sliding doors (Fusuma), allowing them to be opened up to create expansive communal spaces or closed for privacy. The western rooms feature deep built-in closets (Oshiire) and a decorative alcove (Tokonoma).
