Japanese House Cost's?

Recently I read that a house(depending where in Japan) could cost up to 250,000USD.


The person who said this seemed to know quite alot and said if it was outside of Tokyo or a Rural area is could cost that,


My Question is,


a.What is a good country/rural esque neighbourhood near a big city like Tokyo,


b.How much would a house roughly cost in that area?


Any help would be appreciated,

';up to 250,000USD.'; sounds more like only for a house construction, not the land price included. You'll need to pay another 500,000UDS for the land in Tokyo area.





My home town is in suburb of Tokyo, 1.5hours from the center of Tokyo by using train/bus. Around my area, houses with land cost no less than 400,000USD. Apartment houses cost like 250,000USD. for the cheapest one for single or small family.


Old houses cost less depending on how old, however, it cost no less than half of the precess I mentioned above.





If you go like more than 3 hours away from Tokyo, by train, which people hardly commute to Tokyo. Prices go down.





My suggestion is that you seek old houses in south Chiba area which is called BOUSO area. No good train services to commute to Tokyo, but you can still drive up to Tokyo area in about 3 hours. Close to ocean, very good surf and fishing sites, mountains but not too steep, beautiful view, calm and nicest environment, warm and mild climate, and rather friendly people.


Old houses there could cost 30,000USD to 300,000USD., generally speaking. It really depends.





Followings are Japanese website to show used houses in BOUSO area, it's in Japanese but you could refer.


';1,000涓囧唵'; in the list means about 100,000USD.

a, ';a good country/rural esque neighbourhood'; is a vague description. I can't tell you any place with that description.





Basically, many neighborhoods around Tokyo are not so different.





b, You need to spend $400,000 or more to buy a house around Tokyo. Or you may find some used houses with $250,000 although there are not so many.
