Abandoned Houses Exist Under Tokyo Skytree

Feb 11, 2026
 

Did you know there are abandoned houses just minutes from Tokyo Skytree?

Not on the outskirts.
Right in central Tokyo.

In this episode, I walk through Sumida Ward.
Old streets. Quiet blocks. Homes most people walk past without noticing.

Some are completely vacant.
Some cost as little as ¥7 million.

I break down real prices.
I compare old akiya with renovated income properties.
And I explain why this area is still surprisingly affordable.

This is a side of Tokyo few people ever see.
