I Tried to Find Abandoned Houses in Ginza
Jan 14, 2026Can abandoned houses really exist in Tokyo’s most expensive neighborhoods?
I went running through Ginza, Nihonbashi, Tsukiji, and Tsukishima to find out.
What I found surprised me.
Hidden akiya.
Quiet streets.
Homes sitting empty beside luxury real estate.
I break down property prices.
I show the signs of vacant homes.
And I explain what this means for Japan’s real estate market.
If you are curious about akiya, Tokyo property, or buying in Japan as a foreigner, this one is worth watching.
