Granted they're fixer uppers, but you can't even get a cardboard box big enough to fit a one bedroom apartment in unfolded for less then 500 in America

Their population is ageing and rural towns are trying to attract people by giving away homes. Italy does the same thing.

It's less about dying and more about not maintaining population.

Time to move to glorious Nipponland and effortlessly assimilate myself into their rich culture using my vast knowledge of anime! After I fix up my new shinshitsu (japanese for bedroom) and uncurl myself from my warm kotatsu I'll walk to the nearest ramen stand and share a relaxing bowl of udon noodles with my fellow countrymen! Maybe I'll even bump into my future waifu (japanese for wife), where I will woo her with my intelligent interpretation of the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion and treat her to a kobe steak at a nearby maid cafe.

Deaths are probabaly due to the aging population, and the movers younger people looking for a education, jobs, socializing and amenities the major citys have to offer.

They're most likely in an area where there aren't any jobs.

This may be a good opportunity for someone who wants to retire in Japan.

I live in rural Japan but we don't have any houses like that here. The truth is they are in locations where unless you can work from home with satellite internet or are already rich you won't be able to support yourself. You will likely have to make a lengthy journey just to get groceries.

Houses around where I live aren't insanely outpriced, but you aren't getting something livable for less than 50,000.

The issue is theres no jobs

Everyone has run to the city

You get towns where like 1/3rd of the buildings are empty

Actually i think it was one of the Atelier games i'm sure they kept saying 'hontoni' or something like that. Chef Tatsuya kept saying 'Sugoi!' in Yakuza 5 after eating his meals.
