房子多到没人要,免费送你要不要?
Japan is currently selling their houses at heavily discounted prices and is even giving away some for free due to the abundance of abandoned properties. Did someone say FREE houses? The houses offered are mostly in rural areas, though many young people prefer to live in the city.

由于存在大量废弃房产,日本目前正以超低价格出售房屋,其中有一些甚至还免费赠送。是的,你没听错,免费赠送。不过免费赠送的房屋大多位于农村地区,多数年轻人则更喜欢居住在城市。

As reported by mStar, they have estimated to have around 10 million abandoned properties and have crafted the ‘Akiya’ scheme to provide help for young families to get involved in the property market, where houses are given away at a cheap price, or even for free. The scheme also provides subsidies to encourage renovations.

据报道,日本目前估计有大​​约1000万套废弃房产,并发起了「Akiya」计划以促使年轻家庭购买这些房产。在该计划中,这些房屋都将廉价出售,甚至免费赠送。此外,该计划还会提供补贴以鼓励买主重新装修房屋。

Despite this, due to Japanese superstitions, vacant and abandoned houses are even harder to sell in the market as they are often associated with suicide, murder or even ‘Kodokushi’, which refers to a Japanese phenomenon of people dying alone and only being discovered after a long period of time. Therefore, these houses are thought to be unlucky.

尽管如此,由于日本的迷信传统,空置与废弃的房屋更难以在市场上出售掉,因为这些房屋往往与自杀、谋杀甚至「孤独死」有关。其中,「孤独死」是指日本人独自死亡且在很久之后才被人发现的现象。因此,这些房屋被认为是不吉利的。

There are a few requirements for one to be eligible for the ‘Akiya’ scheme. For instance, all family members must be under the age of 43 and must have children old enough to attend primary school. Those who saw the properties in these rural areas think that the spacious layouts are suitable for them; however, there are several risks in the ‘Akiya’ scheme to consider.

当然,要想获得「Akiya」计划的参与资格,还是有一些要求的。例如,一些地方政府要求所有家庭成员的年龄必须小于43岁,并且必须有一个大到足够上小学的孩子才行。据那些看过这些农村地区房产的人表示,这些房屋的宽敞布局很适合他们。不过与此同时,「Akiya」计划也存在几个需要考虑的风险。

Firstly, the renovation costs might amount to the same price as purchasing a property elsewhere. Apart from that, there is also the uncertainty where the original property owner might turn up one day and demand their land back.

首先,重新装修的费用可能与在其他地方购买一套房产的价格一样高。除此之外,还有一个不确定的因素是:原先的业主可能有一天会突然出现,并要求他们归还自己的土地。

According to some, purchasing an ‘Akiya’ house is considered to be a ‘social failure’ but it is still an option to consider for many young families due to the expensive house prices in Tokyo that are constantly rising, with each new property costing around RM3.3 million since January 2018.

也有一些人认为,购买一套「Akiya」房子会被视为「社会失败者」,但鉴于东京昂贵的房价还在不断上涨,自2018年1月起每套新房产的价格已高达79万美元,因此许多年轻家庭也不妨考虑一下购买「Akiya」。

What do you guys think of these houses being offered for free in Japan? Would you move into one of these homes or will you be too ashamed by the connotations that come with it?

如果是你的话,你愿意搬进其中一套免费提供的房屋吗?还是会因此而感到羞耻呢?
