Japan's 'death-tainted' homes gain appeal as property prices soar
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel The house that property consultant and ghost investigator Kazutoshi Kodama regularly surveys has a grim history: seven years ago, an elderly woman hanged herself in the bathroom and last year her son died alone, his body undiscovered for roughly 10 says he has stayed in the house - located in a quiet residential area in Chiba near Tokyo - from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. nearly 20 times, monitoring with four video cameras, a thermal camera, an electromagnetic field meter, an air pressure gauge, a thermometer and an IC recorder. He takes notes of the readings every he is satisfied there are no paranormal phenomena such as unexplained electromagnetic disturbances, he will issue a certificate deeming the property free of Japan, homes where murders or suicides have occurred are classified as "jiko bukken" or "misfortunate properties" that may provoke psychological distress for new owners or tenants. So are homes with "socially isolated" deaths - the most common type of misfortunate property where bodies are not found for some time and sufficient decay has set in to warrant special cleaning services or even the replacement of floors and thinking around misfortunate properties has been shaped by Japan's ancient Shinto religion which holds that when a person dies with regrets, their spirit lingers on earth, often at the site of their death, bearing grudges or overwhelmed by grief."Finding renters used to be virtually impossible," said Kodama, who founded his company, Kachimode, three years ago to offer what he calls ghost investigation services for prospective buyers and tenants."But with rising real estate prices, people have begun considering misfortunate properties as an option."Japan's property prices have rocketed on a surge in construction material and labour costs as well as an influx of overseas investors, attracted by a weak yen and the relative cheapness of local real average price for a second-hand 70-square-meter condominium in Tokyo's 23 wards, for example, jumped by more than a third in May from a year earlier to 100.9 million yen ($697,000), according to real estate research firm Tokyo OLDER, LONELIER SOCIETYJapan's rapidly ageing population has led to more socially isolated deaths . The national policy agency's first-ever report on the issue said there were nearly 21,900 cases last year where the death was not discovered for eight or more trend is such that the elderly can find it difficult to rent as owners worry their properties may one day become to mitigate this problem, the central government in 2021 issued guidelines recommending that three years after such a death, homes can shed their misfortunate property labels, potentially making it easier to find owners and agents still need to make disclosures about the property's history to all prospective buyers and to renters if they guidelines have spurred interest in misfortunate properties. Although Kodama may be unique in offering ghost investigative services, other real estate brokers are also seeking to capitalise on this emerging say that some younger people have become more open to living in misfortunate properties while both domestic and overseas investors - among them many Chinese - are attracted by potential high yields."Investors don't care (about the property's history) because they won't live there," said Akira Ookuma, founder of broker Happy Planning, adding that some hike rents after three also note that whereas the site of a murder may have to be sold for 80% below regular market prices or even fail to sell at all, for other misfortunate properties, the discount can be a relatively small 20%.MarksLife, which offers services for misfortunate properties such as ceremonies for lost souls performed by a Buddhist monk, says the properties it handles have an average investment return of 8.4%.By contrast, a studio apartment in central Tokyo has an expected average return of 3.55%, according to a CBRE misfortunate properties are only going to rise in number, real estate brokers aged 65 or above living alone currently account for 14% of all Japanese households but in 20 years' time, they will form a fifth, the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research has yet to sign off on the Chiba property - one he now rents with plans to sublet - as ghost-free. But he says he's done more than 70 investigations and only a fraction have revealed phenomena such as electromagnetic some prospective buyers, his certificate might be enough. For others, though, any misfortunate property is going to be a bridge too far."Even with discounts, I'm going to stay away ... It's not just the potential for ghosts; I'm just creeped out by the unusual and unfortunate histories," said Mari Shimamura, a 24-year-old office worker.

Japan auto trade 'unfair', could buy more US oil, Trump tells Fox News
Japan engages in "unfair" automobile trade with the United States and should increase its imports of U.S. energy resources and other goods to help reduce the U.S. trade deficit, President Donald Trump said in an interview broadcast on Sunday. Tokyo is scrambling to find ways to get Washington to exempt Japan's automakers from 25% automobile industry-specific tariffs, which are hurting the country's manufacturing sector. Japan also faces a 24% so-called reciprocal tariff rate starting on July 9 unless it can negotiate a deal. "They won't take our cars, and yet we take millions and millions of their cars into the United States. It's not fair, and I explained that to Japan, and they understand it," Trump said in an interview on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo". "And we have a big deficit with Japan, and they understand that too. Now we have oil. They could take a lot of oil, they could take a lot of other things." The automobile sector accounted for about 28% of the total 21 trillion yen ($145 billion) worth of goods Japan exported to the U.S. last year. Live Events Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
