I am the yokai
I wonder if there are soot sprites in the attic. Is there a giant camphor tree nearby?

I could feasibly make $4k pretty quickly, I want my own home, and I've always wanted to visit Japan... 🤔
Because buying and not using land is morally wrong.
Let them discover how taxes, insurance and liabilities work.
Also immigration to Japan
Nah man they can quote Anime so they get instant citizenship.

Because these houses are located in remote, rural areas. They have been abandoned because people are moving closer to the cities or the owners are old/dying and they can't continue maintaining them. The money you save from the initial purchase will all come out of the expenses to renovate and maintain the house because a lot of them are run-down.
Of course if you're the type who wants to live in the middle of nowhere, and you have the money and skills to renovate, this can be for you.
You can actually do this in most countries. Public Auctions of homes are for when people don't pay land taxes so the local auditors repossess them and sell them dirt cheap to cover the amount due.
You certainly can't buy a home in Germany that's anywhere close to as cheap as the one in japan. Maybe there are some very remote plots of land with a ruin of a house on it, but those will still cost more than 4000€.
Public auctions around my area usually start at around 150k or more, so it's just not worth it for me.

I can imagine this would make your taxes wacky
IIRC Japan's more or less the hardest country out there to immigrate to.

なぜだめなのw
because it's falling apart and needs a lot of investment to renovate and make it habitable.
