For businesses: partners, listings and ads
haikou.jp lists closed schools, akiya (vacant houses) and unused public buildings across Japan with an estimate of the total cost: acquisition, infrastructure and building recovery, and renovation for each use.
- Listings: about 460 closed schools and public buildings, and 1,000+ akiya (updated weekly from municipal akiya banks)
- Each listing shows cost estimates, subsidies that may apply and nearby past sales
