Essentially, there's usually good reason it was abandoned.

Additionally, houses in Japan aren't really built to last. Properties like these are usually bulldozed and rebuit when purchased.

Basically.

Grandma died and nobody wants to live in a 50 year old house in the middle of nowhere.

For $3400, I'm fine with living with tormented ghosts.

Building standards are improving but, yeah, slowly. Kominka over 100 years can have really good structure if well maintained, but it definitely would not be something who isn't already knowledgeable about them. The majority fall into ruin.
