Some people in Japan are willing to rent or buy “accident properties” where events such as suicide or murder occurred in exchange for a discount. Ryuya says she continues to experience paranormal activity in her Setagaya apartment, while an American who has lived in Japan for decades bought a Kagoshima home at about half price after an elderly woman died there alone. A 2025 survey found that more than half of Japanese people would rent such a property if it were cheap.
