Abandoned Houses on sale for $500 USD in Japan - Do they really exist? Here is how you can find them

Akiya (abandoned houses) in Japan made the headlines again this past week, but can you really find those ones as cheap as $500 USD or even for free? While I don't recommend buying them if you don't currently live in Japan, there is an English-friendly site where you can find more than 100 Akiya properties for under $5,000 USD.

Note that Akiya Sumai is only a portal site that links to Akiya bank page of each city.  In the end, the buyer still has to go through the official route (everything done in Japanese) and contact each city.
