Technically Tokyo: Niijima is one of the Izu islands administered by the capital, a volcanic surfboard of an island two and a half hours south by jet-foil. This listing is the island deal of the year on paper — 719 m² of land and a 278 m² building from 1974, for ¥5 million, in the quiet northern hamlet of Wakago.
Niijima is a genuine surf destination with white-sand beaches, free public onsen, and a small year-round community. The catch is the same as everywhere on the islands: every renovation decision is a ferry schedule decision, and a building this size from 1974 will need real work.
As a base for a surf lodge, artist residency, or the most committed remote-work move in Japan, there is nothing else at this price with this much space and a Tokyo address.
