在日本，曾发生自杀、谋杀或孤独死等非正常死亡事件的房屋被称为“事故物件”。由于文化迷信因素，这类房产的租金和售价通常大幅低于市场水平，吸引了寻求廉价住房的租客 1。随着高房价和生活成本上升，越来越多人愿意接受居住在这些曾经发生过悲剧的房屋中 1。2025年的一项调查显示，超过半数的日本人表示，如果价格便宜，他们愿意租用此类“凶宅” 1。
针对这一现象，日本政府于2021年发布指南，规定中介机构在租赁业务中需披露房屋内发生的自杀、谋杀等事件信息3年，而在出售业务中则要求无限期披露 1。尽管存在这些披露要求，但显著的经济折扣仍是主要吸引力。在东京世田谷区，一名叫Ryua的租客因前任租户自杀而租下一间25平米的单间公寓，月租金从6.2万日元降至4.5万日元，折扣幅度接近30% 1。此外，专门列示并众包收集此类信息的网站Oshimaland自2005年上线以来，成为了人们寻找此类房源的重要渠道 1。
除了租赁市场，购买“凶宅”也能带来巨大的成本节省。79岁的美国居民Diane Tincher在鹿儿岛购买了一套三居室住宅，该房屋此前曾有老人孤独死，因此以2000万日元成交，约为正常市场价格4500万日元的一半 1。
In Japan, properties where unnatural deaths such as suicides, murders, or lonely deaths have occurred are increasingly sought after by tenants and buyers seeking significant financial savings. 1 This trend is fueled by rising living costs and high housing prices, making the steep discounts offered on these "jiko bukken" (incident properties) attractive to those willing to overlook cultural superstitions about haunted homes. 1 A 2025 survey indicates that more than half of Japanese respondents would be willing to rent a property associated with an unusual death if the price were sufficiently low. 1
The market for these discounted homes operates within a framework established by government guidelines in 2021, which mandate transparency regarding past incidents. 1 Under these rules, real estate agents must disclose information about suicides, murders, and other unnatural deaths for three years when listing rental properties, while the disclosure obligation is indefinite for sales transactions. 1 Despite this requirement, many individuals find the cost benefits outweigh the stigma, turning what might be considered undesirable into a viable housing option. 1
Concrete examples illustrate the magnitude of these savings available to bargain hunters. 1 One tenant, Ryua, secured a 25-square-meter single-room apartment in Tokyo’s Setagaya ward for 45,000 yen per month, down from the original 62,000 yen, representing a discount of nearly 30% because the previous occupant had committed suicide. 1 In another case, Diane Tincher, a 79-year-old American resident, purchased a three-bedroom house in Kagoshima for 20 million yen, roughly half the normal price of 45 million yen, due to the fact that an elderly person had died alone in the home. 1 Specialized platforms like Oshimaland, launched in 2005, further facilitate this niche market by crowdsourcing and listing information on incident properties across the country. 1
