Akiya Check: Risk report for cheap houses in Japan

Hi Product Hunt 👋 Every few months a "houses in Japan for $20,000" story goes viral. What the stories skip: the reason it's cheap is written in the listing, in kanji most foreign buyers can't read — "rebuilding prohibited", "urbanization control area", "septic tank", "disclosure matters". And the government hazard maps are Japanese-only. Akiya Check does the desk research a Japanese buyer would do in an afternoon: • Geocodes the lot and queries Japan's Ministry of Land datasets at those coordinates • Reads the listing for risk keywords • Scores the property 0–100 and marks every item OK / CAUTION / RISK / UNKNOWN — for every UNKNOWN, you get the Japanese sentence to email the agent Free to try: • Sample report on a real lot in Chiba → https://solederlego8-a11y.github... • 12-point checklist with the Japanese phrases → https://solederlego8-a11y.github... It's not a survey and not legal advice — it's the step before you fly out to look at a house. If you've bought (or almost bought) an akiya: what do you wish you'd known?
