[Uninhabited Island] How much does an uninhabited island cost? The ultimate private camping experience on your own secret base!

Points to Consider Before Buying a Deserted Island

How to buy an uninhabited island?

It is said that there are about 6,000 uninhabited islands in Japan, and among them, there are islands that can be purchased by individuals.

First, if there's an island you absolutely want to buy, contact the prefecture to get in touch with the owner. If it's national land, you'll have to wait for it to be put up for auction, but if it's privately owned or brokered by a company, you may be able to purchase it.

Did you also know that property taxes on uninhabited islands are low?

Depending on the size of the island, it's only around 20,000 to 30,000 yen a year. This is because there are few buyers and the value is considered low.

However, please note that you cannot take out a loan for island purchases like you can for a house.

After all, being able to get your own island is an irreplaceable charm, isn't it?

You can also create your own campsite or glamping facility from scratch in a place that has nothing. There are also islands that are easily accessible from the mainland, so a working vacation in an uninhabited place sounds appealing.

Once you purchase it, let's get ready for life on a deserted island.

Customize to your liking with infrastructure development

So far, we've introduced recommended islands you can buy right now, but what can you do after you actually purchase one? If the island is undeveloped, start by setting up the necessary facilities for living.

Electricity can be secured with solar panels or generators, and water can be obtained by digging a well or filtering rainwater.

You can customize your living space however you like. You can set up a simple tent to experience a sense of survival, or build a full-fledged villa. You can also bring camping gear and have a BBQ.

Securing access is essential!

Even if you've managed to obtain your own personal paradise, it's meaningless if you can't reach it. Let's secure transportation to the island.

At low tide, islands you can walk or swim to would be ideal, but normally a boat is necessary. You can either get a license yourself or negotiate with a local fisherman to take you.

You can also build a helipad and fly away.

Finally

How was it?

Buying a deserted island sounds like a dream, but it's surprisingly achievable, isn't it?

If you're hesitant about buying right away, why not try experiencing a deserted island survival first? You might find yourself coming up with many things you'd like to do once you actually go.
