GermanyThis article discusses the phenomenon of 'jiko bukken' in Japan—properties associated with death or tragic incidents that are difficult to sell or rent due to cultural superstitions. These properties, often marked as 'stigmatized,' are avoided by potential buyers and renters because of beliefs that proximity to death brings misfortune. Experts like Kazutoshi Kodama of Kachimode Co. note that these properties can lead to significant financial losses for owners, with some remaining vacant for over a year.
