Authorities in Kyoto plan to introduce a tax on empty houses.
The city is struggling to deal with some 15,000 rapidly decaying abandoned homes, which were literally left to rot after owners died and heirs refused to manage them. Many delay the sale of such heirlooms, keeping them for the use of children and grandchildren. However, left unmanaged for years, the houses simply decompose.
