Buying an Akiya House in Japan: Visit from the Akiya Bank & Progress Update

Are you interested in buying an abandoned akiya house in Japan? We bought an akiya house in a rural village in Masuda city and would like to share our experience of what happens after the purchase. Do you need to maintain a connection with the akiya bank? What are their expectations? As you can see from this video, establishing good relationships is one of the keys to success for your akiya purchase.

Recently, we had a special visit from the Akiya Bank representatives, Masuda City officials, and the local Kominkan (community center)! 🏡

✨ They wanted to see inside our akiya, hear about our restoration progress, and share their thoughts on the project. We also showed them some of the unique finds we've discovered in the house, and they kindly gave us gifts of beautiful Bengara dyed textiles! 🎁

This visit was a great opportunity to build relationships with the local community and further understand Akiya Bank expectations. If you're curious about how working with the Akiya Bank unfolds and what it’s like restoring an old Japanese house, join us on this journey!
