We’re kicking off our DIY Japanese akiya house renovations with of the engawa (veranda) of our 1868 akiya — a traditional kominka farmhouse deep in rural Japan. This is the first video in a hands-on DIY series where we repair, rebuild, and restore this beautiful old Japanese house.
We've owned our house for almost two years now, and we have finally started working on some of the areas that really need attention. Until now, we have been focusing on the inside with upgrades to kitchen, toilet and general livability. Now, the real work begins!
In this episode:
🛠️ DIY engawa repair begins — dismantling rotten boards and planning the rebuild
🏡 A peek at the annex and its amazing 100-year-old glass doors — more kominka restoration to come
🌸 A peaceful visit to a 500-year-old cherry blossom tree near our village — a real hidden gem
We’re learning as we go, using simple tools, traditional techniques, and a lot of patience. If you’re curious about akiya houses, DIY renovation in Japan, or life in a kominka, subscribe and follow along as we document every step of our journey.
