Embark on an Adventure Across a Land of Hidden Treasures
In the year 2018, the Japanese government announced the existence of an eye-popping 8.46 million akiya, or vacant houses, scattered across the country. After immersing ourselves for three years in this vast and intriguing ecosystem, we've concluded that by 2023, this number has likely swelled to a whopping 15 million. It's true, not every akiya is a diamond in the rough—many may not seem worth the time at first glance.
But amongst the ordinary, there lie extraordinary gems waiting to be discovered. You've seen these exceptional finds, and we've proudly served as the conduit between them and their new owners. The secret lies in knowing where to direct your search.
