Have been in love with the Japanese culture since I was 10 years old. From the age of 18 (actually 17 if you count my year in delayed enlistment program), I served 10 years in the U.S. military. Lost sight of the dream of Japan while being eaten alive by the decline of western society/U.S. culture. Have regained sense of self and the hunger for the peace that is quietly present in Japan. Am hoping that although I am gaijin, would be able to find peace in Japan; love the language, love the culture, love the history. Owning a traditional-style home/akiya in Japan, one with the type of view you have, would be heaven on earth to me!

SHU this is perfect! More content like this please! I would absolutely live there. That is the type of property I am looking for. I want to be in the country, reasonable trip from a major city, well developed roads and large enough that I can host a bed and breakfast when my family isnt staying there. I have a daughter majoring in Japanese and going to study abroad next year before graduation. She wants to live in Japan for at least two years. Buying a place in the next year is ideal bc that gives us time to removate.

Hello Shu, I have a carpentry shop in Germany. We are proud of the craftsmanship here, but it is still becoming increasingly difficult to find a craftsman. if you buy an akiya in japan, how hard will it be to find the craftsmen to restore it? Especially in the rural regions. Could you maybe make a video about it? I would also write you an email but I don't dare yet. I have so many question

no... for anyone who needs a job to make a living this is a no go. and anyone who doesn't need a job probably has the funds to live somewhere else... moreover, you have to be really dedicated to make your life there. Speak Japanese and all that and even then you may never be part of the community which btw, is probably quite a bit older. I'd say there's a reason no one wants to live there. Here in the West or in the big Cities people fantasize about owning property and I get it, but there's other compromises that most people aren't ready for. Just speaking practically. Nice video though.

@rsmith02 Ай бұрын

The reason people don't want to live there is that the main occupation is farming and it's hard and not very profitable. So the younger generations have left.
