I had my eye on this property last year! Such a nice inside and I looooved the windows. Glad it went to a good buyer!

Technically, it is not an "Akiya". It is rural, but not abandoned.

80g’s for that is amazing. Love the windows and views. Your content is perfect. I’ve been looking at homes in Japan for almost a decade. 🎉

Shu san, It was an amazing video, thank you. Fujisan is just breathtaking as is the fact that it’s an active volcano. When doing your interview of the previous owners and your real estate colleague the importance of culture was highlighted as was language for those who may want to own a home in Japan. For this home you are in the presence of a true cultural landmark and one of great spiritual significance. I’m sure the new owners will learn and enjoy all that Fujisan has to offer in their new wonderful home. You’re doing great work in helping others enjoy a new home and everything that Japan has to offer. Best, Jeff

This is interesting to watch, but for a long time I've predicted that the day is coming when Japan will not even be able to PAY foreigners to do this and even come to Japan to live. If something sounds too good to be true....that's usually what it turns out to be.

@speaksthis 2 ай бұрын

Japan would be wise to keep the strictest immigration policies possible. Yet, it seems they are loosening up, without regard for what that will mean. Bringing in South Asians to 'man" cash registers at three different Family Mart's 100 meters from each other really isn't necessary. You have the crowd who are pro-migration, seemingly let in anybody, and they are often the "Green" crowd at the same time. Never mind in their minds that bringing in people who consume at a much lower rate than they will in Japan is going to create more "carbon". They're rather confused. Japan's population is rapidly declining and projected to be about 80m. in 2050. If you buy in Japan you better select a property very high on "Location, Location," if you plan to rent it out. If you're living in it yourself and have a reason to stay, then no issue, most likely. However, with population decline you absolutely must select wisely if you plan to rent out. I see hundreds of empty houses nearby me, and I am in a major metropolitan area.

Gorgeous find, congrats to Peter on the this purchase. I actually saw this listing online a while back haha Just had another look at the Akiya Assist form, I noticed you mentioned your team is currently booked until May, is the purchase process with clients usually handled by yourself directly completely solo? Or do you have a team / network that assists us with the process and anything other help we may need? Does the team I deal with change depending on the area I’m looking? The budget of Peter’s home is very reasonable, to be honest even triple the budget would’ve been reasonable. Been waiting for “the right time” but I think I just need to jump in.

My team is growing but still small. We only take in a selected number of clients per month so that we can make sure to deliver the results. Look forward to hearing from you.

Are sellers of akiyas better than landlords in regards to anti-foreigner attitudes? I had a hell of a time looking for a company that will help me rent a property because so many even English speaking agents are on the side of landlords and refuse to give a reason (but it's obvious) why landlords knew they're renting to a foreigner but suddenly refuse to rent when they find out i have a Chinese last name.

@shumatsuopost 2 ай бұрын

It depends. But that's where we come in so that our clients don't have to deal with such sellers.
