Former Akiya Traditional Japanese House Tour | 1 Year Living Experience in Rural Japan

Former Akiya Traditional Japanese House Tour | 1 Year Living Experience in Rural Japan

Join me for a tour of our former akiya, a traditional Japanese house that we’ve been living in for over a year now! As an American living in the Japanese countryside, I’ll share the pros and cons based on our experience living here for the past year. We bought this akiya for 4 million yen (about $35,000 USD) and renovated it with many modern features while preserving key traditional Japanese elements. Whether you’re interested in akiya renovations or rural Japan living, this tour will give you an inside look at what it’s really like!
