Hello and welcome Akiya Living! 

As lifelong travelers from  Canada, we share a deep passion for Japan.  Over the years, we’ve visited Japan many times, falling in love with its diverse regions, rich culture, and amazing food. Our dream has always been to own a vacation property in the serene Japanese countryside.  

During our search for an Akiya, we found it challenging to navigate the scattered listings and limited information. Realizing that others might face the same difficulties, we decided to create AKIYA Living. Our goal is to simplify the process of finding and purchasing Akiya properties, making it accessible for fellow enthusiasts. As interior designers by profession with years of experience in home renovation, we see immense potential in these vacant houses. 

Our love for transforming spaces inspired us to help others turn neglected properties into beautiful, functional homes. Through AKIYA Living, we offer curated property listings, personalized reports, and professional design services. We share our journey and expertise, hoping to inspire and support you in finding and revitalizing your own Akiya. Join us as we embark on this exciting adventure, bringing new opportunities and vitality to rural communities in Japan. 

Although we’re not real estate agents, our passion for Japanese homes has made us quite knowledgeable, and we’re thrilled to share our findings with you! Whether you’re hunting for your dream home or just seeking some stunning inspiration, join us on our journey to uncover the most incredible homes in Japan.
