    I bought an akiya over the summer, but it was very recent compared to what you usually cover (1985). I have since seen the other akiya directly adjacent also be taken over (one sold, one the son of the original owner has decided to renovate). Two other plots of land have now had new houses built on them. My builder was here earlier today and I should have my renovation estimate soon. I'm a remote worker, but that only started due to COVID. I think there are others in the same situation and that will drive 田舎 prices up.

      Thank you for sharing this! Where is the Akiya that you bought? Good luck with the upcoming steps of fixing the place - hopefully the quote won't be too different from expected.

      @@GoodOldHousesJapan Kujukuri area. I guess in part because of climate change, there are many more surfing days in a year than there used to be. So the town is full of surfers always and various businesses are sprouting up (coffee shops, guest houses, surfing instructors). Also, I think those who like surfing and now are remote or have a skill to be done anywhere are moving here. My LNP gas guy surfs every morning before his rounds.

    Hello there and thanks for your infos about akiyas, in English! Otsukaresama desu! I'm actually in my home country France, but planning to go back in Kansai where I lived 25+ years - in Hyogo-ken ( my family is there/ son from Doshisha Univ.). Interested to purchase some place in Kansai, but hesitating between Osaka/ Kyoto/Hyogo- similar purposes as yours...I do interior design and renovations myself( side business), and created various commercial spaces around Japan for Japanese clients, and collaborated with local contractors ( yes, sometimes very uneasy)/ architects etc. One of my Japanese acquaintance has fully renovated ( he only ad to keep the structures as the original shapes, including roofs), 3 Akiya downtown Kyoto and rent them to foreign travellers, but as you mentioned, he faces issues with the local neighbors, as the traveler's do not always respect or understand the local policies (particularly noise/gomi issues)...Hope I'll meet you around someday when I'll search for a location, within the coming months. Gambate kudasai, 4649 🙂

    Hi , you make very good video explaining about real estate in Japan . Could you share with us how we can verify that the actual agriculture land is the same land as on the land title. We have the title with the lot number and location . But is there away to check that the lot number is the actual land that we are planing to acquire ? The land title does not indicate the gps coordinates. Thanks for sharing ❤

    I don't understand how land prices can increase when the poplation is shrinking and non-residents can't own property.

      Japan is finally inflationary, for the first time in my entire adult life. Non-residents can own property. They just can only live in it no more than six months in a calendar year. And for those of us who are residents (as I alluded to, I've lived here my entire adult life, I've never had a "real" job anywhere else, though I bagged groceries, cleaned theaters, and sold shoes as a teen and college student in the US), when we look at house prices abroad.... If we're in a more rural area or are remote workers (the pandemic sent me remote and that was made permanent), Japanese house money is the same is *car* money. I paid $45K for my house. That's SUV money in the US! My area, which is not even a 市 but a 町 and is definitely rural seems to be a popular area. Looks like I managed to squeak in first, because what was a block of akiya is now a block of occupied or soon to be occupied houses again. My elderly neighbors have been shocked by the rapid change.

      I've heard that a lot of Chinese people have been buying land in Hokkaido. China is Communist so the state can take everything you own whenever they want, So Chinese people try to secure their wealth buying up real estate in other countries. I don't blame Chinese people at all but its caused huge housing issues in Canada, Australia New Zealand etc.

      Such discrimination is not illegal in Japan yet (hopefully one day it will be), so it is sometimes better for agents to say this and clear out the bigots. It's a problem in apartment renting too. One of the advantages of having an agent is that they get to deal with the bigotry, and you don't have to face it directly. I speak from experience here. It's deeply unpleasant to face such discrimination and realise that no laws are being broken. It isn't just national origin or race either, native Japanese LGBTQ couples routinely run into the same issues.
