Akiya Japan
What Is Akiya Japan?
Japan's akiya crisis has left over 9 million homes vacant across the country. Local governments are actively inviting foreign buyers — some properties sell for as little as $1,000. The problem? All the information is in Japanese and scattered across 1,800+ municipal websites.
We collect, translate, and publish these listings in English — giving international buyers a single place to search all of Japan's available vacant homes.
