Akiya & Inaka offers real estate services focused on vacant housing in rural Japan. The property market in the Japanese countryside operates quite differently from Big Real Estate, but is generally governed by the same rules. Because of this, it is comparatively difficult to buy or sell on your own in the countryside.

We have years of experience researching akiya, exploring inaka, and working with municipal governments. We take this experience, and use it to enable buyers and sellers alike to meaningfully activate properties.

For decades now, there have been inaka revitalization efforts which, despite good intentions, all fall flat. Our hunch when we started was that this was due to a mismatched methodology that doesn’t suit the unique needs of Japan’s rural markets. Since then, we have proven that this is the case.

We help clients navigate that strange industry intersection of rural Japan and hot real estate.

Come with us, and access the rewards waiting for you.
