Share your experiences
Did you know our Instagram has been fired back up? It was looking a bit tired, so we swept out the spiders, dusted off the feed, and polished up the posts. You can join the fun at instagram.com/akiyajapan/. Please feel free to follow and share with your friends. 😁

This month we've made updates to the nuts and bolts of the system, such as server upgrades. We have been aware of large amounts of traffic that have slowed our system down at times. We apologise to all who experienced this. We will continue to monitor these events so your experience is not interrupted in future.

Looking ahead we will be reviewing pricing and services with our partner broker, teritoru. If you have ideas or expectations that you would like to make us aware of, please contact us asap and make your thoughts known!

As usual we invite everyone with experiences, contacts, or information to share with other subscribers to please reach out. If you have an article that will directly help our subscribers live and thrive in Japan we'll be happy to promote you.

Happy New Year!! Welcome to 2025!!
We hope everyone had a great 2024! Over the past year, many changes in the akiya and property space have taken place. So much interest is being generated from buyers and entrepreneurs from overseas. We remain convinced that Japan is poised for an incredible surge in growth and renewal in the coming decade.

Our mission of "connecting Japanese culture and commerce to the broader world" is progressing carefully. We remain focused on delivering a great search for non-Japanese speakers to get their start in navigating the property market in Japan. However much remains to be done — we are excited to reveal our plans in due course. As the original service of this type, our invitation remains open to anyone who wishes to join us in this mission.

This year we welcomed a partnership with one of Japan's premier licensed property brokers: teritoru. Hioki-san and her team share our mission, and deliver such a professional, comprehensive service. They are friendly and engaged with their clients, and have all you require to complete your purchase and enjoy your place in Japan for many years to come.

We conducted a short interview with Hioki-san recently, which you can find here.

We'd like to wish everyone good luck, good health, and good searches for 2025. May this year mark the start of a great life ahead!
