2025-08-30 08:00:00 - What is an Akiya? Japan's Abandoned Homes and How You Can Actually Buy OneImagine owning a home in the Japanese countryside—a traditional house with a tiled roof, wooden engawa veranda, and a view of misty mountains or the serene sea. Now imagine you can buy this home for a fraction of the price of a city apartment, sometimes for as little as the price of a used car. This isn't a fantasy; it's the reality of Japan's akiya market.The term "akiya" (空き家) literally translates to "empty house." But it signifies more than just a vacant property; it represents one of Japan's most pressing demographic challenges and, for a growing number of intrepid foreigners and locals, an unprecedented opportunity. From charming rural cottages to modern homes left behind, these properties are a unique gateway to a life in Japan.This comprehensive guide will demystify the akiya phenomenon. We'll explore the reasons behind it, the realities and risks of purchasing one, and provide a step-by-step guide on how you can actually buy one.Why Are There So Many Abandoned Houses in Japan?The sprawling akiya market isn't due to a single cause but a perfect storm of social, economic, and cultural factors.1. Japan's Rapidly Aging and Declining PopulationThis is the core driver. Japan has one of the world's oldest populations and a low birth rate. As younger generations migrate to major economic hubs like Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka for education and jobs, they leave behind aging relatives in rural towns and villages. When these elders pass away, their homes are inherited by children who often have no desire or means to return and live in them. The National Institute of Population and Social Security Research estimates that by 2040, akiya could comprise nearly 30% of all housing in Japan.2. Japan's "Demolition First" CultureUnlike in many Western countries, where homes are often seen as appreciating assets, in Japan, buildings are typically viewed as depreciating, much like a car. The common belief is that a wooden structure has a lifespan of about 20-30 years. This, combined with a strong cultural preference for new construction, means that inherited older homes are often seen as liabilities rather than assets. The cost of demolition (anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 USD) also leads many heirs to simply leave the property to avoid the expense.3. Strict Inheritance and Property Tax LawsJapan's inheritance laws can create complex ownership situations where a single property is owned by multiple heirs (siblings, cousins, etc.). Getting unanimous agreement to sell or demolish the property can be legally challenging and emotionally fraught. Furthermore, while owning land has taxes, the tax on built-up land is significantly higher. To avoid this, some owners demolish the house to reclassify the land as "forest" or "field," which is taxed at a much lower rate. An empty house, however, sits in a limbo that can be financially preferable to the heirs until the government steps in.4. The 1970s "Bubble Era" Building BoomDuring Japan's period of rapid economic growth, there was a massive construction push to meet housing demand. Many of these homes, built quickly and en masse, are now reaching the end of their intended lifespan and are located in areas with dwindling populations, making them prime candidates for the akiya list.The Allure and The Reality: The Pros and Cons of Buying an AkiyaThe idea of a cheap Japanese home is incredibly seductive, but it's crucial to balance the dream with a heavy dose of reality.The Pros (The Allure)Extremely Low Purchase Price: This is the biggest draw. Akiya can be listed for shockingly low prices. It's not uncommon to find properties for 25,000, 10,000, or even less. Some villages, desperate to attract new residents, even give away homes for free or with substantial renovation subsidies.Access to Beautiful Locations: Your dream of a home in a serene Japanese village, a stone's throw from rice paddies, ancient temples, and hot springs, is financially attainable.A Chance for a Sustainable Lifestyle: Many buyers see it as an opportunity to escape the urban rat race, embrace a slower pace of life, and create a sustainable homestead or guesthouse.Cultural Immersion: Living in a depopulated town offers a level of cultural immersion and community integration that is difficult to achieve in a major city.The Cons (The Reality Check)Significant Renovation Costs: The purchase price is just the entry fee. The real cost is in the renovation. Many akiya have been neglected for years or decades. Issues like rotting wood, faulty wiring, plumbing problems, pest infestations, and mold are common. A full renovation can easily cost 100,000 to 200,000+, quickly erasing the "cheap" purchase price.Location, Location, Isolation: These homes are cheap for a reason: they are often in extremely rural areas. Access to healthcare, supermarkets, international schools, and even reliable internet can be limited. You must be prepared for a life of solitude and self-sufficiency.Cultural and Linguistic Barriers: Navigating property laws, contractors, and local bureaucracy is challenging without high-level Japanese language skills. Building trust with a small, aging community is essential but takes time and cultural sensitivity.Hidden Liabilities: You inherit any outstanding taxes or liens on the property. Furthermore, you may be expected to participate in local community activities (like neighborhood associations and festivals), which can be demanding for newcomers.A Step-by-Step Guide: How to Actually Buy an AkiyaIf the pros outweigh the cons for you, here’s how to navigate the process.Step 1: Secure Your Financing and Visa StatusThis is the first and most critical step.Visa: You cannot move to Japan permanently just by buying a house. You need a valid long-term visa (e.g., Spouse, Work, Specific Skills, or Business Manager visa). A property purchase does not grant you residency.Financing: Getting a Japanese mortgage for an akiya is nearly impossible for foreigners and often for locals. Banks are hesitant to lend on depreciating assets in depopulating areas. You must be prepared to pay for the property and its renovations in cash.Step 2: Find the Right PropertyYou can't just browse Zillow. Akiya are listed on local, prefectural, and national databases.Akiya Banks (空き家バンク): These are not financial institutions but official municipal websites that list vacant properties. They are often only in Japanese and can be difficult to navigate. Some prefectures like Wakayama and Nagano have more foreigner-friendly portals.Real Estate Agents (Fudosanya 不動産屋): Your best bet is to engage a bilingual real estate agent who specializes in akiya and foreign clients. They have access to networks and listings not available online and can be invaluable guides.On-the-Ground Research: The most effective method is to choose a region you're interested in, visit in person, and talk to local government officials and real estate agents.Step 3: Conduct Extreme Due DiligenceThis is more important than with any standard property purchase.Structural Inspection: Hire a trusted, independent building inspector to assess the foundation, roof, walls, and frame for rot, earthquake resistance, and pest damage.Utilities: Check the status of water, gas, sewage, and electrical connections. Bringing an old home up to modern code can be one of the largest renovation expenses.Legal Check: Ensure the title is clear and there are no hidden debts or ownership disputes. Your agent should handle this.Community: Try to meet the neighbors. Understand the community's vibe and whether they are welcoming to outsiders. Are there subsidies or incentives for new residents?Step 4: Make an Offer and Close the DealThe buying process itself is relatively straightforward once you find a property. Your real estate agent will guide you through the negotiation, drafting of the sales contract (Baibai Keiyaku), and the closing at a legal affairs bureau where the title is officially transferred.Step 5: Plan and Execute RenovationsLine up your architects and builders before you purchase. Good contractors in rural areas can have long waiting lists. Be prepared to manage the project closely, especially if there is a language barrier.Inspiration: Akiya Success StoriesDespite the challenges, many have successfully turned dilapidated akiya into dream homes.Foreign Entrepreneurs: Couples have renovated large traditional homes (kominka) into stunning guesthouses, cafes, and artist retreats, attracting tourism to these rural areas.Remote Workers: The post-pandemic rise of remote work has allowed some digital nomads to base themselves in the Japanese countryside, enjoying a high quality of life.Community Revitalizers: Some buyers aren't just investing in a house but in a community, participating in local life and helping to breathe new energy into fading towns.The Bottom Line: Is an Akiya Right for You?Buying an akiya is not a simple real estate investment; it's a lifestyle choice and a labor of love. It is not a path to easy residency or a quick financial return.It is right for you if:You have significant cash savings for purchase and renovation.You have a valid visa for long-term stay in Japan.You speak Japanese or have unwavering trust in someone who does.You crave a rustic, peaceful lifestyle and are not dependent on urban amenities.You are patient, resilient, and see the value in the journey, not just the destination.

2025-06-12 06:00:00 - 昨年 11 月、Aki Rissanen （アキ・リッサネン）が来日し、東京代官山で公演をした時、友人の紹介で Kawabata Akari さんという方にお会いした。公演の後、Aki と一緒に食事をしたが、その時彼女がアート作品を見せてくれた。今度 9/12 に出る Aki のアルバムのカヴァ―にその一群の作品が使われている。Aki に "work left a lasting impression. Her delicate, resonant pieces helped shape not just the album’s visual identity—but its sound as well.（彼女の作品は強い印象を残した。繊細で共鳴する彼女の作品は、そのアルバムのビジュアル・アイデンティティだけでなく、音そのものを形作る手助けにもなった。）" と言わせた作品だ。Aki はアルバムについて、「『Imaginary Mountains（イマジナリー・マウンテンズ）』は、私たち誰もが内に抱える目に見えない感情の風景についての作品です。それは、私たちが世界の混沌にどう向き合うかを形作る内なる地形。ときにそれは私たちを守り、ときに私たちの感覚を麻痺させます。このアルバムは、そんな静かでありながら強い内なる力を探求しています。」と語っている。シングル 曲 "For E" 購入演奏風景 "For E" Aki のサイトAki Rissanen - pianoAntti Lötjönen - bass Teppo Mäkynen - drum

2025-05-23 05:00:00 - 都会の喧騒とアスファルトに囲まれて育った少年アキラは、夏休みを田舎の祖父、リクのもとで過ごすことになった。最初、アキラは不満だった。Wi-Fiは弱く、友達もいない。あるのは、どこまでも続く畑と、土の匂いだけだった。リクは寡黙な老人だった。朝早くから畑に出て、夕暮れまで土と向き合っている。アキラには、それが退屈で無意味なものにしか見えなかった。「じいちゃん、なんでそんなに土ばっかりいじってるの？もっと面白いことないの？」ある日、リクは黙ってアキラを畑に連れ出した。そこには、黄金色に輝く小麦の穂、たわわに実ったぶどうの房、緑の葉陰に隠れるように実るいちじく、そして、まるで宝石のように赤いざくろがなっていた。オリーブの木々は銀色の葉を揺らし、蜂たちがせっせと蜜を集めているのが見えた。「アキラ」リクはしゃがんで、足元の土をひとつかみした。「いにしえの民は知っていた。人間は土であり、土が人間であることを。この土くれが、わしらを生かしてくれているんじゃ」アキラは鼻白んだ。「ただの土でしょ？」リクは首を振った。「この土に育まれた鳥や獣を、わしらは家族のように愛してきた。同じ水を飲み、同じ空気を吸う。全てのものは、目に見えない一本の絆で結ばれているんじゃ。現代の民は、大地から切り離された生活をするうちに、その大切な真理を見失ってしまった」その日の夕食、食卓にはリクが畑で育てた野菜と、焼きたてのパンが並んだ。アキラは、いつも食べているパンと何かが違うことに気づいた。それは、小麦の力強い香りと、ほんのりとした甘みがあった。「このパン、美味しいね」リクは微笑んだ。「この土地で穫れた小麦で作ったパンじゃ。ここでは、不自由なくパンを食べることができる。それは、この土地が、単なる土ではないからじゃ。土、植物、動物という回路を巡るエネルギーの、尽きることのない源泉なんじゃよ」次の日から、アキラはリクに倣って畑に出るようになった。最初は戸惑いながら、土に触れた。ひんやりとした土の感触、作物の若い芽の柔らかさ、土の奥深くに息づく小さな虫たちの営み。リクは、土がどのようにして小麦やぶどうを育て、それがどうやって自分たちの血肉となるのかを、静かに語って聞かせた。ある雨上がりの朝、アキラは畑に立ち、裸足で濡れた土を踏みしめた。足の裏から、じんわりと温かいものが伝わってくるような気がした。それは、リクが言っていた「エネルギー」なのかもしれない。鳥のさえずりが、風の音が、土の匂いが、以前とは全く違って感じられた。それら全てが、自分と繋がっているように思えたのだ。夏休みが終わり、アキラは都会へ帰る日が来た。リクは何も言わず、畑で穫れた小さないちじくの苗をアキラに手渡した。「これを、お前の部屋で育ててごらん。土を忘れんようにな」都会に戻ったアキラは、ベランダのプランターにそのいちじくを植えた。毎日水をやり、土に触れるたび、リクの言葉と、あの土地の温かさを思い出した。窓の外にはアスファルトの道がどこまでも続いていたが、アキラの心の中には、確かに土の感触と、そこに息づく命の絆が根付いていた。彼はまだ少年だったが、いにしえの民が知っていた真理の一端に触れた気がした。人間は土であり、土は人間である。そして、その絆こそが、自分たちを生かしているのだと。アキラは、いつか自分の子供たちにも、この土の物語を語って聞かせようと心に誓った。失われた真理を取り戻すために、小さな一歩を踏み出したのだった。Akira, a boy raised amidst the hustle, bustle, and asphalt of the city, was to spend his summer vacation with his grandfather, Riku, in the countryside. At first, Akira was disgruntled. The Wi-Fi was weak, and he had no friends around. All there was were endless fields and the smell of earth.Riku was a man of few words. He would go out to the fields early in the morning and tend to the soil until dusk. To Akira, it all seemed boring and meaningless. "Grandpa, why are you always messing with the dirt? Isn't there anything more interesting to do?"One day, Riku silently led Akira to the fields. There, wheat shone golden, grape clusters hung heavy, figs ripened hidden amongst green leaves, and pomegranates glowed like red jewels. Olive trees rustled their silver leaves, and bees could be seen diligently collecting nectar."Akira," Riku said, crouching down and taking a handful of the soil beneath them. "The ancient people knew. Humans are soil, and soil is human. This very earth is what sustains us."Akira scoffed. "It's just dirt, isn't it?"Riku shook his head. "We have loved the birds and beasts nurtured by this same soil as if they were family. We drink the same water and breathe the same air. All things are bound by an invisible, single bond. Modern people, having been disconnected from the great earth, have lost sight of this vital truth."That evening, the dinner table was laden with vegetables Riku had grown in his fields and freshly baked bread. Akira noticed something different about this bread compared to what he usually ate. It had a powerful aroma of wheat and a subtle sweetness. "This bread is delicious," he remarked.Riku smiled. "It's made from wheat harvested in this land. Here, we can eat bread without want. That's because this land is not mere soil. It is an unceasing wellspring of energy that flows through the circuit of soil, plants, and animals."From the next day, Akira began to join Riku in the fields. Hesitantly at first, he touched the soil. He felt its cool dampness, the tenderness of young plant shoots, and the workings of tiny insects dwelling deep within the earth. Riku quietly explained how the soil nurtured the wheat and grapes, and how they, in turn, became their flesh and blood.One morning, after a rain shower, Akira stood in the field and felt the wet earth beneath his bare feet. He sensed a gentle warmth seeping up from the soles of his feet. Perhaps this was the "energy" Riku had spoken of. The chirping of birds, the sound of the wind, the smell of the soil—they all felt entirely different from before. It seemed as if everything was connected to him.The summer vacation ended, and the day came for Akira to return to the city. Riku said nothing but handed Akira a small fig sapling harvested from his field."Grow this in your room, so you don't forget the soil."Back in the city, Akira planted the fig tree in a pot on his balcony. Every day, as he watered it and touched the soil, he remembered Riku's words and the warmth of that land. Outside his window, asphalt roads stretched endlessly, but within Akira's heart, the feel of the soil and the bond of life it nurtured had firmly taken root.He was still just a boy, but he felt he had touched upon a sliver of the truth known to the ancient people. Humans are soil, and soil is human. And that very bond is what gives us life. Akira vowed to himself that one day, he would tell this tale of the soil to his own children, taking a small step towards rediscovering that lost truth.
