DIY Japanese House Renovation Time Lapse - 12 Months In 23 Minutes!
This was quite possibly the most comprehensive video I've seen on the akiya experience yet. Thank you for your efforts and sharing with us!
Glad it was helpful! Let me know what you want to see next ☀️
I'm big into self sufficiency and eco living ideas. People in my position want to live this life but in the UK its wildly unaffordable and land/property ownership is but a fantasy for most people. This is an affordable and appealing venture/adventure. But I would as a request, I love to see something like this please? Frankly I think the Japanese are bonkers for wanting to live in these cities, if we had the option here to own property this cheap in the countryside, there would not be a housing crisis right now. i enjoy your videos please make more 😅 @@ANTONINJAPAN
THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN! What do you like the most about Ito-sans House?
Did you read "Free Houses in Japan" Yet? Don't forget to leave a review on Amazon!

Thank you for showing all of the details of this process.
Happy you like it!
Your channel grew amazingly quick. Congrats here. I'm here since the 27.000s. But I'm amazed that other house owners and even agents now tend to open up to you to talk about this rather "silent" contract business. This is so interesting for foreigners like me. (I only signed a japanese contract once, wich was for renting a gakuryou room for one month, and this was complicated enough for the rest of my life.)
これからも、よろしくお願いします🙇
@@ANTONINJAPAN光栄です、これからも動画を作り続けていただきありがとうございます。
Removing the Ceiling turned out totally amazing!!! It is 10 times better than I expected! LOVE IT! Tell your friend I think it is an amazing job!! I love it!
What a great and profitable influence you have had on your friend, Anton! Good for you!
That constructor is a badass! such talent and so economized
It is obvious that this is an episode you could plan from the start and not try to edit together long after filming the content in another language. The quality is much better.
Also, it is nice to see the perspective from japanese person who renovates akiyas. Here on youtube it is almost always us foreigners, and we seem to have both different reasons and different aesthetics
I'm early! lets gooo :D thank you for showing these details in regards tothis kind of progress!
Amazing Work! Thanks for inspiring.🌸🌅
Its incredible how affordable the property and renovations combined are. Its no so nice in the US, as a simple small house that is barely up to codes will cost over 100,000.... i like your channel, its an interseting and informative insight to all of this. I might have to get your book someday as i have dreamed of living in japan since i was a teenager.

Looks amazing! I wonder as well about adding additional metal pillars within the walls for earthquake support? The paint colors make it so bright and happy.
If we assume all of Ito sans 8 properties rent out at around 70-80K a month he would stand to make 70,000 JPY * 12 months * 8 properties = 6,720,000 jpy/year. Even when accounting for the fact that there will be costs for maintenance that sum equals to a decent salary in Japan. If we also assume none of this is debt financed Ito san could in principle retire tomorrow. Even if he does not want to (does not seem to be the case) it is still a very good position to be in.
I love your videos I think my favorite was you renovating your house and a few more this is up there!❤😊
Yay! Thank you! More content coming!
@@ANTONINJAPAN Chris from Abroad in Japan probably hasn’t seen your amazing work when he made a video warning people not to buy old houses in Japan
That looks like a really good deal..I have looked (online) at 100's of kominka style houses and that one is one of the best I've seen even if not quite as traditional as some (but the benefit of not falling down!)
Heading that way in December to look for a deal like this to renovate. Cool video
It looks fantastic. I am sure he will doing all that is required over time.
A sliding ceiling would be amazing in the kitchen so you can close the ceiling if you want a cozier feeling
I'd like to do the same here in Norway, but prices for even "akiya" houses here are ridiculously high as well as you have to have residency in a purchased house for min 1 yr if you want tp avoid paying excessive taxes (a regulation to keep the investor/rebuilder/quick profit incentive down as it's lack of apartments here)
14:27 is that ghost seal 😂
Watched only the first 2 minutes of the video and I can tell this is gonna be banger! About to head out and get some ramen and strong zero from the local combini and enjoy.
The kitchen looks good, but anyone who has lived in Japan knows that the open kitchen concept can be freezing in winter. You have to wear your coat when you cook in that kitchen to keep urself warm ,,because they don't have central heating, and houses are made very thin due to earthquakes. It may look nice, but it's a very bad idea for living in
He insulated all the walls but i do not know what his heating system is - I am sure he knows about the winters…
The issue with foreigners in Japan is that they often assume the mindset will be the same as in their own country. Having lived in Japan and many other countries, I can tell you that Japanese people are very intelligent. The houses shown in the video will remain empty for a long time if they are not located near a station or in the city center. These Akiya houses appear to present a great business opportunity, but I can't help but wonder why Japanese people haven't pursued these opportunities before. We should ask ourselves that question. "If something seems too good to be true is it really good ?", we should be more cautious about it. @@gailalbers1430
that's the issue with those videos ,, don't show the reality , I bought houses in Japan few times by myself and I know what I am talking about ,, just check any Japanese house with the same concept ,,, u cant see it ,, guess why ?@@gailalbers1430
日本人なら誰でも、日本の一般的な家の薄い壁は他国の分厚い壁よりも断熱効果が高く頑丈であることを知っており、適切なパワーを持つエアコンで家中を暖房出来る事を知っていますが古い家については分かりません。
I would install a heat pump.
Amazing investment!
Thank you for all your comments and interest 🙏❤️ Please check out My new Akiya Renovation project in Shinjuku! 🏚️🔜🏡 And read my book ’Free Houses in Japan’ to learn more about Akiya investments and the basics of buying and Renovating houses in Japan 🎌
Available on Amazon! Happy read!
I would love to do something like this
この家はとてもよくできているので、将来購入するかもしれないと思います
How you will heat the houses? Maybe you talk about already and I missed it. Thank you
Shout out to that iphone 4 still kickin in 2024 03:33
Thanks for adding dollars $
Its amazing video. How do find an agent specialist in Akiya.
I don't know why but i just watching these videos anout building a house in Japan 😂
Good video, but what is a legal scrutner ? Or can someone tell me the correct word for it.
Man what a dump that was to start. I wouldn't have taken that for free lol. I guess I got pretty lucky on my $4500 US all in house that was in better shape out near Kanazawa. Good luck!
imho this is a lot of work and you don't make much money, but it is very fulfilling
Omg that price to rent out?! I'd rent in a heartbeat!
Omg that selling price?! I'D BUY THAT IN A HEARTBEAT
is there a way to contact Ito-san for his renovated house?
If your mate has 8 houses generating a nice income, how about actually adding some value for your tenants? It doesn’t bode well for any maintenance works that may need seeing to in the future.
For some reason for me, it looks too chaotic with the open ceiling and the beams in the kittchen. It kinda dont convice me. 😅
Hi Anton
Thank you so much for sharing
I m interested in your completed project
In central Japan
Will you be selling
Hi Michelle,
Please email at info@anton.jp
Best,
Good luck changing those light bulbs.
After drinking 10 beers, using that toilet must be a challenge.
Where in Chiba is this Akiya?
What is this Gas shop you mention
What are you doing with all these houses? Do you sell them or do you rent them?
What is the plumbing like in these homes? Waste, gas, water. Where does it come from and where does it go?
Some have septic tanks...which suck. lol Also some use LP gas vs city gas. It's hit and miss with different properties.
Where is Itto Sans information?
Did he saying, "shity house" am I, heard it correctly? If it is, that's very disrespectful!
How much is property tax?
If a building is derelict is it ok to demolish and rebuild? Are the planning laws on designs restrictive or open to creativity?
Japan has very strict laws regarding garbage disposal (which includes trash after demolition). On top of that, there are some regions where you can not demolish and rebuild houses. That's the case in many tightly packed parts of the country. So it is either you keep the outside as much as possible intact or buy a new house.
This is why you really need a Japanese person by your side to help navigate all those rules.
if you have skill of renovation, there're tons of treasures in japan. 😮
17:24 Are all those doors that short or are you that tall? I ask because I'm 1.93m tall myself.
He said in his book that doors are about 1.70 m in most of japan
Thanks @@pablodm9
@@pablodm9That is a mistake. It is indeed not that low. 185 cm is not a problem. Even very old houses are 175 cm.
Hello, i had one question. being an Indian citizen, can i buy a house like this if i have the money for it? Maybe i'll shift there later or i'll stay there when i visit the country? is it possible? also what type of problems comes with it if i could buy property this way?
I love India! Been to Kerala several times. Please buy my book "Free Houses in Japan" to learn how I navigate the market and the risks and opportunities with Akiya. Happy read!

That talisman though 😅
He has no junk in the house like your 1st house.
One thing you should mention that foreigners can’t buy property if it’s near a U.S. or Japanese military base.
Absolutely not true
How or where can I get help for buying a house in Japan? I want to retire in Japan and want to buy an affordable house. For me. I heard about Akiya homes. Can you trust them? They want the down payment money $ 1300 upfront. Does it work like that?
That is not how it works.
Spend time in the area you want to buy into.
Please read my book ’Free Houses in Japan’ to learn how I have found and bought my houses - I hope you find it useful 🙏

Let’s tell the full story. It maybe cheap but the taxes is very expensive. That’s why they are empty.
You didnt watch the full video?
Man if you watch the video, then you would have seen how much the taxes are for a whole year. Not much at all. even if they raise the taxes now that he has fixed it up they still will be super cheap.
Frim a buyer's perspective, I think the 'do it on the cheap' method is not a good idea. To do something that does not use the best methods for the buyer's wellbeing is what is causung a downfall of integrity in countries. Bad karma!
I'm a gaijin in Naka-ku Yokohama looking for a property here because it's near the school of the kid. I tried ATHomes and Suumo but the choices are very limited here. Does anyone know other online websites I can try to search for properties here ? I don't have Nihongo skills either - it's super basic like a 2 year old or 3 year old japanese kid.
how's buying japanese property profitable. like dosent the value degrade over the time?
With a 40% ROI it has paid off the initial investment after 2 1/2 years then all income after that is profit free and clear
foreigner can come to Japan and buy like this house?
Yes, but it comes with three issues: 1. You can’t live in Japan permanently unless you have the proper visa. 2. You have to pay for everything with cash. No financing for foreigners. 3. Everyone you will be dealing with will not speak English and all the documents will not be in English so you either have to know fluent Japanese, know someone who does or hire a translator.
sorry but u looking familiar to Felix ( pewdiepie) huh
she is so cute and so are you
Sir now I want to buy property in Japan. Can you give me any help?
👁️👁️
Pretty sure these house owners were evicted at some point not abandoned
if you watch the video, they got old and had to go to a retirement home and the children did not want the house.
No need to swear in the video.
Like the video but hated the stock videos clips. Gives a cheap and insincere feeling. Every scammer uses them.
What is this girl's social media?
