How to Navigate Chugoku Region's Akiya Banks

The Chugoku region, located in western Japan, is known for its serene landscapes, historic sites, and charming rural communities. It’s also home to numerous akiya—abandoned houses that offer unique opportunities for restoration and investment. Here’s how to navigate the Chugoku region’s akiya banks and find the perfect property.

1. Choose Your Preferred Area
The Chugoku region includes diverse areas such as the scenic coastlines of Shimane, the historic city of Hiroshima, and the tranquil countryside of Tottori. Consider which environment aligns with your lifestyle, whether it’s close to nature, history, or local culture.

2. Explore Local Akiya Banks
Each prefecture in the Chugoku region manages its own akiya listings. Start by visiting the official websites of the municipalities that interest you. 


3. Browse and Filter Listings
Use the search filters on these sites to find properties that match your criteria, such as price, size, and condition. Listings typically include photos, descriptions, and contact information. Shortlist properties that meet your needs for further exploration.

4. Contact Municipalities or Owners
Once you’ve identified potential properties, contact the relevant municipality or property owner. They can provide additional details, arrange property viewings, and guide you through the purchase or rental process, helping you navigate legal and logistical aspects.
