Introduction


The concept of turning vacant houses, or akiya, into dream homes is gaining traction in Japan. Old Houses Japan is dedicated to helping buyers find these hidden gems and transform them into beautiful, functional residences. Here’s how you can turn an akiya into your dream home with our assistance.


Renovation Support and Grants


Many akiya require renovations to restore their former glory. Old Houses Japan provides information on available grants and subsidies that can significantly reduce the cost of renovations. These incentives, offered by local governments, encourage the preservation and revitalization of traditional homes.

Renovating an akiya allows you to blend traditional Japanese elements with modern amenities. Whether it’s incorporating tatami rooms or adding contemporary kitchen fixtures, the possibilities are endless. Old Houses Japan offers inspiration and advice on creative renovation ideas to help you design the perfect home.
