Transforming Akiya into Profitable Airbnb Properties

Writer's picture: David LakeDavid Lake





Turning a neglected akiya into a thriving Airbnb can be a rewarding venture. These abandoned homes offer affordability, charm, and the chance to create a unique guest experience.


Why Akiya Properties Are Ideal for Airbnb





  1. Affordable Entry: Akiya homes are significantly cheaper than urban properties, making them an attractive investment for beginners.

  2. Authentic Appeal: Many travelers seek traditional Japanese architecture and rural charm, which akiya homes often provide.

  3. Potential for Customization: Renovating an akiya allows you to design a space tailored to your target guests, such as a family-friendly retreat or a romantic getaway.


Success Stories





  • A couple in Hokkaido transformed an old farmhouse into a ski lodge, attracting winter sports enthusiasts.

  • In Kyushu, an akiya near hot springs became a popular destination for spa-goers.
