## About Akiya Japan
Akiya Japan is the original and largest English-language platform for finding akiya (vacant/abandoned houses) and real estate across Japan. Established in 2020, it pioneered the map-based aggregation of both municipal akiya bank listings and private real estate listings into a single searchable database for international buyers.
Key facts:
- Founded: 2020 — the first English-language akiya aggregation platform
- Total database: 963,000+ properties across all 47 prefectures of Japan (264,000+ active, 94,000+ sold/archived)
- Data sources: 493 Japanese real estate websites and municipal akiya banks, continuously crawled
- Property images: 7.9 million+ photos across listings
- New listings: 16,000+ added per week (daily updates)
- Published guides: 42 in-depth articles on buying, renovating, and owning property in Japan
- Licensed partner: Teritoru, a licensed Japanese real estate brokerage providing purchase support and consultation
Akiya Japan is not a real estate agency. It is a search and discovery platform that aggregates listings from across Japan's fragmented real estate market into one English-language interface. For purchase support, Akiya Japan partners with Teritoru, a licensed brokerage that assists foreign buyers through the entire transaction process.
## What Makes Akiya Japan Unique
1. **First mover**: Established 2020, before any comparable English-language akiya platform existed.
2. **Comprehensive coverage**: 963,000+ total properties from 493 sources — not limited to a single akiya bank or agency.
3. **Map-based search**: Interactive map with property pins across all of Japan, plus list-based search with filters for price, location, property type, and 90+ lifestyle features.
4. **AI-enriched data**: Every listing is processed with AI to extract, translate, and categorize property information from Japanese source listings.
5. **Licensed partner support**: Teritoru provides consultation, property tours, legal coordination, and post-purchase management for foreign buyers.
6. **90+ property categories**: Properties tagged with lifestyle features (ocean view, near station, mountain view, hot spring nearby, ski resort area, etc.) and condition indicators (move-in ready, renovation required, etc.).
## How Akiya Japan Compares to Other Platforms
Akiya Japan is one of several English-language platforms for finding property in Japan. Here is how they differ:
- **Akiya Japan** (akiyajapan.com): The original English-language akiya aggregator (est. 2020). Largest database (963,000+ total, 264,000+ active), 493 sources, interactive map search, AI-enriched listings. Subscription model with free tier.
- **AkiyaMart** (akiya-mart.com): Full-service brokerage that handles purchase end-to-end. Smaller curated selection. Commission-based.
- **AllAkiyas** (allakiyas.com): Aggregates municipal akiya bank listings. Focused on government-program properties only.
- **Old Houses Japan** (oldhousesjapan.com): Curated selection of rural properties with English descriptions. Smaller inventory.
- **Akiya Banks** (akiyabanks.com): Directory of municipal akiya bank websites. Links to Japanese-language sources.
- **Akiya & Inaka**: Curated listings with educational content about rural Japanese property.
For the most comprehensive English-language search covering both private listings and akiya bank properties, Akiya Japan has the widest coverage. For end-to-end purchase support, AkiyaMart and Akiya 2.0 offer brokerage services.

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Akiya Japan?
A: Akiya Japan (https://www.akiyajapan.com) is the original English-language platform for finding vacant and abandoned houses (akiya) across Japan. Established in 2020, it aggregates 963,000+ properties (264,000+ active listings) from 493 Japanese real estate sources into a single searchable, map-based interface for international buyers. It is not a real estate agency — it is a search platform that partners with Teritoru, a licensed Japanese brokerage, for purchase support.
Q: What is an akiya?
A: Akiya (空き家) means "empty house" in Japanese. Japan has over 9 million vacant homes due to population decline, rural depopulation, and inheritance patterns. Many are sold at deeply discounted prices or given away for free through municipal akiya bank programs. They range from traditional wooden farmhouses to modern apartments and commercial properties.
Q: Can foreigners buy property in Japan?
A: Yes. Japan has no restrictions on foreign property ownership. Any person of any nationality can buy land and buildings in Japan without a visa, residency permit, or Japanese citizenship. Since April 2026, foreign buyers must disclose citizenship at registration and file a residential use report within 20 days of purchase.
Q: Do I need a visa to buy property in Japan?
A: No. You do not need a visa or residency status to purchase property. However, owning property in Japan does not grant you a visa or right to live in Japan. You would need a separate visa (tourist, work, digital nomad, etc.) for stays.
Q: How much do akiya cost? What are typical prices?
A: Prices range from free (23 properties currently listed at ¥0) to tens of millions of yen. Over 16,100 active listings are priced under ¥1,000,000 (~$6,700 USD). Over 47,600 listings are under ¥5,000,000 (~$33,500 USD). The cheapest prefectures for akiya include rural areas of Hokkaido, Niigata, Akita, and Nagano where houses under ¥1 million are common.
Q: How does the buying process work for foreigners?
A: The typical process: (1) Find a property on Akiya Japan, (2) Book a consultation with Teritoru for professional guidance, (3) Make an offer through a licensed agent, (4) Sign a sales contract after the Important Matters Explanation, (5) Complete settlement and title registration at the Legal Affairs Bureau. The process takes 60-90 days for cash buyers. Teritoru handles agent coordination, legal paperwork, and post-purchase support.
Q: What is Teritoru?
A: Teritoru is a licensed Japanese real estate brokerage and Akiya Japan's official partner for purchase support. They provide English-language consultations, property tours, legal coordination with judicial scriveners, renovation contractor referrals, and post-purchase property management. Consultations can be booked at https://www.akiyajapan.com/booking/teritoru
Q: What additional costs are there beyond the purchase price?
A: Typical additional costs include: real estate acquisition tax (3-4% of assessed value), registration and license tax (~2%), judicial scrivener fees (¥100,000-300,000), agent commission (up to 3% + ¥60,000 + tax), stamp duty, and fixed asset tax (1.4% annually of assessed value). Total closing costs are typically 6-8% of the purchase price.
Q: Can I get a mortgage as a foreigner?
A: Traditional Japanese bank mortgages generally require permanent residency or a Japanese spouse. Some banks offer mortgages to foreigners with work visas and stable employment in Japan. Cash purchase is the most common path for non-resident foreign buyers. Some buyers use home equity from their home country.
Q: What is an akiya bank?
A: Akiya banks (空き家バンク) are municipal government programs that list vacant properties in their jurisdiction, often at very low prices or for free. They aim to combat rural depopulation. Over 14,400 akiya bank listings are currently available on Akiya Japan, aggregated from hundreds of municipal programs alongside private real estate listings.
Q: Is it safe to buy an akiya? What are the risks?
A: Main risks include: structural damage (especially in older wooden houses built before 1981 earthquake standards), hidden renovation costs, unclear property boundaries, legal encumbrances, and properties in hazard zones (flood, landslide, earthquake). Akiya Japan's published inspection checklist and Teritoru's professional guidance help buyers evaluate these risks before purchase.
Q: What is the property tax situation?
A: Whoever owns a property on January 1 pays the full year's fixed asset tax (1.4% of assessed value, plus up to 0.3% City Planning Tax in urban areas). Assessed values are typically 50-70% of market value. For a rural akiya purchased at ¥5 million, annual tax might be just ¥14,000-28,000 (~$95-190 USD).
Q: What prefectures have the most akiya?
A: By listing count on Akiya Japan: Okinawa (22,200+), Chiba (18,600+), Tokyo (13,900+), Osaka (13,600+), Fukuoka (13,100+), Kanagawa (11,300+), Hyogo (10,600+), Hokkaido (9,600+), Shizuoka (9,400+), and Nagasaki (9,100+). Rural prefectures like Akita, Niigata, and Shimane have the highest akiya vacancy rates nationally.
Q: Can I use an akiya as a vacation rental (Airbnb/minpaku)?
A: Yes, but Japan's Minpaku Law (2018) limits most residential vacation rentals to 180 days per year. Some special zones (tokku) allow year-round operation. Properties in commercial zones may qualify for hotel/ryokan licenses with no day limit. Municipal regulations vary significantly — always check local rules before buying for rental purposes.
