I Am Giving This Japanese House Away for ¥0 - You Could Own This (APPLICATIONS CLOSED)

I'm sorry to see that there are some really horrible comments. I think what you're doing is great, and what you're doing for the community there is great. Keep doing what you do! For every horrible commenter, know that there are 10-20 people who are watching your videos and loving your good work.

Not sure why people are negative. He's very transparent about the issues & costs. This is only for those who are willing & able to do a renovation. It also assures that the local tradesmen get a job. Sounds like a good way to go about it.

I just want to say what a nice guy you seem to be! I would love to move to Japan, but right now is not the right time, as I have to take care of my daughter. Maybe sometime in the future. You’re giving a house away, preparing it for them, offering to let them use your truck, put them in contact with people. It’s really nice to see there really are people around like you! I hope the project goes to the right person, and wish you all the best on your own projects too!

Nice way of bringing new energy to the village, I hope the house finds the right new owner!

Brilliant idea for the next generation of your community. Can’t wait to see who ends up here and would love to see them or their family documenting the renovations as well as the local life.

Go live your best life young man! You are an inspiration to many who wants to lead lives differently and ignore the haters who seem to have taken a personal vendetta against what you are doing. Fellow Singaporean “uncle” here!

You are so nice. Big hug for you for revealing costs and damage to the property, some people would hide that. It looks like a great diy project. Good luck finding the perfect person to take over this wonderful house.

This video is right on time because I spoke recently to my friends in Tokyo and I expressed to them that I will visit Japan soon. It is my intent to move to Japan and I have already searched different areas outside of Tokyo. The Yamanashi area seems to be one of their favorite places. 😊 My friends asked me do I know how to use tools. No problem I said but of course consulting a professional would be wise.

What a cool thing you are doing for the tradesmen there, love it.

Wow, I would love to own an Akiya in Japan and eventually live there! These houses have so much potential.

What a gourgeous house!; thank you for your insights and sharing this opportunity. I am excited to see the journey of the renovation and hope you the home can find its dream owners soon to love it :)

Great video! This is informative for us since we are moving to Japan early next year and strongly considering living in the countryside. We'll check out your other videos. Thanks for sharing and committing to this project. The terms of the offer are quite fair, especially considering the work your volunteer team has already done. Best of luck in finding the right candidate!

Love all the work done and indeed this is a great place for anyone looking to try living close to nature. Especially for us who live most of our lives in the city. Thank you for your generous gesture and all the extra work done for whoever is taking over the house. They will be lucky to at least get to know nice people like you🎉

Thank you so much for providing a tour of this house and explaining the details of what needs fixing. Your kindness and generosity is admirable. I hope you find the right person to move in. 👍

What a fantastic opportunity for a lucky someone. You have certainly supplied a lot of information for whoever wants to apply. I wish much luck and happiness to whoever acquires this home in a beautiful country with beautiful people. ❤

This is a really great opportunity for someone to have a wonderful life in Japan that you are offering!

Great idea. This will bring someone a lot of happiness.

SO Happy to discover this! I would love to Volunteer in rural Japan & Vlog my experience...

This is a great offer and perfect for a starter home here in Japan! Unfortunately I own my house already, so I have enough property taxes to pay. But I hope someone with a keen sense of DIY will turn this into a great home!

This is incredible! My partner and I visited Neyagawa last fall & rented a traditional inn there. It was life changing, and I wish to wake up to the smell of tatami everyday. We talk constantly about moving to Japan to open a Mexicali restaurant! We're huge sumo fans & studying Japanese. We're discussing the logistics of it right now; our next trip we wanted to talk to a real estate agent about details of moving to Neyagawa. Thank you for how sweet you're being to help the future owner of this beautiful property. I'm excited to watch what happens!
