    Akiyamart was great until it became a paid service. The exchange rate aud vs usd makes it ridiculously expensive.
  • @pepeeze
    I loooove Akiya-Mart! You did a great job, especially with the map. Keep up the good work! Cheers.

    Id love to hear their opinion on buying old houses rather than demolishing and building anew. It's not common to buy an over 50-year-old house in japan since the houses are mostly made of wood and we have a high earthquake rate. Its more common to demolish the house and build a new one before selling.

    Hey guys! Amazing initiative, just subscribed! Could you please add a "Pet friendly" apartment filter?
  • @renzoohm6844
    It’s a way more cuz it’s only 1 hour from Tokyo and also because yall bought it reformed already ? You think this was a better deal than say saitama which is 40m to ikebukuro ?
  • @kirbyesque

    I love seeing you guys use your own tool and take us through the process. I watch your Instagram intently and plan on using akiya Mart to purchase my first Japanese property in the next couple years.

    I had thought that only Japanese residents were able to register and insure a vehicle. That is not correct?
  • @koonpati
    Good job boys, however how do you pay for all the utilities while you're back home in your own country? Can you pay them in advance?
  • @JaysUniversal
    Looking to buy a home in Japan in the future such an amazing place
  • @theatk

  • @NS329
    How do you manage to attend to the residential community services of your town when not living in Japan?
  • @samepeople
    Lovely house! May I ask how do I have to live ppl says there since it's akia, i saw that you actualy need to live there if it's in rural place. I was thinking to buy it for retirement. Thanks.

    I'm guessing they want to rent out this property because flipping houses is not a thing in Japan because house depreciate fast. If they charge $1,000 a month, it will take them at least 10 years before they can recover their investment.
