Why akiyafor?

Akiyafor is a full-service platform for those looking to own a second home in Japan, particularly in rural areas where property prices have declined due to population decline.

While many akiya websites list vacant houses, they often leave you to navigate contracts and repairs on your own. Akiyafor simplifies the process by offering property introductions, contract mediation, renovation, maintenance and even management services when the property is not in use. You can even rent out your home when you’re away, potentially generating income as well.
