Vacant Homes by Prefecture - October 2023

Tokyo, Japan, has emerged as a focal point in the discussion of Japan's unoccupied properties, often referred to as Akiya. With urbanization trends and shifting demographics, the challenge of managing vacant homes is increasingly concentrated in major cities. According to a government report released in April 2024, Japan had 9,375,900 unoccupied dwellings as of October 2023, with Tokyo accounting for 967,800 of these, or approximately 10.3%—the highest of any region in the country. AkiyaHub leverages data like this to provide members with insights and tools that uncover hidden opportunities in Tokyo and other key locations, offering compelling options for both local and international investors seeking affordable real estate in one of the world's most dynamic markets.

While community connection is a key component of AkiyaHub, the platform also delivers an extensive range of tools designed to guide users through every stage of the Japanese real estate process. Features such as a personalized property search, financial calculators, in-depth guides aim to provide comprehensive support, and even visa assistance wizards. These resources are intended to make navigating the complexities of the real estate market more accessible, while the community aspects—like discussion forums and webinars—offer additional avenues for shared learning and collaboration. By integrating these resources with community-driven support, AkiyaHub serves as a well-rounded platform for those interested in exploring Japan's real estate opportunities.

The launch of AkiyaHub coincides with growing interest in Japan's real estate market, driven by factors such as the depreciating yen and the appeal of Japan's lower cost of living. This timing enhances the relevance of AkiyaHub's platform for those exploring affordable housing options and cultural immersion in Japan.

Brett Lee & popular 'Akiya' YouTuber Shu Matsuo Post, Co-Founders of AkiyaHub, noted that the platform was developed to address the complexities of navigating the Japanese real estate market. They emphasized the importance of creating a space where members can access reliable information and community support as they navigate the process of purchasing these properties.

AkiyaHub is planned to be live in early 2025 and will start welcoming new members. Interested individuals can visit the platform to explore its resources, join the community, and begin their journey into Japanese real estate.
