About Us
We are a startup dedicated to reimagining Japan's "akiya," or abandoned and underused homes, by bringing them back to life as unique stays, homes, and investments. Our work connects property owners, local stakeholders, and international clients.
At Akiya2.0, we believe in preserving Japan's architectural heritage while creating meaningful connections between cultures and communities. This role is not a sales agent position - it focuses on connecting people, navigating language and cultural differences, and guiding clients through a process that may be unfamiliar to them.
