AKIYA2.0 is an initiative to bring Japan’s past alive in the present. AKIYA2.0 is on a mission to resurrect Akiyas, abandoned homes also known as silent homes, scattered all over Japan. The main motive of AKIYA2.0 is to transform these into immersive spaces that offer an authentic glimpse into traditional Japanese culture. AKIYA2.0 wants to turn these silent homes into empty canvases that people can enjoy as they are, without any changes. These canvases will tell the story of Japanese architectural evolution and cultural tradition while maintaining the emptiness of the canvas for customers to create new memories.

These Akiyas are scattered all across Japan in various towns. Each town has its own traditions and stories to tell, creating beautiful Akiyas with beautiful environments. As most of these are in remote locations in beautiful rural areas, one can enjoy the traditional beauty of Akiya as well as nature itself. While maintaining the profound traditional aspect of these beautiful homes, AKIYA2.0 is also planning to make this experience stress-free by providing all types of amenities to customers.

After a certain time in the future, AKIYA2.0 is also set to have its own travel club. Basically, customers will purchase a monthly membership to stay in any one of the AKIYA2.0 properties anywhere in Japan.

AKIYA2.0 wants to emphasize the best of the rural experience and will provide a full suite of amenities for customers. One of the best amenities would be a car, so if you stay at one of the AKIYA2.0 properties, you will have a car for your entire stay. This way, anyone can get the best experience of the Akiya as well as their surroundings in traditional rural areas. Buckle up for the upcoming days, as AKIYA2.0 brings new experiences to you every week.
