After years of visiting Japan and falling for the country, this client decided it was time to invest in a place of their own — a home base for the family, purchased all the way from Vienna. In this video, they share their full ownership journey with AKIYA2.0.
The search started the way most do: hours of research online, interviewing agents, asking a lot of questions. What stood out about working with Lester, our co-founder and COO, was how open and trustworthy the process felt, with every detail and piece of information laid out clearly from the first conversation to the final signature.
The result is a fifth-floor apartment in Kasahata, Kawagoe, about 50 minutes to an hour from Ikebukuro. Set in a solid concrete-and-steel building, the unit is in good condition and needs only small cosmetic touches rather than major repairs — ready to become the family's place to stay whenever they're in Japan.
Buying property overseas can feel daunting, but for this client the experience was relaxing, enjoyable, and refreshingly easy. AKIYA2.0 handled communication throughout, kept them informed at every stage, and made the property search a genuinely positive one.
