This Couple Bought and is Renovating a House in Japan for Less than 100K, Mortgage Free

I visit Laura and Ichi, who have bought and are renovating a house in Japan. It’s an akiya, not quite abandoned, but unoccupied for around 8 years, with a total project cost (purchase and renovation) of less than USD 100K.

For more details about how they bought their house and to follow their progress, check out and follow Laura and Ichi’s YouTube channel:

To see Ichi’s art (currently showing at Japan’s first physical NFT exhibition in Shibuya until July 22) and to buy his book check out the following links:
