Last December I visited two more Akiya houses in Nanto city of Toyama prefecture, the northern part of Japan. Both are located by a river and close to the historical districts of Fukumitsu and Johana. One is listed on a general commercial real estate site, and the other is actually from the Akiya bank of Nanto city. You can find more information in the links I provide below (the pages may be taken down anytime). Hope you enjoy the trip and tour!

That second one is worth it I think, even with the risk of flooding it is still a nice place.
Please tell us about the old houses with ghost that are for sale, please. If your house has a few ghost is that very bad in Japan? Will the price be lower?
Perfect timing
Stephen, that second property looked like it was well elevated above the river when you visited, but perhaps seasonal flooding is an issue? The water damaged wall is usually a sign of some roof damage. Thanks for sharing these two properties!
The city looks lovely
Facinating places!
Make a video showing how to look for places like this online please. Every time I look I can’t find good website 😢
Thank you for such a wonderful resource.
I like the townhouse that you showed and I would love to try to be able to get that one only if you was able to help me through our contacts Hero on the phone on the laptop or whatever I don't know if you have my email address and I also like that other one for 1.5 million yen but I like to get something like that also close to a river but the townhouse was possibly ideal for me at this moment but I love your videos and I hope I hope you keep up the good work and try to get a little bit closer to different but areas around around Osaka and Kyoto areas and maybe even in in the kanegawa area
Great video, thank you.
It's a little odd seeing a non-rural place like that with such little activity on the streets; no bicyclists, walkers, car traffic, etc.
