Greeting from the Founders

Kenta Yoshida

Kenta Yoshida

CEO / Licensed Real Estate Agent

Many people are interested in Akiya (vacant houses) in Japan, yet hesitate to take the next step—wondering whether it is truly possible to purchase from overseas, how contracts and procedures will be handled, and who will support them after the purchase is complete.

Akiyanow was created to make it possible to actually buy, own, and manage Akiya from abroad with confidence. From property selection and contracts to handover and post-purchase support, we focus on building a process that works in reality, not just in theory.

More than a listing platform, Akiyanow is designed to support the entire experience—ensuring that buying an Akiya is not just possible, but sustainable. We connect Japan’s Akiya with the world, in a way that continues well beyond the moment of purchase.

Akiyanow is built on practical experience gained through real estate work in Japan, combined with insights developed from operating web-based businesses.

By applying this hands-on knowledge, we aim to design a platform that is not only informative, but also functional—one that reflects how property transactions actually work in Japan, while remaining accessible to users around the world.

Behind Akiyanow is a focus on structure, clarity, and continuity. By bridging on-the-ground real estate experience with digital strategy, we strive to create a service that supports long-term use, trust, and growth beyond a single transaction.
