Agent assisting in helping find Akiya (abandoned cheap properties) in Japan.
The traditional Japanese houses listed on KORYOYA are all built before 1950 with the traditional construction method.The traditional method is the result of more than a thousand years of past carpenters passing down their efforts and wisdoms. As no new houses can be built with the traditional construction method under current law, the high craftsmanship is in danger of becoming a dying art.
The population of Japan is declining, and rural communities are dying day by day. We hope each of the property listed on KORYOYA can serve as a catalyst to help revive the withering communities of Japan. As these traditional houses get restored, preserved, and utilized, we hope that both the tangible and intangible cultural treasures of Japan can be passed on to the future generations hundreds of years from today.

5 months agoI had an amazing experience with Steven. In the end, I purchased the house, and I was beyond happy when I saw it for the first time. Steven was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, guiding me from start to finish. He explained each step of buying a house in Japan thoroughly, helping me understand what was possible and what wasn’t. If you're a foreigner living in Japan or abroad, I highly recommend Steven. Who knows—perhaps sooner than I expect, I might use his services again for a second house! Yassin

8 months agoSteven was phenomenal to work with, from his portfolio of houses to pick from, working as my power of attorney, and meeting him for an on-site house tour and of course the follow up and closure of the house. I would highly recommend working with him. Thank you so much for your hard work Steven!

8 months agoEverything happens for a reason. I don't know how or why my wife and I got so lucky to have met, work with and get to know Mr. Steven Koryoya-san, but our Kyoto home purchase was the absolute best experience, ever. Throughout the whole process, Steven was professional, flexible and extremely knowledgeable in all areas. He provided prudent and logical guidance, and we could not have completed our purchase without him, and the resources that he had. And even post purchase, Steven has continued to support us in every way, and there will be no hesitation whatsoever in utilizing Steven's services should we purchase another home. Thank you so much Steven for everything!

2 years agoSteven has been a wonderful guide during our searches for a house in Japan. Listening to us, responding as well as possible to our requests, even the most complicated. Even if we had to drop our project due to personal issues, Steven has been really supportive and comprehensive. Thank you very much.
