How to Navigate Hokkaido's Akiya Banks

Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island, is known for its stunning landscapes, rich culture, and now, its growing number of akiya—abandoned houses. If you’re interested in owning a piece of this beautiful region, navigating Hokkaido’s akiya banks is your first step.

1. Choose Your Preferred Area
Hokkaido offers diverse environments, from coastal towns to mountain villages. Decide whether you prefer a location near the sea, close to ski resorts, or within a farming community. Research the local amenities, climate, and lifestyle in your chosen area to ensure it aligns with your needs.

2. Access Local Akiya Banks
Hokkaido’s akiya banks are managed by various municipalities, each with its own listings. Start by visiting official municipal websites or the Hokkaido Prefecture’s dedicated akiya portal
.

3. Contact Municipalities or Owners
Reach out directly to municipalities or property owners for more information. They can provide additional details, arrange property viewings, and explain the purchase or rental process. Engaging with local contacts is crucial for understanding legal requirements and renovation possibilities.
