How to Buy a Cheap Akiya, Turn it Into an AirBnb, and Move to Japan!

from Japan Real Estate

We spoke to the awesome Dani & Evan Benton, of @bentonhomestead , who are living the dream - they purchased an old akiya on Omishima island for a few thousand dollars, turned it into an AirBnb guest house, and leveraged their new business to secure a visa to live in Japan. But it wasn't - and still isn't - all smooth sailing, honey (bees) and roses, as you'd expect - tune into the conversation to hear their story!
