Meet the People Behind Old Houses Japan

from The Old Houses Japan Podcast · host The Old Houses Japan Podcast

Before the properties, the grants, and the renovation budgets, who actually built Old Houses Japan, and why?Host David sits down with his co-founder and wife Victoria to tell the whole story. A teenager told no by her mom who spent six years making Japan happen anyway. A guy who went from Yu-Gi-Oh cards to the banking world before finding what he was actually meant to be doing. A proposal at the Fushimi Inari gates when the crowd cleared and the camera was already in her hand. Two years finding the right business idea, eight months of visa applications, and a celebration with In-N-Out burger in a dark Los Angeles bedroom. Three years to close their first property in Kyoto. And a moment in the quiet Japanese countryside that made all of it make sense.This is the episode before the episodes. Personal, honest, and the clearest explanation of why OHJ exists and why it's built the way it is.
