How often are new homes added?
We update our listings weekly with newly available akiya homes from across Japan. Members get notified as soon as they’re live.
Do I have to live in Japan to sign up?
Nope! We welcome members from all over the world. Whether you’re planning to move, invest, or just dreaming for now, you’re invited to join.
Can I really get a house in Japan for free?
Yes—but it’s not always as simple as grabbing the keys. Some towns offer zero-yen homes to new residents, others offer heavy discounts or renovation subsidies. We guide you through the fine print so you know what to expect and how to qualify.
Is FreeAkiya.com part of Old Houses Japan?
Yup! FreeAkiya.com is powered by the same team behind Old Houses Japan, a trusted resource for real estate and relocation services across Japan. We built this platform to focus specifically on the most affordable housing options.
