How can you find a bargain Akiya (abandoned house) in Japan and turn it into a stunning home? Jaya Thursfield has great insights about how to do it! He is a popular YouTuber @Tokyo Llama who shares video insights about his abandoned AKIYA DIY projects, travels and interviews with an international audience.

In this episode, Jaya shares insights and tips from his experience with a traditional Japanese house remodel. He is the first guest in the remodel topic who bought his AKIYA (abandoned house) at auction.

I am so impressed by the amount of work he has done and the beautiful design of the house and garden- it is so hard to have that type of vision for how you want a project to go when you first buy something.


What did you find interesting, inspiring and surprising about Jaya's remodel? I'd love to hear what you think- please add your comments and questions below!
