Congrats to Mr and Mrs Peter. View of Mt Fuji from the deck is spectacular indeed. Too bad the electricity pole is blocking it a little.

[@shumatsuopost]

The view is truly spectacular!

[@robmarsh2217]

Excellent! Congratulations!!Thankyou for the advice.Really appreciated,will listen again.

[@shumatsuopost]

You're welcome - glad you enjoyed it!

[@Friskyhorton]

Peter is a lovely knowledgeable man, thank you.

[@shumatsuopost]

He really is!

[@InternetXplorer]

The couple selling this place are really nice 👍

[@shumatsuopost]

They really are!

[@speaksthis]

So true.

[@hulkhulk5141]

Peter and his wife are absolute ballers , all properties are in heavyweight division. Respect

[@TravelAbventuresUnbound]

I was denied permanent citizenship after 15 years in Japan because I was two days late for a tax payment.

[@RumMonkeyable]

Congrats, Peter and Mrs. Peter! Moral of the story.......do your homework. 👍👏❤😍🥰

[@shumatsuopost]

Thanks for watching!

[@Dazzman170]

What a beautiful property and setting. Congratulations to Peter, I'm sure we have crossed paths before (currently a Shanghai Resident).

[@shumatsuopost]

It's amazing!

[@speaksthis]

Technically, it is not an "Akiya". It is rural, but not abandoned.

[@jamesricks]

空家 is “open house” or vacant house. Doesn’t have to be rotted and forgotten

[@speaksthis]

@@jamesricks - My house is vacant everyday while the occupants go to work.

[@rejoiceblossom9225]

[@sonicase]

nice view of fuji🗻...seems like it would get quite cold there though

[@saangbahk9447]

Mt. Fuji still alive like Sakurajima. Near Onsen area is so wonderful but....

[@inquisitvem6723]

I’m surprised that many Chinese investors haven’t snatched up all the properties in Japan unless Japan has some restriction on Chinese foreign investment?

[@ThinkingX]

Shu san, It was an amazing video, thank you. Fujisan is just breathtaking as is the fact that it’s an active volcano. When doing your interview of the previous owners and your real estate colleague the importance of culture was highlighted as was language for those who may want to own a home in Japan. For this home you are in the presence of a true cultural landmark and one of great spiritual significance. I’m sure the new owners will learn and enjoy all that Fujisan has to offer in their new wonderful home. You’re doing great work in helping others enjoy a new home and everything that Japan has to offer. Best, Jeff

[@shumatsuopost]

I appreciate your insight! Comments like this encourage me to keep going! Thank you.

[@ThinkingX]

@@shumatsuopost You’re welcome Shu san. Have a restful Golden Week. I’ll be in Tokyo in May starting next week, and will plan on visiting some properties. Be well.

[@karimoore106]

What a beautiful place to live!

[@shumatsuopost]

The Mt. Fuji view is amazing!

[@hhspore]

3 words : Green with envy.......

[@KoguryoKid]

This is interesting to watch, but for a long time I've predicted that the day is coming when Japan will not even be able to PAY foreigners to do this and even come to Japan to live. If something sounds too good to be true....that's usually what it turns out to be.

[@speaksthis]

Japan would be wise to keep the strictest immigration policies possible. Yet, it seems they are loosening up, without regard for what that will mean. Bringing in South Asians to 'man" cash registers at three different Family Mart's 100 meters from each other really isn't necessary. You have the crowd who are pro-migration, seemingly let in anybody, and they are often the "Green" crowd at the same time. Never mind in their minds that bringing in people who consume at a much lower rate than they will in Japan is going to create more "carbon". They're rather confused. Japan's population is rapidly declining and projected to be about 80m. in 2050. If you buy in Japan you better select a property very high on "Location, Location," if you plan to rent it out. If you're living in it yourself and have a reason to stay, then no issue, most likely. However, with population decline you absolutely must select wisely if you plan to rent out. I see hundreds of empty houses nearby me, and I am in a major metropolitan area.

[@WhatsupSan]

wow so cool!

[@sherlockhomes9919]

Omg! It's in the middle of no where. 😂😂

[@inquisitvem6723]

If a house was built before 1981, and renovated recently like 2020, is it considered earthquake proof #6 or #7?

[@beefortytree]

Hey how much if your available would it cost to do translation service on contract day like you did for Peter ?

[@BenjiSun]

Are sellers of akiyas better than landlords in regards to anti-foreigner attitudes? I had a hell of a time looking for a company that will help me rent a property because so many even English speaking agents are on the side of landlords and refuse to give a reason (but it's obvious) why landlords knew they're renting to a foreigner but suddenly refuse to rent when they find out i have a Chinese last name.

[@shumatsuopost]

It depends. But that's where we come in so that our clients don't have to deal with such sellers.

[@robmarsh2217]

Ive been looking online at akiyas!

[@esternakada7160]

if i can buy how abt the payments for taxes ? and another additives payments ?

[@petersunwoo]

I need representation buying a house near ski and lake North of Osaka.

[@smegoz]

Peter loves a word salad doesn't he? :D

[@TravelAbventuresUnbound]

Why buy a house in Japan if you do not have permanent residency, which takes 10 years.

[@majeedsorbujane458]

Question, I can't wait to see a reply for this.

[@shumatsuopost]

Why not? Peter and his wife visit Japan very often.

[@TravelAbventuresUnbound]

@@shumatsuopost Given how homogenous and xenophobic the Japanese are, I am surprised they let Gaijin Tourists do this

LoL. Nope, you can get 2-3 year PR if you qualify. Extend for two more years and apply for citizenship. Not much different from Canada.

Amazing property ! And the price,,😊

A house next to an active volcano 😅

[@tl1533]

The house is only 80K. It sounds like it is a pocket of change for him if volcano wakes up.
