A Singaporean friend decided to buy a kominka (traditional house) a 5-minute drive up the road from Ryunohara. It comes with 916sqm (9,860sqft) of land, and at US$10,000 it works out to be about US$1 per square foot. Come for the house tour!

About Ryunohara: Ryunohara is a tea and bee farm in progress. We're nestled deep in the mountains of Ryujinmura, Wakayama Prefecture. The 2 farmhouses on the property are 60 and 120 years old. We will use natural farming techniques, so no tilling, no fertilisers, pesticides, and no weeding. A farm-to-table cafe is in the works.

I'm also from Wakayama, livingin the US. The place has beautiful shorelines. Someday please introduce their gorgeous ocean side of the prefecture and sacred mountains such as Nachi and Koya.

Aloha, I have been watching your video's for a few months now and really enjoy them. Thank you! My great grandmother is from Mirozu Wakayama and lived in a tiny fishing village. I went there with her when I was 10 years old and am planning to take my adult children there in 2025 along with my sister and mother. I can hardly wait until we get to Japan again and visit a remaining aunty in Mirozu and cousin in Osaka. I remember loving Wakayama the best as a child because of how clear the water was and the limpets I love to eat were plentiful. I ate sooo much I broke out in a rash. 😂 I love to see what you're doing in your little world in Japan. It's so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

Great video, I love Japan! Here in the U.S.A we have septic tanks too, we have ours emptied every 3 yrs & inspection, our septic size is based off how many bedrooms you have, I think urinals are a great idea, but honestly we had all boys so they would go outside in the woods pick a tree & pee, I was ok with that, maybe a little jealous 😉 P.S. I subscribed, great channel!

Oh! The septic tanks here have to be inspected by the prefectural government twice a year to ensure the discharge is clean and they have to be emptied once a year.

If you were deciding to spend on upgrading why not upgrade to a green hydrogen fueling supply for hot water and heating? A small wind turbine with a combination of solar paneling could generate enough energy to provide adequately for off grid living. You certainly get enough for your money in rural Japan.

How about the deed of sale, isn’t it mandatory for it to be accompanied by the detailed house and plot plans, as well as their entry in the land registry at the town hall?

@Ryunohara
@Ryunohara 2 жыл бұрын
Hi! The property tax here is 1.4%, so it will be about US$140 per year. The other upkeep costs are for electricity, water, gas and internet. Electricity and water are almost zero if the house is unoccupied, but gas is about ¥2,000/month and internet is almost ¥7,000/month.
