Summary
This week, Take and Joey sit down with Tomoa, a Japanese friend, to answer a question we get all the time: "why didn't a Japanese person buy this akiya first?" Tomoa breaks down how kegare shapes Japanese attitudes toward used homes, why rural properties rarely appeal to Japanese buyers, and what foreign buyers need to understand about owning property responsibly in Japan.
