My partner and I have lived in this ‘akiya’ house, one of the many vacant houses in Japan. My goal is to share candid insights into life in the Japanese countryside, from house renovations, gardening, and all the other bits of life that squeeze into these old walls. (hint: might include 🐱, 🐒, 🐕 & 🕷️)

A few notes about the animals:
-The cat limps because he is missing a foot. Otherwise, he is a very healthy, well-loved cat owned by one of our neighbours.
-The dog is also very well-loved and sometimes visits during his daily walks.
-The huntsmen spiders are not poisonous.
-The mukade (centipedes) are poisonous (but won’t kill you)
-We do not feed the monkeys or any other wild animals and keep a safe distance at all times
