Japan has nine million empty homes. Most of them are hidden in plain sight β on rural hillsides, at the edge of rice fields, in villages that emptied out a generation ago. Some of them are extraordinary. Century-old farmhouses with hand-cut timber frames, clay tile roofs, and engawa verandas that wrap the whole south side. And a lot of them cost less than a secondhand car. Old Houses Japan is the show that tells you what's actually possible β the buying process, the renovation realities, the government grants most foreigners have never heard of, and the people already doing it. Hosted by David and Victoria, who built the platform because the information didn't exist in English and they were tired of hitting that wall. New episodes every Tuesday.
