The hosts

Co-founder & host

David Lake

David moved to Japan in 2019 chasing a single Niigata farmhouse listing. Five renovations later he's still chasing them. Carpenter, narrator-in-chief, and the show's worst-kept secret kettle hoarder.

Co-founder & host

Victoria Lane

Victoria runs the data side: scraping akiya banks, mapping grants, and translating municipal forms nobody else wants to read. She brings the receipts; David brings the stories.

Brand assets

Cover art is ready now; the rest of the kit drops on launch day. Please don’t recolour or stretch the wordmark. The accent blue is #0b74fa.
