Japan is home to over 8 million vacant properties—a number that’s rising. Rural towns are aging. Buildings are abandoned. And yet, each empty home is a dormant opportunity waiting to be reborn. The government is offering unprecedented support. The yen is at a multi-decade low, and cultural tourism is thriving.
We are a collective of designers, technologists, and entrepreneurs with deep roots in Japan and Hong Kong. Through our on-ground team and established local partnerships, EXP.&JP offers a plug-and-play platform for akiya revitalization.
We don’t just flip properties.
We turn forgotten homes into story-rich destinations—eco-minimalist stays, creative retreats, and regenerative community hubs.
“Our team has already built award-winning sleep capsules (SLEEEP), mobile retreats (FUUUN), and story-based travel games (PLAAAY) across Asia. With EXP.&JP, we apply that same proven methodology to regenerate Japan’s countryside—asset by asset, story by story.”
Foreign capital goes further in Japan than ever before.
Visa, subsidy, and lease support for rural development.
Post-COVID rebound, cultural and nature-based travel rising.
