Who am I ?

こんにちは everyone! 😊 I'm Kento, a half-Japanese who grew up in Japan, spending my childhood in a traditional Japanese home. My Japanese grandfather, a former real estate agent, passed on to me his passion for Japan's homes and countryside, a passion that has stayed with me throughout my life.

As the years went by, I became a software developer. But no matter where life took me, I always found myself drawn back to the quiet villages, hidden mountain homes, and the beauty of Japan. That's when I realized this wasn't just a passion: it was something I wanted to share with the world.

Today, I've combined my background in technology with my deep knowledge of the Japanese real estate market to create Houses of Japan. My goal is simple: to make owning a home in Japan accessible to people from all over the world, regardless of their budget or experience.

For me, this project is much more than a website and social media. It's a way of preserving a part of Japan that is slowly disappearing. Every abandoned home has a story, every village has a history, and every property deserves the chance to become someone's dream again.

Whether you're searching for a peaceful mountain retreat, a traditional countryside home, or your first investment in Japan, I hope Houses of Japan helps you take that first step.
