Why we built Takara?

In Japan, 宝 (Takara) Means Treasure


Takara Homes - hidden treasure houses

Because hidden treasures shouldn’t stay hidden.

Because empty homes deserve a second chance.

Because the cheapest Akiya the ones with the most potential shouldn’t be the hardest to find.

We built Takara to make it simple to discover, explore, and bring these homes back to life. With thousands of vacant houses scattered across Japan.

We saw an opportunity to create something meaningful bridge between people and the possibilities waiting behind every forgotten door.

But it’s not just about finding a house. It’s about knowing what comes next. That’s why we’re not stopping at just listings. We’re working to show you approximate renovation costs upfront, helping you plan and dream without fear of the unknown.

We’re a small team of three, fueled by big ideas and a passion for making things happen. We believe every house tells a story, and every story deserves to be heard. Whether you’re searching for a peaceful retreat, a creative project, or a new way of life, we’re here to make the journey as easy—and as exciting—as possible.

At Takara, we don’t just see abandoned homes; we see opportunities to build, restore, and dream. We see new beginnings for people, communities, and the places they call home.

This is more than just a platform—it’s a movement to rediscover Japan’s hidden treasures and create a future filled with possibility.

So, whether you’re ready to take the leap or just starting to dream, we’re here for you. Together, we can turn empty spaces into something extraordinary.
