YukiHomes Presents... Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/yukihomes-presents Buying a home in Japan sounds like a fantasy until you meet the people who actually make it happen. YukiHomes Presents is a show about Japan... its houses, its regions, and what it really takes for a foreigner to own a piece of it. From the snow country of Hokkaido and Nagano to the cities, coasts, and small towns in between, it's a look at the country through the eyes of the people who help others put down a stake in it. Every episode goes deep on one thing. Sometimes that's property: what an akiya is and why old Japanese houses sell for the price of a used car, how a foreigner actually buys and renovates a home, which regions are worth it and which are hype. Sometimes it's everything around the houses: the food, the seasons, the onsen towns and ski hills, the design and craft, the culture, and the parts of doing this that are harder than anyone admits. Hosted by Nick and Derek, co-founders of YukiHomes, and Grant (YukiHomes PR & Media Lead). Along the way you'll meet the builders, guides, shop owners, and buyers who know this country better than any guidebook. No top-10 travel lists. Just honest conversations about Japan, and what it takes to own a piece of it. New episodes every other week. www.yukihomes.com www.nipponhomes.com © 2026 Senile Hog Productions 92f8428a-16cc-542d-8ba4-05889c166174 yes en Mon, 03 Aug 2026 08:00:11 -0400 Mon, 03 Aug 2026 08:02:06 -0400 http://www.yukihomes.com/podcast https://img.transistorcdn.com/AfGN8oT1fIDrhtkehOntB7G8ppFCDF--kr1OWT4jyMA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hYzkw/ZWZiZDEyZmI3OGI4/NTIyYWJmNzQ3ZDJh/ZTY4Yy5wbmc.jpg YukiHomes Presents... http://www.yukihomes.com/podcast episodic YukiHomes Buying a home in Japan sounds like a fantasy until you meet the people who actually make it happen.
