After travelling the world for 4.5 years searching for somewhere to call home, we bought a $22,000 abandoned farmhouse in the Japanese Alps.
This is Week 2 of our renovation journey.
In this episode we:
🏡 Buy our first car in Japan as foreigners
🔨 Rip up decades-old flooring
😲 Discover hidden surprises inside the house
⛰️ Explore our local ski resort
🛒 Experience everyday life in rural Japan
We'll be documenting every renovation, every cost, every mistake and every surprise as we transform this forgotten farmhouse into our dream home.
