About this episode
The hosts, Take and Joey, reflect on their first 10 days living in a cheap abandoned house in Japan. They discuss their experiences and challenges, such as the need for DIY renovations, assimilating into the local community, and adapting to Japanese culture. They also compare their property to a more expensive, move-in-ready option they considered in another area. They emphasize that this adventure is suitable for people who have a deep love for Japan, are ready for some rough living conditions, and are willing to make an effort to connect with the local culture. They discuss the potential for future opportunities in the area and their upcoming plans.
