In Japan, “akiya” (空き家) refers to vacant homes that have been abandoned due to a growing phenomenon driven by demographic shifts and economic changes. Decades of low birth rates, rapid urbanization and an ageing population have gutted rural areas, which has left many traditional houses empty. Often, heirs inherit these properties but cannot afford their upkeep or renovation
