Ep. 71– Matt Ketchum, co-founder of AKIYAZ

What do you get when you mix punk rock, Emperor Go-Daigo and the rise of abandoned property in rural Japan? Meet Matt, co-founder of AKIYAZ, a real estate brokerage and Akiya lifestyle services firm helping clients purchase an Akiya (abandoned property) in Japan’s countryside as well as helping connect to the local community to ensure a seamless integration to rural Japan life. Post-Covid, the rise of investing and purchasing Akiya in Japan has been on the rise and I was curious to what this is all about. Matt’s once hobby turned business brought me to a world that I didn’t know existed; just like an underground music scene.
