Just Moved In – A Tour inside an Italian Family’s Japanese Home in Northern Kyoto
Stefi and her family decided to buy a traditional Japanese house in Kyotango, the northern part of Kyoto prefecture, as their vacation home. They finished the purchase in 2023 and have been spending many months inside their new home. I had a chance to drop by for lunch this summer to see how everything is.

Wow. Italian family living in Indonesia with a holiday home in Japan. Sounds like an interesting story… Too bad we couldn't hear more about it.
Where have you been I've been waiting for you to make new videos it doesn't have to be on entirely about renovations and stuff like that I'm interested and I'm so many other people are interested where are the good deals for simple renovation homes in Japan so keep up the good😊😊😊
Last night I harvested from my garden to make pasta sauce. I would love to taste her sauce and get her recipe; I bet it's amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
My wife is Japanese and we’ve been married for 15 years. Although we reside in Japan, I’m currently working in the US saving money to buy an akiya or kominka.
So cool!
Italian family that lived in the Boston, moved to Indonesia and bought house in Japan. There is definitely was good story for telling
I’m looking for a kominka in Miyazaki prefecture with a thatched roof if you want a new client 😊.
Is there any ways to stay permanently in Japan for foreigners who do not speak japanese?
Lovely house!
Hi, I am a Japanese native of Tango and with an Italian wife. We have recently bought a renovated traditional Japanese house in Kobe and would love to get in touch with this Italian family. Is there any way of doing so?
Thanks for sharing. I'm sure this family has quite the interesting story.
Thanks for sharing, I have seen many akiya in Kyotango when searching online to get more insight as to what is available and the prices, I would love to know what they paid for this property and more details on the purchase etc, do you plan to include more details in future videos ?
What a drop-dead gorgeous house! I just love that green colour on the walls. It is nice that you kept many of the original items that were once loved and used by the original owners.
I do wonder how they get permissions to live in Japan like this. I would have thought you'd need a work visa, relevant job, etc.
