About the channel
Hello! My name is Jaya, I live in southern Ibaraki, just an hour out of central Tokyo, with my wife and our twin boys. In this channel I'm documenting the process of buying and renovating an abandoned Japanese farmhouse. I'll also do some videos where I visit other renovations here in Japan, as well as videos on related topics. I'm originally from Australia, though we lived in London, UK, for about 11 years, until 2017.
