I'm japanese.There is a lot of negative feedback about foreigners in Japan these days, but I'm on your side for you helping to bring vitality back to Atami town by buying old houses, renovating them, and starting new businesses.
Atami used to be the most popular hot spring tourist destination in Japan, and was the dream destination of the Japanese people, who all traveled to Atami for rest and relaxation. I am very happy to see Atami being reclaimed by foreigners, and I am grateful to them. Thank you ver…
Congratulations, Andrew! Renovating a house is a challenging process that can be lengthy and frustrating. It must feel good to have supportive friends by your side. Meng is already doing such a good job promoting the space. Please keep us posted!
Im so proud of my tokyo btm boy Andrew! I honestly shed a tear seeing you completea multi-year project after watching your channel the last 4 years! My boys are achieving their dreams 😊😊😊
Hi Tokyo Bottoms :hands-yellow-heart-red: Andrew, I'm absolutely blown away at what a wonderful job you did on everything (the purchase, the renovations, the decorating). You should be extremely proud of yourself, your new home is amazing and Beautiful ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
How did the neighbors react to the idea of an Airbnb?
Such a surprise episode and enjoying Meng's OMGs. Love it.
Oh my god it’s gorgeous!!!!!!!! You did such a great job 😭❤️ I LOVE those little capsule beds🥹
AirBnB is the worst city gentrification engine in the world! Thumbs down!
33:33 II'm so glad you kept it. It's gorgeous. So many congratulations Andrew!
WOW! Beautiful transformation. WELL DONE!
The transformation is amazing and I was excited until I heard it was for "vacation rental"... I thought you were going to have an exciting new life in Atami!
Congratulations Andrew! It turned out beautifully. I especially love the front of the house and the entrance.
I love that everyone is into renovating Akiyas now (especially the gaijins) Breathing new life and purpose to these homes, advocating tourism outside of Tokyo and making a profit too! Hopefully one day I'll be able to have an Akiya and renovate it too.
Great job on the Atami house 🏠 ❤
Beautiful! All the hard work surely paid off! Congratulations!!
Congratulations Andrew and GOOD LUCK!!!
2:00 It's sooooo great to see Andrew smile unironically. I'm here for it.
Congratulations, this looks amazing! One question- will you be listing this on sites other than Airbnb? Many people in the states, myself included, stopped using the service because of the political involvement/cooperation of their co-founder Joe Gebbia with d-o-d-g-e in the stat…
The work done is flawless. From the clean concrete work in the front, It all looks so good: grats Andrew🎉❤❤❤
Congrats on your new house, looks great. But people like you are making the Japanese government re-think who can but these houses especially foreigners, and new laws with restrictions are coming I have read that one of the big changes/new law will be the heavy restrictions on for…
Yay congrats Andrew place looks amazing!!! It looks incredible compared to how it first was!! Should cable tie the ac remotes to the wall, those always go missing
Amazing transformation! Congratulations! 🎉
The house is cute! Picking out all the furniture and stuff must have been so much fun too. The thing about being single is that you can have it however you like also. I hope it turns out ok 🎉❤😊
Wow it looks amazing 😍 congrats on your new home 🏡
This was so amazing to watch! It brought back good childhood memories when I used to stay in Okinawa, Japan. Congrats on the renovation!
This house turned out absolutely beautiful! I hope this is super successful for you Andrew! :)
GAG! Congratulations Andrew ❤ It turned out pretty magical. I’d stay there.
26:58 All I heard in those first three notes was ABBA's Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! 😆😂🤣😅
I wish you good luck for your project. Accommodating is no easy business. I used to work in a hotel and people can be nasty. From stealing your stuff, pollute the place beyond imagination etc. especially foreigners, regardless in which country you have your accommodation. But I …
Congrats!!! The place is stunning!!! Best of luck in your future enterprise!!!
Meng was a great choice for doing the review. He's your friend, but he also has no filter. If he doesn't like it, he'll let you know.

I love that there's a fully functional kitchen! When traveling I always go to markets and corner shops and cook for myself. I meet so much more people that way. It's really hard to find accomodation where that actually works. I also love that your house looks so traditional, but…
