About Misaki
I am a Japanese Akiya (空き家) enthusiast who successfully managed and executed the full restoration of a 1980s Tokyo wooden home. I personally completed traditional Shikkui (lime plaster) application for a full Washitsu room and handled all interior wallpapering.
I directed specialized builders to ensure 2026 seismic compliance while personally sourcing all vintage furniture and kitchen components through Japanese auctions. This house was once abandoned and forgotten, but I saw something beautiful still living inside it.
On this tour, you will meet me at Komazawa Daigaku station and walk together to our home. Get a rare, firsthand look at daily life inside a beautifully preserved 1980s Japanese home. I want to share my personal journey as honestly as I can — the details, lessons, and feelings behind the restoration process.
