My $6000 Ski House in Rural Japan

Documenting my story of buying, renovating and living in my home in Japan. I share what I learn along the way, including mistakes, wins, and everything in between. This playlist also gives a look at daily life in rural Japan, right in the middle of one of the country’s snowiest and most well-known ski areas.

Currently Playing: Japan Business Visa Just Got Harder — 2025 Update

Japan just changed the Business Manager visa. The requirement went from ¥5 million to ¥30 million. In this video I explain what the visa is, what changed in 2025, what this update is trying to prevent, and what it means if you’re already under the old rule. This update could affect a lot of people thinking about moving to Japan to start a business or stay long term. Excited to book tours this year! ❄️ Orija Tours & Merch www.orija.me 🇯🇵 Japan living & property consultations www.mattguy.net ☕️ Shout me a Myoko Coffee www.ko-fi.com/mattguy 🗺️ My Travel Map & Guide www.rexby.com/im.mattguy/japan
