In contrast to our last garage unboxing video, this time around we find almost all treasures! Lots of great "new" in box items from many, many decades past. What will we find? Also, an update about our online vintage shop: we will NOT be using Etsy. We're shifting gears, and still deciding which platform will be best for us. We'll keep y'all posted!

前回のガレージ開封ビデオとは対照的に、今回はほぼすべての宝物を発見しました。 何十年も前からの素晴らしい「新品」の箱入りアイテムがたくさんあります。 何が見つかるでしょうか? また、オンライン ヴィンテージ ショップに関する最新情報: Etsy は使用しません。 私たちはギアを切り替えていますが、どのプラットフォームが当社にとって最適であるかをまだ決定しています。 引き続きお知らせしていきます!

We are two foreigners living in Japan! We received a 6-month Startup Business Visa in cooperation with Imabari city, which then earned us a 1-year Business Manager Visa. This essentially allows us to sponsor our own residency in Japan via our small business: Benton Homestead. We have an akiya-turned-guesthouse and small natural farm. It's been challenging, but nothing is impossible!

Japan has an estimated 10-12 million 'akiya' abandoned houses, and we've purchased * two * of them! The first house was purchased for ¥1 Million ($7,500 USD) and abandoned for 10 years, which we've now renovated into Benton Guesthouse. The second house was purchased for ¥2.8 Million ($18,000 USD) and abandoned for an estimated 40 years. This one was a former 'ryokan' inn, and came with two pieces of nearby farm and forest land, sitting unused longer than anyone can remember. I’m documenting everything.
