  • Summary

  • In this episode, Kevin chats with Evan and Dani Benton who have renovated two Akiya (empty homes) on the island of Omishima in Ehime Prefecture in Japan. They have a wonderful website and YouTube channel called “Benton Homestead” that documents their journey. They have renovated these two buildings, turning one into a guesthouse and the other, their home. They are also diving into the world of natural agriculture and bee keeping. They are living in an extremely sustainable way, often using DIY methods to improve their houses, farming, and helping to reinvigorate their local community. They discuss the process of buying and renovating these old homes as well as how they were able to get visas to stay in Japan to complete this project.
