Japan Has 9 Million Empty Houses NOBODY Is Allowed to Touch

Japan Has 9 Million Empty Houses Nobody Is Allowed To Touch 👉 Subscribe for more forgotten Japan:    / @hollow-japan   Japan has nine million abandoned homes. Some sell for less than five hundred dollars. Most have everything still inside. The dishes, the clothes, the calendar stopped at a particular month. And hundreds of thousands of them cannot legally be sold, given away, or even entered. Not because of what's inside them. Because of who owns them. This video covers the full story behind Japan's akiya crisis — the Japanese term for "empty house" — from the economic bubble that built these towns at the peak of Japan's wealth, to the 1991 crash that hollowed them out overnight, to the inheritance laws that have frozen entire streets in legal limbo for decades. Including the city of Yubari, which went from 120,000 people and a thriving coal industry to fewer than 8,000 residents and a municipal bankruptcy that shocked the country. Japan's population recorded more deaths than births by over 800,000 people in a single year. The houses are not going anywhere. The people are. Hollow Japan covers abandoned places, ghost towns, and the hidden stories behind Japan's empty spaces. #akiya #japanabandoned #hollowjapan
