Welcome to DaiRea Iku! We’re a Western-Eastern couple sharing our new life and adventures in Japan. 🚴‍♂️🇯🇵 Join us as we go exploring 2up on a motorcycle and renovate an abandoned kominka (akiya) house in Japan!

Our previous adventure was down under but we wanted to experience a place with far more culture than what Australia could ever offer. Japan ticked all the boxes so we picked a location, employed the services of a buyers agent and bought a house sight unseen. We share our house purchasing experience and take time out from the renovations to explore Japan 2up on a Suzuki Vstrom 1000 Adv, uncover magical getaways, local culture, delicious food, and breath taking scenery. We'll show you around and share practical tips for buying an akiya house and motorcycle travel, Japan life and must-see spots—and maybe beyond!
