Just Japan Podcast

In this episode, we revisit Evan and Dani Benton from the Benton Homestead on Omishima Island in Ehime, Japan. They have purchased two akiya (abandoned homes) and turned one into the Benton Guesthouse. We first met them in episode 219. They have done so much since then. We chatted about their farming on the island, how their abandoned home renovations are going, beekeeping, appearing on American television and much more. This is another great episode for anyone dreaming of buying and renovating an old home in Japan.    You can learn about everything Evan and Dani are doing here: https://bentonhomestead.com/ Follow me on Social Media:  Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/madformaple.bsky.social Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/justjapanstuff/ X: https://twitter.com/MadForMaple Instagram (travel and life): https://instagram.com/jlandkev
