We build and grow online businesses that help people discover, connect with, and live alongside Japanese culture.
The guide to finding and buying affordable property in Japan. Covering akiya vacant homes, rural retreats, and the real process of purchasing as a foreigner — with candid interviews from people who've already done it.
An iOS app for discovering, rating, and remembering every matcha you try. Scan any tin — even Japanese-only labels — to instantly identify it, log tasting notes, build a wishlist, and follow reviewers whose palate you trust.
Yahata Ventures was founded in 2023 with a simple idea: build digital products that help people discover, connect with, and live alongside Japanese culture.
From finding an affordable home in the Japanese countryside to discovering the perfect cup of ceremonial matcha — everything we build is rooted in a genuine love for Japan.
Small, intentional, and built for the long term.
