The Tokyo Llama YouTube channel has received over 16 million views since it released its first video in 2019.

It tells the story of how we found, bought and renovated the akiya that has now become our home.

As with all homes like this, the work is never complete, and I continue to make videos showing the ongoing progress of the house, garden and sheds, as well as the occasional visit to other people’s renovations.
