Minka Summit 2024, our third such event, will be bigger and better than ever! You'll not want to miss our speaker presentations and workshops, panel discussions, Minka Tours, Minka Mall, Friday Night Meet & Greet and Saturday Night Dinner & Keynote Speech!

Meet like-minded foreign residents and Japanese restoring and renovating minka across Japan, as well as those in search of their dream forever home! Learn traditional methods and modern DIY skills! Engage with experienced owners and akiya specialists!

We will be regularly updating information about the event, including directions to the event and news about speakers, Minka Mall booths, and nearby accommodations, on the Kominka Japan website (kominkajapan.org) and on the Kominka Japan Facebook page.

By popular demand, Minka Summit 2024 will be held once again at Sanson Tori Koryu no Mori, a one-hour drive from downtown Kyoto City, in the minka-dotted mountains to the north. Google Maps location is 6Q9J+XM Kyoto, Japan. The event will be offered in both English and Japanese, with language support offered in both languages.

Please note that tickets for the Saturday Night Dinner & Keynote Speech (by esteemed scholar Azby Brown) is a separate charge should you wish to attend. This event will likely sell out, so we encourage you to buy your ticket online as soon as possible.

The Friday Night Meet-and-Greet is also a separate ticket this year, but will likely not sell out, and tickets for that event will be available at the door.

We're enhancing and upgrading Minka Summit in many areas, and will be offering a few new and exciting events -- you'll not want to miss it!
