My name is Tomas James, and I turned 28 on March 17, 2025. Since I was young, I’ve dreamed of having a place in Japan—a peaceful retreat where life feels simpler. But I don’t want to keep that dream to myself. I want others to experience it too, even if only for a short time.
Life hasn’t been easy. When I was 16, both of my parents passed away, and everything changed overnight. I had no time to grieve. No safety net. I had to jump straight into work just to survive. While other kids were thinking about college, I was worrying about rent, bills, and keeping food on the table. There was no time for dreams, only survival.
Years passed, and I kept pushing forward. But deep down, I always held onto the idea of Japan—a place that represents simplicity, peace, and a fresh start. Now, I want to turn that dream into reality, not just for myself, but for others too.
I’m crowdfunding to buy and renovate homes in Japan, transforming them into affordable holiday stays that offer people a chance to experience Japan without the sky-high costs. Whether it’s someone like me, who never got the chance to travel young, or someone looking for an escape from the stress of daily life, I want these homes to be welcoming, comfortable, and affordable.
And because I believe in giving back, I want to reward those who support this dream:
Backers who contribute £1,000+ get 10 free nights and 60% off for life.
Backers who contribute £500+ get 5 free nights and 40% off for life.
This isn’t just a business venture—it’s a passion project built from hardship, resilience, and a desire to create something meaningful. If you believe in this dream, I’d love for you to be part of it. Let’s make affordable getaways in Japan a reality!
