The architecture and materials are beautiful.

Mindblowing renovation, thank you for sharing! I am curious, do you have a video where you go in more detail on the costs of the renovation/tips and tricks/lessons?

Just Beautiful. EXCELLENT JOB.

Motte itu uchi wa doko ni imasuka

Youre lucky you dont live with a western woman, she would leave you right away if you kept your house at 8 degrees all winter😂

Been enjoying your videos since you first bought the house.👍🏻 I have found something similar in size to yours and it's really beautiful One weird problem. I'm 1.93m. What on earth can I do about the screens without having to change the entire structure of the property and certainly not worth the budget of doing so ....

Not seen snow for 7 years in uk 🇬🇧

I think you have become quite the Handyman from what i can see

Peaceful place!

What a beautiful home your family has built. Really enjoyed watching all of talented artisans working at their crafts. You've become a pretty accomplished woodworker, yourself.

Very interesting video. Your house is very beautiful.

sakura wood burning for heating, omg!!!

beautiful house, but it could use a traditional "kachelofen" like many German houses have.. It would suit very nicely, with Japanese tiling...

cette maison est très bien ventilée. vouloir l'isoler selon les critères des maisons modernes ou de la vie occidentale est largement STUPIDE. les maisons traditionnelles japonaises sont conçues selon un mode de chauffage à l'inverse des concepts actuels. on chauffe du centre vers la périphérie on ne chauffe que l'environnement immédiat des personnes là où elles sont et la vie hivernale s'organise de façon concentrique à partir du centre le plus chaud. les personnes sont soigneusement habillées de plusieurs couches de laine et de soie pour être le plus isotherme possible. Une table avec une très large couverture circulaire isolante ( genre duvet capitonnée) est au centre de la pièce la plus conviviale et sous la table et la couverture il y a un foyer dans le sol avec des pierres chaudes ou un foyer de braises sécurisées( qu'on peut remplacer au jourd'hui par un petit chauffage à ventilation lente et faible puissance) chacun s'installe à son aise autour de la table sous la couverture et le partage de la convivialité se réalise avec le respect et le silence nécessaire de la vie à la japonaise. l'hiver est un moment de convivialité et d'intimité particulier. cette façon de chauffer l'espace est conviviale et très économique. seule la cuisine lorsqu'elle est en action est un autre endroit chauffé par l'effet des moyens de cuisson. dans toute l'asie le concept traditionnel de chauffage est pensé comme cela et pas qu'au japon mais aussi jusque dans l'himalaya au tibet et en mongolie aussi. la meilleure façon de rénover cette maison sur le plan du chauffage est de restaurer ou créer un chauffage par le sol type ONDOL en respectant l'ordre des choses chauffer le centre de façon prioritaire puis en rayonnement vers l'extérieur.

👍👍👍

It came out fantastic. I wish my garage/workshop looked that good.

That looks great. As a custom home theater tech I crawled under many houses. It looks too clean considering there are local termites. I suspect the area and/or wood has been treated. That's good news as it's working. Just make sure you keep wearing a good quality mask/breather when going in there. Wash your clothes after as well. Thanks for sharing your family's adventure.

Reminds me somewhat of the LC6 table by Corbusier,,,, except in wood .Nicely Done!..

It would be a lot cheaper to put extra sliding doors on the inside rather than replacing all the windows . With wood and kerosene fuel the house needs to breathe .

Eye protection. Hearing protection sir. Other than that, you are very courageous to take on this big project. Congratulations.

I lOVE all the older tradesman and their skills. Beautiful!

Hallo! Ein sehr schönes und gemütliches Haus, modern und traditionell👍 Kieselgur und Osmo sind super Produkte👍 LG aus 🇩🇪

150,000.000 yen later...😮

Reduced playback speed by half and still it is in fast-motion! Not to say it wasn't an amazing project, and so much work. Enjoyed seeing the work of those carpenters and the unique materials and designs.

An expensive way to go but no denying that the end result was fantastic.

Joinery is just breathtaking except at the end.

貴方達は日本の風景や古民家"和モダン"を大切に思っていますね RESPECT❤そして感謝❤ 私達も美しい日本を維持できるよう頑張ります それは自然な風景、四季、文化、建築も含まれます

👍❣

It's huge

Why they made houses impracticlly, i dont understnd .

Man, you answered all the questions and more rattling around in my scone over whether to buy or not, and whats really involved...great video and thanks for your knowledge

Magnifique mon rêve ❤

Excellent thing Just one thing The fireplace is too small and does not match the sanctity and beauty of the place

I heard that Japanese people are very strict with noise,. I wonder if you have any experience with that?

I would have made a pebble bed socket under the first layer of logs to avoid earth contact.

The craftsmanship and labor this father and son team built this house with, practically by themselves, takes one's breath away. I always have been drawn to the Japanese culture and society. As an artist, I relate to their sense of minimalism and balance. It's too late now, but I wish I had visited this country when I was younger, but as it is I have to be content with watching KZbin videos lol.

Thank you for preserving this gorgeous house. It is just breathtaking art… The music in this video is beautiful, please share the name of this piece.

What a beautiful cozy fire. I bet those cherry logs make the house smell sweet.

You put your love into this old lady and brings her back nicely love everything about it

Beautiful home

Those interior beams just being tree trunks was cool

Your home is beautiful and it looks so peaceful there.

Hola me gustaría. Que mostrara más - Par ver asta que la termines esta casa hermosa gracias 🖐️🙏🙏🇨🇴

a laser level is just a genius tool.

2:14 - instead of double glazing, a first step could be to take thick curtains.

well our 60y old house made out of bricks (60cm) + no heating and tiny windows...its around 5degs even when its -10degs outside. water inside start to freeze when there is -20 for a long time like 3 weeks or more. whats rare here lately.

It may be counterintuitive but as neat as you stack wood it is easier by far to help moisture run off if you put the curved side of the wood always on top so even blown snow❄ or side rain🌬 or even humidity condensation💧 will run downward.

Keep those old windows and make a greenhouse.

I grew up in northern Maine USA on the Canadian border and in January −20°F was normal. In 1968 or 69 we had a −31°F in February, but that's still considered normal. When I saw all the gaps with the air leaking oit gave me a lot of things I hate you because I can feel the cold air coming in. Slow glad you're fixing them because you will be a lot more comfortable afterwards.

Awefully quiet buddy?
