From California: Thank you so much for the video. The one thing is that I find myself trying to will the video camera to look up rather than down so much. Floors are somewhat interesting but, for me, I prefer to see the whole room, not so much the floor. 🥰🙏

The most shocking part of the tour is how all these large glass walls are single panel? Both towards the street and towards the garden. It cannot be comfortable in cold and hot seasons and super wasteful of energy. In Denmark, every house has energy label. And you would not find single panel windows anywhere, even though better glasses are expensive, people acknowledge the long term saving and environmental impact. I know Steven installed double penal windows for his Kyo Machiya house. Amazing:) I wonder if it is actually uncommon to do? and How much are double or triple panel glass doors in Japan anyways?

Hi! I am your fan! And planning on realising my own dream of buying and renovating old house in Japan! Would you share the renovation cost for this house also? Was it more expensive than the purchase cost of the house?

Hmm Grandpa said with western style you smoke into the lungs. With kiseru you only smoke into the throat. Slightly confused on how that works? Do you just not fully inhale or what? How awesome this 300 year old shop has an online presence.

Thanks for the information on map resources in Japanese. You have almost no accent and I am trying to figure it out. I am guessing archipeligo SEA - e.g. Indonesia or Philippines.

All very interesting. But practically speaking - when one wants to do their due diligence, are any of these data maps available in English?

"Land of the Rising Sun" means nothing to 99.9% of Japanese these days. That is because it is an expression created in China to refer to Japan since Japan is east of China. However, about 90 years ago the west expanded it's meaning to refer to Japan's imperial ambitions and territorial expansion of that time.

One thing ive been think about, how easy/hard would it be to buy an abandoned commercial building in Japan ? Sort of interested in getting a building and using it for something, maybe growing specialty crops in it by using hydroponics. Edit: I got interested in it after a Japanese dude bought an abandoned school and started using it as a hostel/coffee roastery

14:47 "It's hard to imagine" To be fair, id expect a platform as scummy and crap as Twitter/Xitter to have such activities. Just look at how filled it is with bot accounts, Elon Muskrat is sure doing a "fine jobe" dealing with all that (just as good as KZbin is dealing with scams and malware filled ads)

I would add any house built on landfill. Avoid neighborhoods that have names with kanji like 池 (pond)etc, which no longer has an apparent pond present. Landfill plots move MUCH more in an earthquake.

house for free is one thing but then u actually have to keep it and maintain it. there are media like water, electricity, heating etc. apart from obvious land fee or property fee. these properties had their pipes unused for decades so the installations in these buildings as as bad as they can be. probably u would have to replace most of them. the fact that u cannot stay there without the visa for longer than 90 days also doesn't help. it's a clever move from japanese government to fix the problem which instead they would have to deal with (at some point these buildings will be a threat that they can collapse and i assume japan has it's laws that the prefecture or some other official institution is obligated to demolish/dismantle a building regarding this threat).
