I am just looking for apartments at this point, but this is still very useful to know! Especially since I will likely be living in antiquated (cheap) housing for my first few years. ありがとうございます！

Beautiful Remodelation!!!

Thank you for continuing to provide information about Akiya houses. 👍👍👍👍👍 & Subscribed!!! ...and all gov-employees, paid by our taxes, just help you to make everything more complicated.

You answered my questions why abandoned houses are cheap and why they're abandoned.

I'm just wondering why these houses were abandoned. What's the real reason? Is it the weather? Is the area often flooded during typhoon season or rainy season since you are close to the river? Is it earthquake prone frequently? 'Just curious..

Northern Japan is where i would move to, more specifically Sapporo

Interesting, the real price is in the taxes :-D how much tax in total (over the 2000 USD parice of the house)? God bless.

Cool, may by God's grace, buy one too that's just 4000 and in great confition. :-) God bless.

I'm so impressed by the quality of those roofs that there's no water leak, but then again not surprised because I know the craftsmanship in Japan is Top Notch.

Thanks for show casing this Akiya house. I hope that you would have told us the price of your house.

Feeling so glad I picked Uruguay as home. We may not have all the trains and skyscrapers, but we have NONE of these natural disasters. Still looking forward to visiting my one of my favorite countries, Japan!

Great video! Currently sitting in a cafe in Nagoya worried about the Nankai trough!

4:19 This is so interesting. I have never heard of anything like this before

4:43 Absolutely stunning! 😍

So, as someone looking to move from Australia to start a business and live in Japan long-term, are you able to help with finding places that are able to be used for home and business, or do I also need to make sure the business visa covers certain factors? I guess I'll be contact8ng the Melbourne consulate general

I wish he had a web store.

really informative

So nicely done 👍. The walk in wardrobe is amazing!

Why nobody processed the thought of placing all the nuclear facilities out at a safe distance into the Sea & Cable the power lines back to the Mainland maybe they could utilize modern micro nuclear technology from nuclear Submarines ehh they are much safer

Maybe do a video covering Japan's Progressive Tax? Apparently the longer you own a property the more tax you pay in Japan

Nice vid, good to see you again. Price rise is relative, inflation has gone up a lot more than the official numbers seem to indicate. If we compare the prices to the change in buying power our money has over time its a very different picture.

Thank for your video

I am interested to buy that one house

How does insurance work there? How much does it cost? Will old houses be insured?

And if none of those 5 areas affect you, you still have to worry about Godzilla, Mothra, and Ghost.

A combination of tradition and modernity in a Japanese home. I really enjoyed it. 💐💌

A lot of people dont address these issues it was the first concern on my husband mind

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. 🥰🙏

Very informative thank you

Do Japanese Government give you money to fix the home

Beautiful video! I been to Kanagawa twice to visit my sister and her family, its so clean and safe even at night we go to the park, no problem. I been to Tokyo with friends that used to work iside the Base.

Is the house on the Mountain looking at the sea.

Do they speak English in Japan, is it hard to understand Or learn the language

Change to English

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.

Why do viewers think you are Japanese? You sure sound kabayan to me. Thanks for your informative videos.

It’s a beautiful house.

If you do not have to be a legal resident (I.e. you can be a tourist) why did the civic akiya bank ask fir your immigration status ID?

Nice, that's just what I was looking for!. Id also avoid the whole west/north coast since I consider the amount of snow that it gets a danger for an old house
