I Moved into an Ancient Japanese Tiny-House…

[@maricogan2903]

wonderful fun! When my family was stationed on Guam in the mid 1960s, we traveled to Japan. In Osaka we stayed in a traditional Japanese hotel with "hotsie baths". I am old now and still have vivid memories of the unique beauty of Japan. Most of my family members were blonde with blue eyes and had a lot of attention at train stations. Women touched our hair and admired our eyes like we were from another planet. Even as children, we were taller than the little grannies. They were dressed in traditional kimono with wooden geta shoes. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

[@foxyroxytm]

What a lovely memory ☺️

[@charlie_56]

Nice adventure and memory!

Cash Jordan's full personality comes out in Japan. It's like he's been reborn, or just reinvigorated. Love the heightened humor and energy. (especially watching him struggle to scoot the floor chair up to the table haha).

[@gyllenspetzfamily7993]

Glad he's come home. 😊

[@SL_Derby]

Cash, thank you for your dedication in consistently putting out content. I never thought that real estate videos could be enriching, but yours are! 😊

[@blackflagnation]

Most clothes you buy in Japan aren't pre-washed/shrunk so if you put it in a dryer, it will shrink - a lot. Most homes don't have the space for a dryer, although they do sell washer-dryer washing machines in Japan. They're a bit expensive and kind of large for the average house. We used to have one, but the dryer function wasn't all that great, and it took forever to dry anything. It was faster to hang dry stuff outside.

[@jeanallard3632]

Interesting video! I loved it ❤!

[@Gee-xb7rt]

Dryers are kind of unique to the US, they are also hard on clothes.

[@spiritofanu3112]

That is certainly not true. We have them in abundance here in Canada. I am sure many other countries will say the same. You need to get out more.

[@Gee-xb7rt]

@@spiritofanu3112 more people are using them, still less that 1/2 of Europeans do, its very common in Japan for people have the washer/dryer stack and not use the dryer. Most people recognize they are are a waste of electricity, are hard on clothes, set stains, etc. I think its you that needs to touch grass.

[@spiritofanu3112]

@@Gee-xb7rt then why say something so inane that “dryers are unique to America”? You are contradicting yourself. I lived in Japan for many years as well. It is true a lot of European countries recognize how wasteful dryers are. But a lot of northern countries also use them extensively in winter. I have also travelled to Scandinavia. They are used there in winter.

[@PennyLane13]

I love your Japan vlogs and specifically your appreciation of clever design and of the fine details (like noticing the same pattern etched onto different items in the house). So cool!!

[@CarolinaYankee]

We came back after living in Japan for 8 years and I was so happy to buy my new American dryer & dishwasher for my new house!

[@jacksonmorganfroghin4815]

I've been around the world and the USA is still the best but if I had to live elsewhere it would be Japan. I really enjoyed my time in Yokohama, a suburb of Tokyo. These vlogs take me back.

[@kunzilla]

lol, when cash yells "it's dry!" it reminds me of Frankenstein's "It's alive!" lol

[@jacksonmorganfroghin4815]

[@vitanursantono]

As much as I love the nyc apartments tour. I find this so much more fun and interesting, you gotta try out living in other tiny or unique homes around Japan.

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

This has to be one THE nicest places you have ever taken us to. What a beautiful old house with such stunning details throughout. Thankyou for sharing this with us all.

[@nippolitica]

My Japanese house from 1985 has that same exact tub. It is really, really deep, photos and vide do not do it justice. You can't fully extend, but you are well and truly under water up to your chin--and I'm 5'11.

[@lotusdevi]

EEEk I'm always told never to wheel your bag on the tatami when I'm in Japan...that gave me the shivers...gorgeous home

[@GMartin407]

Yessss love your japan travel vlogs. My dream is traveling to Japan. One day. Until then I'll live vicariously through you.

[@alastairward2774]

I'll probably never go, I've travelled little enough in my own country, I do like these travelogues to take me there instead.

[@user-uo4rf4ez8c]

I miss Japan. Have been there at least 20 times during my tour with the Navy.

[@sunnychick9328]

lol I love how Cash always goes through all the nooks and crannys of the houses he visits. If it were me I'd be going through the drawers and cabinets too 😂

[@uglybetty8747]

Same lmaoooo

[@leslielandberg5620]

I would love to live there, with all the wood and natural surfaces. But also the culture of Japan is intriguing. This is definitely more like it!

[@AlmaWadeCrymsm]

I actually really liked that house. The wood work and such was so nice. I would love to live there

[@chrispycryptic]

I cannot believe that you got so much 7/11 food; Japan has a legendary culinary culture! It really is hard to watch, because it is a truly squandered opportunity!

[@justanotherchannel9815]

I visited Japan for the first time a month ago. We went to Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara. Absolutely beautiful. That Osaka sun stings tho lol but I would 100% move to Japan if I can.

[@jeanmkaufmann]

Cash, your clothes were probably dry within an hour. I rarely use my dryer in the summer. It saves on electricity costs and your clothes smell great. 🙂🇨🇦

[@maverickflint1991]

Hope you had an awesome time while you were there.👍

[@fannycraddock99]

Love that little house. Sadly I would not be able to live there. Sitting and sleeping on the floor at my age is a no-no! I can get down - eventually. However as for getting up .......... Thanks Cash for another great adventure.

[@wandapowell4003]

Same here. I have risers under my bed. Maybe they don’t have arthritis in Japan?

[@XYZ_Vu]

The craftsmanship!!!❤❤❤

[@DHG357]

Just amazed how clean the streets are. And how the Japanese manage living quarters in such a small space. Primo!

[@enricocurcio1610]

The greatness of u having an japanese wife, is that WE can watch this type of videos, that otherwise we would never see because to other vlogers japan is only Tokyo... and that's it

[@userKIGE]

WOW ....7-11 there🤯 Cute house/rental/over Nighter..... 😍🤩😍🤩

[@userKIGE]

Love the Deep bathtubs

[@leechien6]

Not many families have a dryer in most East Asia's countries because we don't need it. But you still can buy it on any appliance stores if you really want it.

[@sarahadkins6315]

I loved living in Japan and Korea and the soaking tubs were heaven.

[@Lyn4Him]

Loved this! Reminds me of my late Uncle's house in Sendai. My mom and I went to visit for 3 weeks. Toward the end there, I would have given anything to have a chair to sit in! lol

[@patriciafuchs5970]

What an amazing house.

[@cobbetlprogrammer1344]

FYI: CASH: I Always use the Nearest Hair Dryer to Blow Dry All of your Clothes! It's 10 Times Faster than a regular clothes dryer! And I don't pay for it! 🙂

[@virginiamoss7045]

Now your eyes match your energy; must have been a comfy mattress though it doesn't look like it would be. Nearly a century old place! So very interesting. All those bicycles everywhere not locked up and no one steals them; what a concept!

[@MaShcode]

Most bikes in Japan have integrated wheel locks and around train stations there’s secure bike parking.

[@anneyday3493]

I was drooling over the antique tatami and ranma, but that knob and tube wiring scared me.

[@chuck62891]

Regarding the no dryer custom, I live in Israel and dryers are not historically common, although growing in popularity. The reason was that the government wanted to reduce energy consumption and limit oil imports. This is the reason that 94% of Israeli homes use solar water heaters.

[@kristilucia3491]

Fun to see you experiencing another culture and country!

[@marysander36]

I noticed that your not playing crash bang with the doors or yanking on things to pull things down or closer. See Cash, you can be gentle! Good thing Charles keeps up your training, so you know when NOT slam things around! 😅. You learned real good! Enjoy your time there!

The toaster dosnt have a lid lol it’s a tray that goes in the bottom to catch crumbs it’s just there to show it’s clean 😊

[@youyong28]

These videos of Japan are my favorites. I have visited Japan twice, including Osaka. I remember that there was an entire city under the ground. This is a great house, although I don't think I could make it my permanent home; it's a little dark.

[@michellejackson7293]

Cash vacation is amazing you showing the world the difference living from America and Japan is incredible

[@zengar2007]

Wow love this video! Hope you got more living in Japan videos to come.

[@magnapearl9506]

Japan is the epitome of cleanliness. Look how clean their surroundings.

[@Kymberlee_W]

Hey Cash, when I moved to Australia (from the USA) in 2005, I was appalled to find that most homes had neither AC nor clothes dryers. Especially where I live in Brisbane it's like Japan, hot and humid for about 10 months of the year. Thankfully I was able to find a home with both of those luxuries. Funnily enough, most of my clothes can't be tossed in the dryer so I have to hang them up but with the heat most things dry faster outside than in the dryer.

[@angela86753]

You are the second KZbinr in as many weeks who has been sharing videos on their trip to Japan. Would love to go there someday

@@ThePomskysPalace the yen dropped so much during the pandemic that it became that much more affordable to be in Japan at least at the moment

[@ThePomskysPalace]

@@j134679 It’s the timing though, all the influencers there during the same week that made me raise an eyebrow. There had to be something going on in Japan everyone went for, too much of a coincidence for there not to be reason behind it.

[@bwolper]

This series in Japan has been great! It is so different and interesting. Keep up the hard work.

[@tanyawales5445]

My father would have loved that house! He was into Japanese culture and got a black belt in karate from a Japanese sensei (teacher). His study had a tiny Zen garden of only black pebbles which is as minimalist as it gets. I too love a lot of things about the Japanese culture especially their gardens and the cuisine which is not over spiced and depends on the freshness of the ingredients for a lot of the flavor.

[@joermnyc]

Old knob and tube wiring, sometimes comes up here in old houses in the states, but it MUST be removed because it’s not grounded properly and there is a huge fire risk if things had degraded.

[@WANDERER0070]

Japan has many fires every winter,those portable kerosene heater dont help either 😢

I have not had the pleasure of going to Japan, But I have had a lot of friends that have. One recently commented that E bikes side outside without locks. Cash you also mentioned the same thing.

I admire your adventurous spirit. Enjoy your new discoveries and continue the great vods!

[@MamaCarola1]

That house with all the original woodwork was amazing! I loved that table in the living room. Sitting on the floor to eat or sleeping on the floor with the traditional mattress is a non starter for me tho. If never be able to get up. Curious how elderly people manage that

[@theoriginalbridgetconnors]

I think (not that I have any actual knowledge) that it's due to sitting down and getting up from the time one is old enough to do that on their own really triggers the muscle memory, so one can sit down and get up off the floor without the problems you or I would have.

[@pheobefink2664]

@bridgetconnors8424 exactly, we are lazy in this country. They have parking lots full of bicycles, and I can't recall seeing any "widebodies" in the streets or stores in your vids.

Hanging wet laundry out to dry on a line was standard in NYC, and the entire world for most of the history of mankind. They even dry in very cold winter weather.

[@mrrobotnica]

The area you stayed in is on the edge of the poorest part of Osaka, cheaper areas with really cheap rent that attracts the rougher side of society. But it’s not as bad as it used to be.

[@alexmarkowski3859]

I got that sense. I thought maybe Cash should be watching out but i was not sure for what

[@j134679]

@@alexmarkowski3859 he's very visibly a foreigner so it's not that bad. Foreign Asians should be more careful though especially if they can be easily mistaken for being Japanese. Criminals generally avoid messing with foreigners as their respective embassies can get involved & it just isn't going to be worth it. Locals are easier targets, with less repercussions. That said, women of any heritage/nationality should be more careful especially if not staying at a hotel. Best to be on a video call with a male family/friend when walking alone at night, or going to your front door. The common advise lately is to buy a cheap pair of obviously male shoes to store at your main entrance, giving an impression that you live with a man. Creeps will be more hesitant to take action this way.

I love Osaka, however the language is so difficult. I was trying to learn it on the NYC subway in my ear buds and kept laughing because it was so hard. Luckily you have your wife as a translator :)

[@j134679]

language is generally easier with immersion. You can start with media too, to supplement lessons. Thankfully there are lots of anime (Japanese cartoons, although topics are most definitely generally rated for adults/adolescents) on the internet with English subtitles. Watch enough of them & you'll start to pick up common words & phrases.

OMG that's tube & post wiring! So dangerous. Makes me wonder if the house is properly grounded.

[@DianaSieger]

Thank you for continuing to post when you and your family are in Japan visiting your wife’s family. Really interesting!

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

I love traditional Japanese homes, but they're costly to renovate *if* they pass a building inspection and you'll usually share walls with neighbours, making for some interesting sounds. Tokyo Portfolio highlighted one recently and I believe the owner spent over $250,000 just on renovation, but it might have been higher. I think it's totally worth it. I'd have tatami mats in all bedrooms (don't they smell nice?) I had a Japanese friend in Toronto who owned a very unassuming wartime home, but inside was a Japanese home, with the exception of the bathroom. This was in 1980 and that's when I became obsessed with Japan and China; I even had a job offer in Hong Kong, but I was having trouble with Cantonese 😂 then my friend, whose family offered me the job, said I'd need to learn Mandarin. That did it, I gave up, felt too overwhelmed and to this day I know I made a mistake not accepting the job. In the early 1990's I started studying Japanese, thinking that when my Son left home I'd be free to travel on my own. Instead I became disabled from my nursing work; the lifts and transfers did my back in and I was diagnosed with Tarlov Cyst Disease. Life's funny, but I'm still going to Japan in 2024! Nothing will stop me, unless I'm ⚰️ 😂
