I can't believe what you paid. That seems so reasonable compared to other vids I've seen about Japanese real estate. I love your tardis house! It looks so small from the outside angle, but inside there's such clever ways of maximising space. I hope you'll have many happy times in your home

[@nomad7935]

@@anthonydelrey1699 are you really comparing Las Vegas with Tokyo? Tokyo has a population of 40 mil people, Las Vegas is like 3 mil people, that's less than 10% of Tokyo. You should compare with the prices in NYC. You can offer whatever you want, let's see what you get for 215,000 in Tokyo hahaha.

[@BeckBeckGo]

How the hell did they find this space for that price in TOKYO??

[@KoinzellGaming]

This is nothing (In terms of what you could really get in Japan). I mean, if you're willing to live in a city that's an hour away from Tokyo by train, you can find really nice houses that are up to 1300sq ft for about 150k USD (with all the stores you need in a walking distance). The house in this video still has a "Tokyo price" to it. Same is with apartments, you can find apartments slightly outside of Tokyo for like 400USD a month, or if you buy it you could buy one for 60k (+renovate it) or so. Not to mention that Japan has some of the most generous home loan rates you can find - less than 1% annually in a lot of cases. Summary: Japan has some of the most generous housing markets you can find if you're willing to live outside of Tokyo - in some cases you could also get a free house or get money to move in (tho a contract has to be signed that you won't leave) if you don't mind living in a small town in the countryside.

[@marynatividad4891]

Are you citizens of Japan? Or anyone can buy property?

[@wendywestra]

Australian homes in Sydney or on the Coast line with water views are more than double than these prices. How expensive is Food?

[@AngelaSealana]

I don't know how I got here, but I found this house tour! Thank you for an introduction to a Japanese home. As for the cicadas, I grew up in Texas, so I'm super used to them but that is really *really* loud! 😅 How exciting to have such a great home - congratulations!!!

Congratulations on purchasing your new home! 🏡 Purchasing a house is always a huge accomplishment( if home ownership is your goal).

[@billnjune]

Congratulation on the new house! This is no small adventure for Japan. I lived (stationed) in Tachikawa between 1964 and 1966 then moved to Matsumoto until 1974 and married a Japanese girl. We also bought a house on the side of the mountains. I totally feel your delight and excitement. Then because of the fuel shortage (rationing) we were forced to return to the US. We sold the house after 5 years and made a nice profit. My first wife died and I remarried another Japanese girl. We are back in Tachikawa for the first time in 48 years. Tachikawa use to be a dump with the military base but after the base closure in 1977, Tachikawa rebuilt into a modern first class city. Good luck on your new adventure and maybe I’ll see you on the streets as I’ll be around town until November. Bill and Akemi

[@kydeanderic]

Oh nice, quite a ride you have had. I have heard Tachikawa used to be a rough part of town, glad it's nicer now! If you see us say hi! -E

[@stevecriddle]

I can't help feeling that when you eventually sell that place (assuming you ever do), potential buyers will probably ask "why is everything so high?"

[@kydeanderic]

Haha, I wanted the mirror higher but the construction dudes were like "if it's higher Japanese people can't use it"

[@alocino96]

Lol yeah, never thought about this, but it could be a good selling point for foreigners

Another interesting thing is people don’t renovate house in Japan. Houses in Japan don’t count as assets. People usually rebuild the entire house Value doesn’t grow there

Congratulations on the house! Just FYI, the underfloor storage is called 床下収納. You can buy them separately from Yodobashi or from building companies like Lixil. There are even sliding versions so you can push it aside to check the foundation/flooring when needed.

Also, after all of that rural historical houses in Japan - having exactly new modern house in good location is the wisest decision

[@denisegreene8441]

It's not a loft... it's a finished attic with a window. You can install an air circulator from the roof into the ceiling. This will keep the room from creating still air.

Congratulations, what you’ve achieved is no small feat! One item though: I lived in Japan for 10 years, not near any other foreigners, and I’d like to share with you that your Japanese neighbors are really hoping you will sweep up all those dead leaves in your drive and entryway 😂 Best of luck in your new home!

Hi. Congratulation with your new home . it looks nice, and if you are in for it some art or picture will make it nice. I hope you will think about the trouble you might have with the high humidity you have on the loft, and when you dry clothes, it will be so important to get the humidity out. I been living in Asia for years, and i see all the places that get fungus in their homes, and get health problems. So many people struggle with health problem because of humidity. i think you will have a great home there, and i hope you take this as a advice, and not a person that just comes to make a bad attitude. Wish you all the best. Best wishes from Jan in Norway

I love that it's brand new and they were able to modify it to accommodate Eric. Love what you've done with it! I really dig the view of the natures you've got out of the kitchen and Eric's office. I really want to help you guys decorate - not that you need it, but I used to be certified in interior decoration and the walls in there are just screaming for a little color (just as an accent, nothing massive). Love the t-shirt wall and the little dark corner of the kitchen, the whole place just looks great. Thanks so much for the tour and congratulations again on scoring such a great house!
