I Moved into an Ancient Japanese Tiny-House… 

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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 😂

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

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.

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

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.

What an amazing house.

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

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

The craftsmanship!!!❤❤❤

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!

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

Fun to see you experiencing another culture and country!

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

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!

Love these little peeks into japanese cities, culture, living :-)

I am loving the Japanese house tours, Cash! Thanks for showing us so many different styles. Why do I get the feeling that you really are trying them out for a real move to Japan? Say it isn't so! New York would not be the same without you!

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

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.

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.

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

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

Cash- Super interesting and fun. You make us all want to visit Japan. Keep going.☮️👏👏👏👏

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 😊

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.

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.

So cool your back in Japan. I'm coming in September.

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. It's a beautiful culture with beautiful people. I really enjoy you having time to explain how folks live in small places. Very cool still love where I live with my horses and animals though in CT..

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

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. 🙂🇨🇦

Hi Cash, I like what you've done with your time in Japan. Wow, your girls are beautiful. Enjoy your time with your family

Fantastic old house. Love the details. Thanks for taking us along!

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!

OMG knob and tube wiring everywhere! 😮😱 You be livin in a tinderbox! 🔥🔥🔥

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

Loving the uploads!

Another great morning breakfast with Cash in Japan❤ it’s a great change to watch you showing us houses in Japan for a change. Hope you’re staying there for awhile for us to enjoy watching .

These are great Cash! Thank you!

I literally just woke up hoping you shared another video ❤❤❤❤ love it . Because America is not the ONLY place to live. Thank you for sharing 🙏

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

this version of your travelogue is the best yet. Descriptions are the bomb

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

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.

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

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!

Tully's cold brew! Nice. 😊

Awesome job cash see you tomorrow.

I knew I could count on you to visit Higashi Umeda,Cash.😂😂😂😂

I love your enthusiasm and ability to move easily around in a foreign environment. Keep us posted.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Hope everything works out 🙏🏾

Looks like a wonderful place in the short term. I am enjoying your travel videos.😊

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

Wow!!! Great house, great location.

So clean in Japan. So unlike the US. Very cool and interesting vlog.

The seemed to have everything that’s needed during your stay. I enjoy these videos and seeing how another part of the country lives.

A beautiful old house. Lovely traditional tatami mats and furniture. Thank you.

Those walls are made out of Lath & Plaster.Still finding it in homes built in the 1940's.

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.

Loved the vlog and loved the house and surrounding area, can't wait for the next one.

Very interesting 🧐. Different!

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

This is an interesting content! 👍🏼

As in the Italian countryside, there are "abandoned" homes for sale, and rehabilitation, for very small sums of money.

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.

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

Keep these Japan videos coming, Cash!!! They're awesome!

I'm now at a crossroads 😉 I busted out laughing with that shot of you inside the tub that looked exactly like a kitchen sink and then you said it.🤣🤣

Great video, thank you ! It 's a nice house !

Cash, you could have just pulled your bedding closer to the outlet!

Beautiful home but otherwise than you telling us it’s 97 years old, the electrical wiring looks like knob and tube which is very very old and now illegal in the US.

Rusty umbrella skeleton 🦴!!! 😂 Very cool video ❤ My brother has a 4 bedroom condo outside of Tokyo and the rooms are small. This place is alittle larger with the upstairs area. Its fun to visit different units to see what works for you! ❤

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

This is 4 Sure Gonna b so Good CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Tuesday😀….

I hope Charles is watching - you’re handling everything so gently!

very interesting series. the fact that most of the furniture is low it would definitely take time getting use too. the neighborhood is compact also, i wonder where the nearest supermarket would be. . .

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

So interesting!!! Thank you!!!

This made me want to go and stay at one of these quaint places and I think I just might! Seems like a great way to relax, recharge and get some much needed "me time" Thanks Cash for such a great video.😀

Glad your in Japan showing us something different. Love this traditional home gives me anime/nerd vibes. I'm not gonna lie, tho the attic gives me horror movie vibes, lol 😂

Woah that looks really cool, loved this video! Slightly behind the times in a few areas though like the filter still allowing people to see in and having to sleep your bed on the floor.

thank you for this video

Really like seeing how people live in different parts of the world, very interesting. Thank you for making these awesome videos!!! 😊👍

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 ⚰️ 😂

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! 🙂

That place is amazing

ONG! That place is beautiful. Love that everything in there looks like a work of art. I would live there in a heart beat. Japan is so clean. They take great pride in keeping it beautiful

I had fun watching this video...thanks for asking...want to go there any where soon...cya

I would absolutely live there! It’s wonderful

Really enjoying your trip to Nipon! Thanks for keeping it real ❤

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

Great To See You In Japan- Thanks- Calif-

I know NYC is dangerous. But I surely love watching you. Hope you come back. 🥰😍
