Merry Christmas! My present to all of you is a brand new vid -- do you want me to do more affordable home videos?

@marijusofficial Год назад

Definitely do it,Merry Christmas!

@Vald3x Год назад

Yes please!

@tokyobroll Год назад

Merry Christmas! I enjoyed this video, but I think showcasing homes in this price range in rural areas/small towns/destinations (your ski lodge video!) would be more inspiring from a lifestyle perspective. Love having a Mega-Donki nearby, but I think most Western viewers would take a home with a ski slope or a beach-town vacation home for the same price any day!

You should review a Hinokiya house. All their houses have central air and can have a garage. Both are very rare in Japan (and Hinokiya is about the same price as a normal JP Builder). We planned a 2500sqft house with 4 bedrooms, 1 office, giant walk-in closet, giant kitchen and family room, 2 toilets, 1 shower for $325K designed and ready to be built. Included the land too and close to Chiba Station. Was literally the day before signing the contract when my work reneged on working outside the US. 😭

@ETamJP Год назад

Was there an advance payment that had to be made in order for the house plan to be drawn up, and can you talk about what happened after the remote work talk failed then? Did you have to give up the plan and return to the US?

@DadCanInJapan Год назад

Just to mention that laundry detergent in Japan is specifically designed to clean in cold water. When I was working at the P&G Asia HQ (Kobe), this is what the R&D department were working on. Also there are good microwave ovens that also double as conventional ovens. That is what I roasted my turkey in for the holidays.

@j134679 Год назад

Wait does this mean I can import Japanese detergent from P&G if I want to disable my washing machine's heating?

@DadCanInJapan Год назад

@@j134679 Yes. P&G, Kao, etc. All of these companies make detergents designed for cold water. In fact, you should NOT use them for hot water as they lose their cleaning power.

@tjkeranen Год назад

@@DadCanInJapan I use hot water with Japanese detergents on a Japanese washing machine all the time (well, 40C, since the washing machines here are kinda shit and don't have a heating element in them). Works much better on grease and summer sweat stains than cold water.

@InfernosReaper 2 месяца назад

Most detergent will just work on most clothes anyway, since most clothes can just be washed cold and some can't be washed hot at all. It's only a few types of garments that need it the water to be hot, but when you can't wash them, it's a problem.

I love the house design and interior. Hope you can show us more of these houses with similar interior and price bracket. Btw what about a carport or space for cars outside ? Or storage for bikes

@ExtroLurkerhaz Год назад

This house has a way higher chance to be sold off to an japanese family with ties to machida or nearby area than a foreigner planning on moving to Japan. But with that said, it was a nice tour of a more "common" house in japan. With a 400k pricetag i assume its pretty close to a station. Did it involve parking lots? i saw cars outside. The exterior, what else did it have to offer?.. it was a house after all.

@TokyoPortfolio Год назад

It does have a parking spot on the left hand side, but nothing much else other than the porch

@ToTheNines87368 Год назад

Wow, this is good party time.

@DerpEye Год назад

Well 400k is not exactly what i'd call affordable, but compared to the others, yes it is :D , especially for a whole house. PS. For the washing machine, it's pretty normal to have only cold water attachment in most countries, since it's the washing machine that heats it up in case you need it.

If you use something frequently, put it elsewhere.😅 My parents live in a typical Japanese house and they store bulky stuff such as big soy sauce bottle in the kitchen floor storage. They use small soy sauce container for daily use and when it’s gone, they kneel down to pick up the big bottle to refill but it’s less than once a month.

At the intro, 90's Buick Roadmaster wagon, that's an odd car to see in Japan. Its about 2 kei cars wide and 3 kei cars long, would be really hard to find a place to park it other than the one giant spot you own/rent. Or maybe its 2 parking spots cause it won't fit in one.

My favourite part of the home is also is that tacky canvas that reads "This is good party time" . The quality and execution of it perfectly sums up the finishing of the house, also whoever staged the home needs some help next time.

I'd happy take one of the shoeboxes cleverly designed by an Architect over this prefabricated dwelling.

And now everytime I hear someone say "Genkan" I just remember that exchange and chuckle.

You can find single story houses in country side, but in city side it’s rare. Elderly people living in a city who don’t want to use stairs would choose apartments. If you have couple million dollars you may afford a piece of land in Tokyo for a good sized single story home.
