MODERN JAPANESE HOME TOUR 🏡 What $8M Gets you in Tokyo, Japan! 

The dog barking transitioning is the kind of Sunday afternoon content I didn’t know I needed!! So cute!

Thanks for showing this house. Having lived in Tokyo myself in the 80’s and 90’s, and having had some wealthy acquaintances, I have naturally seen some very nice houses while there but none could quite match this one. Also I have to say that the Omotesando/Harajuku area was always at the very top of my list of areas I wanted to live in. Unfortunately however I could not even afford a little shoebox apartment in that neighborhood so I settled on Meidaimae. Still, I was close enough that I could get to Harajaku in about 10 or 15 minutes on my Mountain Bike.

Alex could easily sell this as a huge house in Tokyo that you can easily get lost in as he did a couple times. Do his listings that you guys show in your videos sell super fast afterwords?

If I had 8 million dollars I would buy that immediately

That's a beautiful house

Well just let your imagination run wild Chris...

That's where the real chris is being kept by dave.

Some thing about it suggests that someone like to * cough cough * entertain, a bit. Possibly make home movies. Probably a RU-vidr wannabe.

Definitely! has a clockwork orange vibe.

@sharmeleon and @abroainJapan trading in their cameras for a career in real estate?

They are one of the best people And hell, I even ship them hard(it's just me, they can do whatever they want)

Awesome! I would definitely sleep in the downstairs bedroom. Less hit in summer and it has the en suite bathroom! You're right about everything being a little bit too cool though :)

They should prolly date, would def make a very cute couple.

@@cap10jacksparrow71 then again she does smile differently with him around >.>

@@Thehotpotato605 Yeah maybe you feel that way but let's not make it weird for male and female youtubers to make videos together

Like the protagonist of detective conan then 😁

Or anyone in Madoka Magica

Ahahaha so true

@@MariaUnicorn294 I had the same thought. Though it's a bit too modern for that.

The Araragi’s house lmao

😂😂

He's still in shock from finally seeing Mt Fuji !

Fun fact: George Lazenby played James Bond.

@@alanlee1355 fun fact: I am aware of that 🤣

Some real BDE there!!

yeah! doesn't seem like a home.

The house was meh, until I saw it comes with it's own strip club in the basement :) To be honest, all architects make weird houses for themselves.

I agree. It’s not with out it’s charm but for $8 million I’d have expected fixtures and finishes to be higher end. The entry closet gave me Ikea vibes and the blinds reminded me of my first apartment circa 2004. I’d definitely be making some upgrades if I bought this property.

It comes with a membership in the Yakuza but you have to pay the entrance fee and commit a terminal event in another person's life!

I’ve always wanted one😂😂

Hey Roger, you loved the house?

Me too

As an architect student living in Mexico (where basements are basically non existent), no thank you for me, they are incredibly creepy

@@mari.jimgo22 Please take this in a good way; I wish you only the best in your career, but please don't get too rich.

@@groofay with how little demand my area has for architects I believe I won't 😂😅

Actually, he mentioned that someone had bought it from the architect, I thought. So I assumed the current owners did the crazy basement.

Yeah i feel like the architecture is kind of willy nilly... This is like unedited idea cluster

But what about the secret love dungeon 👀

Well it would be a pretty bland and boring world if everyone had the exact same tastes in housing, clothing, and cars, now wouldn’t it. In any case, the fact that something does not meet your own personal tastes does not make it “bad”. I have always preferred very modern architecture myself but the huge majority of people here in the USA are like you and prefer much more conventional and mundane cookie cutter designs. But lets face it, arguing over which style of architecture is “better” is like arguing about which flavor of ice cream if better. Still, as someone who has actually studied architecture in school and who has an architectural mind I can tell you that there is nothing even remotely “awkward” about the way the windows are laid out in this house. There is also nothing “willy-nilly” about the layout as another person mentioned. If you want to see awkward and inefficient layouts just look at some of the average houses and apartments in parts of Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. It’s as if some of these places were designed by people with no architectural training whatsoever. Anyway, while I personally would have done some things differently on this house there are also many aspects of the design that I really love.

@@sharlainjapan sounds kinda hot ngl

Me: an architect student which part time job is doing housekeeping, I would NEVER do all glass railings for my own home, they really are a PAIN to clean 😭

My thoughts too :)

Older houses in Japan have been demolished :).

Tokyo Creative has tours of their apartments. You can call it "The common man" apartments ^^

@@Wolfgrand Yeah, but when they tell about the rent, its still crazy expensive for how small they are. I live in an appartment in a small city in germany and I pay 450€ for twice the size of what they have to pay 1000€+ for in Tokyo.

@@StAngerNo1 where in Germany though?

@@danielg.w5733 I said in a small city and I think its pretty similar in most areas in germany. What makes a difference is if its a big city, a small city or rural areas. I live in Bavaria.

@@StAngerNo1 Can't really compare it to living in the middle of a huge metropolitan city with the population of some countries in Europe.

oh no...

When Alex called it the playroom my mind went to 50 Shades of Grey with Chris being Sharla's submissive lol.

@@Matpara411 dude you didn't need to share that lol

The Parasite house is better than this.

As in the gameÉ Or The AnimeÉ

bruh funny and so set up

and next video we will learn how to milk chicken

@@slothbaby2104 can't wait, my chicks been awfully bloated lately

@@nicoldtea7479 my too

Vlogmas 2021🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😂

Just imagen all the cats that could fill that house :)

just needs to breathe

his youtube is tokyo portfolio! its new but hes making real estate tours there!

Lol I’ll have been a cat mom for 2 years March 30th 2021 and I agree.... crazy cat ladies unite!

Cats are just so much easier and more chill to care for then dogs. I loved being a dog owner but I prefer having just cats now.

You MIGHT be mixing up cause and effect there. But hey, whatever floats the boat. Dog man myself.

@@Yuan3.08 😂😂 both i guess, if I have the house, O can easily get the dog.

Pugs would be much better if they weren't genetically destroyed by selfish people, if you have to have something like that get a cavalier

@@Yuan3.08 One pug themed house!

@@labtec514 or a shih tzu. Doesn't shed a single hair and can pass 20 years! ❤

What would be the property taxes every year?

sure... *facepalm*

@@wh-wjsboka7847 lol

Oh no way! First time ever🥺 Thanks to you guys~🥰

Yea, 8 million dollars for that seems unjust and not worth it. and it still feels so cramped with poor lighting.

was he serious though?

@@laduda4689 I sure hope not! Although, I get the vibe that he's not the most knowledgeable real estate agent. Then again, maybe he's just awkward on camera.

They're likely for support. A rod that long with clothes on it would sag.

🤣🤣🤣🤣exactly

Not only that it's so that the weight doesn't collapse the bar because if you put a bunch of heavy coat it'll bend into a u shape (the top part)

Merry Christmas to you too!! ☺️🎄❤️

Aw thank you🥺💕

i ship it lol

We all know Dave is destined to die as he lived, bitter and alone.

Omg 💀

Isn't sharls already married? Stuf

@@ArtIsDrawing I'm fairly certain she's divorced.

@Samuel Diche Thanks bby, once I find the guy, the rest will be easy (lmao) you can come and live with us

Make sure no ones hiding in your basement... 😂

because there is no space! it’s so cramped and small, besides the nice materials and the location, this house is not worth that crazy much money in my opinion. But it is Japan, so small housing is normal 😅

I kept thinking, what if they were injured and couldn’t maneuver around the stairs? Not very handicap friendly. Also, isn’t a basement a structural risk because of all the natural disasters in Japan (earthquake/tsunami)?

Maybe because this house was built decades ago and renovated recently. There are many 4-5 story buildings like that in Tokyo.

@@R_Chee17 For the amount of space and location in Tokyo, I'm not surprised at the price.

They’re not for sale in shops this year because of corona but I’ve ordered some online! :)
