Our traditional Japanese home - Moving to Japan in 2022 

That is not a house, that is a masterpiece.

I think it’s so nice that the granddaughter is living in this beautiful house

The lady is deeply proud. Proud of her parents, her culture and heritage and history. I hope my grand daughter can have self esteem steeped in fidelity

I really have become obsessed with japanese architecture, something about the wood tones, the natural materials, the cozy floors, the compact floor plans, the subtle verticality, everything just looks beautiful

This is what a perfect warm house looks like ❤️ I really hope Japanese people never give up those beautiful traditional houses 😢❤ It's so unique Love from Egypt 🇪🇬

As a resident of Poland, I find great pleasure in experiencing aspects of Japanese culture, such as this traditional house.

Minimal, functional, beautiful, cozy home. Thats japanese architecture.

The Japanese are so cool, I love their culture.

I had a dream of having a Japanese-style house like this. And your house is really beautiful. Not only beautiful but warm as well❤❤❤

How precious that you honor the memory of your grandparents. ❤

That house is so gorgeous- all the details , the materials the craftsmanship and changing light - Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

This bamboo ornament is awesome. All this Japanese home ambience is so unique. To me it feels like being a toy in a beautiful box. Very cosy ❤

I love how you take the time to describe the different elements of the house (Like the Engawa). I learned much watching this video. My favorite part was the picture of grandfather sitting in that part of the house.

its not just the japanese language thats complicated but japanese houses too are .

THE HOUSE IS SO PEACEFUL BY ITS NATURE JUST LOVE IT!! FROM INDIA

The japanese truly are like no other people. You guys rock!

I like the style of Japanese homes -- the sliding doors/screens between the rooms, the furniture -- and no clutter.

Japanese home art I say is gorgeous due simplicity along functionality... Also ageless

The Japanese people really have taken the tiny house to an art form.

Thes house is and art of a leaving legend one of the talented japanese carpenters.

Interesring house, plenty of privacy, Japanese seems to value privacy and quietness.Also very clean and notice how they keep away their things. clutter free.

Super home... Keep it like this for ever...

I miss the smell of tatami. I miss Japan so much. I hope one day I can go back. Your house made me day dream about it even more.

This is phenomenal. Everything has a place, a function (More than one) and the calm and serene environment is so inviting. As I get older I need less stuff. I should have visited Japan!

This house is absolutely perfect!!!!!! it's pure art!!! Queria ter uma assim aqui no Brasil. ❤

I loved your home. Right now I'm visiting Japan for the first time and I watched your video. The house is beautiful, and your husband seems happy to live there. Now in Spain I am also going to live in my grandmother's house, and this video moves me to see how many of us continue to honor our grandparents even though they are gone ❤

I envy you the opportunity to live in this house and to enjoy it. Japanese houses are my favourites, because of their ingenuity in building and the sheer beauty of it. As a German, I know that you appreciate the genius of these traditional buildings and their craftsmenship and attention to detail. Your smiling face said it all. You need to see Karl and his wife, in a Japanese doco. He is an architect who has restored a number of Japanese houses and has brought a small village back to life again. He recently received an award from the Japanese government. I will try and find his last name for you, which presently I have forgotten. Found it: Karl and Tina Bengs in Niigata Prefecture. Their doco is offered by NHK Japan.

Wonderful house like in a ghibli movie. I just imagine how cool it would be when your grandchildren would play with you there.

I thought Germany had cool versatile windows... Wow! This is ingenious!

This is such a gorgeous and peaceful looking home, and it is made even more beautiful with all of the memories, love, and history stored within every room. 💕

Im just watching but I can feel the warm hearts of those who lived there

The most loving part of the video was when the lady of the house showed us the closet where she will pray in the morning and the evening. Every Hindu home has a mini temple for puja (prayer).

What a beautiful home and well designed for comfort in all seasons. I wish I can live in a traditional Japanese home too.

this house is incredible!! 😭❤

I have been dreaming of moving to Japan's countryside since childhood. Got married to my best friend who also has similar dreams. May we make it, Amen!

perfect house. I will live in one similar one day!!!

I want to live here I think this is the nice place for artists to work❤

This so lovely and functional

Just came across your channel today. I love Japanese traditional homes and love Toshifumi Hinata music. I actually worked 18 years for a Japanese Company in El Paso, Texas. Got to know and fall in love with their culture. Very respectful, clean simply all is just beautiful. I love where in your home you can say Hi to your ancestors plus I also loved where you could warm your legs. You mentioned the sweet memory of your grandmother sitting down and putting on her makeup ❤ .

Amazing....a wonderful house

4:02 Almost like the " 3 friends of winter" Pine, Bamboo and Plum.

Thank you for the tour of your beautiful home.❤

What a besutiful place to wake up to every morning

Such a neat concept. I love it.

This was everything I needed ❤ so heartwarming and relaxing.

That home is absolutely beautiful with all that diminished lighting

Your home is absolutely gorgeous!💕🌸💕 It reminded me of my great grandparents home in Kyushu. Their home was a farm home so it was a bit bigger when I saw it. Sadly it’s no longer is in the family. Only one of the smaller home are in the family. My great grandparent had 10 children so I’m sure they had to build on to the original home that was over the 500+ years old when I saw it. Although it didn’t have all the wonderful modern amenities that your home has. I noted that some things don’t change. Example the entrance with the different levels, the outside sitting area with its own sliding doors, the hall that goes around the home, the storage areas tucked away out of sight, the carved wooden panels over the sliding doors, how a room can be changed around to make other rooms and especially the underfloor “heating”. I would have loved to have seen a picture of the table out with the blanket over the table keeping everyone warm.🥰 Of course there are other things that all Japanese homes have but those are what I remember the most. The memories, I can recall like it was yesterday, was the scent of the “non-modern” Japanese homes. I love that scent.❤ I think it’s the wood structure or maybe the floor mats that had that smell of fragrant woods…cypress or cedar? How I miss that scent and my family as well. Your video made me cry bitter sweet tears. Thank you for bringing back memories of beautiful times. 🙏🏻🌸🙏🏻 My mother is Japanese and my father was American in the military when they met. My father spent 8 years in Japan during the war. He truly loved the people, culture, and the nature that was everywhere. My father was a very generous and friendly. He would talk to anyone that would talk with him. He learned how to speak Japanese quickly and was always studying how to read and write Japanese too. My father said he thought Japan was one of the most beautiful places he had ever been. So much of my father’s knowledge and experience was spoken of all my life. Everything from the folk dances, good, different ways of fishing for different kinds of seafood, polite customs etc. My father always said that learning how to be “polite” (in all kinds of countries) will never keep you back due to fear or close a door that could have been left open because you didn’t know what to do or act. He was loyal his country but he truly loved Japan. My father always planned for us to move back to Japan permanently, whatever it took. Unfortunately, he passed away before that could happen. If things had gone to his plan I would have been 12 years old when we moved back to Japan. I really wish his wish would have happened. When I finally found my Japanese family after 40 years of separation, they had had moved from Kyushu to Nagoya for the new family business. How I found them was a miracle and so unexpected. A story for another day. That’s when I understood why my father wanted to move back to Japan and why he loved Japan so much. The first time I went to see my mother’s family, I didn’t want to leave. I would stay up at night trying to figure out how I could stay. I know my aunts and uncles would have taken me in but I didn’t want to do that for more than it would take to find an apartment. They were all so wonderful to me… Now I have CFS/FMS for over 26 years and it’s getting worse. So now I’m restricted to watching RU-vid videos and wishing I had gone to Japan when I was 18. Again, thank you for your post.🙏🏻🌸💕

What a beautiful place, I love it ❤

fabulous home and a fabulous couple to all the best with your journey in life from Wales uk .......

I have to say that I am extremely jealous. The reason being that I lived in a similar situation in the late 1960's early 1970's. I loved the smell of the new tatami that we slept on with the typical Japanese bedding.

Bless you both.

Very, very beautiful home!

Thank you for your introduction! Your home looks comfortable. What a thoughtful design!

God i love Japanese culture! It's so intentional!!

You have a beautiful home. Take care of it, it’s precious.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful home. My heart is warm, and I'm happy, thinking about a nice place like that, and now she can continue to make memories there where her grandparents lived. It's a lovely thought.

Thanks for sharing.

Vielen Herzlichen Dank ! Wunderbare Tour aus der Vergangenheit !

Beautiful and warm home

Such wonderful craftsmanship gone into the design of the traditional Japanese House. Loved the hidden trap door in floor for eating and lovely sliding doors. Wishing you both blessings and good health Simon and Beth watching from England 🇬🇧 ❤🙋

BEAUTIFUL - THANK YOU !

I love the process and history of your home. The act of opening windows to allow natural light in reminds me off the act of mindfulness. Fully being present in the moment to ensure all the solid panels are stored correctly. I have recently bought a house in Tasmania Australia and I am finding it hard to connect with this building. I would love one day to bring these concepts into my home. I would love to see more of how your kitchen works.

This is fantastic. Not only have you shown us a traditional machiya but you have also shown us how many of the important aspects function. Really enjoyed watching this ありがとうございました。 ^ ^

Danke für diese aufschlussreiche Roomtour. Das ganze wirkt so zeitlos und durchdacht. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Grüße

I'm so happy for you guys to have such a wonderful house!!! 😊

This is so fun to watch ❤️❤️❤️

thank you for sharing! it is gorgeous!

私はこういう家で育って、子どもの頃は、雨戸をあけるのが子供の仕事だった。最後の一枚、入らないよね。け飛ばして全力で入れてた気がする。ガラス戸も木の枠で、なつかしいです。年齢を重ねるごとに、モダンな家や現代風の洋風の家ではなく、こういう家に住みたくなります。掘りごたつと、雪見窓の障子。そこから雪が降り積もる庭を眺めてた子供時代を思い出しました😊

Thank u for sharing

What a beautiful house, love your memories of your grandparents

❤️thx for giving us such an insightful introduction of the old Japanese house, always feeling curious

I needed to watch this for a school project, it was an amazing walkthrough❤

What an amazing house!! Fell in love with it. ❤❤

This is really wonderful. I love it

I remembered seeing a late relative of mine who was converted to Japanese religion praying to a small box in a corner of their home by opening a small door. After seeing your video, I finally understood the reason. Thank you! ❤

Beautiful couple and thanks for sharing .

I am so much fascinated by Japanese culture.

Che casa meravigliosa ❣️ Conservatela con cura ❣️❣️❣️

Lovely. I always enjoy seeing Japanese construction, design and woodworking. Arrigatou gozaimshita! Vielen Dank!

What a beautiful house with all the charm of Japanese houses. And you can tell it's been very well cared for. I can't say what I like best in it as I liked everything so much. The Butsudan reminds me of the Herrgottswinkel in the traditional houses in Bavaria. In addition to religious objects, the Herrgottswinkel also contains pictures of relatives who have already passed away. However, gifts such as tea and sweets are not brought, but things such as bouquets of herbs, sheaves of grain, fir branches and the like are brought on certain occasions. Thanks for the nice video!

Beautiful 🙌🏼

❤❤What a beautiful house so different and traditional from Germany! But i thought: Hey You come from Germany, You speak German English!! Hahaha...I wish you both a wonderful life in this wonderful home!! Japan is so beautiful country!!❤❤

Thank you for showing us your beautiful home. I love to see how people live all over the world. I have just found your RU-vid channel so shall be watching more!! 🥰💐🙅‍♀️

So, so great, so interesting to see what a real traditional Japanese home is like - I learnt a lot. Many thanks......All the way from London !

Lovely traditional home, now the home for a new couple. It's amazing how innovative traditional Japanese houses are! And, as always, those toilets should be standard everywhere. Enjoy the house and the memories!
