Alright commenters -- if you had a million dollars, would you want to buy a place in the big city or somewhere like this?

@nightchicken283 4 месяца назад

Yes, I funnily came across it awhile ago. Suprised you showed it! Its so lovely if i had the money I'd deffo buy it haha

@JaniceWithTheTarlovCyst 4 месяца назад

Oh, definitely some place in a rural area. So beautiful, Alex; this home was charming yet modern.

@jimoran5265 4 месяца назад

I think I'd pick the big city just for things being walkable. Rural would be great for a weekend away but it's just more practical to be in the city.

@greenchilli6660 4 месяца назад

Definitely somewhere in the Kyoto or Osaka outer areas, this is way more interesting to me than a cramped apartment, really loved the video, thank you

@ElSendler 4 месяца назад

I think a mid sized city is best. I went to Japan this spring and found some surprisingly quiet areas in Tokyo, which I liked. but my favourites were Atami and Kamakura. Atami is hilariously steep and from Kamakura you can get lucky and get Fuji views with Enoshima. (or get tackled by a crow, because you thought you were save to eat your onigiri)

The way western and Japanese is blended in this house is one of the best examples I've ever seen. Usually the divide in function is a lot more obvious. This house just flows like it's all natural.

here in the UK a rethatching would cost you around £30-50k, and you're expected to go up to 40 to 60 years between full replacements if you do regular maintenance. its interesting to see the difference elsewhere!

That water tap right outside of the door is phenomenal to clean off your boots after a long hike through the mud during rain season. That's how I'd probably end up using it anyways... Quick and easy way to get the worst dirt off my feet before I ruin my pretty little genkan with it and have to spend the rest of the day sweeping and or wiping down the floors...

@theredboneking 4 месяца назад

I recently visited the Cotswolds in England, where i viewed some Thatched roofs homes. it takes skilled tradesmen to install them. They have an apprenticeship program and accept only a few lucky applicants. Beautiful home. I’ve been to Tokyo, but not Kyoto. Maybe next time.

@aaron5847 4 месяца назад

Bro...the outside sink near the frontdoor is for washing off boots before bringing them inside. note its height and the grate below it.

@usamamalik420 4 месяца назад

It's actually a very nice place. I hope you do something like a series where you show what 1M gets you in Tokyo, Kyoto etc and what 1M gets you in some less popular area of Japan. 😅 Maybe in Sapporo 😅

@LiterallyJustAnActualPotato 4 месяца назад

@close_friend_of_your_mom 4 месяца назад

The main question is, during heavy rains, whether this river will overflow its banks and flood the house. Is the house high enough? Following the example of last year's flood in Akita, I would look at this first.

@TokyoPortfolio 4 месяца назад

I didn't show it in the video, but the path to the river is quite steep and the house is definitely above the flood line for it.

@Shambles7698 4 месяца назад

Good video I hope you focus more outside Tokyo like osaka, Fukuoka, Sapporo

@julianvenedig1963 4 месяца назад

Super interesting an unique property for sure. But the price strikes me as way too high for a somewhat impractical house (e.g. why do you need 2 bathrooms if there's only 1 bedroom?). Idk, feels largely driven by novelty

@TheSakuraGumiLTD 4 месяца назад

The engalla (probably not spelt right), this is the picture perfect Japanese sitting area to look out at the perfect Japanese garden. I do find in total it doesn't quite have the character I'd hope for through out, but I guess this is typical Japanese style. I think if they put a lot more natural rustic wood in the kitchen that would be incredible. Japanese don't get too creative inside I keep noticing. I love the fire pit inside. I'd probably myself use it as a meditation and story telling room. You get a good amount of land with it and it'll be a perfectly quiet neighbourhood I'm sure.

@TheSakuraGumiLTD 4 месяца назад

I love that you did this... I was really hoping you would do this

@user-cn5gv1hr5n 4 месяца назад

At 7:49 you put kanji for constellation (星座）and not for the traditional way of sitting (正座） Other than that, really cool video. Maybe make a video some day about sharehouses and other communal style buildings in Japan? I live in one right now in Osaka :D

@hello.krista 4 месяца назад

What a beautiful home! But i wonder what the ventilation is like in the room with the fire pit? How would you not suffocate or prevent your whole house from getting smokey?

@user-sf1zo1wr6f 4 месяца назад

I love the area and the house is really nice. My first thought was that the style didn't seem to be for me, but thinking more on it, there are definitely certain touches that I can do to make it so. Now I just have to find $1,000,000 somewhere....

@NaeniaNightingale 2 месяца назад

It’s funny the economy are so different around the world, with that kind of money I could easily find a house double the size and double the yard without problem. However…. it would be a pain to clean x’)

@bandotaku 2 месяца назад

@@NaeniaNightingale Absolutely. That kind of money around where I am would easily get me a 6 bed house, 4 car garage, and at least a half acre of land.

@blakelandis2434 4 месяца назад

1/4 an acre is a ton of land?? Holy moly. In the states thats a normal sized lot in a housing addition! *Also it would be nice if you included the link directly to that property, instead of to the homepage not the easiest to find unless you know the address or area*

@James1701-E 4 месяца назад

I'm curious to know; are there any particular building regulations for properties? For example, here in UK you aren't allowed to have a toilet/wc open directly onto a kitchen so you essentially have to have 2 separate doors between the 2 rooms. Also why the owner didn't structure the walls so as to make the 2nd (european) bathroom an en-suite to the bedroom? Great vid, makes a change from Tokyo!

Wait, wasn't the channel Tokyo portfolio, I must be lost, it's the Kyoto Portfolio now? Jokes aside, I love the thatched roof. I grew up under one in Hungary. Interesting how very alien cultures use very similar technologies. But as you've said, it's a dying breed.

@PupGamer93 4 месяца назад

The outdoor sink could be useful for cleaning off mud from your shoes before entering the house

@aaron5847 4 месяца назад

That's what it is actually for lol. Love Alex and this channel but I definitely had a "oh bless your heart" moment when he said it was for hands, if the owner/builder told him that, he was trolling him for sure.

@rice_frying_shrimp Месяц назад

20 years as the frequency for redoing thatched rooves is pretty generously estimated. Japanese homeowners might end up saving a lot of money that way. where I am from in Northern Europe, we have also have the exact same style of rooves on a lot of older homes (anywhere between 100-350 years old) and if you own one you are often mandated to redo the roof every 5-10 years depending on your areas exact code because the homes are part of the area's cultural heritage and there is a set standard to maintaining them. so per what I'm used to, redoing it every 20 years almost feels like I'm getting away with a crime of some kind 🤣

@sonicase 4 месяца назад

hmm while it is impressive and very large, i don't think it's worth that much...the price is high because it's newly renovated...there are many more kominka that are cheaper and comparable although maybe not new and not as large or on as large property...interesting though, i feel like i like that style better than some other traditional Japanese houses

If I had the budget, I'd want a house with an exterior like that, and the location is great, but I'd rather have the interior match the exterior a bit more. It feels SO modern. EDIT: I do have to acknowledge that it's great that they included some traditional elements, but the textures, colors, and materials all just come off so modern.

A millions dollars seems quite a lot even considering the craftsmanship. I would have guessed between 500 and 600 thousand. I'd be interested to know what the house and land cost before renovations though. It can't have been much, so what are the rates of those craftsmen going for?

@XYoukaiX 4 месяца назад

one of the most beautiful places I have seen yet but as most people I wouldn't and couldn't pay 100k each year for a new roof even if I had the money to rent or buy this thing. But yeah looking at your website even the cheapest offer you have is WAAAAY over my budget .... increible how any human actually doesn't mind paying these prices especially as the usual wage in Japan doesn't even seem that high.

If I was rich this is the kind of place I'd want in japan but I would have to change a few things mainly I'd get rid of the western bathroom you don't need two in a place with so few bedrooms, I mean if you converted that other bathroom into bedroom and tea room a bedroom thats a max of 3, 1 bathroom to 3 bedrooms is fine.
