Buy & renovate property in Japan. Unique travel ideas and tips
Japan by Camper Van: Day 3
A peaceful pace of life. I felt like reflecting this tranquil atmosphere in today’s video.
Weeks and maybe months of ongoing travel seemed to catch up with us today. Rather than race around, we were happy to enjoy the quieter mood and take our time in the moment.
My mind was at ease in the morning and I was grateful that extended throughout the day. Especially since the town of Yufuin in Oita was crowded with tourists. I thought it would be a nice place for Dylan to experience as we passed by on our way towards the ocean on the east of Kyushu.
My undiscovered experience today was:
1) the ski area Mt. Waita which I’d love to try in winter.
2) Japan’s tallest swing. This is apparently the tallest free standing swing in Japan where you don’t use a harness.

You’ve seen the house now see the shed before I renovate
zhlédnutí 11KPřed dnem
Welcome to my shed / garage :) A year later and I haven’t really touched this space beyond moving some things around. Now it’s time to unlock new territory! I’ve basically got to the point that I need to tidy this space up to find things more easily 😂 I’ll first build a custom work bench and shelf storage. Once that’s it’s in place I’ll be able to think more about what to do on the second floor...

Myoko volcanic steam vent hike
zhlédnutí 2,3KPřed 21 dnem
When I hiked Myokosan last year I knew I had to come back for the steam vent. I see the steam almost every day from my place and have been thinking about it for a long while. I got busy and didn’t put time into getting up there but I finally made the time to go check it out. There is little to no information about the area in both English and Japanese. Usually for places like this with volcanic...
Making a Japanese Garden
zhlédnutí 17KPřed 21 dnem
This is an interesting project for multiple reasons. 1. I live in deep snow country Japan. Every decision needs to consider where the snow will land and sit for months. It will be up to the windows and everything underneath with be crushed, frozen, and wet. In other houses you can see where people once attempted to build balconies. Now only the concrete footings remain as they either rotted awa...

What does countryside Japan look like? Well, here is an introduction to my small town. “You must live in the middle of nowhere”. A very common response within the comments of my original video about buying a $6,000 house in Japan. But it turns out, I have everything I need to live a comfortable life right on my doorstep. Everything in the video is within 10 minutes walk from my place. With the ...

What do they get paid in? Hundreds of thousands yen?? Wtf😂
No thanks
Hey I've noticed you wearing different dope glasses. Can you share some?
I've LOVE to cycle across Japan! How are you sleeping every night ? Is it expensive ?
good question!
Soapstone ovens are very good and burns up to 8 hours you can use wood or pellets
Congratulations on a beautiful house. I agree not to make changes to the house until you've lived in it a while. Also save some money for the winter I have no idea how much Kerosene costs there, you may need that come winter. I am assuming the tank is in good condition. . You may need plastic sheets to cover the windows to make sure heat doesn't escape in the winter. Personally I'd water those Bonsi trees. In the U.S. they're expensive.
Everything looks nasty and gross,I wouldn t eat it for free or if they paid me. So the japs are not all clean and neat.😂
its yours until you die, after you die, not yours anymore
I used bed comforters on my windows
There's no heating or insulation. How do you get by? Not even any fireplaces. How do you do it?
bruh im not an expert at ladders or climbing but im pretty sure that's not how you go down one 😫
🤮🤮
I like what you did with your home. The paint and furniture. It looks so fresh and bright and cozy now. It's very nice 👌. I'm so happy 😊 for you. What a bargain.
No whirl for me! I’m a picky eater and that machine is way too dirty for me. 😂
Even locals Japanese are lining for it, bet its cleaner than what u eat daily
Not dirty, just old
@@heyking8583 I doubt that. I have OCD! lol
@@AndresV0182 yes I know. but even if it just looks dirty, I can’t handle it.
@@heyking8583You are clueless LOL
Just started watching these today I’m afraid I’ll binge all your videos please keep posting absolutely love your content and I’m not sure if you went over this yet are you retired or working their and how old are you or age your around very curious as I also want to move here and take the risk you took
I had to stop watching early on when you wanted to whitewash everything with character or remove unique doors. I seriously hope your developed better taste before your regretted losing those things.
Does anyone actually live here?
You look lonely. Find someone to share your cute home.
Congratulation Matt, May I request you to share the details on how to search a home for cheaper prices in Japan
I don't know your story, do you live and work in Japan?
冬は寒いのでこたつで暖をとる。昭和の日本ですね。
温泉最高、米、地ビール、そばが美味しいです。
People that didnt get their life on track in their country move to japan to run from reality that they became a failure.
i would give you a whirl ;0
Why’s a hornet being preserved in honey? lol
That's a useful vending machine out in nature. When I've traveled in Tokyo, I generally come across the creepy panty vending machine for perverts. lol I'd much prefer the soup!
Beautiful neighborhood! But please do an inside and in-depth video about your local sushi restaurant!
By all means Yep the doors.
Oh my.. I want to live in that country side.. it's giving ghibli feels for me hehe. Peaceful an all.
Did you move to Japan for work? Sorry if I sound too nosy.
Hope u are also close to the facilities such as minimarkets, banks, schools, gyms of the community?:)
Funny how migrants into the west aren't told to respect the way of life in the west. We bring that up and we're racists.
good for you bor. I'm jealous
Beautiful house
Great job. Really like what you made of the place 💪
DUDE! I thought I knew your face from somewhere before!! Then I had a flash back to the SKP RITSUMEIKAN days! Holy moly!!!
dude I see the ghosts everywhere
does anyone know why they just left the house with everything (and clothes?) seems sad. Did they pass away?
Indeed i was also thinking that, could they have been in such a run/rush to leave everything behind? I mean just like when u hear an alarm and u gotta rush out, that is what the vibe of the personal belongings left there like that gave me ._.
What realtor website did you use to find this?
Its a shame you can not...unless you can have proper heating and radiators fitted
Definitely get a solid ladder for the shed as that one looks way too flimsy and will snap eventually
Heartbreaking to see we are here in this world for a fleet of second and think we live forever.
lovely. My dream is to live in Japan, but i think its imposible because they dont allow it? anyway, house like this are my dream.
Wow it looks amazing, you did an amazing job
6k? What time does the obake come visit you at night?
Always want to vist japan. To escape summer heat of az. But if it better chance to obtain a home, then might have to think. Cause in USA home nation it seems will be impossible to obtain a home when the government just throwing our money away to give houses to illegals.
A studio here in jersey can be up to $1k a month, and 2-3 bedrooms apartment $1500-$2500 a month. 😂😂😂😂.
A house in az has been 2.5k a month since biden took office. Before was paying 1,058 a month.
I love it
Wow that is crazy everything was left with the house what a bargain. And it looks very clean and well kept.
Why was it so cheap? Is it jikobukken?
