Thank you for watching
As soon as you mentioned "owned by three siblings" and "nobody thought it had value" I instantly knew what you meant. My family also owns two buildings, a mountain, and land... in rural Okayama. It's like an impossible task. Meanwhile, the land tax!! I'm curious about how much land tax you have to pay for central Tokyo... ^^:;
@Nova Grow stuff, harvest. In the past my family harvested mushrooms from it and sold them.
Wow, that sounds fascinating! If you can develop it into some kind of cool eco-tourism project.
@@szesze-bw8fz Costs a lot more money than you think and we don't live anywhere near it now, it's been abandoned for a couple of years sadly.... Garbage disposal is still a problem even in the Japanese countryside!
Pinned this comment! Thank you!
I‘d Build a cottage up there.
Hi Anton, hv a feeling your channel is just gonna explode! Curious to see what treasures you recovered from this journey and thank you for sharing with us from outside Japan! 🎉
Thank you for your support and for being a part early on in this journey!
Love your contents, informative!
I am a Japanese born and raised up in Stockholm. Moved to Japan four years ago. Me and my partner just bought a House in Kanagawa - and it's gonna be so fun to maintain the house to keep it in good condition and renovate the places needed. Keep doing what you're doing, du är GRYM!
Very awesome and informative video, thanks for sharing your process. Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you Wassim! This will be a fun ride
I'm totally fascinated by this and would love to see your renovation from beginning to end, but in English!
New content coming, stay tuned!
Me too❤
@@ANTONINJAPAN Great job. Looking forward to the new videos.
I would like to see a before and after video! Perhaps a full hands on video from Day 1
Can we please have a house tour? 😊
I would love to meet him up, i'm picking up japanese and starting to prepare to drop my Singapore citizenship for japan
theres one with he tiktoker thats how I stumbled upon this guys youtube.
@@MrAtomUniverse How much would a small washitsu or minka for 1 person and cheap house cost in japan? i would go there could u answer please
I know it’s a bit private but what was your budget to restore the house
Same Im curious. Give us a rough estimate
This would really help
Yes me too would love to know how much the renovation cost?
Me too... I'm from the Netherlands and I'm very curious what the costs are compared to Europe
@@SerratusNLals het goed te doen is verhuizen we meteen haha wij kijken ookal jaren om te verhuizen maar waarheen..? Veel mensen die we kennen gaan richting spanje maar is nog europa.. is ook niet alles
Hi, great content! I also live in a house from the early 1900s so it's hard to believe, a 35-year-old house is considered "old" and has no value in Japan :) I think we value the "history ' and "soul' of the house more, so the older the better :D Would love to see how you approach earthquake safety while renovating, did you do it yourself or is the local government also involved in the process to ensure safety also for neighbors?
It's a hot humid climate and unused houses will mold and become ruined in a short time. Post-war through the 80s the emphasis was on quick and cheap so the buildings really were disposable and there's not much I see of value in them either. That said old carpenter-built houses are a different story and maybe someday I'll renovate one of my own!
I love your work! It's sad to see so many abandoned houses but you've give life to them. Great job Anton!
Look forward to seeing the renovation from start to finish.
During COVID-19 lockdown it made sense to buy a house and renovate it. Works in Japan where used houses can bought be only 10% of UK prices. Especially at the current exchange rate. When you buy an inexpensive house, there is frequently a lot of abandoned household items. Keep in mind in Japan the agent charges both the buyer and seller.

How much would a small washitsu or minka for 1 person and cheap house cost in japan? i would go there could u answer please
Just what did you actually pay in Euro or dollar's? for the house and or property?
This is one of the best guides I've seen because it starts with the two fundamentals.
1) understanding the culture
2) understanding the language
So many people are looking to make a buck or want a cheap investment at the expense of the local environment.
I hope the Japanese localities properly regulate the sale of the land and properties and sell exclusively to people like the author of this video
HOUSE TOUR DUDE!!! Show us around, and maybe around the neighborhood. You are very engaging, and I subscribed immediately.
Hey Anton, can we see the house finished? Curious to see your take combining your culture and Japanese. Seeing just your background with that beautiful wood is intriguing.
You know it’s not done yet, right? lol
Though I have been posting comments every time since last summer, I was really impressed with your efforts to finish the HOKUOU HOUSE DIY project.
From this month the English version of the Anton channel started and I am at a loss as to how to comment with my English skills. However, the English version of the talk is very interesting and the topics are completely different from the Japanese one such as the Swedish Embassy, Japanese food, and how to buy an empty house in Japan were interesting and surprised. Please post the Japanese version of the same video also. The Anton channel is promoting Japan for free. tack så mycket.
I so admire what you do. Have travelled Japan back in 2001, and I would have loved to have owned an original Japanese house
How did you plan the renovation? How many people helped you doing it? What about the plumbing? I would like to know more about the overall process, since this all needs to be coordinated, especially with no outside space to store building material. In another video you showed kimonos that you found. Could we see them? Otherwise, thank you for the video.
I will eventually introduce all the amazing people that helped me! Stay tuned, one video at the time 👌
I admire you for doing this. I know how much work it is. It's not for the easily discouraged. Also, you look like the vampire guy from Twilight.
I just discovered his Japanese channel and this feels like finding the english subs for an anime you like lol
Thanks for making this series some other people also made series like this but didn’t share the whole process.
I also wanted to do the same thing but not complete renovation I would only going to do necessary repairs. I like to like I traditional Japanese home but they kinda scares me I never lived in a wooden house before and maintenance seems like a waste of time and money and then there is the noise problem old Japanese home aren’t really sound proof
I will see if I will ever move there seems like fun project other than garbage disposal
How much you pay for it?
if they're so cheap / free, what is stopping someone from buying them all?
I also bought an old house in Seoul Korea last year and renovated it :) would love hear your experience in Tokyo and think of trying out ourselves. Would love to have our own place in Tokyo
How much was it ? I heard prices are crazy in Seoul
@@Kimeesunshine it really depends on the neighborhood. And normally Koreans live in Apartments/Condos and we bought a house like one in the video which is relatively cheap per sqft.
So if you give me an estimate on what kind of neighborhood you want to know, I could give you a price range per sqft. But generally it’s not as high as Hong Kong, Shanghai or Singapore
Did the property tax increase after the renovation? In France, there are criteria on amenities that would imply that a renovation can modify property tax. How does it work in Japan? Also, how common is it to see houses in downtown Tokyo?
Love your videos Anton, thank you for sharing and bravo on the beautiful house!
probably not because the house has zero value, the land it sits on is where the value is. in japan bulldozing down an old house to a bare lot actually increases the value LOL
Så otroligt spännande att höra om skillnaderna mellan bostadsmarknaden i Japan och Sverige! Du gör så mkt kul videos Anton och vilken skön prick du verkar vara ☀️
I was watching a Kdrama called "True Beauty." The family lost all their savings due to a scammer and were forced to move from a nice new high rise apartment back to their "old house." I was like, why would they just happen to have an extra old house laying around????? Now I know, the plot is actually plausible!
well my guess. it could be the granny's house where all the siblings grew up in, then the granny passed out, now all the siblings own a little parts of the whole property that no one can sell or use it without EVERYONE's permission. And usually that situation goes on until some of the siblings die and their children joins in, everyone who has a part of it start to be confused.... I mean, in my family there is one old house in that situation😂
Tack för en bra och informativ video Anton. Blev lite nyfiken på va driftkostnaden ligger på ett så pass stort hus i centrala Tokyo, särskilt skatter avgifter och liknande hade varit roligt med en video om det om du har tid och möjlighet. Hälsningar från Sverige
This is so cool, it's inspiring
Great video I look forward to following you. Can you share what the costs were to buy, and then re-build/renovate? All I got was $15k for disposal, and a lot of labor on your side, but I'm curious for more details if you can share
I agree with this. I just heard it was really cheap, but it's relative of course. I would love to hear more about the cost. But you made it look really good!
How much would a small washitsu or minka for 1 person and cheap house cost in japan? i would go there could u answer please i really need the answer
In another video he mentions disposal is about 10 percent of budget. based on that its about 150k.

Edit: added link
Please talk costs Anton. I would really like to know if my dream is affordable 😂 amazing job brother. Your ambition is inspiring 🙇🏻♂️
After just learning about akiyas in Japan, I'm now really fascinated by them. Maybe one day I can move to Japan and buy one as well. Thank you so much for sharing your process with us, it's really great watching your videos! Looking forward to more ^_^
Thinking about buying a 空き家in 神奈川県, thank you so much for the informative videos!! It would be super helpful if you can share the cost (roughly is fine!) of renovations, trash disposal etc.
Thanks for sharing. I’m enjoying watching your journey. 👍🏻
I really want to buy a Kominka in japan, and my dream is to renovate it myself. For what I learn on this video, the first step would be get a lot of friends.
So cool, it's definitely a lot but very very cool thank u so much for sharing
I can't wait for another video.
Took 3min and 6sec before you blinked!!!! :O
You a vampire? Bite me :)
Def curious about this renovation, will be haning around !
There will be so many interesting points to look at.
I hope Mr. Douglas and your neighbors found the videos and are happy to see the results too!
That is actually extremely interesting and helpful,thank you for your videos 💖
1. Can you number your videos, so everybody can watch them in the correct order. 2. Untill now I didn't see any prices mentioned.
Could you do a break down of all the cost?
You keep mentioning the value of the house vs the value of the land. So did you buy the house only? Are you renting or leasing the land? Or did you buy all of it?
i want to see the end result the decorations and everything hope it will be all in white an wood😀
Your Japanese is awesome! Where and how did you learn it.
I love ur work anton next video pls💖
Funny, my partner and I saw you yesterday at exit 5 Meji Jingumae Harajuku station and recognised you. You picked up an umbrella that fell down 😆how random! Good channel!
Haha the weather was terrible!
I hope you stayed dry! ☀️
indeed! 😀But I got to see some snow, we’re living in southern Spain, so this is rare for me.
What about before and after tour 🎉🎉🎉
Is insulation used in Japan? The walls always appear thin and I wonder how cold it gets or how high heating bills are.
I would like to see more and longer video footage of the renovation itself. Preferably in chronological order. And perhaps no flashy subtiles on the sides? It's not meant as a criticism. I just found them a little distracting and weird. But perhaps that's just me.
I make real estate and travel videos in the Japanese market and it's a great country to buy. I just bought my 10th house. Congrats!
Hi Anton love seeing your journey
Just wondering where did you live for the whole year while renovating the house
I wonder whether it would be possible to just send a container with trash to another country and dispose of it there? :)
Hey Anton, please tell us about your long term plans, do you see yourself living in Japqn for a long time?
Wow, tack Anton. 🇯🇵🖤
hajimashite, kul att följa din husrenovering, Fun follow your House renovation & learn some Japanese thank yuo
This video can be a lot shorter, for example you stated again and again how it has no value for japanese people but for you there is value and how it has a lot of sentimental value for the owners. Like okay I got that, let's move on to the main topic which is the knowledge you wish you had before you started with this journey.
This house made it through WWII!! Amazing! If those walls could talk!!
Lol it might be scary too
Love your content! Keep it up!
would love to see more renovation content!!!!!!
I’m just very perplexed at the fact that this guy doesn’t blink his eyes 👀
Super interesting series. Subbed my guy!
It’s beautiful.
20 centimeters away from the neighbors' house? That's practically a duplex my dude!
What was the total of it all? Estimate if you can
How easy was it to get a loan?
how many languages do you speak?
I’m seriously impressed by your japanese :)
Omg same! A whole year just buying the place 😩
How much would a small washitsu or minka for 1 person and cheap house cost in japan? i would go there could u answer please
THAT WAS A YEAR
😮😮😮
I am curious, did you rennovations require inspections from the local government?
How much did you pay for the old house? Rough number is ok. Less than 100k USD?
We bought a beautiful mountain home 5 years ago, we love the culture and people very much.
Snyggt! Dags att köpa ett hus till snart 😂
Yokatta! Ii ne... i want to be like you too✌️🥹 someday!🙏
Nice vid thanks
Wow. I kept looking at your eyes only. Very interesting video & informative. Strange to hear Japan charges so much for furniture/garbage disposal. In Singapore, people just throw their stuff (furniture or anything) downstairs & in the morning, it's gone, cleared by the town council's cleaners. Easy & free.
House tour!
found you through the house tour
Hi Anton i would lie to know if you keep the house for you or you try to sale it back after the renovation ?
I cover this all in my book! Please check it out :)
What is the point of not saying what he paid for?
That's the whole point waht people want to know to see if they can achieve The same thing..
Do a tour of your new apartment.
JUST REALISD, I thought it was weird that he doesn't blink that much. but it's because he is a model.
Bro where's the first episode of your house renovation series?
Coming tomorrow! Stay tuned 🙏
@@ANTONINJAPAN great
from my point of view japan is very weird country. but it very good memory vacation to japan.
How much did you buy the house? And how much was total expense - renovation, trash disposal, etc...?
Dude only blinked like twice throughout the video!!
I'm Swiss and I'm doing university exchange of 1 year in Japan. I have a life project which is to renovate something here, however I want it to build as I would do it in Switzerland, with a good quality of material (thick termal insulation, heat pump system with photovolatic panels,...) Is it possible to do that here or prices are excessive because Japanese people don't build like that?
When will you give us a tour of the remodeled house?
Incredible
日本語のチャンネルの時から見てました！
I’ve always wondered how you acquired an akiya so cheap in central Tokyo!
Good find! Do you still own your renovated apartment?
お世話になっております！ この英語のチャンネルでもいつかアパートの件を紹介したいと思っています。 日本語がわからない人に内緒にしてね 😜
@Nova ooops.. haha
Why secret? So Japanese, I know cause I lived there.
I never knew about cost to remove garbage. But still ok. And was there no concrete slab? Wonder how long it would have lasted without gutting it? I’m getting serious about this, did live there before in the 80s. Hope to see some next month I will come and stay. Retired so nomad now, which is nice too.
Hi Anton, en cuanto a los impuestos podrias hacer un video de como calcular o tener una idea aproximada de lo puede costar una casa akiya? Saludos desde España.
Uno dinero!
Yooo I came from fb reels someone came asking if you rent right? I watched that video and came here.
Wow 😮❤
How Cheap? I hate program like this that don't tell you the real cost of buying and renovating.
One dollar! Is that cheap enough for you???!!!! God!!!
This seems to be not an easy renovation at all. You are a lucky man to have al these friends at hand, japanese friends, who made things lot easier, not the renovation iutself, but also tge paperwork and the get the foot in the door.
Do you think some of the companies/people you worked with on your renovation projects would put their information online? I’m planning on buying my own Akiya in the future but have no connections or contacts in Japan.
Hej Anton. Älskar videon. Nyfiken. Hur centralt i Tokyo är det om man översätter det till Stockholm? Är det typ som att bo på kungsholmen eller mer som att ditt hus ligger typ i skanstull eller enskede?
Hey Anton, do you know if there’s an age limit to do an Akiya? I’m in my 40’s and heard somewhere that it’s harder to get one the older a person gets.
