- Our Japanese home is modern, built in 2017. Not a lot of homes in Japan are like this one, but I'm excited to share my experiences with you and interesting features inside. Most of the main features in the home are extremely common in Japanese homes, so I hope you learn a few new things!

What the name of this apartment it looks so pretty, is there like a certain type of apartment u can choose from or is this just how it came?
@@akemia.sunset6199 dog mittens!! But he'd slide everywhere lol
@@advikasucheth3512 lom
after watching this i feel like north America has never even heard of the word technology
😂😂😂😂😂 Japan has always been ahead of time. Efficiency is key to them. People need to travel more and see the world beyond .
There isn't anything (except the ambidextrous refrigerator, which is really cool) in her home that you can't get in the US or many western countries. This is mainly a cultural difference. Many of the items are very common in Japan (washlet toilets, electronic showers, multi-color lighting, etc.) but not in the US. You won't likely find any of these things if you move into a rental apartment in the US, but you certainly can install them if you're building your own home or renovating.
Yes...lovin´ the kitchen door with the smooth sliding ventilation situation...but then the gunk traps in drains really confused me...yuck.
@@aireoteddy but you have to go out of your way to pay money and install it
I haven't seen many of these things anywhere in Europe either. A lot of it is due to how old (in general) the buildings we live in are, so many adjustments are simply not doable. But also it's a case of not needing those things - if it's something you're not familiar with and your life has been fine without it, you don't feel a need to seek it out. I mean I'm sure a Japanese toilet is amazing but we're not suffering without it. I'd love that appliance shelf though!
Reasons to move to Japan;
The front door 🚪
CASE CLOSED
Pun intended? 😆
@@Xaforn I guess so
You don't nkow the korean's doors. You don't even need a key.
@@Violet-fg9db !!!
@@Violet-fg9db( ?!) We still have padlocks and metal door shields back in my country?! Like, how do you even begin to enter your own home? Osmosis?!
I love how Japan prioritizes funtionality in their products, and also end up in making it into an aesthetic
Creativity is on another level in japan
Muji is Perfect example of this
Exactly my ideal house
@@moreroidsmoreboys It's because the aesthetic IS functionality
What about the US where it's profit over everything?
Her: *Opens the fridge several times in a row from the different sides*
The fridge: "What the fuck is going on"
Hahahahahahahahahahaahhahah
🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
For most lease agreements - it is all done in Japanese. And in the 22 years I lived in Japan I never once had in my lease agreement that I was not allowed to wear shoes in the house. Since I spoke Japanese - they assumed that I understood the no shoes culture/policy. But I think you had a special lease agreement probably in English - a service just for foreigners and they assume that you are not aware of the culture, so they had to specify such matters for you. They would never put that in a normal lease agreement because all Japanese take their shoes off when entering the house. Also the slippers should be be placed up on the wooden floor so no dirt gets transfered from the tile floor to the wood floor. Culturally you are doing a no no. The slippers placed on the tile floor are outside slippers for greeting guests or collecting packages. In door slippers never leave the upper floor. That is the correct cultural practice.
I am just thinking about how it would be one of the reasons their floors are scratched
I'd imagine too that they added it to the lease specifically because the flooring is so soft. Imagine dirt and tiny rocks from dirty shoe soles getting embedded in the flooring... or the damage someone clomping around in heels could do.
This would be very useful if i ever move to japan, thank you!
Omigawd, I LOVE that. Upper floor, and lower floor and complete separation between the two. Now I wish I'd designed my house with a lowered area just inside the front door. We really need to import some of these ideas from Japan. The toilets with the built-in bidets, and the fancy showers with all the extra functions, and the ambidextrous fridge doors, and the screened patio doors that can partially open for ventilation, and the floor cool storage!
@@moonmao868 bcof their dogs!
It's the storage, functions and recycling for me...
I love the "for me" challenge :))))
Ikr this is why Japan functions well. It’s mandatory to recycle that’s so awesome
Apparently it may not be as great as we think (recycling I mean). My bf taught a lot of business men and they said while they sort them, in the ens it goes to the same place. I lived both in Osaka and Tokyo. Tokyo they do major sorting, but in Osaka, they just throw it all in the same trash can.
Saaaame
@@TheSilverGarnet the recycling center sorts them again if so. I'm surprised Osaka stopped caring, but then it is kind of stereotypically Osaka after all haha. Another channel made a video of how it's done once it reaches the disposal centers.

I screamed😂

SAME 😭✋
LEGIT ME TOO 😭✋🏻
loool a true man of culture
@@hytrader3241 yesss
this fridge didnt blow my mind. it blow my whole existence
I know right , just browsed the comments for the fridge alone
😂😂😂
My previous home had a fridge like that (I live in Papua new guinea) and when i first saw it, i did exactly what she did. Kept closing and shutting😂
Her: “my husband is a big nerd he really likes to read like Lord of the Rings and, JK Rowling... oh he’s really into these too”
pans over to death note
ah yes a man of culture I see
😊😊😊
right. Pure respect after the Death Note reveal. I cracked up immediately.
I was wondering what those were. Looking it up now. 🤓
Death Note is a classic!
death note is sooooo good.
my entire fyp on tiktok is just “things in my ... that just make sense” because of your videos 😂
haha I LOVE seeing how other people live.. I love that it became a trend!
Mine too!!!
im obsessed with them
He’s really into these books right now!
*shows Death Note*
I was looking for this comment😭✋
I know lol.
KIRAAAA
😂😂😂
She really just brushed over that😂
if there's someone who understands japanese here, could you PLEASE help her with her oven buttons? haha
the part where she says she just randomly presses them is giving me anxiety lol
must be hard to look it up
It’s too blurry
2～3 hot drinks, 4 add, 5 defrost, 6 fries,yellow button start
Same here, so I screenshoted it and uploaded it to Google translate it. 😆
when she turned on her oven, I suddenly smelled bread being toasted and I got freaked out 😂 turns out my dad was toasting bread at the same moment lol
Hahaha.
Hahahahha what a timing
I think every Asian home don’t let anyone step on their clean floors with dirty shoes. It is part of the culture, Filipinos do that too. I think it is just more strict in Japan because they value their traditions very much.
Same with Nordic houses, e.g. Finland. Would be quite rude to walk in with your shoes on.
Also extremely strict in South Korea.
Inah C is it part of the lease like she asked. or did they just put that in so she can respect the tradition?
it is also that way for my Caribbean household too :)
I know it’s the same with Northern and Eastern Africa as well. Lots of the Middle East as well. The US was the first place I saw people didn’t consistently take their shoes off. I always get a anxious if a repair person comes to my apartment and walks all over my carpet with their outdoor shoes 🤢
Generally in any Asian household, there'll be an area for changing shoes! It makes the house SO much cleaner.
Hold on, I’m American but I would NEVER wear shoes in the house😂. That’s just weird
But you know MANY DO wear shoes though
@@johnblaze520 really? Maybe it’s just my area but no one wears shoes in the house, especially if there’s bad weather outside.
@@seeyouinhell8961 what kind of community do you live in?? Are you telling me America does not have a culture of wearing shoes in the house? If so just watch a show like “friends” or “modern family” they just have their shoes on the sofa and bed.. If it was “weird” or “unusual “ they wouldn’t show that.
@@johnblaze520 ah yes, because tv always properly represents!
@@seeyouinhell8961 it does give some indication. Find me a Japanese program where they are wearing shoes in the home.
So u are telling me the majority of American families don’t wear shoes?
So why did you say “especially when the weather is bad” ? That implies there are times they would keep the shoes on.. otherwise you would not need to add “especially “
Im from europe and we usually take off our shoes when we enter the house to keep our house clean from the dirt
@a n g e l c a k e s what?
@a n g e l c a k e s In some parts of Europe people keep their shoes on too (France, Italy...)
@a n g e l c a k e s Maybe it's just that your family has good habits. I've been to Italy many times and I've never seen anyone remove their shoes indoors.
@a n g e l c a k e s Totally agree! I also find this video funny because they might be removing their shoes, but 1 minute later she says that their dog has dirty paws and scratches the wooden floor, and she puts her muddy shoes straight into the shoe cabinet, right before showing a book that lives inside their toilet. I can't wrap my head around this way of living tbh, but if it works for them then it's all good I guess haha.
@What the fuck is even that not even all Americans...I’m not European or Asian but my family does not wear shoes in the house and we ask people to take theirs off if they come over...it’s just dirty😭
Shoes are not allowed in the home bc of the environment outside, it's dirty. My family is the same way, I've been raised that way. Shoes off at the door. Especially now more than ever, working in a clinic with blood and covid just makes sense to leave shoes outside or at the door.
Yeah, we've always taken our shoes off at the door. I love the easy way they have theirs stored.
@@nichelleedwards1962 I have a built in book shelf right at my entry way like a separation partition. Between entryway and living room. I leave my work shoes and other shoes there at door. I work in a clinic, so removing shoes for me despite using bleach to disinfect them at the end of every shift is a must.
I had nursing instructors recomend striping out of scrubs and work shoes as soon as you shut the door.
@@HeraldHealer strip in your garage if you live in a home that has one, toss the scrubs straight into the washer or a sealed bag with the dirty laundry used for work, pile and wash it as soon as you can. Shoes need to be bleached/sanitized before leaving the clinic or hospital. I have one nurse who changes into slippers when she gets to her car and her work shoes go in trunk in a sealed bag. She wears the slippers to drive from home to work and vice versa.
@@liRegretl That's a great idea form meets function!
My American friends: where’s their shoes around their house
My Japanese self: wait a damn minute
"wears" is the spelling for when one is wearing something. "where's" means "where is" which doesn't make sense in this context. I'm not trying to be a grammar nazi; I'm just trying to help.
I wear slippers around the house cuz my parents force me to
I am asian btw
Never! I even have guests take their shoes off. Don't bring that bad energy in here 😂
@@tracy.4712 my grandpa yells at me whenever i have my slippers off 😔✋🏼
@@carys1703 I feel u 😔
The u.s needs to step up their game 😭
The fact that your refrigerator opens from both sides blows my mind. I'm completely amazed that in Japan the modern technologies are so advanced compared to the U.S.'s homes.
Actually, double hinges are not technology. It is called user-centered design, as in we design refrigerators that the user can use rather than design them so they are easy to manufacture. 😉
In North America, most refrigerators and washing machines have doors you can install on either side. So if you have to move and it now opens on the wrong side, you can switch the side the door is mounted on. But there are still appliances sold with a door you can't switch, which is hilariously poor design, especially when these are often high end appliances that cost thousands of dollars.
So what should blow your mind isn't that the Japanese have double hinged doors on appliance but the fact that American refrigerators don't have them.
@@Gomba13 it's technically technology 😂❤️
as a Japanese, i had one of those like 10years or more ago and it even came with a small control panel you can switch the mode of fridge and it counts! how many times you open the door. and my mom would know my brothers and I took some sweets or juice out of it. we cried.
Yeah us Americans are so far behind in technology 🤦🏾♀️
its really amazing imo, saves the embarrassment from opening it from the wrong side
In most of Asian houses shoes are not allowed due to the environment outside
Afaik, wearing your shoes inside the house is pretty much a uniquely american concept.
That's not environment friend ìts our culture
I think except a few countries, it is normal to remove shoes when getting inside a house (Central Asia, Japan, Korea, Russia, Scandinavia, eastern Europe). In the Netherlands where i live now they don’t but the in my home i set my rules and a offer a lot of guest slippers.
I thought that was normal. But then again, Americans just want to spend more buying cleaning supplies
She was asking if it's common to have a "no wearing shoes on" clause in the lease. We all know that other stuff.
he’s into *these* books right now!
the books: *Death Note*
Her: “ I need a ladder to get anything from the top shelf”
Me: “ SPIDER MODE ENGAGED 🕷 “
:3
im too lazy to get a ladder, i just climb furniture 💀
AGAHSG SAMEE
ahlieeee we shawties don't need no ladder we turn on our spider mode on hahahahah!!!!
@@wooyngsgf I did that until I broke my right wrist so no thank you 😂
Omg that’s just futuristic af , I feel I’m living on a farm in the middle of nowhere lmao
Lol. My American apt was built in the 1940s. I can't even use the coffeemaker and microwave at the same time with the breaker flipping off.
This type of housing so common in developed asia countries like singapore, its just modern to us, not futuristic, even the locks we using are using hand palm & passwords without hassle of carrying extra physical keys. By carrying remote control keys are like carrying traditional normal metal key sets.
Same and I live in NYC 🤨
Norway is kind of in the middle. 😂 the new houses here are FANCY, but we still have some old ones too, but mostly more modern appliances and stuff than in the US.
It is already a spacious house in japan. Houses in japan are really way expensive, that's why most of the people there live in a studio-like size type of abode. U guys are lucky, living a classy lifestyle there in japan.
It definitely depends on where you live though. While your statement holds true in a big city, it’s not actually that expensive to have a nice house if you live in the rural area (mainly non big city prefectures).
My in laws live in Okinawa and their home is just as big, maybe even bigger. Their kitchen island can fit about 7 seats. They built their home from ground up so maybe that why. My I laws homes is so beautiful and technology is even more crazier. When I went to visit them, I was not expecting what I walked into.
Most Japanese live in detached houses!
That “shoes prohibited” clause is definitely for the foreigners... 😆😂 Most asians know NOT to do it and it is drilled into us since we are toddlers. 😀
I am also a south asian (from india) but we take our shoes inside our homes but not in kitchen🤔
@@remis_cormer I'm Indian too but we remove our shoes before entering the house 😐
@@greent1863 in which state do you live?
@@remis_cormer Telangana
@@remis_cormer what about you?
BROOOOO Japan's technology is a whole another level woooow!!! i wanna live in Japan now wth
I just wish I could have that house in the US.
"the recycling here is really intense...." is it? pleeeaaase just catch up, Americans, will you?!?
IKR😑😣
Oh not just the recycling but a lot of things too
As adavanced as America might be, I feel like there is soooo much they need to catch up on. For starters (the basics), shoes in the house is not normal. And I'm not of Asian descent to any degree. Lol
@@kimaani11 I live in Michigan and shoes are not typically worn in the house anywhere. Take a pair of clean socks when visiting.
@@debrapruitt9802 Michigan - make America great again! Lol 😜👍🏽
i love japanese homes because they have genkans no matter how small the house is.
I live in a tiny apartment in Tokyo and my genkan is only four tiles with a couple of centimeters below floor level, lol, so cute.
What is that?
@@beccismith4454 it's like a mudroom. before you enter the main house, remove outdoor shoes, change into indoor slippers. it sets the mark: indoor shoes only from this point onward.
@@peterpiper5300 OK, thank you. It’s the entryway so to speak. Here in Germany most homes have something like that too, or else some people take their shoes off before the door. I’m kind of half and half. Having grown up in the US where we did not take her shoes off at least in my family back then unless they were really dirty, to now living in places where you do… Sometimes I’m lazy or forget or it’s impractical and I go a few steps in the house with shoes on 😄
@@beccismith4454 when i was younger, i hated it when my mother got mad when we used outdoor shoes inside the house. now that i have my own house, i understand her. less dirt is brought into the house and the soles may look clean but they are not. you use your shoes in public restrooms and other public places. when you have babies that crawl on the floor, it's best only to use indoor slippers at home.
I live in America but in my house we never wear shoes. I suppose it’s a part of my culture but it also just keeps the house clean and every house I’ve gone to does the same.
Konnichiwa! I grew up in Japan, so I'm feeling pretty nostalgic, watching this tour. It is customary/traditional, to remove your shoes upon entrance to any home (and even some restaurants). 😉
Restaurants ??
@@iiraingirlii She means like in traditional Japanese restaurants with tatami/wooden flooring, you usually take off ur shoes and sit on tatami.
ohh i didnt know you needed to with some restaurants! are there any other cases?

Finally I’ve been waiting for this house tour ever since I started watching ur TikTok videos and ur videos r very fun to watch Ly
I hope it was worth the wait!! thank you for your patience.. I'm still learning video editing - it's so much fun!

Me looking at the back of toilet knowing that’s where the sink is 👁👄👁
The sink is conbained to the toilet.
* Junone 😶Is that sanitary?
@@starseed1566 I'm not sure.😅 but, the system is rational anyway.
@@junone7418 The water comes out the top first then fills the tank. So its fresh clean water that you're washing your hands with.
Thank you so much for explaining. I loved a lot of the features of the home. But, I was thinking, wow, you really have to sanitize door handles and such, having to go downstairs to wash your hands.
I currently live in Japan but am from the states! my apartment literally looks like yours! we have the same style kitchen and same appliances !
do you know what's the kitchen hood for the shelf appliances called?
This is a huge house. I am loving it. Having a Japanese style home is my dream. Hope I can have one.
In a hotel in Japan, the mirror by the lavatory has a heater so when it gets misty, it automatically clears up like magic. In New Zealand, the towel racks have a heater so you get a warm towel during a cold winter season.
I grew up living in Japan and currently living in nz so I know what both of the cultures are like. It’s very interesting to see the difference between 2 different countries.
I don't think you are talking about culture here. I think you are talking about social classes. The heating towel racks and the defog mirrors exist in pretty much every country-if you are willing to invest in those luxuries. I doubt that an affordable working class house would have any of these in any country.
@@Gomba13 true, especially in Australia or NZ where homes are already really expensive without furniture and luxuries. But then again they have a better quality of life there, mostly. And the wages are better than most places so they're blessed
@@chanaii5178 Again, this is talking about classes. I know plenty of people in New Zealand who work more than one job and still can't afford to house their family in anything better than someone's garage. It might look pretty on videos, but New Zealand has a real poverty problem.
@@r.1599 Yes! I'm from New Zealand and this is the most overlooked part of our country. We have a huge poverty issue.
Great video! I am Japanese but been living in the U. S for 15 years now. Your videos are great for me to reminisce about life back in Japan and i appreciate how much you respect the Japanese culture. One advice, the slippers you have for the inside of the house should be kept inside the house, not at the same floor where you put the outside shoes. Most people just put it right above or get a slipper hanging rack.
Thank you so much for these tips and advice! I absolutely love your culture and appreciate any insight/ help I can get. Thank you for escaping to my page!
I wanted to say that. You SHOULDN'T put clean slippers on the dirty floor where you take off your shoes.
Yes, that rather shocked me, too. The lower part is "outside" and the step up is "inside". Shoes don't go inside and slippers are not worn outside. Even for a few steps.
@@heratlas And I sincerely hope that you had washed your hands after touching the shower drain and before touching the ice... 'cause you know, contamination.
I saw the Dead Note books in the guest room and freaked, that's a top tier husband ladies and germs
I also live in Japan, so this home tour was all so familiar to me. And yes, the separating of trash is crazy. It took me a bit to get the hang of it.
me seeing that cool fridge: I NEED THAT FRIDGE
Yes it has some very cool features!
I translated what I could see on the microwave but I couldn’t see what was under the dial or on the door. Here is what I got for you. The top left button with 2-3 says something to drink 「飲み物」 and underneath that on the same button it says alcohol 「酒かん」(I’m guessing option 2 is for drinks in general and 3 would specifically be for alcohol). The top right button with 4 says 「お好み温度」which is “preferred temperature”. The bottom left which says 5-6 seems to give you two options, 5 is thaw all (or thaw completely) 「全解凍」and option 6 is half-thaw (I guess just like thaw it halfway through), 「半解凍」.18-21 are non-fry, 「ノンフライ」, I’m guessing there is somewhere else on the microwave that specifies what each of these are? The yellow button I believe can function as either a warm option as option 1 「あたため」, and its also the start button 「スタート」。Under that button and above the dial it says 「自動メニュー/時間」meaning automatic menu/length of time. Hope this helps! Feel free to send me a message on here or on my instagram @ohplease.angelinarose with close up pictures if you would like me to try to translate the rest! (:
Angelina Rose wow The commitment on this comment is amazing 👏🏻👏🏻
Hadley Price Haha thank you!! It took me a little while because I had to translate all of them first (and I only knew about 70% before I looked it up) and then it took so long to just type it all up and switch my keyboard back and forth and think about how to word it so it made sense 😂😩
Angelina Rose this was so nice of you to do😊 I wonder if her.atlas has seen it?
sharon ferguson yeah not sure haha
Accurate but you accidentally typed “phonology (音韻) instead of temperature (温度) lol
I think it is quite common in Asian houses where you have a shower room without a sink and most of us just brush in the shower itself, it saves time lol
Japanese home designs are like those 'So Satisfying' videos we go WOWWW about, atleast for me
Like how they make use of the space effectively and how they try to amplify the use of ordinary things(like the green and red light indications on the switches) is SO SATISTYING and also so inspiring!😃
I live in Canada and almost everyone takes their shoes off when we go into the house
I'm Canadian and I can confirm.
I can also confirm
I can also confirm. I feel like it’s partly due to winter... imagine coming in with boots full of snow 😂
I think that everyone from all other countries except America take their shoes off before going in a house
In Norway its a huge no no wearing shoes inside... most of us dont wear slippers, feet need break from shoes :)
That was so much fun, thank you for taking the time to show us everything. My husband heard your voice and said stop it. I'll get us some beers and we can have happy hour in Japan! So we did just that. Thank you for making quarantine not so boring. We love your videos! My husband's favourite things were the fridge and the secret storage in the floor. Thanks again, it was fun.
OMG AMY!!! My mouth just DROPPED!!! This is so wholesome - I love that something like this is bonding time for the two of you. It's really important to me to create content that brings people together!!! You don't know how much this comment means to me.. thank you. Hugs to you and the hubs!
It’s normal. When I lived in Japan we lived off base and it was required that shoes were NOT allowed in the house past the front door or the mud room connected to the garage
Been studying Japanese. This is what your Panasonic Toaster Oven is saying:
1. Attame / Stuaito (Start)
2. Nomimono (Drink. )
3. Sakekan (Liquor, this is a sake warmer. Warmed sake gives you enhanced umami)
4. O Konomi Ondo (Favorite Temperature, or Custom Temperature)
5. Den Kaito (Full Defrost, you'll see this word 解凍 or "Kaito" pop up on a lot of frozen fish packaging, it just means unthaw or defrost before cooking)
6. Han Kaito (Half Defrost, same thing except you're cooking something that's already halfway unthawed)
7. Non Furai (Non Fry, this is basically your Air Fryer Toaster Oven option for things like Frozen supermarket Tempura fish/chicken)
Wow that is a lot of functions. Thanks for the translation
I always love how Japan did to their home..paying attention to details and what you might really need, and the tech is just amazing, and it become a standart for japanese house. The best! Love their tradition, to stick in to what they need.
My husband works for TOTO he said on the top of your toilet is the sink. So you can wash you hands when you done.
Yes, and the water you use to wash your hands will be used in the next flush
Wow that’s really cool! I don’t have that I’m my house ;-;
True have watched that from one of the random videos.
Wait I'm just trying to understand, so you wash your hands at the top part of the toilet near the toilet seat?
@@UltimateSwordsmen
The hole on top of the toilet is the sink
I like how your dog is named after the chubby mouse from Cinderella
Gus Gus got a cursed being a dog..and Cinderella now live in japan
Japan is probably my favorite country to travel to in the world. I've been dreaming about moving there since high school. This just really makes me miss the place. or make me wanna yolo and move there now...
you're really convincing me to move to japan ma'am
make sure to do your research before!!
How am i even surviving these primitive conditions here in the States?
Japanese toilets are the best invention ever! Went to Japan for the 1st time last summer, and I loved it! My favorite country. Home away from home. I grew up and live in Norway. I already knew alot about Japanese culture, history, foods, language etc. beforehand, but I didn’t have much expectations, and it was way better than I initially thought, except the heat. Language wasn’t a problem due to translation apps and devices used by staff in most stores, as well as at the train/subway station etc. I went to Tokyo (Shinjuku), Kyoto and Osaka. Ioved Kyoto the most. Rented a traditional Japanese house through AirBNB. My dream home would be a traditional Japanese home, but with modern materials, and modern conveniences🥰🥰🥰 It has nothing to do with you being a foreigner, and in the rest of the world except in the US, it’s the norm to not wear your shoes inside the house. It’s like common sense. Unless you have a dirt floor and live in a house made out of cow dung🙄🤦♂️
I absolutely love their clever use of space - user friendly and practical while maintaining simplicity and style. It brings joy to the heart of any lover of beautiful, efficient design.
i love how almost every room has a remote in it
As an artist I LOVE ❤️ that you can adjust your lighting to warm or cool and just bright to dim! I’d loved to get my hands on that as I’m in process of building a new studio in our retirement home
Me: THAT'S IT I'M GOING TO JAPAN NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT COST TOO!
Seconds later after looking up pricing: you know America is really comfy, I think I'll just stay here a little longer heh..
Lol
Plus Japanese is frickin hard

@@aquariusleah-playz4807 yeah i know the pronunciation is really easy for me as an Indonesian but the grammar and WRITING SYSTEMS is a fucking nightmare
IF YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE BATHROOM TOUR - IT'S UP!!! I'm still new to youtube and video editing, so I really appreciate all the nice support. Hugs from Japan! :)

women dz thank you for watching!!! It’s very different!!!
Thankkkkk you love this video ❤️❤️🥺
And the recycling video too please!
Hi what is the song that you ues in the tiktoks
The lower entryway part of the genkan is for shoes (i.e., "outside/dirty" zone). Do NOT keep your slippers there! It may take some practice, but you should be taking off your shoes in the lower part and then sliding into your slippers on the upper "inside/clean" zone of your wood floors. Similarly, even though your shoes are stored in the "inside" zone, you should not put them on there -- that's simply for storage. Carry your pair of shoes into the "outside" zone before you put them on and leave the house.
It is a huge house indeed!!! I lived 3 years in Japan and my apartment was a single room... All in it, even the kitchen 😊
18:15 EXCUSE ME THIS IS DEATH NOTE HOW DO YOU LIVE AN JAPAN AND DON'T KNOW DEATH NOTE ONE OF THE BEST ANIME SO FAR
Hahaha I’m sorry!! My husband is a bigger nerd than me 🥰🥰🥰 he’s really into Manga!
It's great but it's not the best anime ever made.
Not everyone living in or interested in Japan watches Anime. The place is iconic for way more than just its animation. 🤦🏽♀️
@ARIANA ANDERSON I like the passive aggressive emoji you added there
Just cuz they live in Japan doesn’t mean they would know... Most people know what anime is but maybe they don’t know what they’re called or the names and stuff
I wonder why other places don’t do this stuff like some of it is so genius I literally didn’t know I needed until now
Especially love the fridge, and the multifunctioned shower; the technology they have is also crazy!
Every time I was like “GENIUSES!!!”
I love your energy!! It’s so genuine
Imagine being married to a considerate man. Wow
would you be willing to share roughly what your rent is? so curious of what the pricing is like compared to the US/where I live in Boston! no worries if that's too personal :) love seeing all of your tiktoks and stories, thanks for keeping us entertained during these times!!
Omg I also live in Boston!
hey! I’m also from Boston 🥰💙
Ayyeee Boston party in the comments !
Just going off the first page here... rent will run about $350-$600/month in Yamaguchi prefecture. realestatejapan.net/chintai/yamaguchi/iwakuni/
Oh yeah, and LDK means living, dining, kitchen. So 2LDK means there’s two rooms with a living, dining, kitchen area. 1DK is one room with a dining and kitchen area; etc etc.
There are a lot of interesting things in this home video. I think my favorite is the refrigerator door that opens on both sides! That is absolutely fabulous! In the showers. I do love a shower and currently have only a bathtub which is nice but give me a shower any day :-) ... and one that preheats and dries itself sounds pretty cool!
I love love love the details of the utility room sink. They’ve thought of everything!
Korea or Japan - no shoes in the home and many restaurants, doctor’s office, gym, schools, etc. Totally normal! 😂 I live in the US and I have a no shoe policy!
same for me!
Same in India too
@Moon they only know about Japan and Korea bcuz of kpop and anime , don't mind them (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
No shoe policy...really -_-
its called basic cultural manner
As an asian who’s NOT from Korea or Japan, why do i feel offended by this comment haha it is as if those countries were the only asian 🙄
Who else came from the tiktok 🤪🤪 (btw I LOVE your house 🏡💕💕)
hi gabriella!!!!!!!
OMG 😱 you replied! 🤩🤩🤩
I saw a couple who use the “floor storage” for store food, water and other items that you need in case of an emergency (earthquake, tsunami, etc)
I’m not really sure but I think is for that
Reason to move to Japan
1. Fridge open both sides
Case closed
We work in Real Estate. The contracts may exist for foreigners but we've never seen one of our foreigner made contracts say "don't wear shoes" but alllll of our agents always tell the customers to not wear shoes because the floors are easily damaged and if the floors have to be replaced the tenant will be required to pay to replace them. It is a great part of the culture but hopefully your contract can't force you to not wear shoes. It's your house :) Wonderful video !
I was kind of surprised that the contract be so specific as to say don’t wear shoes in the house, but evidently no stipulation about not having a dog. Here in Germany there’s not a rule about wearing shoes in the house although it’s customary to take them off at the door. But floors are usually not so soft! It is however sometimes the case that keeping pets is not allowed, or only with specific permission.
I’m half Japanese and it’s a traditional thing that the Japanese don’t wear shoes inside to respect the homes that’s what I believe
Chiyo Fryer i agree, in Norway we dont wear shoes inside. I always thought its so wired that people in USA that have carpet floor wear shoes inside 😅
Chiyo Fryer I live in Los Angeles and I take my shoes off upon entering my house. Oh, and I’m a happa/hafu/half J as well...
@@georgeleakos8376 half japanese gang
@@emiliebjrsvik458 Hi neighbor! My mom's family is Japanese, and here I am living in Sweden. The Japanese mentality is about setting a clear, definitive boundary between the outside and the inside. And the inside should remain untarnished, both spiritually and physically.
@@lilypadkayaker Hi! I like that. It's nice to have a line between the inside and the outside of the house. I know I get a little bit frustrated when I see people wearing shoes inside. It is not hygienic.
I'm just obsessed with some of the little things that would make THE biggest difference when it comes to cleaning time every week/organizing and being convenient. Like the self dryers in the shower to prevent mold/mildew, the drawers on the freezer and refrigerator, the pull out shelf for the ugly counter top appliances. The pull out shelves in the medicine cabinet mirror. Built in garbages, and the front door. Also it's decorated so beautifully. Like it's all so simple but so smart and it just shows how behind America really is. I love this channel sooo much Thankyou for sharing❤️
Your house is so amazing, I loved the fridge
my mouth dropped at the ambidextrous fridge... most of you guys might already know about it but for me this is the very first time I'm hearing of such technology. the Japanese just never cease to amaze me
Wow, really an excursion! That's why travelling is one of the best if not the best education anyone can get; it broadens your mind; the experience, in terms of people, scenery, culture, food, everything. No amount of money can equate to the knowledge that will stay with you till the end of time.
Thanks for showing us your world❤️
YOU are my kind of people - you are exactly the type of person I make these videos and post for. THANK YOU for this comment. It means more to me than you know ✈️ 🗺
I absolutely loved it, actually I love the mind of architect I mean he/she just exactly know what ,how and where a thing should be used 💜
I'm from India n in my home we never wear shoes. It keeps our home clean. This is culture of Maharashtra. 😊
Same in Papua new guinea, but I'd like to adopt the home slippers idea from japan, because sometimes the floors need cleaning and i don't want to feel dust as i walk around inside
“He’s really into these books” points to death note manga 😱 yissss he has good taste
YES MA'AM! Idk why I was having a brain melt and couldnt think of the name
I started watching you on TikTok and I fell in love with all of your content! I wish there was a way to have a Japenese style home here in America, so many of these features just make sense and I'm sad we don't have them here! Stay safe ❤
Amber Bigelow i can’t agree anymore with you! I need that fridge!!!
I love everything about this home, it’s everything ☺️💖
Love it! It looks cozy but not cramped and so many great ideas. The fridge is the best!
I am SO OBSESSED with the fridge. Would really like to have it
I thought that was really interesting. FYI- That shower off the bathroom... I brush my teeth in the shower. A lot of people do. Put up a mirror there! Anyway....love your content. I follow you on tic tock as well. Keep up the good work!
this is such a great idea! I wasn't sure if that was super weird to do or not. I'd love to turn the white dresser thing in there to a mini vanity for things like that!
@@heratlas Ok I'm saying it.. I would watch a video of that vanity's creation. But also you should do that whether or not you film it haha
@@heratlas It's definitely not weird, just brush them before you shower so that you don't damage your gums! happy shower!
@@capturious does brushing after showering damage your gums?
You could have a basin and jug on that vanity. Free up that door. Pop ikea chair in office. Pop bed against Gus-gus's area. Face door. Wall unit out to office too. Free up the area.
Beautiful house! Thank you for the tour and for allowing us into your personal space 🥰
Thank you for your videos! Iwakuni was my childhood home, your videos are so nostalgic to me!
Love the most is the FRIDGE!! FREAKING AWESOME 😱😱
I couldn't have been the only one mega excited for this!!
I legit think every single one of your fans was waiting for this one!!
You're the best traveler man! You managed to reach the young people and the older ones alike!
congrats on all the followers on tiktok! I hope one day the fans can meet you!
ahhhhhh! omg this comment made me emotional.. thank you for the kindest of words. one day we can make it happen.. until then.. *virtual hugs*
shaking my head on how ridiculously good this house is, so many cool and practical features!
ur video kept popping up on my recommended and I always scrolled past but now I wanted to see it, and I love this video!!
Ok I LOVE your tiktoks but I think your CZcams videos are even betterrrr because they are more in depth as opposed to only 1 minute on tiktok. So please keep em comin 🙌🏻 even though it was 24 mins I felt like it was really concise, to the point, and well thought out is so your planning is greatly appreciated! Also wanted to compliment your editing skills!! I know myself it isn’t easy and very time consuming so thank you for taking the time to show us your beautiful home. I learned a lot 💙
Also just a tip if I were you I would take photos of the Japanese writing on the appliances/shower and either send to a Japanese friend to translate or ask any bilingual local in person :) the curiosity of what each button means would kill me!
I'm not Japanese but from Northeast India and we too don't wear shoes inside the house. We have separate sandals for wearing indoors. I think people in other parts of India too follow similar tradition.
Who else found it satisfying when she scratched the tapestry with her nails?☺
Thanks for the tour! It was fun and your house looks amazing!
