@@SteveRonin Your a wonderful soul. Thank you Steve.
I don't watch any other explorers. Your photography and editing is awesome. On another note that King tut bust is probably one of the most expensive pieces there.
Am I the only one that wants to clean the mansion so bad? Like literally cleaning it like sweeping and mopping and dusting.
Nope id buy it clean it dust it rearrange everything get new furniture and just invite a lot of people there to live with me so they get to experience the true beauty of nature
Same here🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nope I'm with you, OCD kicks in huh
no, you are not the only one that would like to clean the mansion up.
Luxanne van Wulf I was thinking the same gadamn thing!!!
Well seems like Japanese people definitely are more respectful to abandon homes which is nice.
That is what I thought
Due to the culture, Japanese people just tend to be more respectful overall.
@Vanessa Donato war is hell
honestly. the respect level is sooooo high. A big reason why I love Japan!!!
First thing that came to my mind is to loot the house ... i've never even looted before in my life, but... hey! we only have one chance in life
Genshiro Kawamoto, the guy who owns these properties, is currently serving a 4yr prison sentence for tax evasion. So no, there is no "love story" or anything behind his "disappearance". I decided to do some personal digging of my own and found some Japanese articles that explain more in depth and aren't giving these romanticized false accounts of what happened.
Most of the real estate he purchased was between the 1960s and 1980s. The reason many of them were left abandoned is because by today's standard they are not up to code for fire/earthquake protection. He owns multiple properties in Japan under the alias Marugen. He also owns multiple properties in Hawaii and California. He earned a bad reputation with how he would treat his tenants, giving them super short notice to vacate a property just so he could sell the property, not because they were behind on payments or for any other reason. Very cold and calculated. Basically he used to treat peoples' homes like they were handbags and just sell them at a moment's notice to try to make a profit.
Only cool thing he ever did was opening up some of the mansions he owned in Hawaii to Native Hawaiian homeless families and charging super low rent like $150-$200/ month. But even most of those properties have been vacated and left to ruin since at least 2012-2013 because that's when he was finally arrested for tax evasion. He was someone who insisted on not paying taxes and made very public statements about not doing so.
So no, he didn't leave because he lost any loved one (his parents used to own a high end kimono shop, but when they passed he basically got rid of it), he is currently in prison but should be getting out soon since his 4yr sentence should finishing up. He was sentenced to 4yrs plus some very hefty fines/restitutions as of 2018. He did try to appeal the sentence in the beginning of 2020, but the sentence was upheld. He also tried again in 2021 and got the same result. Should be getting out this year though since his sentence started from 2018 and it is now 2022.
He's born in 1932, going on 90yrs old. Has never married and has no children in his entire life, by choice. He openly stated he has no desire to ever raise an heir to his millions (he's a millionaire, not a billionaire), no desire for women or a wife (his closest acquaintances have asked him and those were his answers) and said he's cool with his assets being requisitioned by the government whenever he passes away. By all accounts he seems very greedy in a lot of ways. Like I said, only cool thing he has ever seemingly done was renting some of his Hawaii mansions for what would be pennies compared to what they were actually worth, but those went to complete crap once he got arrested and they have also since gone to ruin since he is not free to properly care for and maintain the homes.
Also, if you want to know more about his abandoned properties (there are MANY of them, way more than what's in this video), look under his alias, Marugen. That's the name he used to purchase the properties under. Hotels, homes, rentals, office buildings, whatever. They were called the Marugen properties. He never officially made it a business name, interestingly enough.
If you watch this guys other videos you'll see that he has a very romanticised view of the properties he visits, he has a vivid imagination, zero knowledge of architecture and antiques, and as can be seen from this video he thinks everything is made of marble.
So he was ALL about that paper, chased a check and never chased a bitch!!
@@pro_booty_eater6914 and it came with a cost, because now he's in prison. No matter what we choose to do in life, it comes with a cost of some sort. He was born wealthy (his parents were very wealthy and their kimono shop was very high-end) so he was just greedy.
He was never known to date any women. Never known to have brought any home with him even for a fling. Might have been a-sexual. Either way it is his choice. He's 90 now so hopefully he can say that he lived without regret.
@@neferazure preety much tho, too much money really changes people
Just four years?! He’ll be out and living the life like nothing happened.
This guy was rich on another level of rich. I can’t even begin to figure out how much all that cost 🤯
I love how respectful the Japanese culture is that they don't ransack abandoned properties.
it’s more like used stuff has no real value in japan.
I was thinking the same thing but then I realized that the stuff likely carries negative energies plus the karma factor of not taking something that doesn’t belong to you.
Lots of abandon properties in a lot of other countries are not ransacked. Real explorers just record and not touch or take anything.
People only ransack other peoples countries like Africa
@@bobayekadabogeyman9819 What?
if this home was in america, it would have been looted a long time ago
💀🤣💯
You can leave your bike unlocked or your laptop on a table and use the restroom in a coffee shop in Japan, theft is rare
@Deborah The Rainbow Oracle of Hawaii that’s because income disparity from the richest to the poorest in Japan isn’t as obscenely distributed as it is in the U.S. The greater the income disparity, the higher the crime rate. Luxury goods, affluence flossed in the faces of men that can’t compete on the same level as the rich produces violence and competition within those men.
Exactly. I was thinking why everything is still there and thought people would have gone in there and took everything by now.
Like literally all that expensive stuff would have been gone the same week they left.
This just goes to show that no matter the cost whether a thousand, million or a billion dollar house its still is nothing but 4 walls without the people u love to make it a home.
wow
Going through this house without not having temptation to take up some of the statues is so truly hard lol 💀 but I see lots of comments with great knowledge saying art holds wealth and age and honestly if we’re honest it does. No matter how old or how long, art holds a very high significant value!!
Zero temptation. If its not yours its not taken.
" You can lose everything in a second , you won't take anything with you when you die "
If you ever become rich , consider changing people's lives , donating , helping poor families , giving an education to children who can't afford to go to school , mansions and marble statues won't make you happy but giving to others will .
Amen to that very well said and many people don't realize this unfortunately.🙂
What's is the essence of giving to people who will still die ,so it's a circle of vanity and waste ,live life to the fullest die and leave ..that's it
If you are poor blame yourself for your failures ,it's not anyone's duty to care for your bad choices and failure in life ,carry your cross that's why you have shoulders ,use them and stop the crack and drugs
I need 80K to pay off my debt. :)
👍
Well said
Even though it's abandoned, I think it's still decent enough to film a music video there.
The question is..... why they leave that place... what's the purpose of that precious things but no body...
Birdman shootin his next video there 😂
Why did they abandon
Good for wedding photography too

Turn it into a museum! The delight of any art collector ! This guy had good taste!
I’ve never appreciated this type of decoration but, now I think I understand. Those were the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen.
Hi Steve,the Owner of this Building is serving some time in Prison (4 Years) because "on suspicion of evading roughly $9 million in corporate taxes." So maybe this is the reason his Buildings are abandoned? There are some more in Hawaii and California. He also had an private Art Museum (thats the reason he collected Statues). Love from Germany!
Who owned all these?
@@p.b.tfab_u1560 I believe these were Genshiro Kawamoto's properties.
is it me me or did he reupload this vid seen this a couple months back
@@melanindevine This is a second visit to the property. The other video was the first visit.
He'll be back out sell everything and become a billionaire again
Money can’t buy happiness,but I’m not happy without money. 😅
Ill steal your quote 🤣
Dottie Dot no prob as long u happy ☺️☺️
You won't be happy with money...
Money can’t always buy you good taste either LOL
I rather cry in a mansion then in a trailer 🤣
You are so sweet! Despite the man's greed, etc.; you show nothing but kindness as you show us the goods!
I think the same thing...He is my favorite...He must have a wonderful Mother...
When you were looking out & said " just imagine this is what he saw every day".
Yeah, it was but he saw it by himself.
Money doesn't buy happiness just material things. I actually feel sorry for the guy.
I was watching this without sound at first and this place made me feel so sad... i’m not surprised to hear he was depressed. This home has no heart or warmth, anyone else feel the same?
No
Yes seemed to have no heart or sole
Exactly what I was thinking.. this place feels so cold
Yes very cold, and lonely. Depressing
Exactly, there is not that cozy factor in his house. It id more like a formal hotel
Could you imagine surfing CZcams and come across this video and being like “Oh shit, that’s my house!” N being hella upset having to see what your home and belongings look like now.
Nine Wectawski ok, that made me laugh so hard! and then i thought, well, if he did see this, at least he'd have something to remember it by! 🥴
he’s no longer alive
Ey, they're probably way too busy on their yacht to bother flipping through stuff like this.
@@RareEntityDai wait how did he die and what country was he in
I did see that once. It was just.a normal low income house but they did interview the young man that lived in the house. Everything left behind. Messed up tossed rooms. It was upsetting. He had said it wasnt like that when he lived there.
You guys are the best, I absolutely love what you share, this home was unnnnnnnnbelievable. Thank you for the wise words of materials vs family , health, friendships and the joy of being around the people you love the most. We really are here for a short term and we cannot take anything with us. Yes I also hope he has learnt his lesson but all things have consequences, so I pray he find peace of mind.
18:38 The cost of that curio cabinet is upwards of $10,000 with its curved glass features- could be a much as $100,000 depending on the maker of the woodwork
This house would be amazing to do an editorial shoot for Vogue!!!
True)
His name is Genshiro Kawamoto and was arrested in Hawaii over 7 years ago. He had a lot of abandon property here in Hawaii as well.
That's who I thought it was aswell
How about his family?
and in California as well.
in 2018, in Tokyo, he was charged with tax evasion, and got a 4 year sentence.
Buena información
If he had money problems I’m wondering why he just didn’t sell some of his properties
legal money problems
Because money doesn’t solve his problem ?.........
@@silvanabianchi-echeguren1179 he literally had Mobey problems?
Sjakenlen prove it.
Living around all these statuses so creepy
Right haha! Thanks for commenting! You can see more about the place on my Instagram :)
I get a feeling of sadness from this place...it feels cold and lifeless...art gallery yes...home, not so much. Amazing find.
It is cold and lifeless.....people make homes not Things! Hoarding money while children die of hunger is criminal!
@@nifflofair6685 I disagree
@@nifflofair6685 Oh... you are probably one of those "wealthy haters". Many wealthy people do lots for the poor & give lots to charitable causes. By your 'standard' any extra money you try to save...or 'hoard', is wrong & should be given to the poor & hungry. See the problem with your statement? Probably not, so I'm gonna end this.✌✌
Well, it’s abandoned. 🤷🏿♀️
RudyLovesYou lmaoo the same thing I said
Seeing all this..the condition of everything after being left behind... says a lot about the respect the Japanese have for others.
I went there in the early 80's and they would just leave shops on the beach wide open and these temples all over just open all night with all kinds of expensive stuff in them! I couldn't believe the trust they have!
It brings dishonor to them and their family
they're also superstitious as hell lol
There is a hidden cameras!pick a piece of things inside people properties then you will faced the consequences in your whole life that you will regrets!The reasons why people in japan don’t touch or pick anything or get inside peoples properties!!
….they do not take the items because they believe (and know) that it is cursed and associated with mob /criminal / cartel.
This is the best of the best that I've seen yet on these abandoned places. Thumbs up
That was absolutely incredible! I've never seen anything like this in my life. Can't thank u enough for those amazing tours.
That house deserves to be a museum. It's absolutely breath taking
Japanese museums are very tasteful. This house would appeal to Sadam Hussein.
Do you know the coordinates of the abandoned mansions?
@@elisamondragon2849 So you can trash and rob these places?
@@SoramimiKeiki Bit of an assumption.
This is the most amazing abandoned mansion I've seen. The opulence, is beyond words. So sad that all that beauty is left to gather dust and decompose.
Why do I feel the compulsion to go and clean!!! 😄 who's with me?
Me too
Same!
Same here
I will help also 😷😷
K B we can all take a souvenir 😜
Woah your life lesson hit me: "Money isn't everything and valuable objects aren't everything... So (It's the) little stuff in life that's worth A LOT." Damn Man...
By far my favorite!! Upsetting to see something so beautiful going to waste at least its untouched! I'm hoping someone will be able to buy this place and take care of it
Japanese horror movie plot: foreigners come to Japan to cash in on this guy’s belongings. The statues possess those who remove them from the grounds leaving their souls trapped inside the statues.
On that theme.. what if he found the owners dead body in there...
Lol. Or the owner wanted to buy their properties. They wouldn't sell. So. He had them killed. He now could buy their properties. In order to hide the bodies, he had them made into statues. Now he can enjoy looking at his trophies. Bahahaha....
But wait, NoBS...it's rumored one statue contains millions, if you can find it, but no statue can be destroyed, or you void your winnings...(just riffing on your plot line)...
Write it
@Deefoxxy1000 hahaha... could make for a good movie.
The owner of the house should have a movie of his life bc it looks interesting for me
bebe xkaren great idea!
No one will share their dark stories! thats prohibited
xGARIDx What happened to the owner?
@@offlinetvmanager5991 he went to prison
Maybe it would be disgusting? Interesting at any rate.
This must been an incredible feeling to wake up in something like this
"Some people are so poor, that all they have is money"_Bob Marley
Why does this make me feel rich
@@GGOWO Because it is true, and you're rich if you live 'truth'. The truth associates only with those who practise it 😎
@@Tampinu thanks
@ֺ Some people don't mind being in prison, as long as the bars are made of Gold 🤔
@ֺ There's a difference between wants and needs. Almost everyone has enough...but almost everyone 'wants' more 🤔
The energy I am receiving from this mansion and all of the rooms is of lots of emptiness and lots of sadness and pain. Their was a big void in his life :(
I have to agree! It breaks my heart to see it but feel it too! A lost love brings deep depression. I would like to research this man and know what happened. A true story of it all! Pray the man is better and living a good life.
Thank you Steve for the adventures! Hope you can come back and go a bit slower to catch all the beauty.
Linda Carter lots of anger as well.
maybe so but so do the poor,plus they cant pay the rent...
Sharlin Combest do you think he killed himself
@@webbit1518 ya, they could turn this into a hospital

WHEN YOU ASKED ABOUT WHAT KIND STYLE I THINK IT IS CLASSICAL GREEK STYLE
Awesome video. You are so right there is a difference between a billionaire and a millionaire. This is the grandest place I've ever seen.
His taste though is out of this world. That's the most craziest and mind blowing house I've seen in my life! Abandoned or otherwise. I don't think anyone can beat that. I'm blown away.
Trust me this guy is still rich, when you have that much money you never go “normal people broke”.
How do you know how "broke " this guy is or isn't? Wondering for a friend 😉
I'm gonna have to disagree with you as my father was a millionaire and right now we are living on rent and on the verge of eviction,
The only reason we're still going on is cause my grandma pays for our rent and my studies.
Rich is cruel ugly and unfair to the universe. WHY??????????
@@auhbreykumming4429 For one thing he would be 88 years old if he is still alive. Still could possibly be alive, But too old to probably get around as fast as a 50 year old 60 year old would. He also had properties in hawaii and would give low income families houses that he owned. So he wasn't a bad guy. So not too smart with investment that he did. Or actually wise. Since he must've been smart to be a "Billionaire"
@@juliegranne6181 the universe? Really?
if i win the lotto i'm not buying a big house i only buy small house and then i will take vacation all over the world cause when you die you left everything
I rather buy huge home. Let tons of people live there rent free. Then one night, lock attack doors while late at night and set the whole house on fire and watch them try and get out

What an awesome video. With all the marble, statues, and bronze. So beautiful. Thank you so much.
If the billionaire had financial problems, I'm surprised that everything of value hasn't been put of for auction to recover what is owed.
Could a museum be notified to step in as a custodian for the most precious art? It should be protected from just rotting.
I wish too
I'm actually surprised they didn't seize it and sell it to pay his debts.
I wanna steal it
And looting, since anyone can just walk in.
GhostofAlexJonesss hahaha mind of a criminal i like it tho hahah
the room at 18 minutes in has on my estimate about $50k worth of furniture and art in it
The music. The vibe. The house. Best video ever and teaches me so much
If you want to know more. Look at Hawaii, he was letting out houses in Hawaii for free to single parent homes and allowed them to live there in his homes for a year for free, while they rebuilt their lives.
BlueHaired Rhino really??
Wow
That was nice of him to let them stay.
lrcz she said for free
Sorry but we need more details than "Look at Hawaii" what was his Name? what did he do for work?
I’m Japanese.
this is one of Genshiro Kawamoto’s mansions in Hawaii right?
He owns so many properties especially in Tokyo and Hawaii.
He is now around 85 and had been arrested for tax evasion last year 2018.
I wouldn’t call him a yakuza but he was connected with many underground people and was very influential person in underground society.
It’s maybe abandoned, but shouldn’t step in for no reason as it’s still his private property..
If he was convicted of tax evasion, will the gov't take the house?
Zel Zwrd yes true, very less power now days compare to their golden era.
Genshiro kawamoto
I also think that he is one of Yakuza members..
He's a luciferian
Steve, What a fantastic tour!!!! The first one of yours I have seen, thanks!!!
Reminds of the Johnny cash song 🎶 “Hurt” and the classic line “My empire of dirt.”
NIN. Cash covered it.
The house is actually very pretty, lots of light and is surrounded by nature!
"some kind of piano". Thats a desk
😆 I know right.
I thought that it was a mailing desk then a friend of mine whose a antique dealer said its actually a giant must box which you have huge rolls of different pieces of music on and you change the rolls for a different piece of music but he did tell me the name but the name was to antique for me say 😂😂
This was an awesome video. Thank you for this insight.
This whole video feels like a compilation of different styles of living rooms and different statues.
Gosh just imagine how many couches and chairs it has. I don’t even remember how his main living room looked like.
I'd be more worried about the statues getting destroyed not taken.
I'm curious to know why so many of them were knocked over.
@@carpo719 Earthquake perhaps?
1980Johnnie I was wondering if ppl from the area all know better than to touch anything in there.
Not sure he was hoarding. He could have been an art collector and dealer. His houses look like galleries to me. It’s actually a very smart way to create another stream of income.
No he was a real estate tycoon who was a slum lord with the homes he owned in Hawaii. It was so bad on the island of Oahu that the government got involved. I can't remember but either some or all the homes there were empty and all had zero upkeep. He owned so many properties. I lived there it was always in the news. He was not a good person.
@@TA-tf5lr ...can u tell his name..and his company name
@@TA-tf5lr so i just looked him up. this guy was definitely a hoarder lol. what made me raise eyebrows was the fact that he bought up like 20 properties off Kahala Avenue and then let most of them go to ruins AND then sold all of them to alexander baldwin real estate with some previous homeless families living in some of the mansions for FREE until they were told to relocate somewhere else. I would have at least sold the homes $1 each as a gift so they could live well off in beautiful mansions for the rest of their lives and future generations.
@@wwilson39 how could the homeless pay land fees, utilities, and taxes if they were given the mansion for $1?

I'm also having the same question in my mind...ND curious to know
It’s so crazy that this much stuff was left behind. This house is like a time capsule, everything is still perfectly preserved and in place...almost haunting
As is someone still maintains it right ?? Haha thats the feeling i get
This was and is probably my favorite Steve ronin video.
16:24 - That my friend is a Laufen Nautilus II and looks to come with a matching basin. Impressive. While I never had the privy of using a Nautilus, I did get the chance to use "The Venerable" made by Thomas Crapper.
"He lost everything"
Well we dont know that, he might be living in a place twice the size of the one, but in another land.
Right, he could be living the life in Cuban villa behind a mountain, never know!
Yeah these types always have some sort of nest egg in the tropics.
He definitely is. Dude was a gangster. Genshiro Kawamoto
Or he could be in that forest...
It is Japan that has the suicide forest right?
I'm not trying to be dark but if he lost it all because of the depression of losing someone it is a possibility.
I heard a story the other day about a man who had inherited over 100mil but because of the isolation due to covid he jumped off of his balcony in Beverly Hills.
@@TaraConti LOL... You believe everything you hear?
Finally an urban explorer with a heart and mindfulness. I hate watching all the others urban explorers cuz they think it's all a joke and have no respect.
The Proper People are pretty good too!
I would say the style is eclectic. Just makes my mouth water.
Love your dinning room, your room, the view, all them
Hate when people find out the locations of these places and ruin them.....
The interesting thing is that it's clearly a known exploration destination, unless the other people that we see in the video are people that Steve Ronin knows. People come up, check the place out, and then just leave it for the next people to see. No vandalism, almost no theft.
I'd definitely be doing some theft. Dead people are notorious for not caring about theft.
I don’t know why but i felt bad for him while i was watching the video... it feels like the statues represents the people because no one’s there for him... and those furniture, statues, artifacts makes him happy...
Kyla Caspe hes life ruins to artifacts statues furnitures and he is happy every single collection again and again that new to him!
hi steve i have watched many of your videos. i love art and history. i enjoy watching all of your videos. thank you for sharing your videos they are priceless.
It saddens me when places like these were left to rot like this. This should be turned into a museum...
"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" - Matthew 16:26
Not applicable to psychopaths. They are completely incapable of compassion, empathy and guilt. He probably feels like he is the victim in this whole mess.
Human's are without a soul, or purpose. The word "GOD" is widely misused by people that don't even comprehend what religion is. Mankind is comparable to adapted monkeys with the ability to create things out of "Imagination", even a non existent god.
Amen
ChemsRus Then where did we all come from? Even the Big Bang theory is a mystery, if you think about how the heck did all of this come about? Some things can be explained and some things can’t. Like truthfully in theory we don’t know how we came about because of the simple fact that we weren’t around, we did see it happen. We used science, dug around and looked for things because we wanted to know. But like I said how do we really know what is real and what is false?
@@nikkoleeful Amen sister! Yeshua said, "I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life...." John 14:6
When you understand the value of life, objects don’t matter to “some.”
I’m speechless! Unbelievable people can be this rich. I like the last place you showed to us. It’s all amazing but the last “villa” was phenomenal.
Oh what an experience walking through a Billionnaire's abandoned mansion/s. Thanks for sharing.
It's good that the Japanese aren't destructive, & thieves like us American's, those places would've been robbed blind & destroyed!💯 Those places are so gorgeous, hopefully curators step in to save that art
Speak for yourself
@@alys4570 i did speak for myself, if that place wss anywhere in a metropolitan city in the U.S that place would've been robbed empty after the first person ran across it! 💯 You're saying that wouldn't happen?
DUmb asshole I guess you can't tell that these places are clearly under watch. You don't just STEAL HUGE STATUES from a house and walk down the road with it.
@@stevepasquarella823 Japanese are more respectful than Americans though. You just confirmed that x
Ghetto Wedo America is full of people from around the world. Every country has had their brutal period. Look into the history of Japan, and you’re going to see that Japan is no better than any other country.
Despite being abandoned, the preservation of the building and its neat interior just shows how much respect the community has for properties and belongings
I love that glass bird sculpture with all the light shining though it!!!
It's all beautiful but I'd struggle to live a week there, let alone my whole life... just too much space and too much loneliness.
"money can't buy happiness" yeah whatever I'd rather be crying in my mansion than be sad and poor
Since my comment got people mad I just want to tell ya maybe money can't buy happiness but it makes one's misery comfortable
Exactly me to
😂😂😂😂 Facts
It’s true about that saying
Money cant buy happiness is a quote from someone who had never been poor.
"Some people are so poor, that all they have is money"_Bob Marley
The best abandon mansion I’ve seen
The owner had a really fancy beautiful taste
My mind is blown away
A room full of statues is hardly taste. Just my opinion.
Wow!!!! Thank you so much for this awesome video.
That "piano" around min five and a half is a secretary desk, lol. It has a bunch of drawers in the middle for stationary items and the roll top sides can cover notes as well as the locked drawer on the bottom. You probably didn't turn the key all the way, or sometimes they have a secret button you also have to press.
The killing of exotic animals just to throw their hides on the floor is atrocious human behavior imo
we can't all eat beans and tofu for the rest of our lives
It didn’t look real to me.
@@Constavlos oh so you eat tigers on a daily basis? LOL way to miss the point
Exactly
I completly agree...imagine maybe in a few thousand years something will hunt us and use our skins to decorate the floor. Baffles me!
By far this is one of the most sophisticated and gorgeous abandoned mansions I have ever watched ....marvellous marbel statues everywhere look so fresh n new....and it just give me a fright to think as why and who the owner is and why he had to leave this...the paniting is lovely....life is not only about money and valuable objects....I would rather choose a happy healthy life rather than diamonds...
I think one of the yakuza owns this, and left it behind
Me too
So many my clients told me thieves comes to their houses while they stuck abroad. Wau how would you feel if someone enter your home while you fighting corona in hospital abroad. Karma is free…
@@all_the_bad_news5614 haha, maybe you can try to get a job instead of looting other people homes? But if you already have a criminal record it may be hard, I understand…
Thank you for such a beautiful comment. Mi Yen. Be safe.
London England.🇬🇧
been watching your vids from the latest to this incredible abandoned billionaire's mansion and i think this is one of the best luxurious and gorgeous one.. thankyou for showing us, i'm from the Philippines by the way.. Keep Safe! 💕
Thank you for showing this mansion in all its beauty. I’ve watched some more recent explorer videos of this mansion from 2020 and 2022 and the place has unfortunately been vandalized by others. There is graffiti everywhere, mirrors and windows broken, and a lot of the furniture and statues have been tossed around and broken. I’m glad I got to see video of it before people destroyed the inside. The real estate tycoon that owns it is still alive, although I am not sure if he still owns this property or if the Japanese government has seized it to pay for his back taxes and fines. Either way. I’m sure they’re dismayed by all the damage done to the estate.
