  • Ever wondered what a brand new Japanese house looks like? Well, join me on a complete guided tour of a new home in Edogawa, Tokyo, Japan. (correction: ¥4,880,000JPY is about $43,500 USD right now, not $37,000, sorry)
    Special thanks

    Here in 🇯🇵, when somebody is looking for a house or any apartment to rent or buy, realtors or agents will make sure that they will explain all in details about the house, location, and even will gonna drive you to the place not just once but to all your prospect homes that you want to look at. They have a detailed plan/brochure of the design, size, it's distance to the nearest supermarkets, train stations etc. Plus the minimalism design is perfect and so clean you would want to rent all of them! When it comes to safety, while it's not perfect or crime free, japan has no issue with it coz even bikes or doors can be unlock.

In the UK you could not leave your door unlocked even to go to a local shop for some essential supplies. Got to lock the door and close the windows and if you go away it is essential to use the window locks even for a week's holiday, close the gate, if you have 1, and even use timed light switches to make it look like someone is home at night.

Single pane windows until just recently? No central heat? No sink in the toilet area? No clothes dryer? A dishwasher that wouldn't even hold our breakfast dishes? The door stopper was cool though.

The Agent so patiently took a detour of the house and explained each and every feature in detail with some background of laws in Japan. He was also so transparent with everything, unlike Real Estate Agents in some other countries who would lie to customer just to get the deal and leave it to customer to suffer. Technology wise, Japan really rocks! Sinks attached to the flush to reuse the water, brilliant in saving resources!

      Plus look at the cost of homes compared to their size. If you're claustrophobic don't go to Japan unless your a millionaire. Rents? $400 a/month for an apartment 1/6th the size of my GARAGE, NO BATHROOM, A/C and dilapidated, dirty. Not counting all the other negatives associated with Japan.

      You can definitely get them here. The big Japanese toilet company is Toto. They have a factory in the USA and make the toilets here. The toilets function very well in terms of flushing robustly while conserving water. You buy the seat that matches if you want the warmth, the bidet, washing/drying functions. But a standard western style seat will fit if you can't afford both at once. The American manufactured Toto I bought about 5 years ago cost just a little over $200.00 at the time, standard wax ring installation. The seat would be maybe another $450. If you check out Home Depot or Lowes you can find competing seats, or just the bidet functions in a small gadget for far less cost.

      It's insane. I'm half Japanese, when my Japanese grandparents moved into their new home 10 years ago, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a completely standard Japanese apartment. But you could let water in the bath by pressing a button in the kitchen, regulate the bath-water temperature the same way, Outdoor camera - doorbell ystem (which were, at the time, nowhere else in the world except in the wealthiest places), and the parking lot...., man, the parking lot. Although integrated, moving parking lots have become more common for wealthier apartment complexes in the western world too, I have still yet to see such a futuristic, complicated one like the parking lot of my grandparents. It's like in a transformers movie, you press a button and your car comes to you, somewhere from several stories and tens of meters away.

I always thought I'd want a house with a backyard, but honestly, I don't miss it. And you're right, no maintenance needed. Whenever I want green or open space, there's places I can easily get to. Also, the side streets are very pedestrian friendly, so kids will often play out on the street without worry about cars running them over.

In the summer, it's up by like 4:30~ am. By 6:30~ pm, the sky is completely dark. I feel like Japan needs to be moved back one timezone, or at least practice DST or something. Idk it could just be that I'm spoiled by where I come from. Here in Phx, the sun is up by 5 and it's not really dark until 9.

    I had lived in Osaka for more than a week and it was a sensational experience. It's a country that full of "convenience" ideas, with regard to transportation, food, establishments that is at your fingertips , and even the people were so polite that they will help you if they feel you've lost your way.
    I just thought about residing in Japan, but I need to learn their language first, for me to not feel the "homesick" that the usual foreigner living in other countries had experienced.
    This is also the country that is full of innovators. You can see it right throughout the video if you watched until the end, that even the smallest things they can market it and make you believe that it is important to your life(don't get me wrong, I am not pertaining that they are lying to you to buy their stuff, I have never experienced that during my trip, I just noticed their conviction to everything they want to sell).

      easy access to denmark, due to open borders. in copenhagen 78% of all crimal activities are done by people, that have no european ethnicity. in germany this statistic will properly look even worth and you have no public access to it anymore.

    • @dinkycat
      @dinkycat Před 7 lety +23

      we dont own guns. you can only do self defense if your almost dying, if you hurt the intruder more than you are or kill them you get jail time or sued.... we can't put cameras up outside if it films public areas. you can't take pictures of suspicious people, it can't be used as evidence, unless you have many witnesses who saw them do stuff.... and the police force is so little and they are always doing something more important...the open borders are the worst part, its just to easy.

      In Brazil, they will show you a small house/apartment acting like you were about the buy a palace and become a count. If you don't make the deal they will call you every 3 days.
