This is a Japanese Home Tour of a $400,000 house in Tokyo. This 60,000,000 JPY House tour is pre-renovation so it may look a bit rough. It's a 160 square meters, 44 year old, 4LDK house with 2 garages and a backyard sitting on 181 square meters of land. So in Japan, housing properties are evaluated based on the land value plus the building value. In Tokyo, the average land value is about 1.2M yen 8110 USD per square meter, while in this area, on the outskirts, it averages about 330,000 yen / 2230 USD per square meters, which would value this house’s land at around 400,000 dollars. But since this house was built in 1980, has been poorly maintained, left un-renovated with no one living here for 3 years, the house value in Japan is considered close to zero. Therefore, a total valuation of 400,000 USD. This Tokyo house is a 12 minute walk away from Komae train station, which has many shops and cool restaurants and of course a supermarket. Also, about a 20 mins train ride from Shinjuku station, this area has a down to earth relaxing vibe and my favorite 3 breweries in the area with one just across the street.

I wish I had that house.
I live Tokyo Japanese man
Your movie tell me new things about Tokyo
You know about Tokyo better than most Japanese Who live Tokyo
would love a follow up video once its renovated
it looks like sailor moons parents house lol
Thank you! This was interesting. Was that a cell tower outside the house at 15:30?
Would love to see the house after renovations
Would love to see vids on the renovations.
And breakdown of the costs too. 😊
And how the price will be double.
So would I.
I came here to say the same thing 😃 I hope his friend lets him film the house again!
I swear this is the home from The Grudge. Paolo, run!!!
Hahaha dude I thought the same thing
I made the same comment. 😂
hahahaha you made me laugh, dude. That's really hard to do. Rock on wit yo bad self!
The Grudge had money..... 🤑
It's not, the house in the Grudge didn't have wood paneling in the entry.
Awesome video as always Paolo. This house has quite a lot of treasures in it I hope your friend took the time to go through the cabinets and save the treasures. I also like to see it when your friend is done with the renovations.
Yes PLEASE keep us updated and show us the results! I’m excited to see what the place will look like 😊
For a house built in the 1980s the house is in remarkable shape. Great potential.
In Japan, the reason why old homes are disliked and usually demolished is the hidden damage through the years of accumulated stress from Earthquakes. Generally when you buy a home you'd also best hire some people to check the integrity of the home, and to see for any of those hidden factors. Even if you don't see mold, there might be hidden mold in the walls as well (Paolo having an allergic reaction could be due to that, but I hope that's not the case & that it was just some dust/pet stuff)
My wife who's Japanese says that 80's are already kinda risky and it'd be better to have a home built during the late 90's due to the updated building regulations.
Europe has houses built during the Victorian era which are still lived in. But then again, they don’t have earthquakes there
@@user-op8fg3ny3jEurope has some houses built a 1000y ago, in city centers, so yeah.
@@user-op8fg3ny3j and many here in the uk are built to keep the cold out and heat in...meaning when it comes to summer/heatwaves... good luck ;P
It's not just earthquakes, most homes have taken no damage from earthquakes. The issue is the quality of materials used in Japanese homes are cheap and terrible.@@KoinzellGaming
YES! We will need a follow-up video of what it looks like completed after renovations. I love seeing this aspect of life in Japan!
As always, I thoroughly enjoy your videos Paolo! It really makes me want to move to Japan. Just such a beautiful and well taken care of country!
This place has SO much cool potential! I'd love to see a video on how it turns out in the future 😀
what’re you doing here Mario maker man
wow the last man i tought ill meet here.
I live in a more rural area of Japan (Mie Prefecture) and I had assumed that a house in Tokyo would cost way more than a comparable one here. But actually, the place that Paolo shows us is not too far off what I’d expect for the same price here. Maybe about 20% higher? My family just recently finished building a house here, and the total cost was just a little less than the place in this video, including construction and land. I video blogged the whole process, if anyone is interested!
Is it the same kind of house sir
I hope you put insulation in your new place. Most Japanese houses are too cold!
@@missplainjane3905 No, The place Paolo introduced was basically traditional Japanese with a Scandinavian twist. From my place, we went with a traditional Japanese wood-frame construction, but the house itself is has a “modern rural” aesthetic.
well, tokyo is a big place.
it's in Komae, which is quite far from the central areas
@@GameFuMaster good point. Land value in that area is of course a lot lower than central Tokyo.
Awesome video! Love the variety from the food show. Please show more different areas of Japan. You are such a great videographer and presenter.
the house has a lot of potential😊 and it would be interesting to see what it will look like after the renovation, nice video like always paolo ❤
The fact that we get free videos on CZcams by Paolo is truly a gift ... Keeping the knowledge and entertainment alive. 👏👏👏
Don't give him ideas lol
@@greeneclipse8088 Probably a bot, you can see that message on most yt videos.
w
@@greeneclipse8088😂
Every video is basically an advertisement…Get off of your knees
I'm definitely interested in seeing more about that home and the renovations.
I'm curious how the cost of deep renovations would compare to demolition and a new build. I understand that the latter is a common practice in japan.
Why?
Me too! You can find many house videos of new builds but renovation seems rare in Japan.
Looks great!! So much potential! im suprised by the amount of space, certainly better than expected. Pleasantly surprised 🎉🎉
I love these types of videos. Thank you.
Feels like we will see a Paolo & Miko home tour in 1 or 2 years 😊. It would be great to see this house again once it’s renovated.
That's what you said 1 or 2 years ago. 🤣
Wdym ?@@KP-xi4bj
It saddens me to hear that it will be an Airbnb. It looks like a lovely home to start a family in! Ah, but one can dream. Please do show us the results when it's renovated!
It saddens you? Children starving should sadden you. Senseless violence should sadden you. Hate should sadden you. But an Airbnb saddens you? Jfc That’s pathetic. You need help.
This series does soujd pretty informative for people who plan on buying a house in Japan. Make more please!
Wow! Can’t wait to see how this is renovated.
Was just in the mood for Japan house tour videos and then Paolo-san uploaded this!!?? ありがとございます！！！！！
actually for just 400k in Tokyo area it seems like a good price and has lots of potential. Wonder if Paolo is looking for ahouse for the family ;-)
@@johnair1 exactly I was shocked to see the quality for such a price in Tokyo really great property
Just needs a good gardening makeover and a touch of an update to 2024, lick of paint and try to lessen the orangey wood panels ... would love to see the results of full renovation!
there is zero insulation in those days, even now very little...so you need to guy the exterior walls, insulate with rockwool as great in high humidity, Do R25 walls, R40 min in ceilings... redo pipes if not copper..., new electric, new baths, kitchens, must get triple pane windows, new insulated security doors. $440,000 usd in renovation to like new and very warm. Need to add heating..I would dig down across from single garage and add heating , central AC air cleaning, dehumidifier system, HVR would be nice...if you go this route another $80,000...landscaping, costs over runs round off to $600,000 usd costs...plus if roof is still good, or add another $40,000 redo in good metal roofing...then total costs $640,000 usd or 100,000,000 Japanese yen... house warm, no mold, pollen problems, very low heating costs. Those gas outputs you saw , if they are gas then make the heating system natural gas central forced air heating... some models now 98% efficient and you have central air , dehumidifier, air cleaning with same system... I would get bid for new construction, reinforced concrete...might be cheaper
Can't wait to see what your friend does with the renovations!
I like this format, hope to see more videos like this, and I’d love to see this house after renovation
Interesting! Would love to see more tours like this
Yes, yes interested in seeing the renovation later thank you so much for sharing
Love to see the outcome of the renovation.. we hope to see more of house tours ❤️
I love these types of videos!!!
Someone’s ready to move to the burbs, right Paolo? With Japan’s ultra low interest rates , acquiring this type of house is extremely affordable. Put $80-$100k of renovations and you have a great property! Can you do a video post renovation please?
日本在住だからか毎週見やすい時間に投稿してくれて助かる
なるほど
海外チャンネルの投稿時間が真夜中とかバラバラな理由の一つかも
チャンネル通知を使用すると思う 😊
Intrested to see how this house turns out !
I enjoy videos that show how people live and the details of daily life. This was very interesting. Thank you.
Would totally watch the finished reno. This was interesting.
we definitely wanna see more
i love this kind of videos, pls keep this kind of videos going 👌
really fun to see, also to know different prices and places. thank you for the video ^^
Cool insight. very informative, would love to see more
I have been following your page, and i must say i love the news but please post a video of the renovation when the building is already done, anyways I'm 47yrs old and i bring good news here, $73,000 biweekly and I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways!!!
Awesome how do you make such monthly, am a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 😭 of myself because of low finance but I still believe God😞
It's Maria Angelina Alexander doing she's changed my life. A BROKER- like her is what you need.
$700K monthly is something you should feel differently about....
Lovely! I enjoyed it like I enjoy a $100k monthly around the turn!!!
If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, she's my family's Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!!!
I’d love to see this house after the renovations! It’s a nice house!
Another awesome video ^^
So interesting!! Great vid. You always have great ideas for videos
@2:15 ~ Saw the lights flicker more than once. Please let your friend know to get the house blessed, Paolo!
probably just a electrical wiring issue - nothing to worry about.
lol bruh tell me you’re joking
That Seiko clock probably has more values than the house itself
Probably some of the booze too! 😅😅
Would love to see more!! Thank you!!!
I’ll definitely want to see what it looks like during, and after the renovation, the space has so much potential with a little more investment.
love to see videos about the Tokyo real estate !
Not sure if this is helpful, but I like every video you put out not only because of the content, but the quality, effort, and enthusiasm you put into each one. I'd watch you review water boiling if it's on par with all your other videos
Great work please upload more
Interesting. More videos like this Paolo!👌
Nice! I'd move in as is and fix it up over time, since a lot of the issues are cosmetic. It's a shame that a family didn't get a chance to purchase it. Affordable housing is hard to find, and it seems like Airbnb units are taking away opportunities from young families to purchase a home. I'd definitely put in another tree - maybe a yuzu, lemon, cherry, plum or mandarin. Clean up the garden space and garden outdoors. Use the patio area for barbecues, etc.
Exactly! I would love to move in to that house 😥
New Paolo!! Yes!!!
I love house tours! I would love to see more! ❤🎉
I'd totally move there and be happy. Thanks for the very interesting insights
Hey Paolo! Please do a video on the renovation process and how the house turns out eventually! 😊
When Paolo first entered the house and it showed the stairs, all I was thinking about was Kayako when she came out in the corner, coming down the stairs. It still looks good to live in though. Hope you update us once the renovation is done!
Really great content! I would love to see one with a range of values!
I would love to follow the renovation on this house. It’s awesome 👏🏻
Awesome job bro drop a like
Dear Paolo and Family, I hope you are still making videos when you are 80. 💖💖 I enjoy them so much, thank you for sharing an amazing corner of the world!
Great video and I'd love to see the renovations ❤
Please show the final results, the costs, everything!!! Great video again, Paolo!
Arrigato Gozaimasu Paolo!! 5 Star vlog content once again!!
I would love to see updated videos of the renovation process. The yard has so much potential. Would love the see how the kitchen will be updated.
Yes, yes, yes!!! Please show the renovation process of you can. Would love to see how it turns out!😊
I hope we get a video once it is renovated and all the details with the renovator himself for more depth details
Nice vid as always. The Rivella is a popular drink from Switzerland
And what makes it a unique drink is the facty that it's produced from milk whey.
I am excited to see what this house is going to be :)
That house looks lovely
I would like to see a video of during and after the renovations!
Should the title be What You Get With $400k for a Tokyo Home?
What 400,000$ will get you in the Tokyo real estate market. Sounds more professional.
Komae city is far from Tokyo central area. country area
(I am Tokyo living)
Different wording, same meaning. Big whoop.
@@betsylindsay8480 no it's not different wording, his title is improper. A house can't get you anything, the money is what's getting the house.
@@betsylindsay8480not the same meaning. Tf is $400k house gonna get me? Do I sell a house and get $400k and spend it?
Definitely a cool place with a lot of potential!
I absolutely love this home. It has tons of character and I love the lot. I am looking for a place to retire and this is awesome
I would love to see how someone would renovate it. Great bones in this house, needs updating but could be spectacular.
I would definatley like to see the stages of renovation !!
Yes, more house tours!
Love the outside garden spaces,,❤
Yes please follow this renovation project
An amazing house!!! I would love to see the finished renovation.
very interesting and different video. quite refreshing. I would love to see how the renovations are and what the costs would be. of course a final tour would be amazing
Please please please film and show the renovations! Love it Paolo!
Looks nice I would buy it. In the Vancouver area, you can barely get an apartment for 400k
I love tatami mats! I think they should keep all the tatami rooms and a little bit of the vintage wall paper and furniture, but discard the flooring in the bathroom. The bathrooms and kitchen do need some work for sure.
Though I feel like it would be nice if it was an actual home instead of the Airbnb.
It would be nice to see the renovations when they are done 😍
this house has so much potential!
Yes full Reno,costs, before/after and all the issues along the way. Thanks
Depending on the design, and cost your friend has a great idea to make this a B&B! Yes I want to see this covered in the future!
yeah would love to see it...
More videos like this would be AWESOME!!!
That house is nice and HUGE! Would be perfect for your family and office space combined!
I would love to see it after it's done but personally I would love to have it I do not think I would change a whole lot to it I actually like the structure and the layout the yard would have to have something done with it
Agree with you. I would take it as is and just do some handyman type fixes like the cabinets with the scratches and add flooring or carpeting in the one room and make sure that water and TV and fiberoptic internet is set up. Also make sure the AC and heater and toilets work. Most of this work could be done gradually. Having two garages is a bonus in Tokyo. Perhaps the boxes in the second garage have some useful items for the house. I can clear the weeds in the yard and have rocks and pavers and a Zen garden put in. Would try to get the price down to $300,000 to $350,000. The house is old, but the Japanese build solid structures and good quality.
Yes please. House tour after renovations. 😊
This is a cooool video!!!
Such a great house honestly.. you don't even have to do anything to it, has a lot of charm as it is!

Hi PaolofromTOKYO🇯🇵
I can't believe now big the rooms are and amount of storage! Even the ceiling height is good....and the yard. I would love to see your friend's renovation process.
Def wanna see the complete renovation journey!
I would love to build a sauna in the backyard
That's Hajime Isayama, the creator of Attack on Titan's house. Lol
I'd be very interested in seeing how that place looks when the renovation is finished.
Great video
That house is crazy good value for 400k especially with having 2 garages and looks like space for 2 cars outside parking too
its a house on the market for 3 years, there's a reason why no one is buying it
The way this house could be easily 2 million in Canada
hah yah he garages themselves could probably go for $500k
