- We are moving to Japan in 2022. With this video, we want to show you the traditional home of my grandparents, where we are going to stay in the beginning. My grandparents built this house 61 years ago in a traditional Japanese way. It is from a temple carpenter, and my family always took good care of it, so everything looks really beautiful. We will start our small tour through the house at our Japanese garden.

Our new Life in Japan.
We are Senka and Marco, a Japanese German couple. After living for two years together in Germany we decided to start a new life in Japan. With this channel we want to share our challenges and impression in Japan with you.
🏷We would like to introduce travel tips and tasty local foods!
🏷Not only famous places but also interesting rare places.
That is not a house, that is a masterpiece.
We Appreciate You ☺️
I agree, as an architect.
@@kikikons 🙏🤗
And with the sliding doors, taking no place. I adore this house. Cosy it is. And all the smart solutions, a house for compact living
I think it’s so nice that the granddaughter is living in this beautiful house
We are so happy about it.
The lady is deeply proud. Proud of her parents, her culture and heritage and history. I hope my grand daughter can have self esteem steeped in fidelity
That's kind of you to say. I wish you and your grand daughter only the best.
I really have become obsessed with japanese architecture, something about the wood tones, the natural materials, the cozy floors, the compact floor plans, the subtle verticality, everything just looks beautiful
I also like it..☺️ I’m impressed the old way of Japanese constructing. I guess the long time made everything look even more beautiful.
As a resident of Poland, I find great pleasure in experiencing aspects of Japanese culture, such as this traditional house.
We are happy to receive comments from all over the world. Many greetings to Poland 🇵🇱
This is what a perfect warm house looks like ❤️ I really hope Japanese people never give up those beautiful traditional houses 😢❤ It's so unique
Love from Egypt 🇪🇬
Many Greetings back from Tokyo. We will maintain this house from my family as long as we can 🙂
Minimal, functional, beautiful, cozy home. Thats japanese architecture.
The Japanese are so cool, I love their culture.
It makes us happy to read this 🤗
I had a dream of having a Japanese-style house like this. And your house is really beautiful. Not only beautiful but warm as well❤❤❤
Love a decently deep engawa, wise carpenters.
So glad it is appreciated. Grandpa would be proud.
We hope your dream will come true one day ☺️
That house is so gorgeous- all the details , the materials the craftsmanship and changing light - Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
🌸🙏
This bamboo ornament is awesome. All this Japanese home ambience is so unique. To me it feels like being a toy in a beautiful box. Very cosy ❤
That's kind of you to say.
I loved your home. Right now I'm visiting Japan for the first time and I watched your video. The house is beautiful, and your husband seems happy to live there. Now in Spain I am also going to live in my grandmother's house, and this video moves me to see how many of us continue to honor our grandparents even though they are gone ❤
Thank you for your comment. I hope you’re having a great time here in Japan🥰🇯🇵 What is your most favourite part of Japan?
That sounds great.💖I’m sure that your grandmother is happy that you’re living their house.😊💐
I envy you the opportunity to live in this house and to enjoy it. Japanese houses are my favourites, because of their ingenuity in building and the sheer beauty of it. As a German, I know that you appreciate the genius of these traditional buildings and their craftsmenship and attention to detail. Your smiling face said it all.
You need to see Karl and his wife, in a Japanese doco. He is an architect who has restored a number of Japanese houses and has brought a small village back to life again. He recently received an award from the Japanese government. I will try and find his last name for you, which presently I have forgotten.
Found it: Karl and Tina Bengs in Niigata Prefecture. Their doco is offered by NHK Japan.
Thank you for your recommendation. We need to watch this documentary. We love to explore other Japanese houses as well. It’s like opening a treasure box. 🌸
@@SenChannelvlog There are quite a few of these treasures. In addition to Karl and Tina Bengs, you must see Tokyo Llama and his restoration.
I thought Germany had cool versatile windows... Wow! This is ingenious!
Japanese once are really cool. But they are not very well isolated like German windows ☺️🌸
What a beautiful home and well designed for comfort in all seasons. I wish I can live in a traditional Japanese home too.
We hope your wish come true. Thank you for watching.
The most loving part of the video was when the lady of the house showed us the closet where she will pray in the morning and the evening. Every Hindu home has a mini temple for puja (prayer).
That is really interesting to know. Soon we will travel to India 🇮🇳☺️
This is such a gorgeous and peaceful looking home, and it is made even more beautiful with all of the memories, love, and history stored within every room. 💕
I like the style of Japanese homes -- the sliding doors/screens between the rooms, the furniture -- and no clutter.
Thank you for your comment. 🌸
The Japanese people really have taken the tiny house to an art form.
Wonderful house like in a ghibli movie. I just imagine how cool it would be when your grandchildren would play with you there.
I used to play Shogi (Japanese old board game) with my grandpa when I was a kid.☺️ My grandma always cooked tasty food for us whenever I visited here.🍲
I wish they were still alive so that my kid also can play with them..🙈✨
I miss the smell of tatami. I miss Japan so much. I hope one day I can go back. Your house made me day dream about it even more.
I understand. 🙈 I also like the smell of Tatami. It’s kind of relaxing.☺️I hope you can come back to Japan🇯🇵✨
I love the process and history of your home. The act of opening windows to allow natural light in reminds me off the act of mindfulness. Fully being present in the moment to ensure all the solid panels are stored correctly. I have recently bought a house in Tasmania Australia and I am finding it hard to connect with this building. I would love one day to bring these concepts into my home. I would love to see more of how your kitchen works.
Thank you for your comment. We also realized that there are many ideas hidden in this architecture.😊 I’m interested in seeing your house in Tasmania🏠🏝
Thanks for the roomtour! Looks interesting and comfortable 😊
New ideas for our holiday home in Ghana 🫣😍
Thank you, Johannes. It is comfortable but also a little cold as old houses are mostly not isolated. Moreover, we only use electro heater 🥶
@@ireneselormabiti9752 We hope to see also a roomtour of you guys one day 😆
Thes house is and art of a leaving legend one of the talented japanese carpenters.
We appreciate the person who built this house.🥰🏡
this house is incredible!! 😭❤
🙏🙏
Interesring house, plenty of privacy, Japanese seems to value privacy and quietness.Also very clean and notice how they keep away their things. clutter free.
Thank you☺️ We enjoy the view from our house and also quietness.🌳🦜
We’ll try to keep it as clean as possible 🙈✨
I remembered seeing a late relative of mine who was converted to Japanese religion praying to a small box in a corner of their home by opening a small door. After seeing your video, I finally understood the reason. Thank you! ❤
What a beautiful house with all the charm of Japanese houses. And you can tell it's been very well cared for. I can't say what I like best in it as I liked everything so much. The Butsudan reminds me of the Herrgottswinkel in the traditional houses in Bavaria. In addition to religious objects, the Herrgottswinkel also contains pictures of relatives who have already passed away. However, gifts such as tea and sweets are not brought, but things such as bouquets of herbs, sheaves of grain, fir branches and the like are brought on certain occasions. Thanks for the nice video!
Thank you for your comment.☺️
In Japan, we would also put pictures of deceased relatives and flowers close to Butsudan.💐👴🏻👵🏻 That’s very interesting that each country has some traditions and there’re similarities between them.
THE HOUSE IS SO PEACEFUL BY ITS NATURE JUST LOVE IT!!
FROM INDIA
Thank you ❤️ We visited India last year and enjoyed it a lot! 🤗🇮🇳Greetings from Japan
Your home is absolutely gorgeous!💕🌸💕
It reminded me of my great grandparents home in Kyushu. Their home was a farm home so it was a bit bigger when I saw it. Sadly it’s no longer is in the family. Only one of the smaller home are in the family. My great grandparent had 10 children so I’m sure they had to build on to the original home that was over the 500+ years old when I saw it. Although it didn’t have all the wonderful modern amenities that your home has.
I noted that some things don’t change. Example the entrance with the different levels, the outside sitting area with its own sliding doors, the hall that goes around the home, the storage areas tucked away out of sight, the carved wooden panels over the sliding doors, how a room can be changed around to make other rooms and especially the underfloor “heating”.
I would have loved to have seen a picture of the table out with the blanket over the table keeping everyone warm.🥰 Of course there are other things that all Japanese homes have but those are what I remember the most.
The memories, I can recall like it was yesterday, was the scent of the “non-modern” Japanese homes. I love that scent.❤
I think it’s the wood structure or maybe the floor mats that had that smell of fragrant woods…cypress or cedar?
How I miss that scent and my family as well.
Your video made me cry bitter sweet tears.
Thank you for bringing back memories of beautiful times.
🙏🏻🌸🙏🏻
My mother is Japanese and my father was American in the military when they met.
My father spent 8 years in Japan during the war. He truly loved the people, culture, and the nature that was everywhere. My father was a very generous and friendly. He would talk to anyone that would talk with him. He learned how to speak Japanese quickly and was always studying how to read and write Japanese too.
My father said he thought Japan was one of the most beautiful places he had ever been.
So much of my father’s knowledge and experience was spoken of all my life. Everything from the folk dances, good, different ways of fishing for different kinds of seafood, polite customs etc. My father always said that learning how to be “polite” (in all kinds of countries) will never keep you back due to fear or close a door that could have been left open because you didn’t know what to do or act.
He was loyal his country but he truly loved Japan.
My father always planned for us to move back to Japan permanently, whatever it took.
Unfortunately, he passed away before that could happen.
If things had gone to his plan I would have been 12 years old when we moved back to Japan. I really wish his wish would have happened.
When I finally found my Japanese family after 40 years of separation, they had had moved from Kyushu to Nagoya for the new family business. How I found them was a miracle and so unexpected.
A story for another day. That’s when I understood why my father wanted to move back to Japan and why he loved Japan so much. The first time I went to see my mother’s family, I didn’t want to leave. I would stay up at night trying to figure out how I could stay. I know my aunts and uncles would have taken me in but I didn’t want to do that for more than it would take to find an apartment. They were all so wonderful to me…
Now I have CFS/FMS for over 26 years and it’s getting worse. So now I’m restricted to watching CZcams videos and wishing I had gone to Japan when I was 18.
Again, thank you for your post.🙏🏻🌸💕
We hope that you will be fine soon. Thank you for sharing this personal story with us. Your father must have been a wonderful person. It’s impressive that he learned to speak Japanese so quickly. We hope that you will be able to visit the remaining house of your family in Japan. It must be challenging and exciting to have parents from two different continents 🌸🌸🌸
I have to say that I am extremely jealous. The reason being that I lived in a similar situation in the late 1960's early 1970's. I loved the smell of the new tatami that we slept on with the typical Japanese bedding.
Oh wow, is the house still existing? The smell is amazing but winters can be cold in those old houses 🏠❄️😊
I love how you take the time to describe the different elements of the house (Like the Engawa). I learned much watching this video. My favorite part was the picture of grandfather sitting in that part of the house.
The japanese truly are like no other people. You guys rock!
Thank you for your comment! 🥰
What an amazing house!! Fell in love with it. ❤❤
I appreciate you saying that 🤗
Thank you for the tour of your beautiful home.❤
I have been dreaming of moving to Japan's countryside since childhood. Got married to my best friend who also has similar dreams. May we make it, Amen!
That’s amazing that you are married to a best friend who has similar dreams✨✨I’m happy for you and I hope you guys the best.🥰🌸
This was everything I needed ❤ so heartwarming and relaxing.
Such a neat concept. I love it.
Thank you for your introduction! Your home looks comfortable. What a thoughtful design!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful home. My heart is warm, and I'm happy, thinking about a nice place like that, and now she can continue to make memories there where her grandparents lived. It's a lovely thought.
Very, very beautiful home!
What a beautiful place, I love it ❤
Vielen Herzlichen Dank ! Wunderbare Tour aus der Vergangenheit !
Vielen Dank ☺️
Such wonderful craftsmanship gone into the design of the traditional Japanese House.
Loved the hidden trap door in floor for eating and lovely sliding doors.
Wishing you both blessings and good health Simon and Beth watching from England 🇬🇧 ❤🙋
Bless you both.
Just came across your channel today. I love Japanese traditional homes and love Toshifumi Hinata music. I actually worked 18 years for a Japanese Company in El Paso, Texas. Got to know and fall in love with their culture. Very respectful, clean simply all is just beautiful. I love where in your home you can say Hi to your ancestors plus I also loved where you could warm your legs. You mentioned the sweet memory of your grandmother sitting down and putting on her makeup ❤ .
I‘m happy that you liked it.☺️ And you worked such a long time in a Japanese company :0! Did you get a chance to visit Japan?♡ You probably know a lot about Japanese culture.🌸 Greetings from Tokyo 👋
Im just watching but I can feel the warm hearts of those who lived there
My grandparents must be happy to hear that.🥰
BEAUTIFUL - THANK YOU !
😊🌸✨

おはようございます🧸
わ～ミカンの木があるんですね
収穫楽しみですね
ご主人のモーニングルーティン、Goodですね👍
雪見障子なんですね✨
掘りごたつまであるんですね、立派なお宅ですね😃
ありがとうございます💐
みかんもだんだん身が大きくなり色づいてきて、木が重たそうにしています🍊🌳
本格的に寒くなる前に東北に旅行したいなぁと思っていますが、おすすめはありますか☺️？🌟
雪が降り始めると難しいですが
山形と宮城の県境の「蔵王の御釜」とか😅
山形県なら、レトロな「銀山温泉」や「立石寺」(1000段以上の石段がキツイですが）
宮城県なら、「中尊寺」や「秋保温泉」、「松島」
福島県なら、「鶴ヶ城」や「磐梯山」、「大内宿」
新潟県は東北ではないですが、気候が良くて6月に見頃の「大野亀のカンゾウの花」、「佐渡金山」、「北沢浮遊選鉱場跡」（佐渡）などですが・・・
東北旅行”ここがオススメです”と言えずにすみません🤣
I have enjoyed this
Happy to hear that 😊🌸
Lovely. I always enjoy seeing Japanese construction, design and woodworking. Arrigatou gozaimshita! Vielen Dank!
