DISCOVERING JAPAN
Japan
Приєднався 22 лют 2020
We travel to the most distant and rural parts of Japan, where no Gaijin had set foot before. Join us on our journey to discover Japan beyond Shinjuku and Shibuya.
Moving to our new home in Japan | From Tokyo to rural Saitama | DISCOVERING JAPAN
We have finally done it! After 6 months of searching we found a place that fits our budget and our life style. Both of us love nature and would like to spend more time outside bird watching and hiking! But today's video is not a house tour but rather about the process of moving houses in Japan. ENJOY!

Five bedrooms house for $44,000? Is it possible? Worth the investment?
Переглядів 1,4 тис.Рік тому
We are going further away, to Ibaraki prefecture. It is still within a 2-hour train ride from central Tokyo, which is a requirement for me. The house is very cheap and also very close to the station! But is it really that good or maybe we better get something else?
Can we really afford a place in Tokyo? Dead man's home...

We are still looking, and this time it is time to see the big one - the Tokyo city itself. Although nowhere near central Tokyo, it is officially located in it which means the taxes are higher. My wife really liked the place but I an not too sure...
I am buying a slum in Saitama?! Worth it?!

We are still looking to buy an apartment not far away from Tokyo, on a budget. One particular offer caught my eye and we decided to check it out. The proximity to the rail tracks worried me, but little did I know that would be the least of my worries....
Tokyo 3 room apartment for only $500 rent??? My Tokyo house tour!
Переглядів 34 тис.Рік тому
Today I will show you the apartment we are trying to leave when we buy our own. We have lived there for one and a half years already and generally like it but would like our own place. Costing 75,000 yen per month, considering its size, location, and accessibility, it is considered very cheap. Some one-room apartments in Tokyo cost more than that. So, welcome to my home!
Too good to be true?? Buying a house in Japan...

We went to Saytama this week to see a two-story house for a beautiful price (around $65,000). It seemed to have everything: proximity to the train station, school, supermarket, and a furniture store. I was very excited and was ready to tell them I wanted to buy it. But then my wife told me about one detail...
I am buying a haunted house in Japan?!

We are looking to buy a house and settle down, but the prices in Tokyo are very high, and there is no real need for me to live there as I work from home. So we started looking for options in the rural areas and discovered a suspiciously cheap house....
DISCOVERING JAPAN | Tokyo Port Wild Bird Park
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
In this video, we went to see birds in their natural habitat in Tokyo Port Wild Bird Park. Although it is hard to call this place rural, it is not a common tourist location. Most people who come here are birding enthusiasts but bird watching can also be enjoyed by the common folks like us and does not require special equipment, although bringing your own binoculars is a huge plus. Enjoy!

We have visited a very famous tourist spot of Tsukiji, have tasted some sea food and also went to not-so well-known Tokugawa Ieyasu's park where he used to take walks, rest and write Haiku poetry. We did not write any Haikus but we did enjoy some great Japanese Green tea.

After the Nikon 10-20x50 Action I bought in a second-hand store here in Japan disassembled in my hands after two weeks of use, I decided to buy a new pair of binoculars. Helios brand seems to specialize in astronomy so I went for that, although I plan on taking them on all of my trips and not limit myself to stargazing. I also bought a Vismix harness to keep my hands free. First Light Optics (n...
DISCOVERING RURAL JAPAN | Yukari, Chiba
Переглядів 158Рік тому
We are currently looking to buy an apartment in Japan but due to our limited budget, our options are located in more rural parts of eastern Japan, 2 to 3 hours away from the center of Tokyo on train. Thanks to the good train infrastructure, it is easy to travel in Japan only by train and have fun. This is our trip to Yukari, Chiba.

I gather the bird is your wife's pet, not yours.
Bro really wants to get rid of that parrot 😂 "this is my air purifier which the parrot uses to mastu*bate" 🤣🤣🤣
bruh at least clean your apartmet before filming a tour of it, just a advice i mean it's pretty nice but would be better if you cleaned it before
Thank G-d I live in America, we have space...my walk in closet is bigger than that apartment.
😭😭
That's it??? No cute noises He just takes a dump on the floor???
This was hilarious
How did you find the apartment? Most agency offers are too high.
I decided what is important for me and what is not. I wanted to be able to travel to my office without train changes (which ended up being not important at all). Then we decided on the Business budget - 80000 tops. We started looking on homes.co.jp, found some places we liked and contacted the agent. They showed us some more offers in that area. Eventually we made a 2 day trip from Fukuoka to see the apartments in person and decided on this one.
you so fortunate to find a big place like this for so cheap in the central area. wow nice! good thing you moved out from israel
kitchen ,bathroom and toilet seems pretty good , it will be cheap to renovate
it is non rebuildible it seems , thats the reason why it is cheap
Saitama sounds fun
Ah, it looks nice, can't wait to see more!
תתחדשו, בשעה טובה! מחכה לוידאו בשמורת הטבע שהזכרת שנמצאת קרוב אליכם
Почему только сегодня?!
Делать ролик сил не было
Thank you for the info. We were at Shinagawa this was closed to our hotel. Next visit to Japan, definitely will put this on our agenda 😊
Mosquitos can be flying up to 2000 meters. A lot of birds hunt them high up in the air.
Price was not bad for most of them despite them needing a ton of renovations.
Real! Like the slow traffic calming & quiet lifestyle... My California beach car -centric lifestyle has great weather ..but is "crazy noisey" during rush hour...a typical American life plan. ☺. Thanks for sharing your home and the nice clean neighborhood ...well done! Maybe Osaka...I'm retired! Love Tokyo! Ps. Family Mart ... luv it! (:
the price of housing in japan is crazy.... i brought my house in france for 140 000 €... and it was build in 1959... and i have a lot of work to do in it ! recent house is like 200k 250k etc thinking you can get old house for 35k in japan...
5:38 חחחח גדול 😂
i guess you mean eastern part of tokyo, not western? western would be shinjuku,suginami,nakano,nerima,setagaya...
can a tourist rent an apartment like this in japan?
The standard contract is for 2 years with penalty if you leave early. So I don’t think so 😞
@@DiscoveringRuralJapan thank you.
I like this area you should keep looking here
The matter is fancy is NOT really necessary BUT neat clean and tidy. Every step is messy and towel on a bed seriously? I'll kill my daughters for that 😅 A place to live should be clean and neat even not fancy.
are there american companies recruiting employees in Japan?
I have no idea if american companies specificly are recruiting, but it seems everyone is recruiting, even from abroad. Some people don‘t speak a word of japanese either.
Please clean and organize your apartment. This is the first youtuber apartment I saw that looks ugly.
So it makes me stand out from the crowd! Awesome!
@@DiscoveringRuralJapan😂
The one thing to remember is remodeling can be done over time,fix the most critical issues to be able to move in and over time save up and do a couple projects till the home is perfect. The first home a a deep cleaning and some paint and have the house blessed and you will never regret it ,easy to find the owner of the shrine ground in the locl goverment lnd office,coulf be bought and made into a nice garden space..
Everything is so tiny
That is awesome, thank you for sharing your living space! If you don't mind me asking, what do the both of you do for a living? Also, do you speak fluent Japanese or some? Were you forced to learn it for work?
Hey, thanks for watching! I work remotely as a software developer. My wife works part time as an accountant in a nearby shopping mall. My wife speaks only Japanese. I have studied for two years in Japanese language school in Fukuoka, it was my choice because I wanted to do something new. After I finished the studies I started looking for work and found the company I work for for now, they asked me to move to Tokyo. I am far from fluent, especially when it comes to reading but I get by one way or another.
@@DiscoveringRuralJapan that is amazing, sounds like a journey! And you are living in Tokyo as well, the dream city!! Happy for you! Did you feel like having a Japanese wife made it easier for you to integrate into japanese society? As opposed to a foreign couple trying to move to Japan but is just starting to learn the language?
Actually the reason I was looking for a girlfriend in Fukuoka in the first place was to practice my Japanese :D Languages are like STDs - they are waaaay easier to learn if you speak it daily with your partner. So yeah, having a Japanese wife helped me a lot. Actually in my school a good percentage of people who passed JLPT N2 level test were dating Japanese.
@@DiscoveringRuralJapan haha that absolutely makes sense! Not only do you get the Japanese girlfriend experience and everything that comes with it but you also get to practice and learn the language easier. I guess it would be much more difficult for foreign couples then, since they can't find a new japanese partner anymore lol
With such a cost of the house, also spend almost a third of the amount on repairs? And there are no supermarkets nearby?
Yeah, we decided against it
@@DiscoveringRuralJapan Yes, perhaps the area of the house is not small, but for such money, it seems, you can find a better option
That's a good deal and damn that bird took a big one
This house has a very nice layout. And future options to grow dill of course))))
Promo*SM 🤪
I own 9 properties in saitama myself. It really depends on area. All mine are mainly on keihintohoku line which is a good line. I make videos just like this as well. I only do houses tho as I dont like strata fees.😅
Why do you own 9 properties? Do you rent them out?
Live in 1. Use one as a man cave and rent the rest out. Actually created a course recently.
I found it (my „watching“ channel, Vadim S). Will watch it properly later. It seems, at leats for me, buying to rent out is too much hassle for too little profit. I would rather buy a REIT on stock exchange. Thanks for sharing the info though!
It looks like Akiya. :(
I was amazed at how quiet and clean the city was even though it looked cheap, so amazingly quiet and clean... And then you get to the house I thought something happened to the volume on my phone it got so quiet.
The apartment volumes are not small, but somehow the second option is more interesting, probably. Please tell, which one did you choose?
Neither, we have found something better in Saitama. I will show it in a future video, after we move in.
@@DiscoveringRuralJapan Sincerely thank you for your answer. I will be looking forward to the new video.
"I feel like I'm in silent hill." 😆
if i live in Japan and money is not an issue, i would buy first 5 units (1:49) at the front and combine them into one large unit with a 1 car garage on either side (im talking about the 1st location)
Chiba is supposed to be good to retire at.
Yeah but also expensive
Overall Not bad !! for the price
Yeah, it is possible to save a lot if you look hard.
How's the overall experience living there ?@@DiscoveringRuralJapan
A bit tight but I love it. Want more space though. Hopefully we will move to our new home this month.
Cool !! Would like to see it !@@DiscoveringRuralJapan
Thanks for your videos
Thank you for watching ! 😃
I found a few houses that only need a bit if renovation but good to go. But so many cannot be rebuilt like man, what about a fire or earthquake?
Yeah, many need time and money investments.
A fresh coat of paint and new floorng and new kitchen appliances woul make this a nice cozy home. I kije this in because it in a quite are were a person can wander outside and not be around many people. with the amout of space this offers it allows a family to grow . If you could buy the land next door that would be nice. This is the best kitchen dining livin area I have seen in any the home so far. Doing the basics to make the home fresh and liveable for now one can save up and do upgrades over time instead of going into debt up front.
I think so too but it goes a bit over budget if I add renovation costs.
Грязновато …
$500 sounds great until you realize it comes with a free obake.
The secon oupgrades plus the outside area is far nicer.would be a easy one to move into and then slowlt do n with a dresh coat of paint The lay out of the first one is far more livable being the wayy it is laifd out.The first one is way to much work for what you wil get outas far as resale value.
Yeah that’s a problem with the cannot he rebuilt houses you taking a risk because if an earthquake happens and it’s screwed, can’t do nothing
Saitama is cheap but there’s nothing there lmao
Lol weed is illegal of course you won’t grow that
