I dont know Why But I really adore Traditional Japanese Home, I love the elevation and It seems clean..and IT is so Open and With Gardens That are PERFECTION..it Just Seems so Peaceful for me..✨
I totally agree! Japanese homes are very open. In this way, it's quite modern. In the summer, the breeze flows through traditional houses and they are quite comfortable even without air conditioning.
I hope you can one day. This house, in particular the second floor veranda, is so wonderful in the summer. So quiet, cool, and with an amazing view of the city and bay.....
@@shdfjgcdrhv 700 yen for adults, 1000 yen if you want to enter the exhibition hall, and 1200 yen if you want to do the garden too. Minors pay half the admission rate of adults. I definitely recommend the house and garden set.
Definitely. I think the gardeners and carpenters are just exceptional. The houses require a lot of upkeep, but they are very pleasant especially in the summer.
Such an amazing Japanese house. I loved the wide verandah walkways and the spacious corridors and rooms. So practical and well arranged. Just a different way of living. I can just imagine children running around in all that outside space and the gardens and unusual plants are exquisite. The narration was informative and suitable and I thought the accompanying piano was charming.
Thank you so much. So glad you enjoyed it and your feedback is really helpful, thanks. I think the children must have loved running through the verandas and gardens. Must have been nice, although it's great that anyone can go visit it now. More house videos are on the way. 😊
Lovely tour in a beautiful place! I loved your soft voice. It made this aesthetic experience very relaxing. Congratulations and please make more of these!
Hello from Japan 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵 As a Japanese, I think "Mohri family" is closer to the Japanese meaning than "Mouri clan of feudal lords". (Incidentally, in modern Japanese, this clan is usually written or pronounced "Mouri" or "Mōri. If it is written as "Mohri" as in this video, most Japanese would probably feel that it is written or pronounced about 800 or 1000 years ago). The building called Mansion in the video is the Japanese version of a country house, which would be a chateau in French, a castle or house in English, a schloss in German, or a villa in Italian. So, if I were to try to convey the Japanese atmosphere, I think the title "the old country house built in the Taisho era by the Mouri clan, feudal lords" would sound more natural. The Mouri clan was one of the most powerful feudal lords in Japan, and before the Edo period, they were the Gotairou (meaning "council of five great clans representing the feudal lords"). They owned enough territory to support more than 1.12 million people, and even after the warring period was ended by the Edo shogunate and the unification of the country was completed, they always possessed vast territory and power to support one million people. This clan laid the foundation of Yamaguchi Prefecture, which even today is said to be "equivalent to the economic power of Croatia with only one Yamaguchi Prefecture." It is only natural that it is built with as much prestige as the residences of feudal lords such as the Tokugawa clan, Matsudaira clan, Shimazu clan, Hosokawa clan, Maeda clan, Uesugi clan, Date clan, and other higher-ranking clans. In addition, the imperial family and aristocrats were considered to be of even higher status than these feudal lords.
Thanks for your comment. Writing is very difficult isn't it? As a half Japanese American who was raised in the States, I struggle whether to write from a more Japanese perspective or not. Where I am from an old house like this would be referred to as an old mansion. or estate. Given that the majority of the people who view my channel are not Japanese, I thought it best to go with something that would sound natural to a native English speaker, but thank you so much for your comment and for the extra information. =)
このビデオとこのチャンネルをほんとにありがとうございます！小さなリクエストがあります、ときどきは日本で言葉を書くできますかください。たくさんの言葉ない。。。多分四つや五つ言葉は。チャンネルのviewersは漢字とひらがなは好きですと思います。私が本当に好きですよ！ Thanks for this beautiful video!!!
That sounds so nice. Your house would be the talk of the town and with the climate there I imagine the house would last a long time. Thank you so much for watching.
Hello! Sure, they ask you to take them off before, and there's a shoebox available at the entrance so we dont need to carry them around. 😊 Definitely a must see. Thank you for your question.
I can understand feeling confused about the empty rooms. In a large house, most of the furniture would have been stored in either closets or a Kura (a storehouse). The door panels are removable to make large rooms for entertaining, weddings and or funerals. As for furniture, it is a bit tricky as tatami can be easily damaged, and most Japanese furniture tends to be light and small. But they would mostly be stored in closets or in a storehouse or Kura in a much larger house like this. Thank you for such a great question. 😊
Hi. I believe it is a type of cypress called Ibuki in Japanese. From what I can tell gardeners trim the trees with shears by hand on super tall ladders to produce these beautiful shapes. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
That would be lovely. I checked the site and there isn't a map or anything there. There might have been on the brochure but I no longer have it. Sorry. There are about 20 tatami rooms there each about 10tatami mats in width. If you finish it, it would be amazing. Thank you for your comment and question.
I loved it, it must be such an incredible peace and energy to live in a house like this. Could you explain to me why there are so many empty rooms? Sorry if I'm being rude or disrespectful, it's not my intention, I just got curious, Is it a tradition?
Hi! In the case of this house, Many of the items are being housed and displayed in the museum where filming is not allowed or I think the family has taken them to their current place. Also, I think Japanese houses in general tend not to have so much furniture. and everything is put away. The rooms are designed to be transformable. The walls moved, and rooms joined to make large spaces for lifes events or gatherings. I also think tatami can't take the weight of very heavy things. You would need something to protect the tatami from Piano legs and sewing machine feet for example. Nice question. Thank you.
This one, but there are others on the channel which are less grand. (and truth be told, I prefer). However, the good thing is this house is open to the public all year with an amazing garden and lovely musuem for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for you comment and for watching.
I think it completely slipped my mind but I can see that. All I could think was they didn't want people to go in there. I can see your point, though. Thank you for watching. 😊

I need some Japanese traditional or morden habitat.what's the cost
I feel you. I went to Japan, mostly to visit Zen temples, with their beautiful gardens, and the architecture. I know exactly what you mean.
I would love to live in a Japanese Traditional Houses.. It felt so peaceful, away from the city buildings.
I hope you can one day. This house, in particular the second floor veranda, is so wonderful in the summer. So quiet, cool, and with an amazing view of the city and bay.....
@@thisoldjapanesehouse How much does it cost

You can tell just how amazing and efficient old Japanese architecture and building is, these houses last so long and generally hold up very well.
Definitely. I think the gardeners and carpenters are just exceptional. The houses require a lot of upkeep, but they are very pleasant especially in the summer.
It's my first experiencing Japanese Culture. What a delight. Thank you so much for your effort. Much love from Pakistan 🇵🇰💕
Thank you so much for watching and for your wonderful comment. It is my pleasure. So glad you enjoyed the video. 🤗💕
Breath taking scenery and the landscape is close to perfection... Thanks for sharing that superb video!
Glad you enjoyed it. The house is a stunner for sure. Please stay tuned for more.
The wisdom of simplicity. The luxury of efficiency.
Made of wood, paper and dirt without nails. A truly environmentally friendly way to build.
You're absolutely correct !
It’s gorgeous. I love the beautiful and personal narration. This video is underrated.
Thank you so much. Im glad you enjoyed it.
Old Japanese houses are so beautiful!!
Couldnt agree more. So beautiul, and comfortable.
Love Taisho/meiji houses.

Thank you for introducing us to what a noble estate would be like. The grounds and courtyard gardens are interesting and informative.
So glad you enjoyed it. The larger inner courtyard garden is so lovely. Thank you for watching.
House with greenaries look most beautiful and gorgeous 🏡❤❤❤
It's so true. This garden in this house is truly a work of art. Beautiful 🤩.
Simply beautiful
So happy that you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
The japanese really know what they are doing with the courtyard gardens. Absolutely love those
Yes, couldn’t agree more. They can be such a wonderful way to enjoy the outside while staying inside. So lovely.
The narrator is perfect. So soothing
A nice relaxing visit to an old house. That's the feeling Im after. Happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Lovely tour in a beautiful place! I loved your soft voice. It made this aesthetic experience very relaxing. Congratulations and please make more of these!

If I could become a (wealthy) architect, I would design a house like this, would be perfect for the beautiful and sunny Arizona days
That sounds so nice. Your house would be the talk of the town and with the climate there I imagine the house would last a long time. Thank you so much for watching.
This is the true peace🥰🛐
It is so beautiful. I can only imagine how wonderful it must have been as a family home.
Wonderful visuals and commentary.
Thank you so much! My pleasure. Thanks for your time and comment. =)
A once beautiful home destroyed, this made me cry
Lol. The garden that is open to the public is actually only half of the original. The other half has become a country club.
The Japanese try to create paradise on earth…and they do a good job of it.
Agreed. It is a truly lovely place.
It would have been wonderful if you had done a few close-ups of the decorative details on the sliding doors.
Yeah, definitely a missed opportunity. I took a few pictures but I shouldve taken some more shots of the detail. Thanks for watching.
I'm gonna buy this
😊Sounds good. Please let me visit from time to time. Have sweets, will travel. . 🍡
ちなみに周南市毛利町に「モウリマンション」という集合住宅があります。
I have a question , did you keep your shoes on while walking on the tatami or did they tell you to take them off?
Hello! Sure, they ask you to take them off before, and there's a shoebox available at the entrance so we dont need to carry them around. 😊 Definitely a must see. Thank you for your question.

It’s confusing as a westerner to see all the rooms empty. How did they modify them for use and where was any furniture stored?

Definitely. Having to pay for all the help and the taxes would be extremely restrictive for me. But I am glad to visit. 😊
That's a lot of land
The gardeners are always quietly shuffling about. I can't imagine how many you'd need. Thanks for watching.
Hi
Good Morning!
So everything is beautiful all around, but, this barbed wire at the beginning of the video is terrible🤦🏻♀️

I wonder if they sometimes gather for parties? who knows?
Politicians Home?
