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!
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.
A follow up after renovation would be great. Also, more real estate content from you would be appreciated, especially with emphasis on Japanese architecture.
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.
Yeah, I would love to see the after renovation edition for sure!!
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?
It looks like a very nice layout; the long garage looks better as storage space than a car park. Improving the lighting, refresh the bathrooms, add more closets. Of course insulation!
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!
I like the old vibe of the place and love the way the cupboards aren't made of MDF like you'd see in the UK
that garden seriously has huge potential.
perfect spot for weekend barbeques.
the only thing the house needs with the renovation is a full upstairs bathroom area.
lovely house nevertheless.
good luck to the owner and the project!
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
Looks like a really pretty house :) I bet it will look even better after renovation! I hope they keep some of the old furniture, it looks really nice.
@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
An amazing house!!! I would love to see the finished renovation.
Please show the final results, the costs, everything!!! Great video again, Paolo!
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.
A video of the house when it's renovated would be great see what they done.
6:55 start from there , the voice is around 6:58 , what voice is that? dayummm
That Seiko clock probably has more values than the house itself
Probably some of the booze too! 😅😅
It would be interesting if you can record the process of a typical renewing/ tear down of a house. Like do they redo the earthquake prevention systems and more
That house is nice and HUGE! Would be perfect for your family and office space combined!
160 sq meters of uninsulated freezing bubble era splendor. I felt a chill up my back as you entered the front door. Some of these houses are colder inside than outside. I could easily see myself dumping a ton of $ into that place but it has the potential of being a very nice place. 2 garages in tokyo is awesome
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.
Paolo: I would like to see a vid on how Japanese approach investing or finanical literacy in general. From various cohorts (GenZ, Millennials, GenX and Boomers.) Do they invest in the Nikkei (stock market), are they buy/hold or trading, do they own rental property, crypto, etc. Cheers.
we definitely wanna see more
Very interesting to see the style of house. Am surprised the garages don't have access from within the property with how efficient the Japanese are. Would be great to see an after tour once the renovation has been done 🤞🤞
Interesting! Would love to see more tours like this
Would be fab to see what it looks like after it has been fully renovated! Nice house!
Rivella is a drink from Switzerland. Normally Asian People have problems to drink it because it's made with lactic acid.
I am not too crazy about the neighborhood, but the house is fantastic with huge potential and yes please share with us the future renovation work.
Compared to many places I have lived in America, this place needs a small amount of TLC, but overall pretty good condition to move in. Of course you would want to have an inspection of the electrical and water prior. Great video sir, keep them coming.
That’s a really good price. In Prague where i’m from, a comparable house would cost easily twice that much, 3x if it was brand new. At the same time the average wage here is half of what people make in Japan
Show us the process of the renovation. It would be great to see. Stay safe.
The way this house could be easily 2 million in Canada
hah yah he garages themselves could probably go for $500k
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 ❤
OMG! My best friend lives somewhere in komae! Never got to visit him there. But I did meet him for lunch many times in Shinjuku. and there’s always next time.
I would love to build a sauna in the backyard
That's Hajime Isayama, the creator of Attack on Titan's house. Lol
If I had the money I would rent it on point. I like the substance. This house has really potential. I’m artist so I have so many ideas and the Gartenplastik is really smart constituted.
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?
Awesome video! Love the variety from the food show. Please show more different areas of Japan. You are such a great videographer and presenter.
I'd defrinitely do some renovations, but outside of that.. it looks like a decent home to live in. Definitely a dream home for me.
I'd love to see the house after renovations with cost breakdown and new valuation!
I am very interested to see how the renovation goes and since I'm planning a trip to Japan in the future, maybe I could stay there when it's converted to an Air B&B.
If I were to live there, I would absolutely keep the second garage as food storage space.
Maybe find a realtor and show properties and their prices in tokyo and Japan would find it interesting to see what a shibuja flat would look like and cost.
Love to have that, esp for storage and close to Tokyo, plus vintage
Can you please shoot a follow-up video when the renovation is complete?
More videos like this please… also, can you do an after renovation video of the property too, if that’s possible..thanks
it would be cool to see a "after renovation" vid if it works out like intended and it could be a neat promotion for the airbnb, i guess...
cool house, the only thing that would worry me a bit were the stairs and the high of the garage lol
This reminds me of where we lived out in the Inaka in Yamaguchi prefecture.
I think this house has potential. Would love to see it after the renovations are done.
Honestly, this place looks pretty big and in line with what I would expect to pay for something this size outside of Boston, maybe even cheaper. I always hear how expensive Tokyo housing is, so that caught me off guard. Maybe my dream of retiring in Japan can remain alive.
Those plastic toy figures in the cabinet in America were release4d in the early 80's and were branded Muscle Men.I had a full grocery bag of them at one point. I noticed some that looked to be Japan specvific and would sell really fast to US collectors if listed individually.
I´d love to see the result of the make over. This house has a lot of potential. The kitchen area needed to be renovated in a more modern style, the toilet area maybe widened if possible with the walls. Also you could add a desk area at the of the broken looking wardrobes in the first Tatami rooms. Lots of ideas...
Add in the construction too! I would very much like to see a house renovation and leads into peripheral areas to film!
I've always heard homes get torn down, which has always kind of baffled me. I can imagine the electric supply needing upgrades and wonder about insulation/mold, but I wouldn't have the slightest problem living there as is. It's close to the train station and very nice, aside from the stairs and that one room.
That house looks lovely
OMG! This house is gorgeous 😻 I would literally just refresh what's there and minimum upgrades needed like wallpaper, floors and hardware features.
Please, it would be fascinating to see the post renovation views! Please thank your friend for sharing this with us!
Crazy I just bought a house in Okinawa and trying to do the same. That house seems like it is in great shape. Mine the jungle was taking it back after 1 year of being empty.
would love to see you do tours of the houses on Cheap Houses Japan.
Would love to see more of these especially apartments and this house after renovations!
If what you said about land value is correct, and the house has no structual damage from moisture/rain then this is a absolute steal. I would probably remove most or all of the furniture, install AC everywhere, replace the electrics, install a new kitchen and refinish the worn surfaces. After that, move in and maintain as needed: Paint, gardening, etc.
Would like to see what the house turns into it. Maybe even do a whole series about houses in Tokyo/Japan.
Def wanna see the complete renovation journey!
Great value for 400k. Keep us posted!
I'd love to repurpose classic furniture for modern usages/style. Could you follow the updates on the houses for what they turn into?
Those garages at the end would be a dream, just wish the height would be taller to do some work on projects under cover too plus parking
We need a Paolo version of This Old House.
Very nice… would love to see the renovations or the finished result of the renovations. Whichever is possible
I’d love to see this house after the renovations! It’s a nice house!
Another awesome video ^^
I love this place! And the price is unreal. A house this size in a major city in the US (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles) would cost much, much more.
I remember the introduction of Kimono mum...and boom, some time later Paolo became a father. Now Paolo shows us a house. I ponder that Paolo is looking to buy a house :D
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.
Id love if they kept the fusion style. It has a warm feel to it. And has some beautiful areas.
If your friend agreed, I would love to see it when he finished renovating. Would be so interesting to see how it turns out.
Definitely need to see the finished home and how much that changes the price.
Please visit this house after its been renovated Paolo, It would be cool to see a before and after!!!
Paolo , that house is a total gut job. Sad to see the homes are in spitting distance from each other. But otherwise it has good bare bones to make it a Air BnB. Yes would like to see the after and what upgrades that have been done.
Please show us what it looks like after the renovation!!
Love this type of video!
I would definitely keep one or two of these traditional rooms, as well as this old atmosphere. I am interested in what may grows in this garden during spring 😮 but looking at your friend's website, I am not concerned about how he will renovate this house!
It is amazing that the building is "worthless" in Japan. In my opinion somebody can totally live in there
Thanks for sharing🙏
I remember when Tokyo real estate was so much more expensive than the U.S. I live in New Jersey, and it is more expensive now than Tokyo. How times have changed.
I’d love to see the house after the renovation!
I would love to see how the renovations turn out.
I enjoy videos that show how people live and the details of daily life. This was very interesting. Thank you.
it looks so comfy, i would totally live there , its also in tokyo too! imagine the convinience
Insane amounts of backyard, especially for tokyo
Some significant potential for renovations. The budget for knocking the old building down could be put to some sympathetic renovations. Just changing out the colour of the wood would go a long-way. Modernising the kitchen, toilets and flooring would make this place very desirable.
The house is so beautiful but yes definitely it needs restauration
This is similar to a house I rented. Mine was larger and had a second kitchen upstairs too.
I live near Oxford Uk where house the size and style (detached) would be found in outer areas of Oxford b around 1.5 million Sterling 285 million yen or 1.9 million US dollar. In central London triple this price.
With the intro songs, Im always waiting for that "Go go go go go Shanty it's your birthday!"
Be nice to see this house, after the renovations
The issue is that in japan, the secondary market is not well developed. In the two (not concurrent) places that I bought in Tokyo had houses on them. Both times, we had the previous owners tear down the houses and clear the land. You know but not a lot of people know that there is an earthquake about the pace of at least one a month. Now not all are disasters that make the international news, but seismic plat show that they occur often. We visited Japan for a month, in my Tokyo house (we keep the property) in Japan so we needn't need a hotel to stat in, we just go home. There are relatives living there while we living in the US.There are also limits of what can legally be built on the plot of land. There are several things that determine what can be built. Number one is kenpei ritsu (how much of the land can ne coved by the house and parking area and youseki rithsu that detrmines how much floor space you can have with all the floors combined. Next how large a shadow you place on the north side of your house casts on the neighboring properties. Both our properties have had streets on thew North side of our house, so the shadow is on the road. Also, popular at the time was nisetai jyutaku where two families live there. The second house, my Japanese wife and I bought and had built for us with the idea of having her parents live in the same house, with two separate doors. We also buitl a three story house, My in-laws lived on the first floor and we lived on the second and third floors.
Having bought and sold a house and property then bought the second house and property, but kept the last one. My wife is the eldest of four daughters and being the husband makes me the "chonan" of the family even though one of my bothers-in-law is bit older than me. We also make the house where a nother kitchen could easily be made on the thrid floor, in other words the utilities (water, gas) the electricity is already separated wutg a breaker bos on each floor. So that one of my sisters-in-law could live there.
There is a lot of reclaimed land in Japan, We did not buy on umitatechi and both places we took multiple core samples. Somehow, well searching records there was another house built and the builder had to make 5 supports way under the house to support a three story house. He showed it the original house floor that was still there. In fact our side has been removed but few of our neighbors' still have a wooden floor underneath their houses. It appears that the original house was torn down, but then they covered over with dirt and some of the house and tuned the land into sort of a farm. Then built it up further and built houses I.e they (who, I don't know) hid it. If you know, you cannot put wood either touching ground or underground it is a termite feeding ground and make the earth weak. But after the core samples were done, and we had the engineers remove the wood that was buried, the engineers had determined that there were no termite nests under gound. I would not remobed the house, I would tear it down and wpi;d go deep and rebuild the house. Or sell as is abd gave the next owner know they should get a core samples. I don't know much more about the house, but it could have hidden dangers and the bank woild also tell you, because the bank would want to know that a house won't collapse so they will investigate. You'be got to unserstand the history of the land and know that Edo castle used to be near the coast and sand was considered to be a good way to filil up the gound.
Investigate many structures collapsed during and after the bif Hanshin earthquake which hit Kobe. Sand had been used a lot and with shaking water incursion, the sand gets liquified. Then there was a documentary about Sendai and the tidal wave and how far inland it had occurred in the past and there was a warning that nothing should be built that point and ocean, which wasn't that far away at the time. The Kansai airport is buld on reclaimed land.
Nice house, price is not bad.. since most is wood its also easy to change.
The guy used to live there are certainly military enthusiast judging by the books in the book shelf
To be honest I'd leave it as is and just upgrade to modern appliances. Then add a little "Spice" to the current setup, like new doors, Lighting, plus add ambient dark lighting behind the wooden planks. Japan is known for cooking so add a fully modern kitchen with a Nordic themed setup. PLANTS needed Aswell.
yes pls a video on when its all done
I wanna see everything you mentioned! Even progression of renovation
Great potential this house! Please come back when it's renovated!!
They have underground parking. That is so cool.❤
