1M. Nice 👍
Of course men have to go deep with boring stats. She is obviously the personality
$390,000.What's 1M ?
@bonnieplattner3094
Do you mean lack of personality?
Been watching you guys since 2011 when I was 18. I'm 31 now. Y'all look the same as you did! Where did you find the fountain of youth or elixir of immortality? Share!
I don't know how I got here, but I found this house tour! Thank you for an introduction to a Japanese home. As for the cicadas, I grew up in Texas, so I'm super used to them but that is really *really* loud! 😅 How exciting to have such a great home - congratulations!!!
They have great insulation on those windows
Hey I’m in Texas now! And I’ve lived in Japan so everytime I hear them here it take me back there.. 🥹 But yeah the loudness is a huge difference 🪲🪲🪲
Do they hibernate in the colder months? I know I can google this, but first-hand experience is best 😊
yea, they actually stop making noise early in the fall.
me too haha
I have no idea who you two are...I just happened to see this video as a recommendation. And I thought..."Hey...I like them!" And I subscribed! :)
yay! -e
me too!
Me too
Same!
Me as well ❤
I can't believe what you paid. That seems so reasonable compared to other vids I've seen about Japanese real estate.
I love your tardis house! It looks so small from the outside angle, but inside there's such clever ways of maximising space.
I hope you'll have many happy times in your home
@@anthonydelrey1699 are you really comparing Las Vegas with Tokyo? Tokyo has a population of 40 mil people, Las Vegas is like 3 mil people, that's less than 10% of Tokyo. You should compare with the prices in NYC. You can offer whatever you want, let's see what you get for 215,000 in Tokyo hahaha.
How the hell did they find this space for that price in TOKYO??
This is nothing (In terms of what you could really get in Japan).
I mean, if you're willing to live in a city that's an hour away from Tokyo by train, you can find really nice houses that are up to 1300sq ft for about 150k USD (with all the stores you need in a walking distance). The house in this video still has a "Tokyo price" to it. Same is with apartments, you can find apartments slightly outside of Tokyo for like 400USD a month, or if you buy it you could buy one for 60k (+renovate it) or so.
Not to mention that Japan has some of the most generous home loan rates you can find - less than 1% annually in a lot of cases.
Summary: Japan has some of the most generous housing markets you can find if you're willing to live outside of Tokyo - in some cases you could also get a free house or get money to move in (tho a contract has to be signed that you won't leave) if you don't mind living in a small town in the countryside.
Are you citizens of Japan? Or anyone can buy property?
Australian homes in Sydney or on the Coast line with water views are more than double than these prices. How expensive is Food?
Thank you for show your beautiful house , I love Japan and wish to moved there someday , when my husband retire , we been to japan two time and love the people ,the country , tradition and culture . Congratulations on your new house👍
I've been watching you guys since you first moved out there. Awesome to see you guys thriving!
I'm glad this video is finding you success, Kyde and Eric. I've been watching on and off since 2014, you're one of the real OGs
“Aw, you fucked up 🤗” video was liked immediately 😂
I absolutely love the way y’all took us through room by room, step by step. I get so confused and just want to know more when home owners are wondering around! I appreciate the explanation of trash rules, that also tickles my brain
Beautiful home& thank you for sharing 🙏 😊
Why do you say your first sentence? I'm not sure what you're referring to?
@@Joyce-j2k its a quote from the video 💕
@user-xj4jl7sn3l yeah I didn't get that either. 😮
@@Joyce-j2k, a quote from the video.
When you were in England you were fascinated at semi detached houses. Yours looks like one of those sawn in half.😀👍
I’m from Tachikawa! I lived there for 22 years. So fascinating to accidentally come across your channel. Bring back many many memories😊
What a lovely home, that balcony and those trees 🥰 so happy for you both. Enjoy!
Congratulations - that deck area is fantastic - it really allows you to have a 'garden escape' without having much maintenance to do - excellent find!
Very happy for you guys! Thanks for sharing! Lots of health And love!
Congratulation and showing your house.
I like it inside and out. Inside is koozie, easy to clean. Outside looks so close to nature, los of trees. I like it. Continue to enjoy living there!
I'm so happy for you guys :) You clearly are absolutely loving your new home. May you love it long time!
Thanks Dan!
I'm obviously way behind on watching your videos :) when I looked at where Tachikawa is on a map I saw that I'd been out there once to visit Showa Park. Since I'm so far behind, you might have already mentioned it and/or covered it. I hope you get a chance to enjoy it from time to time. I liked my visit there.
Okay your house is freaking awesome. I've been curious about the layout since you announced you bought it, and it's a lot more open and spacious than I thought it was gonna be. I love that it's brand new and they were able to modify it to accommodate Eric. Love what you've done with it! I really dig the view of the natures you've got out of the kitchen and Eric's office. I really want to help you guys decorate - not that you need it, but I used to be certified in interior decoration and the walls in there are just screaming for a little color (just as an accent, nothing massive). Love the t-shirt wall and the little dark corner of the kitchen, the whole place just looks great. Thanks so much for the tour and congratulations again on scoring such a great house! Really happy for you both!
HAha, yea, some of the walls will get more stuff but that's low priority for is right now. Still getting things settled in a practical manner. -E
OMG, it is SO perfect for you guys, all the congratulations, what a journey, you guys look so brilliant I am so happy things have worked out so awesome for you!!!!! 😍🎉
I know how it feels like to own something that is a big investment and can call your own. Very lovely house hope you guys make the happiest memories. 🏰🥰
Been with you guys since damn near the beginning and I'm so happy for you two!
Thanks so much guys! You are such a fun couple. Very cool house. I’ve been to Japan three times and love it every time. One of my sons taught English school in Himeji with his girlfriend(now wife) so we brought his twin and girlfriend (now wife) to visit for Golden week plus an extra 10 days. Thank you for the tour.❤️
I really like it! It’s a great house! And so roomy and so much storage for a Japanese home 👍
I love your video! I love your personalities! You guys are great. Thank you for showing us your home in Japan! It is very beautiful!
You guys are living the dream! Congratulations!
Also, after all of that rural historical houses in Japan - having exactly new modern house in good location is the wisest decision
beautiful home. Adorable couple
Looks like a great deal, price and all. It wouldn't be possible in NY. Kyde, you look absolutely wonderful in that dress! 😍
Congratulations! I love the outdoor space. The house looks great, so happy for you guys!
Wow. Your house is amazing. I've been to many homes in Japan and yours is very well laid out and spacious, also having a deck and trees in Tokyo, that's awesome.
Congratulations on your new home! It’s beautiful. May you have many good times in your home.
I've been sorta researching Japan because I plan to take a trip soon and it's just an overall fascinating place, so your video came up on my recommended and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it beginning to end! this was awesome and so in-depth. Love you guy's chemistry and can't wait to watch more from you!
glad you found us! good luck on your trip, Japan is an awesome place to visit. -e
Congrats on the new place! It looks super cute and comfy. Hearing the semi (cicadas) seems normal to me as we have them here in FL, but they do get heckn' loud! Can wait to see what fun things you start putting up later on!
Do you have them every year in Florida? -E
@@kydeanderic yes we do, they're louder the in the more wooded areas.
Congrats you guys, thanks for the tour! That backyard view is amazing!
I can't help feeling that when you eventually sell that place (assuming you ever do), potential buyers will probably ask "why is everything so high?"
Haha, I wanted the mirror higher but the construction dudes were like "if it's higher Japanese people can't use it"
Lol yeah, never thought about this, but it could be a good selling point for foreigners
Another interesting thing is people don’t renovate house in Japan. Houses in Japan don’t count as assets. People usually rebuild the entire house
Value doesn’t grow there
😂😂😂😂😂
@@Grahamfambam That’s interesting. Thank you.
Oh my....the bathroom HAS BATHTUB!! And VERY SMART, to separate bathroom and toilet. The woods is indeed unbeatable. There must be fresh becuse full of fresh Oxygen. I envy you
It's normal to separate toilet and bathroom in other countries ... not Usa
Eric has such an awesome personality. Very likeable couple for sure. Interesting content👍🇨🇦
you all are so likeable, :) come visit me any time.
Congratulations, what you’ve achieved is no small feat!
One item though: I lived in Japan for 10 years, not near any other foreigners, and I’d like to share with you that your Japanese neighbors are really hoping you will sweep up all those dead leaves in your drive and entryway 😂
Best of luck in your new home!
🤣🤣 so true
I think that is the hope of all neighbors in most parts of the world. They all hope that the dead leaves get picked up.
@@greensky01 In the better parts of California, we now view dead leaves as mulch & it's fine for us to LEAF them alone. Or maybe they are too scared of me to say anything. :)
@@tomsinsky5548 that is my excuse on my property. I LEAF them alone because I love the environment and wild nature and want to let it reclaim it's space in the fall and winter LOL
@@tomsinsky5548 I agree but you don't put mulch on concrete.
We have been watching since Eric had hair. Congrats on the house! This is your breakthru algorithm video. Wishing you both all the success as it is well deserved for the many many years of quality content and entertainment you have given us.
beautiful house guys!! Congrats and enjoy!!
The house looks cozy.and one thing i find interesting about the house tour is the way garbage is sorted into categories like burnable,bottles,paper etc..i too am a bit like that
Congratulations what an awesome home, it’s so big in Tokyo scale!
Well done guys. Very informative. It's a well thought out house, and Tachikawa is a good place to live. We used to live near Asagaya, and those stations along the west side of the Chuo line are all pleasant areas. From Tachikawa you've also got easy access to the lovely Okutama area. Great choice, and hope you really enjoy your time there
I have just found your video by chance, I am from Tachikawa! now living in Melbourne, down under. Big Congrats on your new house!! Tachikawa is not like Shinjuku or Shibuya, but for sure it a very convenient place to live. I hope you enjoy living in my hometown :)
NEW PEOPLE WATCH THEIR "OLD" STUFF!
It's a blast =)
We have cicadas in Nebraska, you get use to them where you don't even notice them. However there is a solitary ground wasp that hunts cicadas which made there way here within the last several years. That has made a impact.
Stumbled upon your channel and you two are both so pleasant and witty, subscribe right away 😊
I love the way you block the neighbours' window, not their breeze. Salute.
Beautiful home, guys!! Congratulations~
Thanks Norm! -E
Congratulations on purchasing your new home! 🏡 Purchasing a house is always a huge accomplishment( if home ownership is your goal). It can be an expensive , emotional, exiting , and stressful process most of the time in our home countries. I can't imagine trying no navigate that process as an expat.
In most Australian homes, especially older ones, the toilet has its own room sometimes with a small washbasin to wash your hands.Very logical and clean.
sounds like Australia is a civilized place!
✌
Congrats! So happy for you guys!
I am so damn happy for you guys. Like I was smiling during the video. The curiosity and the happy vibes you guys brought in this videos. Shows how content you guys are :)
They are not only a couple but they are friends. Wonderful.
I just found your channel. Can you tell all of your new subscribers why you are living in Japan. Thanks good video.
Congratulation on the new house! This is no small adventure for Japan. I lived (stationed) in Tachikawa between 1964 and 1966 then moved to Matsumoto until 1974 and married a Japanese girl. We also bought a house on the side of the mountains. I totally feel your delight and excitement. Then because of the fuel shortage (rationing) we were forced to return to the US. We sold the house after 5 years and made a nice profit. My first wife died and I remarried another Japanese girl. We are back in Tachikawa for the first time in 48 years. Tachikawa use to be a dump with the military base but after the base closure in 1977, Tachikawa rebuilt into a modern first class city. Good luck on your new adventure and maybe I’ll see you on the streets as I’ll be around town until November.
Bill and Akemi
Oh nice, quite a ride you have had. I have heard Tachikawa used to be a rough part of town, glad it's nicer now! If you see us say hi! -E
Thank you for your service and your story! ❤
Los Angeles rules on trash: Just throw it in the street and let someone else deal with it…..or not. We could use Japanese regulations and sensibilities on waste.
Hope you are okay from the Earthquake last night. My son is currently in Tokyo for work and sent me the notice when it came in.
We are fine, just a bit of a shake here nothing serious for us.
First visit to the channel, very entertaining. Thanks.
Coming back after your hot take video to leave a congratulatory comment to edge out the haters 😂🤣 Congratulations!!
I now want a Japanese house. It all just makes sense! The separate bathroom - I love it. The electronic toilet is genius! And I've always been amazed by Asian showers because you can seemingly get the whole room wet, floor and everything, and apparently it doesn't mold or rot through the structure. Also, what kind of animal or whatever is Golden Balls??
He's a tanuki! -e
It's a beautiful house! I'm so happy for you!
Just found you guys.. I haven't watched it all yet but very very interesting so far I hope you're doing well and I'll look forward to seeing what else I can catch up with!😊
He's wearing REDFANG and Dinosaur Jr shirts, that's amazing. I love this video. I love your house. I have no idea who you people are but I'm really happy for you.
You two are adorable and I love your house.
Hello from an Australian in Japan💜
Love your house、great that you have a deck too‼️
I lived in Japan for two years, from 2003-2005. It was fun to see what has changed, and what has stayed the same.
Same:
• Cicedas (or semis in Japanese)... omg, the cicedas!! No, really, omg!!! (This video doesn't do any justice for how loud they truly are, especially during their "boom" year. It's insane!)
• trash disposal/recycling process (I absolutely love how diligent the Japanese are about it.)
• the genkan - the area just inside the door to remove and set your shoes
• the narrow steps going up/downstairs
• the bathroom layout
• the tiny bathtub
• the fact there's usually only one toilet in the entire house
• the on-demand water-heating system at your sink and shower (tankless, very efficient)
• the AC units in select rooms (you didn't mention anything about heating the place, but I had two kerosene heaters that I would move from room to room where I needed them. The rest of the house was always very cold in winter.)
• the size of the washing machine (I truly loathed the washing machine because it didn't effectively wash the clothes. It just "swished" things around for only a few minutes before completing the cycle, rinsing, and switching off. I always had to handwash my intimates, workout clothes, and anything I actually sweat in to make sure they were clean. It was incredibly frustrating. Also, there was no option for hot water, so everything was washed in cold.)
• no room for large, bulky furniture
• the closets with no drawers or hanging rods (they were often just lined with deep shelves to fold and set your clothes - designed, really, for storing kimonos/yukatas)
• the parking spot for a single car (there is typically only space for one car, and there is no street parking, so a bigger family is very constrained to using either the public transportation system, a bike, or a moped.)
Different:
• Are your outter walls insulated? (They look insulated, and the fact you can shut out the noise from the cicedas suggests those walls are insulated. Back in the day, the Japanese did not insulate their houses because the condensation from the humidity caused mold issues.)
• no built-in tatami mats?
• you had a dishwasher??!
• convection oven appliance rather than a traditional oven
• the new toilet where you can wash your hands above the tank and later reuse the water to flush
• the folding/accordion closet doors rather than sliding closet doors (so smooth, too!)
• layered lighting!!
• a second door lock near the bottom of the door?
Thoughts: my favorite purchases were my solid granite yukimi lantern, ceramic tea set, and some art work. And the best thing of all was getting to experience their amazing culture, food, art, and scenery. I love the Japanese people! ❤
Congratulations! Really nice house.
My dog had some strong opinions about the single cicada noise at 17 minutes.
lol
I just love your new house! Congratulations ! I really liked the pull out shelf in the kitchen for the small appliances.
What is your field of work ??? Why Tokyo ???
Do you have a car ?
Congratulations on your new house! Eric looks most happy about the high kitchen countertops and that he doesn’t bash his head on the stairs in the toilet! Love the bathroom! Modular bathrooms are one of Japan’s greatest inventions (along with washlets)! Haven’t seen those taps before with the push button but definitely want them when we get a house in Japan! Thank you so much for sharing your home and the buying process of your house! Where to put the bikes is the million Yen question! 😻
@jernejj5 Hokkaido house. it's recommended for you, Son. Housing in Tokyo and northern Japan is different.
Dang, yall are getting close to a million views! I hope it gets there! 💜🦝
Wooooow
I love your T-Shirt wall. So cool. Great idea! 👕 ❤
I'm shocked at how huge...how much space you have now, compared to your previous apartments. I'm really happy for you. I would still Iove to see you both cooking. Perhaps a big reveal on your pIum wine. :D
@𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧𝗦𝗔𝗣𝗣 (+𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟬𝟳𝟮𝟵𝟴𝟬𝟮𝟮 ) DefiniteIy! Some time soon! :D
That was spam we didn't post, please do NOT contact that user. -E
@@kydeanderic Thanks for reaching out. It did seem unlike you both. :D I was questioning it too.
I'm impressed that the house is so inexpensive, compared to our Canadian major cities. The forest right there is a huge plus too! Great tour and thanks for taking us on a tour! 🥰🇨🇦
The quality is different
The house will not go up in value, it will devalue as time goes on but fantastic green space and privacy....not seeing wires /poles outside your windows is invaluable
why is that? is it only a lease? @@pomme800
@@jenniferlamberti6611 Canadian homes, especially modern mcmansions are horrific quality.
Sme. I'm in Australia and it's far more expensive here for something similar.
Wow, what a beautiful place! I love the backside with all the trees and greenery. So nice! 😍
If it was my place I'd use the spare living room space for a dining table, but of course that's up to you guys. On one hand the windows are great for natural lighting etc. but on the other hand because of the huge windows you can't place any big things or storage in there 🤔
You have a beautiful house. You should be very proud of yourselves. ❤
I live in Kansas so loud secada season is a thing. I kind of like it 😂
I have been watching you guys since right after you moved to Japan. I'm so happy for you that you were able to purchase a home! It looks wonderful and perfect for your needs. Congrats!!
Thanks for sharing your home in Tokyo. There are some interesting things to learn living in Japan.
Congratulations on the house!
Just FYI, the underfloor storage is called 床下収納. You can buy them separately from Yodobashi or from building companies like Lixil. There are even sliding versions so you can push it aside to check the foundation/flooring when needed.
Happy for you settling in Tokyo 😁 I didn’t have impression that you are going to stay in Japan forever
Hello from Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦. I found this video fascinating! Thanks for posting it.
I love all the different rules and customs you showed us . I’m Danish so some of the recycle rules are pretty much like ours. This tour was so much fun and interesting.
The Japanese are so efficient at using space. I have a 105 m2 duplex here in Switzerland, and it seems way smaller than your house. Most of my space "just exists" without a purpose 😅
Such a cute house, and that you even have an outdoor patio in Tokyo, is amazing!❤ Do you need an insect net if you sit outside? If so, maybe like the Florida type could work. It's like a framework thingy with insect net.
I was thinking, in the bedroom, one would think that the closet doors could've been half the size horizontally, that way a dresser could be placed in front of it for extra storage.
If moving to Japan, one has to get rid of alot of "stuff", so I guess it's fine, storage like, for what? ... 😂❤🏡
came back to watch this again about a year later. good video
I really like you two. Cool artsy vibes
Congrats - it’s a great place 😊
Storage spaces like that is where I store my holiday decor.
Love you both!!! I am so happy for you guys!
Hi. Congratulation with your new home . it looks nice, and if you are in for it some art or picture will make it nice. I hope you will think about the trouble you might have with the high humidity you have on the loft, and when you dry clothes, it will be so important to get the humidity out. I been living in Asia for years, and i see all the places that get fungus in their homes, and get health problems. So many people struggle with health problem because of humidity. i think you will have a great home there, and i hope you take this as a advice, and not a person that just comes to make a bad attitude. Wish you all the best. Best wishes from Jan in Norway
If you ever see this...the stained tupperware can be cleaned by using dawn and warm water and a papertowel swirled inside. The fridge door should be able to switch sides it opens from. Hope that helps. Great vid.
Remove swinging doors, replace with a glider door removing knobs from closets that may interfere with glide.
What a lovely house and very interesting to see how houses are laid out in different countries.
When we visited Japan we loved it. We were so happy with the home we stayed in. Your home is so nice, you have been so thoughtful with the space.
Congrats to the both of you! I still remember when you both got residency! How much things have changed since your first move to Japan!!!
Yea, at the least the size of the place is bigger than older places haha - E
Wow! This whole channel is great! There are so many videos about Japan!
Aww, you guys look so happy ❤ Congratulations on your new home ❤ wellll....on your 1 year old home 😉
Are those the same teeth lights Kyde picked up a few years ago from the street or something, awesome find lmao
yep!
It's so pretty! It makes me happy that Eric has enough space now. I know he jokes about it, but it has to be a pain. And not good for his neck/posture.
Also, is it weird to be in love with a toilet? Are these fancy ones the standard in most homes? I can't imagine having one! If I had the money, it's one of the few "luxury" items I would want in a home. I love how Japanese bathrooms are set up with the toilet/bathing area separate. It was odd to me at first. But I think I could get used to it. They make the American style look like we're a bunch of savages.
I've been watching your channel for years. I'm so happy for you both!
In newer houses this is a pretty normal toilet. They get a lot more fancy, in fact hahahaha.
It's not a loft... it's a finished attic with a window. You can install an air circulator from the roof into the ceiling. This will keep the room from creating still air.
Eric is so awesome chilled out and positive
congrats ! your house is magnificent...
i rode Nambu Line to Tachikawa, from my apato in Kawasaki in 2017 when i got my scholarship in Takushoku Daigaku.
