    Wow! This house has a lot of potential. I have seen many people buying houses in Japan, but this is the best one.

    Beautiful spacious house, with good layout & views out of most sides of the house! The tatami rooms on the main floor, with the painted sliding doors look fabulous! Some parts of Yamanashi Prefecture are within a (relatively) short train ride into Northwestern Tokyo.

    This is lovely and won't need tons of work. Maybe just some insulation in the floors. If there's an access under the floors from outside, you don't even need to tear them up to insulate, just do it a little at a time, taping it all into place as you go.

    Gonna be living the dream of a home in Japan through you. So far I like what I see. The house has good bones. I'd love doing it up; and expect you'll be having fun doing just that. Really looking forward to your renovation adventures. Love your surprise in the dining area.
    You scored with the traditional style doors etc.. downstairs. Wee bit envious.
    Waiting with baited breath for your next video.
    Congratulations on your home. Love from Australia.

    Cool stuff, we are renovating an Akiya in yamaguchi. We had the option to get rid of the stuff ourselves and reduced the house by 1M yen.

      Thank you for the comment! Nice to hear from people in the seminar situation. We actually suggested the same but the seller (the daughter of the previous owner) wasn’t opened for the idea of us cleaning the house ourselves. Good luck with your renovations!

      @@cocolenchoraw It’s definitely more cost saving to do it yourself for sure! In the end it all worked out for us though. It would’ve taken us months to clean the whole house but instead we were able to jump right in to the renovation.

      Most houses in this area can be had for around 10 million yen. We got lucky and paid less than that though! Thanks for the comment:)

    Do these types of houses have a name ? Or is this just an ordinary house in japan ?

    • @gcasajapan
      @gcasajapan  2 роки тому +1

      It’s just a traditional Japanese house. Usually the older ones (like over 50 year old) they call it “古民家(Kominka”) house in Japanese.
