More than money, you have to enjoy the priceless good people around you. You can't take money with you, but you can leave everlasting love with good relationships. It's important to treasure the people (especially the ones who are/were good to you) and the moments and memories.
To Shu. I have friends who own cottages in Canada and love them. But they are spending hours in traffic in summer going up on Friday and coming back on Sunday. Then they rarely, if ever go in winter. Upkeep, insurance etc makes them a pain to keep. Another friend rents 3 cottages a summer in different areas of the province. He goes with his family, spends a week enjoying different places, and goes home. Changes it up every year. No taxes, no upkeep, no stress.
I'm in Ontario and often wonder about your point as well. they end up gooing to the same place over and over again. Why not just rent at different places as you go? You forgot no insurance, no 2nd cable or internet, no hydro. Cheers from Richmond Hill
Thanks Shu, How can you buy a house in Japan and live there if you don't have residency or citizenship? Do most people buy a house for vacation or for rent only?
Nice place. Like the house. The price is steep. For a vacation home, I be looking for something cheaper. For my own use, for that price, I don't mind something further out.
Hi Shu, I’m curious. How did he find this property? On his own or through your team? And what are his plans for a long term visa if he’s planning to retire there in the future? Is he going to be looking into getting a Business Manager Visa? Thanks!
@@jeniferfrenchdravillas That's what it seems. They could have the tub refinished to white... or just leave it as is because they won't be there often. How much time can a person in their 40s take away from work in the USA? The business model in the USA seems to be if you can take two weeks away at one time and we can get by without you then do we really need you. (It's different of course with people who can work from home)
If I buy a house in Japan as I would like to with my wife, how would I live there 12 months a year when we retire at 65? Or would Japan kick us out? Cheers from Canada
@@Nature_with_Peter_Kane Japan doesn't have retirement visas. You couldn't get a visa to stay 12 months a year... unless you divorce and both remarry Japanese... Best you can do is two 90 day tourist visas.
Hehe... his 26 year old vacation home costs more than my actual home in Japan cost new. And my home is 130 square metres on 330 square metres of land. Land value, land value, land value.😅
I find every house through this channel seems to be very expensive when I've seen what others have paid. Is it location, because the difference is generally quite big.
@@357smooth because I live on the outskirts of a city that's not one of the biggies and my house isn't a few minute's walk from conveniences and a station that gets me into Tokyo quickly. If I lived where I rented in the city a plot of land the size I have would be about ¥70 million.
@@Brian-vs9sd His focus is around Tokyo, mostly Kanagawa. The houses are more expensive because land prices make up a lot of the price. The exact same house in an inconvenient location probably wouldn't even sell at 1/4 the price. The other UA-camr videos you watch are probably in these out of the way places. Shu would do well to explain the land cost per tsubo of the areas he's showing. Real estate agents know this or can look it up. (The one I teach made a map of land prices for me). That way viewers can watch and think... oh, the land is worth about ¥ ?? million yen so the house is seen to have ?? value. Teach viewers rather than just give listing prices and ask "would you pay this?"... How the heck should we know without ANY information on the land value. That's a dumb way to go about pushing homes.
I really liked the conversation on this one
Thank you!
Gorgeous home in a great location. Loved the interview as well. Thanks Shu!!
Love the Video Shu! Now its my time to move to Japan.. Im going to be going to Nagano
Thank you! Nagano is a good place ;)

I enjoyed the interview and the book recommendation, thanks!
Good to see a happy buyer!
Good for Japan also!

Very nice house and its sub 10 minutes away from the bullet train so they can go anywhere. Super convenient
Question: when Hubert said the distances, he is from major locations is he referencing by car or subway?
What is the reason the Seller sold the property? thank u.

ACCORDING TO GOOGLE For a Business Manager Visa, you must meet certain requirements, including a capital investment of 5 million yen.
I wonder how much rent this house would theoretically fetch. It looks goo to go
Holy he overpaid lol and he still need to renovate on top of 330K
I think he’s only redoing the bathroom, right? That’s not too bad
