GLAD FOR YOU been in country for a month now still looking for houses… guess you can only get attention if there is a loan or your borke

would you be able to do an updated version of this video, if anything has changed since the noto earthquake on new years

the only problem with these homes is that they are on tiny lots with almost no space for gardening so you must buy food year round from the stores. are there any situations of homes on large pieces of property so you can do gardening and feed yourself and your family?

Do the Japanese have renovation TV shows like in U.S.? If they dont, maybe they should. It would get people excited about revovation and reclaiming antiques.

There is something very satisfying about making something beautiful again. About bringing the love and light back to a place...and only a human living in a home can do that.

How beautiful! 🏵🌤☀❤

Thanks for the honest tour. In reply to the 4.5 stars, it is most likely these reviews were generated by a bias party invested in the property. Same reason Yelp here in the U.S. is an unreliable source for honest reviews. You seen it first hand and can come away with a more accurate assessment of the property. In my opinion, it didn't look terrible, but needed some rehab.

This is so exciting! Glad to see you are moving forward despite the setbacks with the house in Noto. I hope your family is doing well.

very cool brother! I love your channel! Ive been talking to a lawyer who is helping my with finding my Akiya! I am very excited to be moving to Japan!

I had been wondering what the status of the Noto property was and wondered if it had been affected by the quake. Excited to see this new project!

It was really interesting to see these new technologies ^^ Can't wait to see what's going to happen with this akiya

exposing those supports in the attic to give even more vertical space would look really nice, i think. also that 3D scan tech Noda-san uses is so cool!

Watching right now this your video, as a few before and newer ones and got need to go there... I watching and seeking for places worlwide - the most islands and archipelagos to move (relocate) there on some quiet, peaceful, tranquil, remote place... I live in an small country Montenegro by name, where now is a tourism madness... I don’t recognize my country any more... Greetings from Montenegro!

Finally You uploaded a video ❤❤

Congrats. Good luck with the renovation. The people you assembled to do the work seem like a good fit. BTW, we used lidar on a large commercial building--in the end we sold the space after owning for one year as we found a space better suited for us right down the street AND then we put this second space on the market last month after we consulted with several contractors and engineers and the bids we got for renovation were astronomical--the space is an 8000sq ft bow truss building. We are now looking at commercial spaces that require little to no renovation. I look forward to the progress on your new building. Did they give you a time-frame for the renovation work? Is the permit process easy or difficult in this city?

Takiuchi is so cute <3

Yes I am very interested in buying a house there it doesn't have to be right there but close to Kyoto I am been watching your videos for a long time now and following you I am in my 70s and I am retired and I have a good income so it's not that I want to buy some of these houses for income I would like to buy a couple of these houses to enjoy a renovating them for I love the history of the Japanese samurai the Old Farmers the different people of of Japan if you can help me that would be so kind and wonderful on😊😅❤

It's going to turn out really well.

I would love to live in temple.

yeah it's kinda sad and depressing to see the town being like that..

This is such a cool video and smoke shot

In searching for abandoned houses, .among all ,I found that your video clip is very much interesting and wonderful too

Mr.Steven , I must say that I am very much grateful to you for your fine video with balanced assessments covering vital facts. That smart river and the very beautiful picturesque environment of the 2 nd house is so wonderful. I, too, have some fear over the foundation of it. So, There's no doubt that wherever you go in japan, you find beauty. Even that kamiichi Railway station, an end station, so fine. Thanks a lot. You're doing a great job on behalf of many of us.

Made in china

I've only ever smoked western pipes, I'd like to try a kiseru pipe and some japanese tobacco at some point

Where can I buy a house in Japan under 10000 USD?

Is it from religious believe that there’s bad energy in a house in which somebody passed away? In Germany everybody would take such a house because it’s so hard to find anything to live in.

faded than edo period ho Yuuuuuuu

I'm a little late but as usual I'm interested in what this renovation cost since I plan to do the same thing hopefully in 2025...

@GoodOldHousesJapan we are considering purchasing / renovating a house in Japan where we would live up to 6 months of the year. Kyoto is my first choice. It is quite easy to research the costs of system kitchens and baths, etc. but I am having trouble finding out what the cost of "trades" is. I don't have a desire to do roofing or plumbing, and I heard it is a no-no for individuals to do their own electric. So, I am curious about the general costs run for those services.

so june 3rd they got tge next one... crazy

You're making a wise investment. Eventually Japan will wake up and make work/life/home easier on its citizens so that people can not only be prosperous but happy too. When that happens, people will return to the small towns in droves and you will be in the $.

I would like to visit this place just for the freaking history! its a living working relic from a time long ago yet its modernized i would love to visit

Thank you for the great information))

So cool

I like it. This is a cool old town with a lot of potential.

Very interesting, and I noticed it was 3 years ago when you actually made this video. I have never travelled to Japan, although I would dearly love to. Japan is the most beautiful country on Earth, but as you said, the most dangerous! You obviously did a lot of research to make this video, but you were sure to make no guarantees. Which was just as well, as one of the areas you described as 'probably safe', was the Toyama & Kanazawa region. I remember at the beginning of the year, the awful earthquake to affect to Noto peninsula (The same day as the terrible accident at Haneda). Nobody is able to accurately predict any disaster in Japan - or anywhere else in fact - but your video did your best. Thank you for your hard work making this.

its the land of outdated administrative practices, shaming and racism. I love japan, love it like a secind home, but it has huge social problems that no one talks about.

How were you not curious about costs of using a boat there ? I bet the government has sky hi jet ski registration costs to discourage it because they want a quiet environment. Probably sucks to be young in Japan.

Someone bought a place in the countryside and he made it a point to check for the cost traps these purchases are famous for like overdue water, electric or taxes. He bought and a month later received a large fee from some obscure government agency. Be careful.

This video was extremely helpful to me in identifying a small pipe handed down in my family as a Kiseru. It has never been used and has a Japanese label which I cannot read with the date 3/11/26. As I am not Japanese, I would love to find an appreciative home for it. Is there anyone I could contact in the Washington, DC, area?

The Katana was probably more worth than the house. I see triple wins for everyone

We really like your videos you seem authentic on your blog. Is it possible for you to find me an Akiya that is cheap. We will do the repairs ourselves. And where can we contact you for possible investments

Are you going to be staying in Taiwan a long time or are you going to be coming back to Japan soon to make more videos on abandoned houses that are running badges there are people like Us who would love to see your videos and hear from you😊😅😂

i had been wondering if you were gonna start making videos again, or if you were done with the channel. good to see youre doing well

this is my dream. im not jealous of you. im happy for you. or atleast thats what im telling myself God Bless you

awesome video 😊
