[Yasu212121]

[kaito8209]

[allgoo19]

Wow!!

Kakushiki!!

It's not a cheap house. It's huge by Japanese standard.

[Vladey14]

I know. Its very rare to find a japanese house the size of a 4 bedroom house in America. Only reason why I know that because I saw in a documentary from Japanese architecture.

[Aozakura25]

what area is it in?

[Ichigobleach7391]

Wow, it's quite traditional. I'd love to try living in a traditional Japanese house for a while. I love the sliding doors. =)

[yunafantasy25]

1)Wow i love the Yoshida san house! its beautiful! :)

[rustupidgay]

looks like farmer's house

[RogueTheElfWarrior]

You have a very beautiful garden and home.

[RavenNight2641]

wow!! thats quite a view from that window in the last couple shots^_^

[blackberrybunny]

What a neat home! The first part of it seemed really traditional, and then, as you moved towards the kitchen area, which is really the heart of a home, right?---it seemed more lived in. They didn't have the tratitional Japanese bath though, but wow, what a home. Can you tell me please what the music was? It had a funky beat--loved it! Your videos are great!!!

[emeraldsunsets]

Very very modern bath!

[isukaruyoyo]

they are rich yeah? amazing home.

[aaalllkkkiii]

Ich will nach Japan

[Ayumura96]

This is your house? Its big compare to other Japaneses house.

[MonaMouselle]

[saailoormoon]

What's that thing in the toilet paper?  O.o

[KEARTRACHAN]

Lol japanese dont use toliet paper....they have but cleaners in the toilet

[bigbuggie5]

Yes they do!

[hydrohills]

how much would it probably cost to buy a house that size in yen

[shin2605]

i think it's about 30.000.000yen whithout land cost.

[Juice1001001001]

that;s cheap that's like 30,000 dollars

[shin2605]

30.000.000yen = about 300.000 dollars^^;

1$=107yen

[Blakefe]

[ALBERTOSKATER436]

i want a house like this but i dont like the japanese showers

[gogreen91]

ah this is soo cool. youre so lucky to get to live in japan!

ive always wanted to go. although that house is extremely spacious compared to apartments in the cities i actually prefer the cramped spaces more. less to clean i think, plus its more cozy. lol i guess thats why i chose the smallest room in our house?

[pixiepix1298]

i think she is lucky 2!!!! although i get to go to japan my sophmor or junior year of high school! i am really excited!!

[chiggenwang]

ooo very nice house! How much was it? (In US dollars)

[CAFE1]

[pigstaanime]

[TyraW2686]

The land has been in the family for 300 years.

so it's one of those deals.

[slimey18]

Wow! It's so bigg!!!

[lrosmond]

Okaasan was so cute at the beginning. I love Japanese people.

[foxboy9]

how do you go through an exchange program O_O im curious what you had to go through

[TyraW2686]

I applied fo it. I went through labo international exchange foundation. Because my exchange was a job I had to go through an interview, but if you want to go there as a homestay for the summer, you just have to sign up

[foxboy9]

do you have to pay for anything? O_o what do you have to do for them in exchange?

[TyraW2686]

go to the website

google - labo inernational exchange foundation

it will give you all the info you need

[xoxgirl45]

are the sliding doors made out of some type of paper?

[TyraW2686]

yuppers

[shabu911]

[TyraW2686]

[Bakateer]

You said they were your host family? Through what program did you go to Japan with?

BTW thanks for posting this up, I'd love to go to Japan one day. You're very lucky

to have gone!

[lindsayweitman]

I went through Labo International Exchange Foundation

:)

[misaofosho]

whats the song called? the song is stuck in my head.. DON DON DON

[TyraW2686]

It's on my computer as "tribal house". I don't know who does the song either :( it's a fairly long song at 30 mintues.

[converse05]

how much money was your house ?!?! i would like to knoe

[TyraW2686]

I have no idea.

The land has been in the family for 300 years, they renivated it the year before.

I never asked. sorry.

[kwillz123]

wweell if anyting

can you please let me know if any houses cost

thnk youh;D (im still looking) D:

[fedstar69]

My class loved this video-thanks!

Funky music- they enjoyed that also.

Sparked a lot of discussion, especially the toilets!

[TyraW2686]

:) I'm glad that it was so useful.

[gimpyf]

The music is...so boring....but the video is cool

[AlanMolstad]

when we see the temple, there is a sign above it.

What is the story there?

What is the reason for the sign, and what does it say?

[AlanMolstad]

I have been looking at a lot of videos of Japanese homes, and a lot of them sure seem to have a big problem in the kitchen with storage!

It's like the home was designed for an age when there was a LOT LESS stuff in the kitchen.

Some newer homes with lots of kids have yet one small shelf for all the dishes.

[AlanMolstad]

at 1:47 we see something, what are we looking at and how is it set up?

at 2:45 we see a bath and a wash area, how does the floor drain?

a 3:00 we enter a kitchen, why is everything out?, is there enough storage to hide everything?

[TyraW2686]

It's a temple for the house, it has insense and candles to honor their loved ones with.

it's also set up like a box so the front has doors (that are open here) and can be closed.

there is a drain area beside the bath or in the middle of the floor.

That's a mystery that is common is a lot of my host families house, I don't think there enough storage for everything, they don't throw things out so often as we do so it piles up.

[watersports2]

Where in Japan is this house?

[TyraW2686]

It's in the country side near Nagoya

[miedo811]

I'm jealous of you! I you watch much anime it looks very alike! do you speak japanese??

[TyraW2686]

I can get by with the Japanese that I know, but I'm not fluent at all :( yet anyways :)

Thanks for watching

[oldme06]

Thats a wikid house...I want one like that! but What I liked mist was your awsome nail varnish, it so pretty!

[TyraW2686]

thanks :) it's my favorite!

[heyheystephy]

omg the house should be pretty expensive O.O i LOVE it! omg its so big i wanna live in it im dreaming..

[Zeezy]

Wow, now that's a really nice house.

I love Japanese houses

[Agalelom]

How much does a japanese house like that cost please tell me.

[TyraW2686]

I honestly don't know. The property has been in the family for HUNREDS of years. They rebuild a few years back. The houses in Japan are fairly expenive - so I'm told - about 500,000 plus

[anh67]

in Yen or what? yo in Canada house are being way too expensive now, like a little house of 4 bedroom was sold at 1.9 million, the house was owned for 45 years.

[WhiteMatrix2006]

I will doing a foreign exchange student program at my university in a year. Can't wait to go to Japan for a semester. Then after I graduate, go into the JET Programme and go to Japan to teach English for a year or more. Can't wait. Big house by the way. You got lucky. You didn't have to stay in a small apartment like a lot of other videos I've seen. LOL!

[TyraW2686]

That was just one place I staied. I've staied in two apartments over the year and oddly enough they were fairly spacious. Maybe I just lucked out.

good luck with your exchange!!!!!!!

[WhiteMatrix2006]

Why did you move around? You were a foreign exchange student right? Shouldn't you of stayed in 1 place while you were there? Thanks for the "good luck".

[TyraW2686]

I'm with a company as an intern so I have to move when I change districts and such for work.

I've lived in Saitama, Achi, Kanagawa and now Chiba.

but if you're an exchange student you normally have one host.

[WhiteMatrix2006]

Does it feel weird moving from family to family? Do you usually get along with the families? Is it hard adjusting to the different families? Sorry for all the questions. LOL!

[TyraW2686]

it did at first but then you get used to it.

I enjoy moving because I have a hard time staying in one place for to long :P

I've gotten along with all my families, each on is different but you learn to get along.

no problem about the questions :)

[DXWXMX44]

enjoyed the tour - liked it all. nice to see what the sliding panels look like inside.

[YamelaineGarcia]

Wow. People are making such a big fuss for a house... Who were the two persons talking?

[TyraW2686]

My host mom and her brother in law

[YamelaineGarcia]

Oh. ok, thank you

[OuranHaruhi]

I always wanted to see what the inside of a real Japanese house looked like. :3 This is a big house too. Pretty kewl.

[AlanMolstad]

To tell the truth I was in for a bit of a let down when I started to view Japanese homes on YouTube.

I expected the same types of homes as I see in Japanese black and white movies.

In such movies there can be a whole house with just empty rooms.

I guess it would be like seeing a video of my home and expecting to see a cowboy hat and a horse?

[TyraW2686]

I know how you feel, when I first got here all my preassumptions about the Japanese got a bit of a vigorous uprooting.

haha yea.

It's the same here to though, people are always surprized when I tell them that their house is either the same size as or bigger than mine back in Canada.

[AlanMolstad]

As you walk around the house I loved the clean lines of the rooms and how everything was put away.

As I watched I kept thinking to myself, "Wheres the mess?"

Then you got to the Kitchen...Oh My Gaud!

[TyraW2686]

Ahahaha, You know, Japanese houses have SO MUCH STUFF IN THEM omg, I've never seen just piles of random stuff everywhere before in my life.

however..the house I'm staying in now is pretty clutter free, oh and the last last house.

I've been to so many houses and they are almost the same, just stuff everywhere.

it's like a huge organized mess.

[jadeAroo9]

was it different/ like in what ways is it contrast japanese house and a american house?

[TyraW2686]

Hm,

They don't have heating like we do, they have heaters but no furnace...but they do have air conditioners.

The walls are smaller than our (no insolation)

They don't have Ovens, or rarely have ovens.

That house is fairly big, most houses are really small and *close* to each other.

The biggest difference is how the family works and how things are done daily.

[tenshimoon]

Nice, I've always been interested in Japanese culture and someday taking a trip to Japan. Thanks for showing that it was very interesting.^_^

[TyraW2686]

:)

You're welcome. The Japanese how is really something.

[TyraW2686]

this tribal work out song I had on my computer.

Oh I say 'I think it's funny that I'm in Japan and their house is bigger than the one I lived in in Canada'

I knew I should've put subtitles but I didn't.

thanks :)

[goku178]

so that is how a japanese house looks like from the inside. i wised i lived in one. they look cool. well there is no bed like the one here in canada. but i think i can get use to sleepping on the floor.

[joust03]

that was really cool Ty! What was the music that you used? That house looks amazing! Cant really tell what your saying about canada in the beginning though.. Luv!!
