I don't know this English-beauty-with-his-face-s­o-close-to-the-camera-I-wanna-­kiss-him, is saying; I love the way traditional Japanese mix their modern buildings/ways with the traditional ones; haven't seen anything like it anywhere and I just LOVE it.

good country of architecture, but buildings in main cities of japan are already higher than the averange of Paris. That's enough.

[tigerlovesrupert]

i think its the europeans and americans that have imported the japanese style

[TheFalllenMaster]

people have difderent ways of living. . . so what?!

asians are asians. we live in our houses while the whites were still in the caves. it's the burden of the white men that made asian lives miserable. china 5000 years ago still china today. you white racists want to control our lives yet you suffer now financially while china enjoys the boom!

@limxiuxiu1 You have always lived in caves, you will in future and you deserve it.

[Fummundacheese]

good video pretty interesting but this guy really needs to edit his scripts with alot more scrutiny he repeats similar/the same phrases way too much.

[lazzile]

Thank you for this video...I enjoy Japanese design......O for the love of Bamboo!!!

[vidiansodality]

well done alain. I want to see more of this video. It is interesting that Alain describes much of the homes as austere as I find that I felt a sense of extreme calm when viewing these homes.

wow, so cool!  Love everything about Japan.

Zoza you are completely incorrect. Japan avoids high rise buildings due to its position on certain fault lines. The buildings are high but much smaller compared to other major cities.

[Zoza15]

Japan is also known as the country of the big highrisis buildings..

[EdoZamboni]

Interesting for those intested in Architecture. However, these examples of contemporary Japanese architecture that bring together tradition and modernity, are not at all representative of the spaces where the vast majority of Japanese people live nowadays. Thus, in my opinion, the point of this piece is being missed or is just not valid.

God i love Japan for so many reasons ! Food, the friendliness of the people, Traditinal Japan, Gardens, And "THE WAY OF PERFECTION" !!! I drive an 16 years old Mitsubishi Lancer, and i love this car !!! Never had any problems with it ! Not like the VW and the Fiat that i had bevor... pfffff. I really wanna visid the Country but man its really expensive to go to Japan !

[sillynrz]

he never said they lost touch. he proved the contrary.

[covmatak]

Who is this guy to go to Japan and tell them that they are "losing" touch with their traditions?? in case he hasn't noticed.. we're not in the stone age anymore...
