  • Oh I would definetely make that last shed into a dojo of my own! Then teach me kids some kendo!

  • if house is too too cheap price, its good for saving money, but it means someone died or commit suicide in it. ask the agent for details.

  • new subscriber and loving the videos. lol youve got loads. generally is property expensive in japan?

  • Looks wonderful, once it's all been cleaned up and all the rubbish thrown it will make a great home. The traditional living area look much older than 40 years what a wonderful space.

    I wonder what induced you to settle in Japan though and in such an apparently out of the way place?

    I wish you lots of happy years living there.

  • Not only guys like machinery and stuff. T.T Rawr, I used to fix cars with my Dad, girls like to get dirty too!

  • at about @3:00 it gets epic. This place is HUGE. good score. Is it near soma?

  • I find this playlist incredibly interesting...speaking as a girl hehe.

    Yeah, it's quite fascinating to see what kind of odd treasure troves some old places can be.

  • It's so cool that you bought it :3 I can't wait to see it all restored >.<

  • This house is full of STUFF! and you bought it. Best of luck. Must be exciting, not only renovating it, but finding the hidden treasures it contains.

  • wow, i absolutely love the place

  • He bought it!

    :p

  • this house is sweet!!!!

  • the size of it and the exploring of the stuff alone would make it worth it

  • @TheSamaell i totally agree!!!! how i wish i get my hands on them!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Did you buy this place? There's gotta be hidden treasure in there. Probably buried out in the garden.

  • buy this house, it's the most awesome out of all the videos you've shown!

  • Yes that would be the ideal house to rent for a group of guys, with its capacity to take up to 4 guys simultaneously needing to pee!

  • Wow, That house is awesome!!! I definitely love it!!

  • What is 38 perch that you keep saying?

    Can you please state home measurements in square footage, and/or the land in acres maybe? Thanks mate!

  • how much is this? This is a really interesting place!

  • I do like to go treasure hunting in this house, may find something interest~~

  • I'd buy it and fix it up in a heartbeat! sadly i need to finish my last years of school in sweden first ;>

  • where is this house located? how much is it going for? I just came back from Japan and I would really buy a house like this one!!!

  • What is the listing like? "For Sale : House. And stuff." ^_^

  • Thank you for the video! Keep up with the good work!

  • Nice find. I love all that stuff. Would be sweet sorting through it all. Need any volunteers? ;) Apart from the property price and legal fees does one have to budget for the house clearance refuse collection? I can imagine it to be quite expensive -unless you are allowed to take it to the tip yourself.

  • to clean and to sort all that stuff need help of all channel friends and subscribers :D

  • That was one exiting house with full of dreams and potintial!

    Love to have much space like that.

  • If you buy this house I would love to see videos of the work you guys do to it! I love fixers, definitely a plus with the sheds and guest house. Not to mention the garden, who needs markets when you've got it all in your yard.

  • omg i'd love to buy that place and spend like 10 years just cleaning it out and restoring itttt I want itttt

  • This place looks like a keeper!  I can think of all kinds of ways to pretty up the yard (not into shoveling out the interiors though :D ). Man, you could spend months just sifting through the stuff left behind, maybe some of it's worth something.

  • excellent !

  • So have you given this place anymore thought? Seems like an easy 'fixer'. For the amount of land that's available, it's a given you probably won't see too many opportunities like this around.

  • very very cool house(s). I would buy it :)

  • love it ! how much ?

  • cool video, cool house

  • The place is less a farmhouse and more of a compound. Probably could have a schoolroom in one of the buildings :)

  • oh my goodness! the mess at 1:54!! How could they leave it like that!

  • selling houses like that wouldn't be legal in england. you would have to make it cleaner and neater

  • The last room i was actually thinking you would say something like "oh this is a ideal place for a workshop" :)

  • Even though no one's lived their for years, the realtors should have at least cleaned the place up a bit...

    But other than that, the house looks pretty kool

    I especially love that big lit tatami room!

  • Wow, I had the volume turned up to be able to hear you in the other video, then watched this and I was shocked half to death by HEY GUYS!!! before i managed to find the pause button.

  • This house has overflowing with stuff. and daruma is too big.

    (;´д`)

  • @1103mix1103 lol

  • good japanese house. your wife probably knows to get someone for refreshing the tatamis. and check for termite/earthquake damage in the foundation~ overall great find!

  • lots of staaff :)

  • thats an amazing project there! i would buy it if i had the cash :)

  • Looks like a cool project. If you spend some time fixing it up, It will definitely look cool.

  • If I had a Job, knew the language a little more and lived in Japan I would have bought it... it was awesome! love your videos btw ^_^

  • Love it

  • That house could definitely be fixed up to look more traditional and and old school jp...

    would look great....love older buildings and so much space rare.

  • if you bought that house you could play fruits basket in it <3 lol

  • @Lovable0ak haha

  • Man I wish I had this house.

    I would so want to remodel!

  • Comment removed

  • Will you be looking at any houses that are not as old? Maybe 10-20 years old and not as dilapidated.....lol?

    Usually well built houses last for over a 100 years in the US. I'm sure there are ones like that in Japan that are only 10-20 years old even though it might be fully depreciated.

  • Cool place.  I can see you tearing around on the tractor, planting your garden!

  • wait! why you making this vid?

    Just to show us old houses or you want someone to buy it?

  • im sorry but you didnt mention how much this house was worth..

  • @singh4lyfee how much was this house. It is amazing.

  • @lord123j I have no idea, I liked the house also

  • Wow, this place is huge o.o'

    Seems like a good house, but for cultive your own farm requires so much dedication :/.

    Actually i thought there were not so much houses like this in JP right now, i mean so much ppl spend their times outside houses, working or they're busy with anything :3

  • Beautiful house! It's got some nice potential :)

  • That is one awesome farm house!! I'd buy that house If I could ^_^ I've always wanted a farm of my own ^_^

  • I would definitely get that house if I could.

  • That is an Awesome house!!! I love the old style houses the best. All that "Old Stuff" could bring in a lot of money on ebay!, lol, that stuff would probably paid for the house by the time out got it all sold.

  • damn,honestly? this house seems quite nice.

    do you consider buying this?

  • I have a VERY strong urge to clean that place~!

  • What the hell?, you say the girls don't find this cool?, I'm a girl and this place looks sweet just need some touch ups so it can be in it's glory again.

  • @ESUTERURE im with you. this is my favourite house so far.

  • @auntbecky Thanks.

    Are you a girl too?

  • @ESUTERURE yes i am

  • @auntbecky Cool!

  • loved that! (And I'm a girl) Any kind of odd little house. It didn't have a lot of nooks and crannies though and weird hidden rooms. If one has a lot of friends and is a farmer, the house would be perfect. Otherwise..would be so lonely.

  • stuff

  • stuff

  • And is a house like that expensive?

  • Haha, the long toilet room looks hilarious somehow :D

  • How much is that house?

  • I see a lot of potential in this. I really want to go digging through all that stuff to find some treasures.

  • this place is better than the other houses you reviewed. definitely has lots of potential

  • Oh wow, how nice that house is! I love all the light that gets in and gives the whole place a peaceful glow.

  • Scissors!!!

  • Just wondering but... how many times did you exactly say "stuff" in that video? It's almost a "stuff" obsession. lol :P

  • Fantastic house. Sometimes the real gems are buried even under tons of junk. but I agree with you, imagine what you might find that is worth something! Very cool.

  • If you bought this you would have a lot of cleaning up to do. がんばって

  • I've been following all your house hunting video's with interest. Lots of them were nice, but this has been the first one that has really jumped out to me and caught my interest.

    Do you know if the reason it's not sold has been due to lack of interest or if it's just the pace of the lawyers?

  • You forgot to mention, and i'm a bit curious to know :)

    How much was all this worth?

  • I'll help you clean up, paint and everything.... if you pay my plane ticket :D

  • Comment removed

  • i have a very important question. my dad is 63 years old and my uncle is 67 and i would like to move them to japan,i am looking for a good place to lice for the 3 of us and its really hard. do you have any info so i can go by so i can get my family out of the united states

  • wow you can fill up a small store with all that stuff :P

  • The great thing about this is you can probably haggle them down real cheap cause no japanese person is going to buy it, and with some hard work this house could be great!

  • What's the price? I'll come and buy it! (if I only had the money...)

  • Sugoi, what a lot of space! I like it!

  • LOL...A window that connects the bathroom and the kitchen. Very convenient if you don't mind eating dinner while on the pot.

  • how much would a place like that cost

  • This house is gorgeous! You should show your other half all the nice comments people have written about the place and convince her to buy it!

  • @MavericksRequiem

    How in the world is this gorgeous , sorry but thats an overstatement.

  • Hey, thanks for your vids, love how yo catch all the culture and stuff and i men all! i have a question, i have heard of "wa" ( i think this is what you call it), the concept of keeping it stable/peaceful in the house and neighbourhood, now at this house, i love the overhang, lean to, and my immediate thought was , great place for a open air blacksmith shop. would this be acceptable? or am i way off track? do you see what i am saying? thanks for your time, ed.

  • I like this one. Could imagine it done up quite well. You didn't mention the price... The second house would make a great office, writing rooms. Take you awhile to get through all the stuff. I'd live there, for sure. Cheers

  • 1:25 hello kitty <3, she is the japanes waldo.

  • snoopy at 5:43-5:49 .... eitherway I think cleaning this place will cost more than buying it :x anyone has a few million dollar/euro/pound to spare? :D

  • I'd say you might have been living in Japan for a tad too long up until now, when you start thinking, girls won't be interested in rummaging through old and dirty stuff or having tools and stuff around them... ^_^

    I don't think I'm the only girl around here who just loves this and wants to start trying out all the tools at once!

    Great house! And a garden attached to it - I'd take it! =)

  • This house would make some excellent videos in the future.

  • What a neat place! I would love to have all that space! You could have a vegetable garden. Wow. Thanks for sharing this.

  • lol make dojo, wonder if he gets to keep all this stuff

  • I think the guy died but they didnt want to tell (or you didnt want to tell us)you because it is considered bad luck and if someone died in a flat or a house they would sell it for half the price right?

  • Hell yes! Look at all that garage and workshop space!

  • no one live there?

  • Love old houses like this.

  • Always be weary of places that haven't been lived in for a long time (more than 1 year). I can see all sorts of issues you' find once moved in. Also, those bathrooms need to go! ha

  • That tatami room was awesome. You may have said it but i missed it, what was the asking price for this one?

  • man, that needs a looooooooooot of cleaning up

  • you guys looking to purchase a house? I'd love to see more videos on this house with renovations if thats the case.

  • ha, how i would love to look for treasure in that place!!

  • If I had the money I would buy this property in a flash. I would have the time of my life messing about, cleaning up all that =)

    Wonder how much the price was...

    

  • I love it.

  • I wouldnt be against a big renovating project, I mean, removing all that junk you got a decent japanese house right there. I often wonder jow it would be to buy a cheap, forgotten house and then turn it into someting splendid. I bet you save alot of money and you got this classic japanese house that I know you always wanted ;)

  • Wow, cool house. Great architecture, spacious rooms, plenty of workshop space, garden area, what's not to like? Well, maybe some of the "stuff". :D

  • House looks like a money pit and in need of a lot of work.

  • I admire your optimism

  • holy shit. are there a lot of places like that in japan? that's truly a "want haz".

  • I Love Dirty Stuff and Old Stuff and Mysterious Stuff

  • amazing house that is, how mutch was it actually going for?

    

  • Seems most people here like the house, as do I.

    Make sure (if you get this house) to post videos of any of the interesting stuff you find amongst the garbage in the house.

  • this house looks like PURE ADVENTURE :DD

  • I just love it. We're on that size block in Australia and although it is obviously 'normal' size here, it is a good size block. We grow vegies and have chooks.

  • yup love it

  • Thank you for the cool house video

  • Think that's the best one so far that you've showed us. Could Ebay alot of that "stuff" and make some cash back.Or just get a big dumpster and start chucking. But yeah, after a good cleaning that place would look nice.

  • is this thing huge or what?

  • indoor well omg! : ))

  • What's that creepy head thing at 6:13? o.O

  • I caught a glimpse of Russell Crowe running from one of those sheds!

  • CREEPY!!!

  • Looks allot like my Grandparent's house. They have lots of junk all over the place.

  • I did like the dusty, dirty rooms actually.

    Can someone tell me, is it more typical for the exterior of older Japanese farm homes to be painted, or stained. I think I saw a combo of the two here and in previous vids. Just wondering if anyone knows.

  • what was the price on this one?

    and how could they not like old stuff? old stuff is awesome.

  • Does your significant other think you're weird for liking old stuff?

  • By far the best place youve shown so far. Looks like a winner to me! I cant wait for the videos on how to create a Japanese garden with a random tractor over grown vegitation lol.

  • I'd want a countryside house like that. It'd be better than the crowded city for a change. Hope not much pollutions like some countrysides in the US are full of. Fascinating video yet again.

  • yay! i can hear you without turning my volume all the way up :]

  • ill buy it no doubt

  • I don't understand why people would keep so much stuff lying around. I'm kind of a minimalist type of person. Do away anything that isn't needed and there's less chance for chaos to occur, because you don't have to manage so many items. :D

    Everything must be orderly. Nothing can obstruct that pattern of clearness.

  • I want that house!

  • i like it n.n

    So much space too, and plenty of nature. it would be awesome to set up a little zen garden around... and the higher ceilings must be good for a tall person like yourself. though the dead guy and the 'mystery stuff' does concern me a bit, haha xP

  • i love this house, so much character, I would love a house like this. Also it would be a lot of fun to sort through all that junk, who knows what you would find.

  • that house has lots of potential :D

  • do you think that if they clean their houses when they put it up for sale that it will increase their chances of selling it?

    i'm kind of surprised that they are ok with putting it up like that on the market.

  • Based off the comment below, I have a question: Are the Japanese "scavengers" like Americans? That's to say, are yard sales or garage sales a part of their culture? During this time in the USA, esp. w Independence Day coming (July 4), MANY people--even entire neighborhoods--clean out basements, garages and such to sell their junk. And people drive around looking for "treasure". A lot of times you'll hear of folks buying an item for mere dollars only to find later it's worth thousands. LOL

  • @thecuddlewagon

    No, no garage sales.

    And most of them are not interested in old stuff.

  • @thecuddlewagon There are shrine sales. Paul Maclardy, who runs Arise, a big wholesale and retail warehouse Asian antique store in NE Washington DC, used to go to Japan, maybe still does, and collect Japanese antiques at shrine sales and other places and send them back in a container on a ship that he then unloaded at his shop. He seems to have shifted more towards new items and a wholesale clothing business lately (made in India), but the point is, there are sources of such items in Japan.

  • Lots of space to rent to tourists! Sign me up for next year if you buy this.

  • @samilinno

    Ohhh, me too me too :D

  • I say Take it all that needs to be done is some cleaning ( as you said) and a few odd jobs that can be done well living there.... plus by selling all of the stuff that you don't need you could likely cover the reno costs

  • You ought to pick that one up, mate. Looks like it would be a fair dinkum handyman's bargain!

  • too big for me :(

  • looks good. you can probably handle the handyman bits no prob. how far is it from society? haha. you should get this one.

  • i like this house its one of my favorites so far it really doesn't look that bad it just needs a good cleaning i also love the big old style room and the yard is great ! i would totally buy this house i would just worry about how difficult it would be to get rid of all the trash but id love to see if anything cool was in any of the boxes thanks again for another cool video ^^

  • it'd be worth buyimg just to check out the stuff! :D

  • The volume was good on this one. Thanks.

  • Thanks for making these video,I really appreciate them.But could you make a video about Japanese Lawyer since it will be very interesting to see how they approach argument because it generally does not lead to harmony in court which is the Japanese way of life.

  • I'd live in that for sure. Which is odd, I haven't thought that about many of the houses you've shown on your channel.

  • I was wondering... can you demolish the second house or the sed, for instance, so you can get extra garden space? and how much would it cost to make this garden... a real garden, with mowed grass, some nice plants and maybe even a lake?

  • if you are working on the garden you can use... the garden! no need for the yucky urinal :p

  • That is so freaking awesome! While you were going through it I was already thinking to myself everything I would do to it lol. I'd keep most of it the same but do a lot of renovation to it and I would try to make the coolest Japanese style garden anyone has ever seen! Thanks for sharing, I really like these videos :).

  • great place mate, i think this is the best one you've shown so far, a lot of space and if you can get it rather cheap it would be a real diamond in the rough especially if you plan to have kids or like you mentioned have a dojo .

    one thing that generally concerns me about the farm houses though is the proximity to the nearest town or station whats the situation like there?

  • It would be awesome to clean the whole place up, land and all - and then see what it looked like afterwards.

  • Once you start cleaning you'll find the '56 chevy convertible in there somewhere...Lol. Nice, thanks for sharing.

  • What is the price of the home........
