that's big enough, obviously no where as big as other houses but my apartment in hong kong is basically that size and waaaay more expensive than that.
which prefecture is this? we live in hyogo, nishinomiya. looking to buy an old house there. what are you doing for heating. i told my wife that i need every room heated. maybe the heated floor system
@killzone2621 Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.
Not bad at all considering that about 10% of the price is the tile roof ;) (especially if it's the original forty-year-old)... got those in Kuldiga, Latvia a lot and some more than a hundred years old. Priceless.
p.s. - the most sincere appreciation for the video =)
I like this place. It'd be a perfect fixer upper for most people. Though I wonder why there was a toilet in the front of the house if that was the front. Some pavers by the front with a set of standing shelves for flowers. The kitchen fixed up and a new bathroom set in place would lighten the house nicely. How many rooms were in this house over all?
Know it all? Please explain how I'm being a know it all? Pointing out obvious contradictions in what you tell me means I think I know more than you? Really? Is asking questions about this house and being on this video mean I know all?
Lol, nothing better to to eh? Is that why you, someone who lives in Japan, is on this video making dick remarks to the uploader?
Don't be so emotionally distraught every time some one points out a nonsensical aspect in your statements. Lol
@parrish001 If you stopped leaving stupid comments maybe they would. You're the arrogant one here bud. Please don't ever come to Japan, we don't need anymore stupid loser Gaijin here.
You want to explain to me how exactly my comments are stupid? Try looking at the entire conversation before you pass judgment. You'd see I was, in fact, simply asking questions relating to this house, since he thought it was such a shit hole. If I knew that guy would have gotten so upset at me pointing out a nonsensical aspect of what he informed me of, I wouldn't have wrote anything at all.
Now I have two assholes trying to insult me over what? Being curious? Prick.
How are you finding all these cheap homes?? I'm thinking of buying something too, someday...but everywhere I look the homes are 10X the prices you're finding.
@mirai23urushidani Go to any real estate company and ask... if you speak Japanese that is. If not you will probably need to have someone who speaks help you search on the net. Where are you located?
@japanbubba thx bubba. i do speak j-go and i've been to a few real estate co. but never seen anything as cheap as $1, lol. i live in the country side, too! hmmm....maybe i should keep looking. btw, cute videos on your channel. cute baby
theres some house in america that are like 70,000, shacks. 20-30 years ago, the house in huntington beach california was about 90,000 dollars and less, now their about 650,000-1.5mil
A lot of talk about the Japanese not liking old house and that the value of the houses just go down and are not appreciated by banks etc.
So how about the extremely old houses for example in Kyoto? Do their value just go down as well? :) ha-ha-ha. Yeah I thought so. So it doesn't apply to all houses.
@reshjuk Houses in Kyoto unless specified in an area of National Heritage or of great importance or history fall victim to the same demise as everywhere else. The city has nothing to do with it. Kyoto is huge.
Everyone moaning about the house. Look on the bright side! It's £50,000! That's like £80,000 less than the crap here! The house is cosy, costs less in the winter to heat and easier to cool down in the summer! Pave the front and put some chairs out, it's a great place for a BBQ and a couple beers! Get a projector and point it at the big cement wall for those warm summer nights when you have friends over and watch a movie!
How long have you lived in Japan? You do understand that the house is virtually worthless. The only thing you are actually paying for is the land underneath. Japanese real estate never appreciates in costs it only depreciates. Do not buy that house!!!! It is a shit hole, if you pay about 3,000,000 yen more you can buy something that is actually livable.
@parrish001 As someone who is a part time real estate agent in Japan it would take way more than 3 Million Yen to fix this house up. What most foreigner don't realize about Japan is that the residential properties depreciates to nearly nothing over 40 years and you are basically paying for the land underneath more than anything. This little plot of land is probably not worth that much so the house is not a good deal. This house is also in an 田舎 (country side) area so it's not worth it.
I see what you're saying. But I think if someone actually bought that house, they'd be living there for a long time. So how wouldn't it be worth it exactly?
You've never seen anybody buy a house like this in Japan?
@parrish001 People always make that assumption but that is all it is, an assumption. As someone who has seen this kind of work done first hand it is more of a means of getting a property in a good area without having to follow new building codes with remodeling. If you tear the house and start new, new building lines have to be setup and they are always smaller than the original, so you're SOL on size usually, but if you remodel you still have a bad frame. Bad for earthquakes. I'm from Kobe BTW
You make it seem these properties are completely pointless and useless, then act as if getting rid of them is a bad idea? And people own them? Who would bother since they're so useless? That alone almost completely contradicts everything you've said.
@parrish001 You can perceive it however you want. You're arguing with somebody who has done this for a living and you know nothing about. I don't come talk to you about your profession and pretend to know something about it so lets be fair. I have not contradicted myself at all only stated facts. Japanese are extremely stubborn BTW and this leads to houses like this sitting for over 20 years before anything happens to them.
Lol, how am I pretending to know what you do or anything about real estate? I've been asking you questions the entire time. I'll admit I made an ignorant assumption because I miscalculated 3,000,000 yen into USD, but I didn't act as if I knew anything about your profession.
@parrish001 Because you told me that I am self contradicting when I wasn't. I gave valid points to everything you ask, yet you seemed to think it was somehow stupid in your opinion. I wasn't the one who came up with how people do business here and what is and Isn't a good investment no house in Japan is an investment BTW. I have been around these projects first hand and can even show you pictures if you want to better explain why and why not. But what I said was 100% true and accurate.
When did I say it was stupid? All I said was that it almost contradicts you after you were so determined to prove to me that these houses would be pointless to buy and they're too much to bother fixing.
@parrish001 BTW I also gave you several situation where people would buy the house and spend the money. But saying something like "why doesn't the government tear it down" was kind of stupid you have to admit. How would you like it if you had an old collectible car that you never use so the government came and impounded it? I guess the only thing you could argue is that this might drive others property values. Still why would you pay to get rid of something like a house.... logic please.
If I had an old car rusting out, not running and sitting on the side of the road, I'd be asking for the government to tow it. That's basically what these houses are right? They're not worth buying and they're in bad shape, just sitting and falling apart. So how is wondering why the government doesn't use the land for a better purpose stupid?
You'd rather see a broken down empty building than something useful? "Logic please".
@parrish001 Again you are looking at it from "your point of view". I am looking at it from what is best for the customer. I never said the house was garbage. It is still livable in it's current form, just not comfortably livable I suppose. I stated before that for the price it is not worth it. I rusted beat up old car that doesn't run has nearly no value and could not be sold unless it was a classic or had needed parts. This house is buy able but 4Mil yen would be better IMO.
Really? Saying "You do understand that the house is virtually worthless. The only thing you are actually paying for is the land underneath... Do not buy that house!!!! It is a shit hole, if you pay about 3,000,000 yen more you can buy something that is actually livable."
You're not saying the house is garbage there? Huh...
@parrish001 The house is crap for western standards yes I would not suggest anyone live in it..... is it possible? Of course. What we constitute as livable as foreigners and what the Japanese do are 2 different things, but you are so obsessed with trying to prove me wrong about god knows what that you won't listen to anything I say. So you should go ahead and buy the house.... it is perfect for someone like you. Between the house and renovation it would be 17Mil. I can do much better for that.
Lol, I'm trying hard to prove you wrong? You get your own statements wrong half the time, I don't have to prove anything. You do it for me.
Again, all I have been doing is asking questions. Once you started contradicting yourself and I pointed it out, you get butthurt and start trying to insult me. You're a joke. I don't know why I bothered asking a *part* time real estate agent anything. Get off your high horse, you're a nobody like everybody here.
@parrish001 Because the owner doesn't have to look at it because no one lives there genius. Did you see anyone in that house? This happens all the time in Japan. Parents get old and move in with their kids, or the parents die and the house is left to them. The house will sit there forever either because the parents want more than what people are willing to pay or the kids are fighting over the home.
Look, first you declare the house is a "shit hole", then go on about buying and fixing it up isn't worth it.
Once I start asking about the reasoning of the houses being there and why the government doesn't do anything, you start saying to opposite.
Now you're on about the house being livable and you're trying to tell me the houses should continue to sit there, comparing it to a valuable classic car.
You make no sense. You're now contradicting yourself.
@parrish001 I never said the house was a "shit whole" those are your words not mine guy. You would rather obviously argue a point about something that you know nothing about rather than listen to somebody that has done and try to learn something. The house on top is worthless for that area, but the people owning it don't realize it I'm guessing 4-5Mil OK, and you act like it's free to tear down a house.... are you kidding? To throw away a sofa here in Japan can cost 10,000 yen, imagine a house.
You did say the house was a shit hole. Wow. My first reply to you was directed at that comment. I even quoted you.
Your obvious problem is somehow grasping a nonexistent hidden meaning in what I say. I never told you it's free to tear down a house in Japan, I simply ASKED you WHY the government doesn't do it. As in, I DON'T KNOW WHY the government doesn't and I'm WONDERING why. It's pretty obvious I don't know much about the country, so stop accusing me of pretending.
@parrish001 Let me give you a better explanation. The only reason you would buy this property is if you liked the surrounding area or if it was in close proximity to needed amenities, I.E. train station, highway entrance, shopping ect. For as much as you would spend on the property to get it fixed up, you could by a much nicer used home on a better foundation, with less risk of costly maintenance much cheaper. Bunka homes are prone to collapse in earthquakes because of lenient building codes.
With a bit of remodeling and buying a new toilet it would be 60-70k € which isnt a bad price for a 2 stroy building, I could imagine myself living in that house.
Don't tell me YOU actually bought this house?? Where the hell did you get the 70 grand? I thought you said banks don't usually lend to foreigners? And 70 grand for THAT? Seems a little overpriced if you ask me. The bathroom looked fucking gross. Who fucking puts a urinal in a residential restroom?? O.o
@Cuppedycupcake the UK the cotswolds to be more accurate hehe wer i come from a 3 bedroom house will set u back £230k/$370k thts on the cheap side of thing
I wish I could live in Japan....but....I mean...I would think of myself to be an "ignorant american" in their eyes...but I would absolutely love to visit for a week or so!!
This house has a couple "hmm" factors, for me, but I could definitely see it being improved upon. The outdoor room thing being the toilet is really random, I think putting the laundry or how about an outdoor bathroom, open up the top, and get some dividers to hide behind whilst traveling between it and the main house? After all, carrying laundry outside may make it dirty again if you drop it. But yeah, that one room outside is really random!
Wow, a roof is 40 years old and still usable?! Here, roofs can't last for more than 15 years without needing replacement. That's crazy. I wonder what material it's made of.
I love your vids, it'd be great if you had some kind of light on the camcorder so we could see a little more clearly. Thanks for all the uploads, really enjoying watching them!
I've been told that Japanese houses are really cold in the winter because they have no insulation and it looks like this place fits that description. Those walls look kind of thin!
That is such a nice place... as for the concrete wall - that's so nice! Just polish it up and make it shiny; check out the work of Japanese architect, Tadao Ando.
Everyone seems concern about the toilet. It could have been an expensive TOTO toilet. This type of toilet has a heated seat, bidet (built in) and some models the seat goes up and down. This is convenient where men and women argue about putting the sea down. ;D
Very cool little place! I would live in a place like that for sure! Hope your renovations go well. It is cool to own a house and car in Japan, even if it is in a small town, which might even be better.
70,000.00 dollars or Yen? Petty cute place but as everything renovations are always costly..I find that places there are cozy and I love the sliding doors..Do you need heating or air conditioning? I guess depending location...but your actual place is soo neat!!!
@TheJapanChannelDcom did you get it in the end! you seemed to be interested! I would of taken it. Ill be honest, it looks like a pile of shit. But it still is beautiful. Japanese garden in the back. Replace the kitchen and restrooms, Cant really mess around there, if you know what i mean! Light renovation would be just the thing. so 70,000 plus the renovations (30000) = youve got your self a swell place. 100000 is a bargain.
That's very reasonable. If there is public transport close to the house would make it a steal. I often look at these houses and think how much better they could be with some decent insulation and a bit of an update.
That would fix up quite easily. Just wondering, which ward this house is in? Is it in the city area or further out? If it's in the Nagoya city area you should seriously consider buying it.
That's cool. I wouldn't go for a old house myself, though. In America, you see some ranch style houses (only one floor and the basement) worth like 150-200k. It is completely not worth that at all unless there is land involved. They use to be 40-50k like 15 years ago.
Are you really buying it? In what city is this house? Seems like a lot of space for that price tag. I don't think you can get a house in one of the bigger cities that 70k. With some work this place should be really nice. I like the "mini yard" - big enough for a bbq with friends, if that is allowed. XD
He just couldn't leave the toilet after all the fond memories that he shares with it haha. That's an awesome looking house. Hopefully, if you decide to buy it, it doesn't cost too much to run electrical wires through it ;-p Hell, if I had 70 grand I'd be on the first available flight to Japan haha!
I agree so much, id love to work on that (im a carpenter). The roof looks too good to be true, especially if its supposed to be 40-some-years old.. Floors looked good aswell, it just needs a little rebuilding around the toilet and a little paint like he said. Frickin cheap place
That's pretty cheap. Looks to be in good shape but must be in inaka for a price like that. Nice benjo too. Don't really come across those unless it's the outskirts of a city or town.
I was only wondering, what city are you in and what time is it over there right now? It's 11:57AM here in Houston, USA. Because everytime I'm awake, you seem online. =P
80% of internet users in Japan (especially in the Tokyo apartments) have Fiber-optic internet, Fiber optic is a special wire that can deliver internet download speeds over 80,000kbps (80mbps). So I was wondering, what do you mean by wireless? Wireless as a cable connected to the router and then receiving the internet? Or wireless in a different way? By the ways, Japan is the country with the fastest internet in the world, now I wish we had Fiber-optic cable in USA and Germany.

They're not worth buying and they're in bad shape, just sitting and falling apart. So how is wondering why the government doesn't use the land for a better purpose stupid?
You'd rather see a broken down empty building than something useful? "Logic please".

@parrish001 Again you are looking at it from "your point of view". I am looking at it from what is best for the customer. I never said the house was garbage. It is still livable in it's current form, just not comfortably livable I suppose. I stated before that for the price it is not worth it. I rusted beat up old car that doesn't run has nearly no value and could not be sold unless it was a classic or had needed parts. This house is buy able but 4Mil yen would be better IMO.

@flatblackstrat
Really? Saying "You do understand that the house is virtually worthless. The only thing you are actually paying for is the land underneath... Do not buy that house!!!! It is a shit hole, if you pay about 3,000,000 yen more you can buy something that is actually livable."
You're not saying the house is garbage there? Huh...
parrish001 1 year ago
@parrish001 The house is crap for western standards yes I would not suggest anyone live in it..... is it possible? Of course. What we constitute as livable as foreigners and what the Japanese do are 2 different things, but you are so obsessed with trying to prove me wrong about god knows what that you won't listen to anything I say. So you should go ahead and buy the house.... it is perfect for someone like you. Between the house and renovation it would be 17Mil. I can do much better for that.

@flatblackstrat
Lol, I'm trying hard to prove you wrong? You get your own statements wrong half the time, I don't have to prove anything. You do it for me.
Again, all I have been doing is asking questions. Once you started contradicting yourself and I pointed it out, you get butthurt and start trying to insult me. You're a joke. I don't know why I bothered asking a *part* time real estate agent anything. Get off your high horse, you're a nobody like everybody here.
parrish001 1 year ago
@parrish001 Because the owner doesn't have to look at it because no one lives there genius. Did you see anyone in that house? This happens all the time in Japan. Parents get old and move in with their kids, or the parents die and the house is left to them. The house will sit there forever either because the parents want more than what people are willing to pay or the kids are fighting over the home.

@flatblackstrat
Look, first you declare the house is a "shit hole", then go on about buying and fixing it up isn't worth it.
Once I start asking about the reasoning of the houses being there and why the government doesn't do anything, you start saying to opposite.
Now you're on about the house being livable and you're trying to tell me the houses should continue to sit there, comparing it to a valuable classic car.
You make no sense. You're now contradicting yourself.
parrish001 1 year ago
@parrish001 I never said the house was a "shit whole" those are your words not mine guy. You would rather obviously argue a point about something that you know nothing about rather than listen to somebody that has done and try to learn something. The house on top is worthless for that area, but the people owning it don't realize it I'm guessing 4-5Mil OK, and you act like it's free to tear down a house.... are you kidding? To throw away a sofa here in Japan can cost 10,000 yen, imagine a house.

@flatblackstrat
You did say the house was a shit hole. Wow. My first reply to you was directed at that comment. I even quoted you.
Your obvious problem is somehow grasping a nonexistent hidden meaning in what I say. I never told you it's free to tear down a house in Japan, I simply ASKED you WHY the government doesn't do it. As in, I DON'T KNOW WHY the government doesn't and I'm WONDERING why. It's pretty obvious I don't know much about the country, so stop accusing me of pretending.
parrish001 1 year ago
@parrish001 Let me give you a better explanation. The only reason you would buy this property is if you liked the surrounding area or if it was in close proximity to needed amenities, I.E. train station, highway entrance, shopping ect. For as much as you would spend on the property to get it fixed up, you could by a much nicer used home on a better foundation, with less risk of costly maintenance much cheaper. Bunka homes are prone to collapse in earthquakes because of lenient building codes.

With a bit of remodeling and buying a new toilet it would be 60-70k € which isnt a bad price for a 2 stroy building, I could imagine myself living in that house.

This house has a couple "hmm" factors, for me, but I could definitely see it being improved upon. The outdoor room thing being the toilet is really random, I think putting the laundry or how about an outdoor bathroom, open up the top, and get some dividers to hide behind whilst traveling between it and the main house? After all, carrying laundry outside may make it dirty again if you drop it. But yeah, that one room outside is really random!

Everyone seems concern about the toilet. It could have been an expensive TOTO toilet. This type of toilet has a heated seat, bidet (built in) and some models the seat goes up and down. This is convenient where men and women argue about putting the sea down. ;D

@TheJapanChannelDcom did you get it in the end! you seemed to be interested! I would of taken it. Ill be honest, it looks like a pile of shit. But it still is beautiful. Japanese garden in the back. Replace the kitchen and restrooms, Cant really mess around there, if you know what i mean! Light renovation would be just the thing. so 70,000 plus the renovations (30000) = youve got your self a swell place. 100000 is a bargain.

That's cool. I wouldn't go for a old house myself, though. In America, you see some ranch style houses (only one floor and the basement) worth like 150-200k. It is completely not worth that at all unless there is land involved. They use to be 40-50k like 15 years ago.

Are you really buying it? In what city is this house? Seems like a lot of space for that price tag. I don't think you can get a house in one of the bigger cities that 70k. With some work this place should be really nice. I like the "mini yard" - big enough for a bbq with friends, if that is allowed. XD

80% of internet users in Japan (especially in the Tokyo apartments) have Fiber-optic internet, Fiber optic is a special wire that can deliver internet download speeds over 80,000kbps (80mbps). So I was wondering, what do you mean by wireless? Wireless as a cable connected to the router and then receiving the internet? Or wireless in a different way? By the ways, Japan is the country with the fastest internet in the world, now I wish we had Fiber-optic cable in USA and Germany.
