  • The first old house you showed was very beautiful. I love traditional Japanese houses: they look so peaceful.

  • I dont know if its rude or not to ask how long your visa is sorry if it is if your ok with that or not dont answer

  • How much would an old Japanese house be in Japan? Something traditional?

  • There are amado(rain windows) in my parents house and they use them specially in typhoon season to protect the glass windows.

  • Haha yes, ninja-keeper-outers lol

  • "amado " means rain shutter, as those are used against rain old days. It's just name today we japanese use those to keep privacy at night (never for rain)

    Most of japanese open amado in the morning and close in evening everyday. It's one of typical household work.

  • last part was funny

  • Leatherface + paper windows = ...

  • End of the video cracked me up.

  • So... could someone explain to me why people would "dislike" this video. I understand that it's not an edge of your seat video, but who would think "Agghhh, I HATE amado!" and hit the thumbs down button instead of just moving on to another video?

  • nowadays, the house that has amado is a little. by the way, the inside of the house is too dark, when the amado closed, so I had scared its darkness when I was a girl. so I could not sleeping. nowadays, I can sleep everywhere.

  • say minasan konnichiwa the way you say hey guys or the equivalent in japanese please

  • 0:10 i like how you say 'paper" =)) you say it like "pay-PA" =)) haha

  • @gripstwo

    日本語の分かる外国人だっているんですよ。

    特にこういう日本関連の動画ではそういう人が来ることが多い。

    あなたが言ってるのはもの凄い偏見だって気付いてる?

  • LOL - MrBubonicChronic makes me think of a question. IS there such a thing as a trailer park in Japan? I don't think I've ever seen a motor home in that country or in it's movies or television.

  • "Why do they still have them"

    Probably for the same reasons some modern Western houses still have fake shutters. You know the ones that don't even have hinges? They are just screwed to the wall and painted an accent colour. Culture passes on the "way things are done" from one generation to the next even when there is not reason for it. I've seen Japanese people bow when talking to each other on the telephone.

  • that house must be freezing during the winter time...

  • 2:48 gah that house is so pretty :D

  • So they are basically roller shutter for windows.

  • I really like your videos the best. You just focus on the culture, and the facts, and throw in some humor. Other videos of people in Japan get all high and mighty about themselves because they are cultured or whatever. I won't name the one I am talking about, but their YouTube name has an animal in it...*cough* meow *cough*

  • @TheJapanChannelDcom Japan... So innovative and adaptable & efficient even during the ancient times.

  • the end was really funny

  • Thanks for the clarification, I would have called them Ninja-keeper-outers.

  • @thecuddlewagon well damn. thanks for crushing my dream of being the gaijin trailer-park supervisor lol. i too would like too see more hi-rise housing, but it just doesn't make sense for my area right now. we're still waiting for the cascadia subduction zone to rupture.

  • Thank you for the video, and the funny ending.
