Thanks again Chris, and be sure to watch our tour of Tokyo's most exclusive members-only hotel: ruclips.net/video/24RSjPdcT8E/видео.html
You are an amazing presenter!
I personally would like it more as a vacation home than as a full time residence. Unfortunately it will probably be occupied by Chris when he is writing his erotic thriller starring Connor 😜
Probably part time residence, escape from the city spot, great video!
i would like to live in Hakone, it's already got the pirate ship so i'm halfway already there to making 'Goonies' back from the 80's a reality, nice sleepy town + pirate ship, that's Goonies part 2 in the making (i'll be bringing my betamax and rewinder when i get to hakone)
Enjoyed this you and Chris seem to becoming good friends look forward to more
Good to see Chris’s luck with seeing Mt. Fuji is still the same.
Everything good in the universe
one for five thousand
I wonder if Chris has spent more money in trying to see Mt Fuji vs a rough estimate of Garnt's gacha expenses.
Even when climbing it he can barely see it!
As always it was a lot of fun shooting with you guys!
Next up we should go see if there's a house in that smouldering crater!
May I ask does abroad in japan Chrise have a friend rank lol if he doesn't get a good favor from a friend he will demote them through the ranks hahahah
that was an insane video search more tree houses they are fire content
@@khayam1269 Only the "top tier" friends get to spend time in a hot tub with Mr. Affable ❣
@@HeavenlyCreature. lol yes
Truly Affable treehouse
Checked out the Airbnb and went all the way to December 2024, couldn't find a single vacant day!
Nice work to the team for publicising this one, looks amazing 👌
its fullly booked all the way to May 2025 (couldn't physically check any further than that!!) 😆
I went as far as 2035 😵💫😵💫😵💫 and nothing...
@@plantsdaft I'm from the future and I can tell you it's still booked in 3041.
Ranguna There's no point in even holding your breath. It seems to have everything booked 5 to 10 years in advance.
I'd assume they've just not made dates available too far forward - see what the interest is, then release dates gradually with slowly increasing prices.
Chris Broad sure does get around, he's like the village bike of RUclipsrs
Umm...
7:56
I thought he was affable, not easy!
He's so famous that hiring him guaruntees success for anyone's endeavour... This video is an example.
@@BeckyAngelix yep, 150k views in 6 days.
Hey Alex! I am a high schooler and I am into real estate! I am curious about your journey from the states to working in real estate in Japan. I love your videos and they are inspiring!
Alex came on the Abroad in Japan podcast once and talked a bit about his past. It was a cool interview, go listen to it if you haven't already!
@@inspiteofshame which interview was it?
I'm slightly disappointed you cut out how Chris actually got through the window onto the roof. I think this would have been hilarious to watch :)
ruclips.net/video/-4ztcBC6G2g/видео.html @4:10
They need to make a whole village with these. Like that town in one of the Pokémon games.
I fell in love with Hakone because of Yowamushi Pedal...and love that it lives up to the hype!
First place I'm going to when the country opens up more!
Kantan you did an AMAZING job filming, and I love the interactions of Chris and Alex that you captured. Top tier mate, well done!
Same here! KazeTsuyo also made me wanna see Hakone Ekiden.
Chris is cheating on Connor
Love this! It’s so cool you show properties in Japan that we haven’t all seen on RUclips so many times before
I didn't expect the Tree House to be much better until you show that small rooftop space. Simply amazing. Thank you for showing this to us
Chris is a national treasure and we need to protect him from nic cage stealing him
I came for a year…23 years later, I’m still here! I want a tree house like this in my garden!
I initially thought “omg spider house”… but after watching the tour maybe it wouldn’t get so many creepy crawlies in there. 🤔 Seems well sealed from the elements! Looks beautiful actually! Looking forward to Chris’ erotic thriller book “10 Years of Hell” 😂 Great video Alex! I subscribed immediately!
10 years of hell: living the youtube dream
is the most accurate thing I have ever seen
Well done! The two of you make a good team when it comes to presenting awesome architecture and culture to foreigners lol could have waited on the erotic novel commentary! The abroad in a pan cookbook would be saucy enough.
I think the "sustainable" part is more to attract customers, most of the house is made of normal industrial material. Still a very nice treehouse, would love to have one in my garden
100% agree. Chris hinted at that with his "sustainable refrigerator" remark.
It reminds me of a video I watched a week or two ago about a high end resort in the Maldives. Think tropical islands with houses and walkways on posts over the water. The houses were "sustainable" and made of "natural materials", so no plastic or metal except for all of the plastic and metal in plain sight. Each was equipped with a "sustainable" swimming pool, filled with desalinated water at great expense and environmental cost. The only way to reach it was by "sustainable" jet to Male Island international airport, and then taking a "sustainable" seaplane trip to the island itself. I'm sure all of the abundant fresh fruits and ingredients for gourmet dining were "sustainably" flown in as well.
Greenwashing at its finest, but at $5000 a night I'd expect no less.
Yea, no way theu used only to three for that, they dont understand how plank are made, you need huge trees and some of them are not gonna be good to use
I sense a future Wacky Weekend in the works... 😆I would love to see a Chris and Conner's treehouse adventure!
Chris is getting lots of practice giving reactions to things. Alex always knows the coolest spots! Thanks for sharing :)
Alex is always showing the greatest places tbh.
My poor me feels envious 😄
Nice work and nice channel 👍
Always good to see Chris of course.
This channel is super promising. Seeing cool properties is really fun and I haven't watched a lot of it from Japan. Love seeing Chris collab
Normal people: Hakone is a realy good place. There is a beautiful landscape, pleasant nature, and a pirate ship
Me: Hakone is a realy good place. There is hakone turn pike, and tsukuba line.
Chris should be a permanent co-host!
Japan is a beautiful country. Chris & Alex have done so well in showing what Japan has to offer outside of Tokyo. It shows a civilization that embraces technology but is still tied to their ancestral architecture & culture. Great video, gents!
what a lovely couple, beautiful property
Are you guys gonna collab with pewdiepie?
if there's one thing I have to say, "sustainable" doesn't mean "made using locally sourced random things", it means "material that has low impact on the environment. The choice to use rocks and branches from the forest nearby is entirely aesthetic, and isn't about being rinkey dink either. looking at the bathroom should be obvious, sustainable doesn't mean rustic and poor, as long as the materials are going to remain in the home for a century or two, and ideally would have an alternative than ending up in a landfill, it can fit in sustainable. Unsustainable shouldn't be a brand like how organic is just a buzzword, it should be a requirement, or a standard to meet. this house just seems to be proof of concept that sustainable can also be luxurious, that environmental can be both good for the environment AND no compromise comfort. if more people associated sustainable with just "not being wasteful", that would be a success.
The reality is, the more confort and luxury you want the less unsustainable it's going to be. You have to compromise comfort for enveironment. Yes we can increase the efficency to make more luxury with less waste, but the more luxury you want the more the waste is going to increase. The rate at which it increases can be changed with tecnhology and better use of resources, but it will always increase.
I've been wanting to see this video for a while now, it looks extremely neat
Interesting to see Alex saying "Is that right?" (at 0:38) and otherwise employing "aizuchi" while Chris is speaking. I wonder if that's something he's adopted even while speaking english, if he's using it often in a professional setting in Japan.
May I ask does abroad in japan Chrise have a friend rank lol if he doesn't get a good favor from a friend he will demote them through the ranks hahahah
Awesome sharing, great content the amazing super cool Inside Japan’s Most Expensive Treehouse: Million Dollar Hideaway, like it. Good luck my friend. New friend.
A shockingly affable house tour!
I would live there in a hot second. Love Chris Broad he is just the best.
This is so cool having been to Japan twice for weeks at a time, it’s videos of places like this that speak volumes of the sheer number of things to still see in such a gorgeous country! Great job with your video, and your patience with Chris when he was being a difficult at times (at least it seems).
I wonder how safe to live in a treehouse when there’s an earthquake!?!
down your drink every time chris says verticality instead of height
Just love your last 2 videos together. Whenever Japan opens up, I now can find options with your guys advice.
Great video! The editing was really well done, your videos keep getting better and better :)
"pretend you're having fun" hahaha!!🤣
Great to see you both in another video
🥳
Never watched a video where the word ‘verticality’ was featured even once, let alone the number of times Chris used it in this one! My new favourite word!
Such an amazing place! I am truly envious of the opportunity you had to visit this place and explore all of it's nooks and crannies.
Thank you for sharing!
A pirate ship and a treehouse? That's a Peter Pan world!
good luck Alex! nice video again with Chris
Love your content. Hope you enlarge the subtitles. I'm blind and can only read large high contrast text.
Thanks in advance. 💜from Philippines! 🇵🇭
All dates through May 2025 blocked out... interestingly enough. Nothing accessible. Also, seriously, a larger blacker line would be helpfully for visual blacked out dates or an X like Japanse standard. lol. Thanks for the video, awesome as always!
I built a treehouse when I was 10 yo. I used 2x4s for the flooring and inch thick planks for walls. I used steel nails to build the house supported by four tall pines growing close to each other.
In less than a month, I experienced wall planks falling off for no reason. Then one corner of flooring collapsed.
All those four pines swayed in the wind at their own pace and simply fatigued the nails I had used for construction into a catastrophic failure. Metal fatigue by living trees swaying in the wind.
Should have used ropes :)
Best property review team on RUclips
Just checked out of curiosity
it's booked right through to May 2025, which is as far as AirBnB goes
That's amazing
Seeing that ladder wobble and bend made me worry lol
Alex😍😍😍
Saw no comments on this but you really upped your Video Quality. A banger, i loved the details and everything, keep it up!
The damaged thistle postmeiotically live because peer-to-peer biologically wipe aside a uncovered value. absent, opposite carbon
Nice tree house and the kid inside me wants it.
You made one of my small dreams come true, thank you! ❤
I love treehouses so much, so what could be better than a beautiful treehouse
in the middle of the japanese forest with this stunning landscape presented by You and Chris!?
i can't think of anything... except maybe MORE treehouses presented by you 😂
its like chris actually writes a book there, " he bent the ladder going up and down writing his book... literally he only went up once and down once and the ladder was bent beyond repair..."
i might of sped thru this...but one question is in my brain is: how does it fair with earthquakes
I wouldn't have discovered Alex if not for Chris. Lovely content !!
Not gonna lie the lack of rails on the roof made me shiver. Not afraid of heights, just clumsy.
when I get bored in my stupid 9 to 5 job, I love to go through your videos. You and Chris have an awesome chemistry together, if you get one day Natsuki on board too you would break the internet xD
You get my subscription for putting up with Chris😆Great content
Chris should let you arrange accomondation for the next journey across Japan
5:12 that's the moment when they ask the owner if there's a woman living next door and the owner says "there isn't anyone living in the property, a woman used to live there a few years ago but she died"
Woah that's so cozy 👀🍄🍄
The only thing i would add is a portable bath tub.
Is the place isolated enough to just soak in a bathtub on the balcony?
Subscribed, came over from Chris's channel
You're such a wonderful presenter, and what an amazing property! So lovely, I hope I may have a chance to visit there some day. The way you and Chris play off of one another is fantastic and fun xD Keep up the great work!
Woah there, I came back from Chris's channel wondering what happened to you and I realized that I missed your last 3 uploads..........WTF YT. I usually go through my Subscription Tab at the end of the day and I swear I didn't see your last few videos (including this one) pop up there. I guess it's time to click the Bell Icon.
I will always accept your bell rings
Oh man thats such a cool house and built creatively. I'd probably rent it though because it seems a little far from the station XD
I can see more confidence in the overall new videos of Tokyo Portfolio
Its so fun that as soon as Chris isnt the one making the video he lets loose a lil more and goes full creature mode. Lovely,
as someone who lives in a state that is called "people that still live on trees" , this design is very inspirational
I don't know how that rooftop passed safety regulations.
What a marvellous property and just love the concept behind it of minimal impact/waste and harmony with the woodland surroundings.
You found a pirate ship and didn't bring Natsuki?!
Chris and not seeing Mt. Fuji. Name a more iconic duo.
I was expecting the toilet to be just a hole in the bottom of the treehouse you poop into
I feel like I'm obligated to be an NPC in a Harvest Moon game if I live in that sort of place.
Also, love how you were hobbits in Chris’s video, now you’re in the forest visiting Gandalf 😂
This one is my favorite property so far!
Love seeing tipsy Chris causing a raucous
Yea the space/time continuum has definitely been broken. I got environmental whiplash from that. What a cool place! Also, what was behind that door that was next to the bathroom one?
Think it was a closet
I will definitely be going to visit that place
No you can't, yes I use the word CAN'T, the place is fully booked till 2025 LOL!
@@faintsherin4468 Pain T-T
Wherever you go with Chris in Japan, you can always hear him saying "I was actuallly here like zero to ten years ago"
Always looking forward for new uploads
Love your content btw!
Such an affable guest. This place is amazing!
I love how you started and edited the video in a type of Chris style video. love the content
That treehouse is like Narnia, it looks so small outside, but goes on forever inside.
Such a cool place, I have fond memories of the treehouse my Dad built me when I was a kid, and this brings back memories of that one.
It's not a treehouse; it's a stilt house.
Always fun videos, thanks
I used to watch a show called Treehouse Masters where they built places like this.
I love this and your other channel Alex. Keep making videos. 😀
The screen pause at 3:37 is priceless
This would be a really nice place to stay for a few days during a vacation!
This video blew me away. So cool. Found you from the Cdawgva Subathon. Subbed and looking forward to viewing more of your channel. Very cozy.
This is the issue with Japan 'tree' houses. They aren't tree houses, they are houses built nearby trees on stilts!!!
Things I like:
The sneaky outdoor desk on the roof of the treehouse is COMPLETELY NEXT LEVEL awesomeness.
It has a nice big balcony
Great, big, sliding window/screen combination which does not obscure the view
Nice big bedroom
Nice bathroom, although it should be more treehouse theme instead of a modern bathroom dumped into a treehouse
Things I dislike:
Massive waste of space putting the stove in the middle of the room. Makes it difficult to use the space for, well, almost anything, and it is a very ugly color light green as well instead of cast iron black
It isn't a treehouse at all, because it does not use any trees for structural support and it only has a single, tiny, tree that goes through it. Should have found a better spot with an actual good tree, almost any treehouse builder can tell you that finding a good tree is the number one critical factor in building an actual treehouse. If there isn't one, maybe you can buy one and have it moved there.
The branches that form 'tori' gate are just stupid, ugly and serve no purpose
Hello, am subscribe uwu
What a crazy house! I wonder how they handle sound in the large apartments? To my knowledge Japan usually don't use thick walls to soundproof it from neighbours.
Alex is hot just sayin.
