The more I watch japanese houses tours, the more I realize that ppl in anime is hella rich
Somebody told me that Anime worked as an escape for them, for the reality that they want.
the property location play a huge role on the price, just like the rest of the world
or living in the countryside where the houses and apartments are cheaper
This is Tokyo. Most Animes are set outside tokyo.
The land probably amounted for 75-80% of the total cost
That building looks more like a small business, like a small medical clinic, dental office or something like that, than living in it. Anyway, it is curious that a house of that cost has the drainage pipes going down the walls in the front facing the street (0:16). That in addition to looking aesthetically horrible, would be illegal in cities of other countries.
Very nice video !!
Do you own any Japanese real estate? Also what is point in buying Japanese real estate as I was told price drops fast. Ie eventually becomes a fraction what you paid so seems awful investment?
I do. And as for the value of the property, the value of the building itself will go down over time, but not necessarily the land below. I have plenty of clients who bought condos new a few years ago and sold them for a large markup, even this year and last.
Floor heating. Are they using electric? That’s interesting to me
Most in Japan use gas
@@TokyoPortfolio is floor heating common in Tokyo?
@@charu002 It's not uncommon, but only in newer/more expensive places. Also, having multiple heating zones is more uncommon than just one.
How about the Tax?
Tax and fees (including my commission) range from 5-8% of the purchase price.
The music is very annoying. Please choose a more somber tune while doing a tour... especially for a house like this.
I recognize this guy from somewhere...
I wonder where...
I think I've seen him on the channel "Abroad in China"
Sharmelon's channel!
Do more collabs, I want the Property Agent Dave back.
snap finger famous
call me picky ! but if I'm gonna spend a million on a house I want to be able to stretch my legs out in the bath
And have more than one!
Exactly my thoughts as soon as I saw that bath
i really dont know how shameless you have to be to call that bathroom "pretty big" as he did 🤣
Japanese standards, that's why
@@martinhaxhari4978 it's considered pretty big depending on the location
It's confusing to imagine jf you jump scene to scene, probably it's better to have the camera guy keeps on following you when you walkt throughout the house
Exactly
Also, I don't think he meant to go into real estate when he found himself in Japan. He doesn't seem like a natural seller, right?
I think the camera angle also very bad
Everyone is on point here. The constant cutting and camera angles made this feel very claustrophobic. Felt like he was going from one closet in the house to the other. I believe it was deliberate to hide how closed-in the interior feels. It feels like i saw none of the house just him talking about things off screen in the corner.
Japan: wow this rich modern large cool amazing house with ONE bath
USA: is this a comedy show?
Its Tokyo!
If this is insane? U should see HK and Singapore
does japan even has any houses for ppl besides temples?
LA: IT'S ONLY $1.2M??!!
@jo ji London is much smaller than Tokyo. Less space means higher prices
I’ve seen better houses for half a million dollars in Japan, or Tokyo alone. The design isn’t worth 1 million.
@Mr pewpeppa Lavo yeah the place and the situation contributes the most in the price , one of my father’s friends bought similarly sized house in outside of Nagoya, Aichi-ken for about quarter of this house’s price.
There's a 200,000$ dollar japanese modern house way bigger than this
what??? Since when is Tokyo so affordable? I expected something in an area like this to be at least 2 million!
I don't think you are paying for the design. It's the location and also the fact that It's made out of concrete, which lasts much longer than typical wood houses in Japan, and is much more expensive than wood
Very true
Maaaan, I know things are different over there. But that house is ugly and awkward. Small, awkward shaped rooms, with steps and weird angles. The 3 storey open plan stairs are not nice, looks a tad too industrial. Just doesn't look cosy or homley at all.
And the balcony for said office is so mf ugly im probably gonna get depressed instead of destressed
This thing was built in 1992 , of course it’s not gonna live up to today’s standards
There are several other cool houses in japan which are comfortable but are pretty new and hence are more costly
You should quit cutting and editing out and just take us on a walk through of you literally walking up through the house because it was so confusing trying to pictures how the house is.
Hey isn't this that Chris's guys friend?
Yep, that's me!
It’s a lot of money, but way less than I would have expected for Tokyo.
There are way cheaper options, it all comes to the location and size, although size is always on the smaller side
Tokyo its a main city ....
For a 4 BR with only 1.5 Bath... I guess..?
Tokyo isn’t actually that expensive, it all depends on the location, where in Tokyo.
Here in Vancouver, for $1.2 million dollars, you can get a 1950s old house with a nearly barren, beaten down backyard with a shack as an added bonus. 🙃
I gotta call out the 1.5 washrooms in a 4 bedroom is not enough. And that kitchen wall opening looks like a take out counter.
yeah if I theoretically bought it, I would take out that ugly drive thru counter instantly
The kitchen area was horrible looks like any kitchen you could find in japan for way less than 1 mil. That was ridiculous. Very cheap confusing renovation
Wow that house is terrible…
I swear Japanese can't design a house. I'd need a western architect.
For that price there should be a seperate laundry room, a garden and another 2× full bathrooms. But this was eye-opening for what is available in different countries.
There is very little available usable land in Japan that has not already been utilized.
You are talking about Tokyo here,.imagine put that same amount of money to buy property in let's say NYC.. 😅
@@Shirokuma15 true! It’s price comes from where it’s located! In NYC 1 mill would get you nothing 🥲
@@ary5829 to make it worse, you dont even owned it, just rent it from government.. 🤣🤣
Forget NYC, 1mil in Toronto might get you a shed at this point, it's bloody insane just how expensive it's getting on major Canadian cities like Toronto and Vancouver
That's crazy. $1M for that?!
It's Tokyo. The ground is more valuable than any building standing on it.
Jesus, I'm from the UK and even here $1.2m would get you something considerably better than this. Not just the size, but the decor and finish looks super cheap.
You gotta switch up the filming style, the jump from scene to scene makes it very hard to keep up with where you’re at in the house. Vlog style would be much easier to follow along with the floor plan, or something similar.
Hi, in the future can you shoot without cropping the video, I want to see the house as live as possible
Check out my more recent videos -- I have a much better camera setup and even an actual cameraman!
Living in Japan, I told my father in law that I was going to buy a house. He told me straight up not to bother because they are a money pit and not an asset. With all the earthquakes there, a house loses its value within 10 years.
not to mention cramped and not spacious.
I live in Toronto and tbh 1.2M for a house in the middle of Tokyo sounds very reasonable. In here, small 50 year old bungalow in a so-so neighborhood costs you around 1.5M.
NYC: "Best I can do is a studio"
In $1.2 million ?
That's insane.
@@kanekiken2002 You can get a penthouse condo for that price
@@gwyn. Really ?
@@kanekiken2002
The info was from a year ago though, I don't know about now. Probably slightly higher but I don't think it'll change much.
@@gwyn. really just depends on where you live, but you can also buy a house for that much outside of Manhattan, like somewhere in Queens and be 15mins away from Manhattan
Nice house, great video, but the constant repeat of the same 5 second music clip is going to leave me with the need for therapy. :)
the bathing culture in Japan is something I will never understand.
I'm a morning-shower American XD
Here in other countries of Asia too we bath in the morning. But bathing in night time makes more sense because of you had sweat whole day, sometime dust picked so when coming home before bed you are thoroughly cleaned. In morning it doesn’t make sense except to feel fresh only
It doesn’t make senses to me as per why would you bath in the morning
Like your body is completely clean as you slept on a clean bed the entire night 😑
On the other hand it makes sense to bath before sleeping as your all dirty after a long day at work
@@shukrantpatil yuhh bro I said the same thing❤️
with that much money i could buy 3 - 4 huge mansion fully furnished in my country
But it's not Tokyo. That's the catch.
With this amount of money, I can only buy a small apartment in my country (Singapore). T.T
yeah, but can you put them in the middle of Tokyo with that price? 🗼
It's the location
@@rrsharizam so what?
It's not that expensive for a house in Tokyo. I live in the same area, but that's a pretty normal price around here. Apartments are pretty cheap tho.
this would be 3-4 million in vancouver
Alex, you need to be on TV mate. You're so much easier to listen to. To the point, informative and good views of the house.
PS I thought the "Black Ship" thing was funny lol
I've been told I have the face for radio
@@TokyoPortfolio 🤣🤣🤣 thats not nice but at least they see potential in you I guess.
Wow. $1.2m is so cheap! Seriously, coming out of a high cost of living city, $1.2m is “affordable”
Some constructive criticism since you're just starting out
(Hidden in the show more in case you'd rather not see this each time you check the comments)
A note before any of this, I'm sorry if any of it comes off as mean. I'm honestly just trying to give advice as someone who watches much too much RUclips XD
As you're walking in the door we're very low to the ground, at the height of the door handle which is a little off-putting.
Don't be afraid to leave the floor plan on the screen for longer/put them in a more prominent area, I barely noticed that they were coming up until midway through the video.
I liked the panning shots at 2:33 and the movement + wide angle after it. The shots before felt a little static + cramped, it was hard to get a feel for the space when you can only see a singular wall + you. Not seeing the floor was a little trippy as well as it's hard to gauge heights of things without it.
Some of the B roll felt a little shaky, the movements a little jittery.
Some of the shots angles were a little off, a little tilted which made me turn my head a little bit wondering what seemed wrong.
That's it, hope your channel blows up :D
Subscribed! Loving the idea behind this channel
The way Alex presents the house and all it has to offer really shows his skill and knowledge, very impressive!
Wow, you are dumb.
This guy could literally persuade me to buy a shed
repent , Jesus christ is coming back, get your life in order , Jesus christ is coming back .
You alone. He is a terrible sales agent. Just points out the obvious
Subscribed. I’ve watched you before from two different youtubers you were with before. Please do more tours.
There'll be more soon!
I would not buy this for $1M. Only one full bath, no oven, and no dryer?
The *stove top* had 3 burners. 🤣
Can you make enough money by working for the yakuza to afford one of these? Asking for a friend
I don't think the Japanese are very good at building houses for the price it's not very good pretty poor design.. compared to European and America you'll get nowhere near a million in fact you might not sell it
1.2 mil and yet the kitchen is still tiny? 😭 I'd sacrifice the dining/living area for a bigger kitchen
Even you go suburb of Tokyo, kichen size is abut same. You need to spend lots of meney to make custom house and kichen.
I need you to do all of your tours while holding the tiny dog.
One of the main things holding me back from moving to japan is the lack of houses with garages. I've dreamt of moving to Japan specifically for car culture and it's seemingly impossible to find a home catored around that. What about rural Japan?
There's plenty of houses with garages over here (I've seen 5 or 6 car garages in certain listings), they're just not as large as you might be used to and are much more expensive. Space is a luxury over here, so having your garage eat up space is not on the top of most people's minds. As for rural Japan, I would say it's definitely easier and cheaper to build a large garage there, so if you're looking to build a place with a large garage, it might be a good idea to go outside the city.
@@TokyoPortfolio
Agree, they are big on space. The more you want in the city, the more $$$ you will need to pay. I've noticed outside the city limits, go wild til your heart is content. I've been in Japan for 3 years and love it here. Want to plan on retiring here, in a large home outside the city limits, somewhat close to a train station. Japan is a beautiful country, and I love their housing designs, and furniture designs. All intended to save space.
I want a house with a garage too
Please don’t do livestreams. Technical quality crap. Vlog length too long.
that's good . in Singapore can't even buy a landand house like this . hdb only . soon I'll go to Japan and stay
Concrete... The wealth in Japan is being able to build again your house in each earthquake !
In Seoul, if you wanna live in a high end neighborhood it would be 1/3 of that size
maybe new jeans ? ......
You are going to blow up very soon keep it up man the production on these videos is just right to be amazing
I think you guys might want to lower the background music a little more, it's a little overpowering despite being a very nice track.
Pay so much for pre fabbed in factory 😂😂😂👎
Love the video, hate the short, repeating music.
I honestly prefer cheaper classic japanese appartement to that milion $ house... Guess I am weird haha
Garbage compared to American million dollar homes.

Is it true that in Japan property value will only devalue?
A 4 bedroom house with only one bathroom 👎🏾
I'm gonna say it.....Japanese modern architecture in Tokyo SUCKS 1. no windows at all 2. tiny everything 3. no rooftop patios 4. cheap flooring and hideous wall color/patterns. The ONLY amazing thing in homes are the toilets, bathtubs and ac technology.
Abroad in Japan introduced me to this concept
But I bet this channel is going to be great
Congrats
My wallet : Wait a minute who are you.
Me : "Bankrupt"
While I enjoy watching your house tours, your background music drowns you out, especilly when you turn your head away from the camera. Follow your script; if you say youare going to show me a bathroom, then show it to me, don't stand in front of it and talk about it.
EXACTLY!!
shitty house for 1.2 million dollars.
foot heating?? they're living in the future lol
Tell us more about yourself! I’m curious to know how you ended up in Japan and also, how you got started in real estate. Awesome property 😎
Pretty late reply lol but he was on a podcast and basically he was travelling with his father around the world when he was in highschool and when they get to japan he fell in love with the country and decided to study highschool here, he started living & working in southern japan and basically moved to Tokyo and started Real Estate with his friend.
This is like what Pewdiepie bought
Better value than what you get in Toronto
Dang, I enjoy watching these videos to daydream. On top of that $1.2 mil, you'd need another $50k capital for starting a business on top of it unless you find a Japanese spouse or job.
I use those kind of videos to daydream too! haha
And I thought Miami was expensive 😂
Still cheaper than houses in Vancouver .
Oh yes Alex, since I know you from broad's video, I was hoping you have a channel. I'm tired of big houses from LA and spain. Thanks!
A nice place. And thank goodness you started your own RUclips channel. Can you make a video of an apartment for sale? Not for rent.
Well that's a first. I knew i wasn't alone. But I don't like the house at all.
@@bluellamaslearnbeyondthele2456 it varies from person to person. Tbh it's far better than houses in other areas of Tokyo.
@@usamamalik420 you did notice we use the same name on youtube though?
@@bluellamaslearnbeyondthele2456 Why, yes. I did. Perhaps we're long lost brothers?
@@usamamalik420 well we both have beards. Both I'm afraid that's the only coincidence. I just never found anyone with this name before.
lol state of the art AC unit lol.
Japan is marvelous. I really want to visit someday.

I like the house and its architecture. The small studio at the bottom away from where you actually live, the bedroom layout, the nice bathroom and kitchen, the open layout and overall materials used like concrete, dark wood, long glass, and black painted metal. The one issue I have is with those sideway windows because when the moonlight comes in when you’re sleeping and I can be hard to put blings in.
That 's really ugly.
10gbps internet? That's insane. I'm in Australia, and can barely get 50mbps.
Lol
70% of the cost of that house comes from the land more than the house itself,
Besides of All the Fanny glasses (living room) the house is very random. ..
Feedback: tone down the background music/ bass..if the information being provided more important or the music?
The price is absurdly high. My boss bought a whole ryokan in Hakone for a bit more than 100.000.000 yen. Prices in Tokyo are out of control.
not much to say about the house . just one thing i need to say is japan probably need to reinvent or reorganize the light pole . the wire seem to hang here and there like a spider web .
it's charming though
It's a really nice design but I like really nice acoustics if I were spending that much lol. Way too echoey for me~
HARTATIK USBAN DIA 🧕
This looks like my first Apartment I rented out of highschool in california for under $1,000 a month 2 extra rooms but that's the only difference lol. crazy price for just 1.5 bath too.
It's like you build 3 stories above a two-car garage in the middle of Tokyo, and it becomes $1.2 million dollar house, where you have to go downstairs for bathroom from your "master" bedroom.
Well, no smell coming out from the toilet to the master bedroom is a plus. Just walk a bit or drink less water before you sleep.
Still cheaper than houses in Toronto.
yeah...a tub that re-heats water.. why don't we have this feature in our tubs? it sounds logical
Lol i wouldnt even live there for free
Yes, it's in USD. What kind of place would you like to live?
Sardine can
This place isn't zombie proofed enough :(
Very nice, but c’mon the 1.5 bathrooms no way, the laundry in kitchen...ewww.... everything else was nice. Starting to see these type of builds out in Guadalajara, Mexico...
Feels like im playing an og resident evil game with this camera work. No bueno chief.
Okay the Japanese definitely need to come here to the USA and re-invent our plumbing. I'd love to kick toilet paper to the curb. That re-heat the water thing with the bath tub, man that would have been nice in my current place. It was built around 1980 and has the HUGE jacuzzi tub, completely open to the bedroom. You know that era, everybody thought they were a porn star lol. Thing is the 50 gallon water heater is BARELY adequate to put warm water in this tub. I like to broil my brains out when I take a bath, so I boil hot water on the stove and dump it in there before I soak. It still gets too cold too quickly to my tastes.
"Radiant floor heating is to keep your feet warm." Typical American lmao.
I'm getting more and more depressed , If i watch more and more Houstours from Tokyo. So beautiful, but so damn unreacheble
$1.2million for that size is considered cheap compared to where I'm living in Singapore 😂
Urbanites are deranged. For 1/4th that cost I have more than double the house, proper bedrooms, an acre of land, peace and quiet. Ugh. You'd have to pay me to live in that house.
Gay!
For Californian are like 1.2 million with that quality! Our property looks like shit in 1.4 million
What music did you use? It sounds like Nujabes. But probably CC License from someone else
$1M for that house in Tokyo is pretty good price .
