Idealization is never a good thing. 1- Where have you seen any sign of « respect for nature » in any town in japan ? 😂 Most people are cramped in coffin-size apartments, and there is tar and concrete everywhere. I left Paris for the same reason : the wild plants are struggling to find a bit of light thanks to a tiny break in the tar... and they do not know, but they will be cut off quickly. Only plants in pots are accepted -except in the nurtured gardens, off course. 2- By « light foot print » do you mean eco-friendly, « respect of nature » ? Because again, look at Japan at night from space : lights almost everywhere ! And all this technology (video games, computers, phones, etc.) is absolutely NOT light foot print. Again, I will use a French example -my country being the one I know best : it is a shame, an absolute SHAME that stores have the right to keep their lights on during the night, when they are closed. They should not have the right to pay these bills : they should just switch the light off -for the sake of the Planet. Lights in the streets were placed for security reason only. Nowadays, it is a way to do window shopping, even when they are closed, pushing people to buy, playing with their weaknesses, and then making them pay the hard way if they got too much into this vicious game. Japan is not better than France, or the USA, or Australia, the UK or Canada, or South Korea, or Sweden, Denmark , Norway... the list is long. I am actually longing to live in a place that is « a culture of tradition, appreciation, respect of nature and a light footprint ». I am still looking ... 🧡✨
Yet their pop culture if full of silly, fun-loving things, just look at anime and their game shows. I love that they are all the things you mentioned, but still allow themselves to be silly.
There's a type of reverence anyone can feel. This is awe inspiring and much respect for these people and their lifestyle. I draw a peace from what i see and get much hope for tomorrow's children.
The Machiya are ideal for hot wet climates. Courtyards are known to trap cooler air so this is one important reason why the Machiya are so perfect for Japan. Some modern architects in Australia build courtyard houses along similar lines and they really work well there too.

They are. You are not just aware of it... And « simplicity » does not mean « cheap », or even affordable. It is actually very expensive -the very reason why even Japanese people cannot own such beautiful houses !
I like the innovative ideas of floating homes, its practical and function, the views must be stunning during sunset) sunrise. The Japanese home is more for inspiration. Next? Hoping to see the cute Tully houses in the Puglia region in Italy. It also appeared in ancient times near the Turkish/ Syria borders
The pronunciation of Machiya isn’t Ma Shee Ya. Chi is like “Chee”se. The female narrator is correct. I posted videos of Kyoto , too in my channel. Kyoto wasn’t bombed so much during the World War II, therefore, we still see some traditional architectures however, it’s very much changing because of the tourism. Some were turned into modern hotels. I try to film Japanese cultures to introduce to the world. Thank you for sharing your video, too.
Its bhuddist design all of the culture was bhuddist art n architecture. The emptiness is essential because of the view. They r very accomplished the gardens r ❤
I would love to visit Japan . We are doing our family room and my bedroom in a Modern , vintage - Japanese style with Minalmaism , using wood furniture and beautiful Japanese lacquer furniture with birds and flowers and beautiful Japanese scenes !! And A beautiful Asian brass coffee table form the 60’s . One from the 40’s as well .
but it woud be hard to maintain it as far as everyday needs in lets just say the US. I wishI had room to build tea house and have a nonstop running foundatin with river off solar batteries @@المهديشقيقرسولالله
The host was a French man who spoke French. if possible the film can listen to the French narration directly from him. The English was recorded (added in) later. Will they be more clear and precise?🤔🤗 Since he is French~wonders how French live in the beautiful fairland living structure. Can be an interesting story as well! 😉

'GMSL reconstructions based on tide gauge observations show a rise of 21cm from 1900 to 2020 at an average rate of 1.7 mm/year.' European Environment Agency. Even if the rate tripled, it would mean a rise of barely 2 feet in the next 120 years. Since Climate Alarmists, er I mean 'Scientists' cannot pinpoint where the Earth currently is in the cycle between maximum ('Ice-Age' and minimum glaciation, it means 2 things.1. There is no way to prove humanity-emissions of 'greenhouse gases' are causing climate change, it could be adhering to the point the point in the cycle. and 2.The massive now-widespread propaganda push to convince the human race they are evil carbon emitters is the biggest scam in human history. Ironic that advanced carbon-based life forms can be so gullibly, vapidly inane.
@@ranjittyagi9354Are you saying they can't take the time as a professional documentary film production company to find out how to properly pronounce the thing that is the main subject of the film or that French people can't pronounce the ch sound or that they shouldn't have to even bother getting it right and trying to pronounce it or are you saying the OP is wrong (they're not, BTW)?

Hello to the one reading this. I just want to tell you that out there is Someone who knows you more than yourself and is Someone who loves you unconditionally. He looks out for you. GOD is a Father who loves without limit because He is eternally good. He loves you. JESUS also loves you. He is King but He is a friend you can talk to. 🙂 *Sending You love-I love you with the love of the Lord JESUS. Have a nice day. For GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
As much as I love these documentaries, there's something off with Philippe's 'acting-listening'. He has this Stanley Tucci condescending look, which of course isn't his fault. He's supposed to act as if he understands the language, but I wish his director didn't show his amused, clueless smile... it looks a bit insulting. Yes they're having a translated, delayed conversation that's edited and he's supposed to smile and be nice, but his act is terrible, haha. Better a serious nodding face, same face when talking. That's my only critique, everything else is perfect.
12:13 I am fascinated by the fact that the Japanese culture requests the « Ma » for the plants and for most of their arts... but NOT for the humans ! 😮

Heaven in earth. Incredible, awesome lifestyle of the Japanese n their sense of beauty.
I grew up in Japan I love the people and miss it very much ❤❤❤

japanese people are most humble yet strict, disciplined, nature loving, loyal, hard working, caring, sensitive. so much inspired from them.
But im Yakuza 😢😅
Yakuza all in Hawaii
@@gregpendrey6711 did i question you 🤣🤣
I wouldnt say strict but very culcture disciplined.
Yet their pop culture if full of silly, fun-loving things, just look at anime and their game shows. I love that they are all the things you mentioned, but still allow themselves to be silly.

Kyoto is such a beautiful gem of a city. 💎
6:01 It's designed so the guest has the best possible view of the room... KABOOOOMMM!!!
The old Japanese traditions are so amazing. I hope they keep them. They are so much in balance us in the western world have no clue.

Love Japan and Japanese:
* Simple but not simplistic
* Elegant but not distanced
* Formal but not discordant
* Observant but not indifferent...
its actually my dream to be living in such traditional house, I cant wait to move to japan
So precious!!
Visited Kyoto. It’s lovely and welcoming.
I really like Japanese traditional house ♥
Next time I visit Kyoto, I'll try to find an inn built with Machiya style ;-)
How beautifully thoughtful
I'm so glad the youtube algorithm saw fit to show this video on my feed. Delightful!
These Japanese houses are very beautiful in my opinion, the engawa and the garden is one thing i hope i can have in my future house.
Always visiting Kyoto during my work holidays. It’s just near where I live

Thanks for saving my time! lovely time stamps! Tammy AI where you get it?

There should be someone who is inspired by these homes to bring this simplicity of style to America these homes are simply beautiful

It is actually very expensive -the very reason why even Japanese people cannot own such beautiful houses !
lovely show and lovely host
They are very artistic and detailed 🎉🎉❤❤
🫂✊💋😍 Japanese culture , their architecture, tradition 💋😍✊
🙏😝😇
Japan & Netherlands... Thats awesomely different cultures and costumes.
You mean Amsterdam? Red light district, cafes and coffee shops that sell pot and mushrooms.
I like the innovative ideas of floating homes, its practical and function, the views must be stunning during sunset) sunrise. The Japanese home is more for inspiration.

What types of wood are used in these homes?
When was this filmed?
💖💖💖
the music in the kyoto one sounds very familiar I'm sure its from a game
HUUUM!! WELL! NO RISK NO GAIN!! JUST THE SAME WARMED OVER!!
💛
❤😊
Japanese are highly evolved people.
When you're french but the french voice is covered by an english translation xo
Well, subtitles weren't invented when the houses were built but inappropriate voiceovers were.
@@jaysterling26 You felt you HAD to answer, right ? So did I 😂
Mama working on this wood lol
I might just be me, but it sounds like the narrator is saying "muh SHEE uh". It's actually "ma chee yah".
Sadly, many Americans believe new things are always better than old ones.
3:28 the kid 😂
😂
👍👍👍👍👍
for my hana
Love this Architecture and the Japanese approach. But, there are way Too many commercials. I won’t be back to your channel.

Wait. Let us watch Kyoto in comfort.

Waaaay too many adverts.
Destroys the flow of the stories.

Japanese has a lot influence from Chinese in many aspects but transformed to Japanese culture.
The video was very nice the only thing that bothered me a little while watching was the guy pronouncing machiya as mashiya !
The correct pronunciation is Ma-Che-Ya not Ma-Shi-A for the houses
Why is this about Holland and not Japan?
only one problem is that it is twice as expensive as a normal house
2:55 Why are they trying to headbutt each other?
its pronounced mah-CHEE-ya not mah-SHEE-ya
Why does Philippe Simay sound American??
It's the narrator.
@@darcyperkins7041 It would have been more enjoyable to hear the ACTUAL narrator.
