  • A viewer who watched my videos ended up buying a Kyo-machiya very close to Kamogawa river! The renovation started in August and will soon be completed. This video shows some of the progress of the renovation and how the Kyo-machiya changed over the course of 1~2 month from Oct, 2022 to Nov, 2022. Stay tuned for the video after completion!

    Awesome progress. That garden/bathroom is going to be stunning.

    Steven, I agree with you that the wooden ceiling should not be painted. Wood has such a nice natural feeling about it. I am curious about why the hibukuro wasn't finished to look nice and clean?

    Great you were able to show this renovation in progress. Is the owner moving into the space or do Japanese also renovate and flip homes? The Japanese crew seems like a dream compared to how some renovation crews work here in the US. We renovated two adjoining buildings down to the studs and half the time I felt like a contractor's babysitter. (And I had a vague bit of PTSD watching the owner have to make all those decisions😂). Just yesterday we met with a father / son contractor team for some initial work on a commercial space (from the 1920s that was originally a bowling alley, then a boxing club, then a woodworkers workshop and finally an event space before we transition it to a photo studio) and we think we found some who might be closer to the careful craftsman you feature here.

    Nice to see it getting renovated. I am curious to know how much renovations of this type cost in Japan?

    I heard the roof had to be retained for the structure code in the previous video, but what changes do they require earthquake proofing & the stairs prior to permissible living?
    In America, they have inspectors sign off per inspection before advancing in renovations.

    Why isn't the Hibukuro walls being changed? they look burned and ready to crumble down!!
    if i would buy that house and see that i would not buy the house anymore for i would feel cheated ,they do not deliver 100% job done ?
