At last! A long overdue video of my machiya home after renovation. The renovation completed in Apr of 2022 and me and my family have already lived in this new machiya home for over a year now. Sadly this video is also a closure of the renovation project of my home in Kyoto, but as you may have already saw in my previous video: there will be more machiya renovation projects! (not in Kyoto though)
0:00 Intro, entrance, and Tatami room
7:24 Hall, toilet
9:22 My house before & during renovation
10:00 Living and dining room
16:08 Bathroom and garden
18:50 Stairway and heading to the 2nd floor
21:40 Second floor hall and rooms
26:42 Bedroom (originally Tatami room)
28:38 Afterthoughts and BIG thank you!

Splendid job! I didn't realize we hat a massive undertaking the renovation would be. The 2nd floor works much better! The open downstairs living space looks so inviting!

Outstanding work! I miss Kyoto dearly and would love to find a place to buy near my old apartment around Higashino station in Yamashina prefecture. For now, I call Tampa, FL my home.

I'm surprised that (since you demolished the inside almost entirely and added a new foundation and roof) that you didn't add modern insulation to help keep the house warmer in the winter.

@GoodOldHousesJapan Жыл бұрын

Insulation boards were added under the roof, behind walls and under flooring! The standard package for old house renovation in Japan these days.

It`s nice and I love the sunroof in the living room. It`s good to see the old house renovated and incorporate modern technology. If you don`t mind, how much did it cost to renovate the house?

@GoodOldHousesJapan 7 ай бұрын

Yes thank you! That little sunroof keeps the room bright and warm :) One of the best decision we made for the renovation (at least for now until it leaks...). The entire renovation was about 22mil yen 2 years ago. I have a video just talking the cost if you are interested.
