So beautiful and peaceful!!!!

These old, traditional homes are works of art! I find it ironic that Japan today, people would say a small 1LDK is "spacious", however the traditional homes were SPACIOUS! There were specialty rooms for everything! Your special "writing room", "tea room", Bon room, etc. Sometimes I question our idea of evolution.

What a gorgeous, serene place. So peaceful. Makes you wonder how they ever got anything done!

Thank you

@vidaripollen Will do. I have a back log of videos to post but as soon as I am done I will do more architecture ones. I am going to Gunma in a few weeks to one of Japans most famous hot spring resorts. Bound to be lots of great houses. I will get some footage for you. Glad you enjoyed it.

You have a very soothing presence that is well suited for travel documentaries. Your commentary manages to walk that fine line of informative but, simultaneously, slightly humorous: in short, the quintessential British host. I loved the way that you could hear your footsteps and the wind and a dog barking in the background. This whole video felt like a postcard from Japan. I would love to see you try a video on a busy street or marketplace. Good luck on any future endeavours!!!:)

Wow, everything looks so simple yet so complicated at the same time. I can't figure out the complete shape of the house. I wonder if the designer did it at once or the home owner built it partially piece by piece. All my dream to have such like a hand crafted japanese home.

how would hey heat the house in 1939 and how would they do it today ?

I enjoyed that, thank you! The house looks very old but quite solid. I love how lush it is outside! Domo arigato!

So breathtakingly beautiful and serene.... hm, wish, I were there...like now...

Absolutely Beautiful, yet peaceful I wish I could live somewhere like this in the future.

Thank you.

@serenevil What a very, very lovely and greatly appreciated comment. In fact I have posted over 500 video and this is the best comment I have ever received.

that's so unfair! i want to live in a house like this :( *sniffs*

Very nice house. Kirai, ne! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. (Pan a little slower next time, so we can learn how a house like that is put together!)

@vidaripollen Yes you are quite right. I had just got the camera and was trying to get the entire tour in HD on a small sd card. I will go back and do a better video soon.

Can't anybody just rob their house when the walls are paper????? They can you break through very easily or slide it open

Man!!!if I lived there,,I'd be home now!!!

@TheAerialplatypus Funny enough this is in Shinjuku-ku!

Beautiful,

THANKS FOR POST THIS VERY NICE ONE...IT IS WONDERFUL...!!!

Thx 4 u video. i like Japanese Traditional House n Garden with stone lentern n shishi odoshi. oh ya...the house not in city? bcs i think...i hear birds sound.

@GimmeKitty Yes, She was a successful author and her husband was a painter. Quite well off I think.

I'm sorry to say the cameraman needs to read the "How to make videos" and try this again.

Why are there pots next to the tables?

The first thought that passes the mind after seeing is:Worshing the Space.

Me gustaria que recorriera el sendero del jardin mas despacio para verlo mejor.

Do you remember where this house is from?

@GimmeKitty No they do not. Least of all in Tokyo. I could rent a place twice the size and half the price of my current home if I was not in the centre of Tokyo. The whole rent system is pretty weird. It basically takes five or six months rent just to get into a new place with two months rent being a gift ( key money ) to your landlord ; (

I wanna live there, I just do.

@serenevil Going to Kyoto this weekend and shall video the whole thing! : )

I read She Fumiko Hayashi died at early age less than 50yo....heart prob.. Inspiring woman ...

I love the indoor colours at 1:31 and I like to paint my home the same colour can someone identify this colour for me please?

@murasakiryu any way its still nice.pl continue.make a series on nice earthquake proof houses!

Too much hand shaking and swinging the camera back-and-forth too rapidly. Everything is a blur. It is a pity because the house and garden are special.

So in 1939 there still wasnt running water ...I didn't see a bathroom to speak of just the bathing area ..Did you see a toilet or running water for that matter ?

i loved the video and i was like "thats so pretty!!---wait....BAMBOO IS A GRASS?!?!??!!I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS A PLANT!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Never been to the more rural parts of Japan. What area is this in?

Humiko Hayashi Memorial House in Sinjyuku?

@FruitBattheGirl It is my dream to live in a ryokan! Good luck! I will add a response to this video that you might enjoy. Ganbatte!

The guy who narrates sounds exactly like Tom Hardy! :)
