Thanks again Chris, and be sure to watch our tour of Tokyo's most exclusive members-only hotel: th-cam.com/video/24RSjPdcT8E/w-d-xo.html
You are an amazing presenter!
I personally would like it more as a vacation home than as a full time residence. Unfortunately it will probably be occupied by Chris when he is writing his erotic thriller starring Connor 😜
Probably part time residence, escape from the city spot, great video!
i would like to live in Hakone, it's already got the pirate ship so i'm halfway already there to making 'Goonies' back from the 80's a reality, nice sleepy town + pirate ship, that's Goonies part 2 in the making (i'll be bringing my betamax and rewinder when i get to hakone)
Enjoyed this you and Chris seem to becoming good friends look forward to more
Good to see Chris’s luck with seeing Mt. Fuji is still the same.
Everything good in the universe
one for five thousand
I wonder if Chris has spent more money in trying to see Mt Fuji vs a rough estimate of Garnt's gacha expenses.
Even when climbing it he can barely see it!
As always it was a lot of fun shooting with you guys!
Next up we should go see if there's a house in that smouldering crater!
May I ask does abroad in japan Chrise have a friend rank lol if he doesn't get a good favor from a friend he will demote them through the ranks hahahah
that was an insane video search more tree houses they are fire content
@@khayam1269 Only the "top tier" friends get to spend time in a hot tub with Mr. Affable ❣
@@HeavenlyCreature. lol yes
Truly Affable treehouse
Checked out the Airbnb and went all the way to December 2024, couldn't find a single vacant day!
Nice work to the team for publicising this one, looks amazing 👌
its fullly booked all the way to May 2025 (couldn't physically check any further than that!!) 😆
I went as far as 2035 😵💫😵💫😵💫 and nothing...
@@plantsdaft I'm from the future and I can tell you it's still booked in 3041.
Ranguna There's no point in even holding your breath. It seems to have everything booked 5 to 10 years in advance.
I'd assume they've just not made dates available too far forward - see what the interest is, then release dates gradually with slowly increasing prices.
Chris Broad sure does get around, he's like the village bike of TH-camrs
Umm...
7:56
I thought he was affable, not easy!
He's so famous that hiring him guaruntees success for anyone's endeavour... This video is an example.
@@BeckyAngelix yep, 150k views in 6 days.
I came for a year…23 years later, I’m still here! I want a tree house like this in my garden!
I didn't expect the Tree House to be much better until you show that small rooftop space. Simply amazing. Thank you for showing this to us
They need to make a whole village with these. Like that town in one of the Pokémon games.
I fell in love with Hakone because of Yowamushi Pedal...and love that it lives up to the hype!
First place I'm going to when the country opens up more!
Kantan you did an AMAZING job filming, and I love the interactions of Chris and Alex that you captured. Top tier mate, well done!
Same here! KazeTsuyo also made me wanna see Hakone Ekiden.
Alex is always showing the greatest places tbh.
My poor me feels envious 😄
Nice work and nice channel 👍
Always good to see Chris of course.
Hey Alex! I am a high schooler and I am into real estate! I am curious about your journey from the states to working in real estate in Japan. I love your videos and they are inspiring!
Alex came on the Abroad in Japan podcast once and talked a bit about his past. It was a cool interview, go listen to it if you haven't already!
@@inspiteofshame which interview was it?
Chris is getting lots of practice giving reactions to things. Alex always knows the coolest spots! Thanks for sharing :)
Japan is a beautiful country. Chris & Alex have done so well in showing what Japan has to offer outside of Tokyo. It shows a civilization that embraces technology but is still tied to their ancestral architecture & culture. Great video, gents!
Never watched a video where the word ‘verticality’ was featured even once, let alone the number of times Chris used it in this one! My new favourite word!
Love this! It’s so cool you show properties in Japan that we haven’t all seen on TH-cam so many times before
Best property review team on TH-cam
I sense a future Wacky Weekend in the works... 😆I would love to see a Chris and Conner's treehouse adventure!
I'm slightly disappointed you cut out how Chris actually got through the window onto the roof. I think this would have been hilarious to watch :)
th-cam.com/video/-4ztcBC6G2g/w-d-xo.html @4:10
Chris should be a permanent co-host!
This channel is super promising. Seeing cool properties is really fun and I haven't watched a lot of it from Japan. Love seeing Chris collab
I think the "sustainable" part is more to attract customers, most of the house is made of normal industrial material. Still a very nice treehouse, would love to have one in my garden
100% agree. Chris hinted at that with his "sustainable refrigerator" remark.
It reminds me of a video I watched a week or two ago about a high end resort in the Maldives. Think tropical islands with houses and walkways on posts over the water. The houses were "sustainable" and made of "natural materials", so no plastic or metal except for all of the plastic and metal in plain sight. Each was equipped with a "sustainable" swimming pool, filled with desalinated water at great expense and environmental cost. The only way to reach it was by "sustainable" jet to Male Island international airport, and then taking a "sustainable" seaplane trip to the island itself. I'm sure all of the abundant fresh fruits and ingredients for gourmet dining were "sustainably" flown in as well.
Greenwashing at its finest, but at $5000 a night I'd expect no less.
Yea, no way theu used only to three for that, they dont understand how plank are made, you need huge trees and some of them are not gonna be good to use
Its so fun that as soon as Chris isnt the one making the video he lets loose a lil more and goes full creature mode. Lovely,
The screen pause at 3:37 is priceless
Just love your last 2 videos together. Whenever Japan opens up, I now can find options with your guys advice.
when I get bored in my stupid 9 to 5 job, I love to go through your videos. You and Chris have an awesome chemistry together, if you get one day Natsuki on board too you would break the internet xD
what a lovely couple, beautiful property
This is so cool having been to Japan twice for weeks at a time, it’s videos of places like this that speak volumes of the sheer number of things to still see in such a gorgeous country! Great job with your video, and your patience with Chris when he was being a difficult at times (at least it seems).
10 years of hell: living the youtube dream
is the most accurate thing I have ever seen
I would live there in a hot second. Love Chris Broad he is just the best.
5:15 Chris making a Homestar reference is just precious 😂
Saw no comments on this but you really upped your Video Quality. A banger, i loved the details and everything, keep it up!
Awesome sharing, great content the amazing super cool Inside Japan’s Most Expensive Treehouse: Million Dollar Hideaway, like it. Good luck my friend. New friend.
"pretend you're having fun" hahaha!!🤣
Great to see you both in another video
🥳
I wouldn't have discovered Alex if not for Chris. Lovely content !!
Such an amazing place! I am truly envious of the opportunity you had to visit this place and explore all of it's nooks and crannies.
Thank you for sharing!
I initially thought “omg spider house”… but after watching the tour maybe it wouldn’t get so many creepy crawlies in there. 🤔 Seems well sealed from the elements! Looks beautiful actually! Looking forward to Chris’ erotic thriller book “10 Years of Hell” 😂 Great video Alex! I subscribed immediately!
if there's one thing I have to say, "sustainable" doesn't mean "made using locally sourced random things", it means "material that has low impact on the environment. The choice to use rocks and branches from the forest nearby is entirely aesthetic, and isn't about being rinkey dink either. looking at the bathroom should be obvious, sustainable doesn't mean rustic and poor, as long as the materials are going to remain in the home for a century or two, and ideally would have an alternative than ending up in a landfill, it can fit in sustainable. Unsustainable shouldn't be a brand like how organic is just a buzzword, it should be a requirement, or a standard to meet. this house just seems to be proof of concept that sustainable can also be luxurious, that environmental can be both good for the environment AND no compromise comfort. if more people associated sustainable with just "not being wasteful", that would be a success.
The reality is, the more confort and luxury you want the less unsustainable it's going to be. You have to compromise comfort for enveironment. Yes we can increase the efficency to make more luxury with less waste, but the more luxury you want the more the waste is going to increase. The rate at which it increases can be changed with tecnhology and better use of resources, but it will always increase.
Chris is a giant kid in a surprisingly large tiny house! Great job keeping up with him, Alex. 🤣 "Well don't break it!" Love how excited you guys are. Keep up the awesome content!
I've been wanting to see this video for a while now, it looks extremely neat
good luck Alex! nice video again with Chris
its like chris actually writes a book there, " he bent the ladder going up and down writing his book... literally he only went up once and down once and the ladder was bent beyond repair..."
You get my subscription for putting up with Chris😆Great content
What a marvellous property and just love the concept behind it of minimal impact/waste and harmony with the woodland surroundings.
Chris is a national treasure and we need to protect him from nic cage stealing him
I love how you started and edited the video in a type of Chris style video. love the content
Not gonna lie the lack of rails on the roof made me shiver. Not afraid of heights, just clumsy.
Woah that's so cozy 👀🍄🍄
You made one of my small dreams come true, thank you! ❤
I love treehouses so much, so what could be better than a beautiful treehouse
in the middle of the japanese forest with this stunning landscape presented by You and Chris!?
i can't think of anything... except maybe MORE treehouses presented by you 😂
Great video! The editing was really well done, your videos keep getting better and better :)
I can see more confidence in the overall new videos of Tokyo Portfolio
Such a cool place, I have fond memories of the treehouse my Dad built me when I was a kid, and this brings back memories of that one.
as someone who lives in a state that is called "people that still live on trees" , this design is very inspirational
When you hear about authors or screen writers and such going up in the mountains in a small cabin to write their scripts or base work for their next big novel, this is exactly the sort of place I picture in my mind. A sort of place where you can just remove yourself from everyday stress or responsibilities and just focus on flexing your creative muscles. What a great cabin, absolutely love it!
Such an affable guest. This place is amazing!
Well done! The two of you make a good team when it comes to presenting awesome architecture and culture to foreigners lol could have waited on the erotic novel commentary! The abroad in a pan cookbook would be saucy enough.
Always nice to see Chris with Sheldon
Aaaah. How nostalgic, I´ve been to Hakone in 2019 and actually rode the Pirate Ship. I also had an amazin view of Mt. Fuji. A very beautiful place.
I like these kind of videos where you get to chat with the owner or the builder and take Chris abroad an architectural class.
Chris should let you arrange accomondation for the next journey across Japan
Between this video and the beautiful luxury apartment last time I'm in utter and complete awe
Been a fan of Abroad in Japan. Didn't know you had your own channel featuring content I like
Thank you for sharing Alex! 😊
That tree house is so cool!!
Chris and not seeing Mt. Fuji. Name a more iconic duo.
And you can watch the Ekiden! It’s like a Moomin house. So pretty.
A shockingly affable house tour!
This would be a really nice place to stay for a few days during a vacation!
beautiful video.
good luck with the company and everything, looking forward to watch more!
I built a treehouse when I was 10 yo. I used 2x4s for the flooring and inch thick planks for walls. I used steel nails to build the house supported by four tall pines growing close to each other.
In less than a month, I experienced wall planks falling off for no reason. Then one corner of flooring collapsed.
All those four pines swayed in the wind at their own pace and simply fatigued the nails I had used for construction into a catastrophic failure. Metal fatigue by living trees swaying in the wind.
Should have used ropes :)
You're such a wonderful presenter, and what an amazing property! So lovely, I hope I may have a chance to visit there some day. The way you and Chris play off of one another is fantastic and fun xD Keep up the great work!
chris is such a good friend
I love all of the thoughtful details that the architect incorporated. It reminds me a bit of Gaudi's buildings.
Subscribed, came over from Chris's channel
Interesting to see Alex saying "Is that right?" (at 0:38) and otherwise employing "aizuchi" while Chris is speaking. I wonder if that's something he's adopted even while speaking english, if he's using it often in a professional setting in Japan.
Very nice!!! Thanks for taking us along!! We are moving to Tokyo in October and wish I had enough money to afford any of these places!!! Thanks again!
Loved that little clip at the end.
The treehouse looks like the perfect place to write.
Keep bringing the Most Affable Man on here and I'll keep watching your vids!
I've been on that pirate ship, holy crap, what a throwback that was for me.
This one is my favorite property so far!
Subscribed! Thanks for this wonderful getaway video Alex.
Wow Alex you and Chris are living the dream there. Jealous what a beautiful tree house.
Hakone is so beautiful. Can't wait to go back
Would recommend Hoshino resorts to everyone! The KAI Hakone and KAI sengokuhara are amazing
The background music is fire.
I got to ride the Pirate ship and play Golf on the side of Mount Fuji... great memories
Just checked out of curiosity
it's booked right through to May 2025, which is as far as AirBnB goes
That's amazing
"a bin as you would call it .. a trash can for the rest of us" LOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!! so great
Normal people: Hakone is a realy good place. There is a beautiful landscape, pleasant nature, and a pirate ship
Me: Hakone is a realy good place. There is hakone turn pike, and tsukuba line.
Nice tree house and the kid inside me wants it.
Chris the guest of every english speaking channel about Japan.
Wherever you go with Chris in Japan, you can always hear him saying "I was actuallly here like zero to ten years ago"
I love this and your other channel Alex. Keep making videos. 😀
Oh I rode first class on that pirate ship about 14 years ago, unforgettable experience ; )
best tree house toilet I've seen in that very niche category
It's a Mary Poppins bag disguised as a house LOL!!! FAB treehouse, wish I had so much money I would buy it in a second!! Lots of love from Pinkie
Beautifully produced video
Always looking forward for new uploads
Love your content btw!
You two work well together, I always enjoyed when Alex was in Abrouds videos and this other way around works as well. Hope to see you make some more content together, good vibes!
Having been to both the smoldering crater and on the pirate ship on my first trip to Japan, they are indeed very cool.
That was fun video and Tokyo Portfolio is quite cool
