It’s a very nice house. It would make a great holiday house.. Air B&B.. Sadly I’m too old to start a new business in Japan, but I like to dream.. Cheers🌸🌸🌸🐨
Love how you always say Ojamashimasu (I am going to disturb you) We have same tradition As-salamu 'Alaykum (peace be on you) whether there is anyone in the house or not. Lovely..
I have a question about those stairs. I don’t like those stairs. How do you move furniture into the house with stairs like that? Also if you have heavy grocery it will be very hard to walk stairs
It would be great if we also get to know about opening a bank account without a permanent residency in Japan and to what extent (of months/days) we can live in a house we buy in Japan if we don't work there and have no permanent residency or spouse visa etc? Hope you answer these as well in any of your video. Thanks 👍
I love your channel but I gotta ask. why don't you talk about these akiyas and how they may do regarding earthquakes? Isn't it true that houses built in japan from 1950 to 1990 were made super cheaply because they just needed houses? and that most of them won't withstand a earthquake of 6.5 or higher? I would love to see you do a video on this and the expense of retrofitting an akiya including costs. would be super helpful. thanks for the great vids.
It's because you don't want to buy old houses in Japan, unless they are reinforced (concrete or steel) which is pretty rare for old cheap houses in Japan. Eathquakes are a reality in Japan and you must consider it when buying an old house. As much as I love Shu san work and I enjoy waching his videos I think he should start talking about these themes, otherwise this videos will be only useful for entertainment
Respectfully, I don't think he's an expert on earthquake engineering. That said, he has many times mentioned in his videos that houses built before big earthquakes often do not meet the new standards for earthquake safety. I'm a new subscriber of about two weeks or so, and I've heard him mention this is multiple videos/shorts. I do agree that it would be helpful to discuss the specific years when earthquake upgrades went into effect. We have this to a lesser degree in California (where I live). Japan has the strongest and best practices when it comes to earthquake preparedness, mitigation, and safety. California has inferior safety and engineering standards, and they "claim" it's because we don't get earthquakes as big as those in Japan.
@@le_th_100% and I wouldnt even try to play that he is. It would be great though for someone like this to show those of us who are interested in an akiya the work that needs to go into retrofitting a house or if it's even worth it
This is the easiest property to resale I have ever seen so far and I would buy it if I have enough money to fix old plumbing or the roof just in case. Even if the house becomes its maturity, the prospective buyer would find the location good enough to built a new house. However, the laws and regulations might have been changed in the past 70 years and you wouldn’t be able to built a house of the same size as this one; another point to check before buying😊…. And one more point is that since Yokohama has lots of slopes, be aware that the municipal authority has released a map in public to show which areas could be weak for earthquakes and this influence the buyer’s decision.
Great Video. Is it difficult to open a bank account in Japan as a foreign investor if I'm not residing there? I don’t live in Japan and don’t know anyone there, and I understand that not having a physical address might make this challenging. I'm seriously considering buying property in Japan and have appreciated all your videos and help, which has only strengthened my interest in investing.
That bike should be called "tanuki jiijichari". 🤣 #joke Nice reno, but the height of the doors is kinda low, but for that price it's a steal. Back in "bubble keizai" (bubble economy) which is when I moved to Tokyo that house probably went for 3X the price. It would've nice to have a ballpark figure of how much it cost for the renovation. I used to work for a relocations company that isn't far away, but had a sales office in Gotanda that I used so only went to the Yokohama office 2, 3 times per month. Nice location!!!
I really enjoy watching your quality videos. It's a popular neighborhood in Yokohama. Only you are legally prohibited to rebuild a house when this 71 year old house will be no longer livable. It costs money to demolish the house at the time. Whom you would sell to this lant in the future? Have the water, gas, and drain pipes of the house being replaced with new ones?
A question that I hope you will answer: It's not rebuildable. How much would the land price alone be for 34 tsubo on that non-rebuilable lot? The renovations I'm seeing are basic value. The kitchen and bath seem to be pretty much economy versions. I'm sure the flooring is also on the lower end side. I understand because its a 70 year old house that will probably time out rather than face another big renovation. I live in Kagoshima and know what my new home cost to build after purchasing land. I teach real estate agents who also know renovation and local values. I'm wondering what math went into ¥26 million for a 70 year old newly renovated home on 34 tsubo of non-refundable land in that area. Hence... how much was the land? I like the idea that Ito san has. Buy, renovate, and sell. You should look into a series of hiraya as well. The retired fireman REALLY disliked steep stairs. Hiraya may be a bit further from the action but I think many would appreciate their ease of mobility.
hi shu matsuo san we are pilipino partner me and my wife, always travel in japan 2x a year i've seen your vlog and we are interested to invest to akiya can you give us advice for a good investment of property in japan since we are frequent visitor of japan and by the way i was once a kenshusei of japan way back 2001 to 2004 and me and my wife are holder of multiple entry visa of japan.
It’s a very nice house. It would make a great holiday house.. Air B&B..
Sadly I’m too old to start a new business in Japan, but I like to dream..

You can do it!
@@shumatsuopost Hahaha..
Thank you so much. I from Canada
Love how you always say Ojamashimasu (I am going to disturb you) We have same tradition As-salamu 'Alaykum (peace be on you) whether there is anyone in the house or not. Lovely..
love the subtitle in Japanese - hope your company will grow in different services
Appreciate it!
I like Yokohama. I walked the whole city a couple of times. Beautiful place. Especially the port area …
Totally agree!
I wish to visit you one day sir. when I visit japan
Thanks for watching!
I love your channel and videos and when we are ready to buy a house we are coming to you and prolly that agent
That would be cool! Can't wait!
Hi @shumatsuopost , so non-rebuildable means the local government won’t allow you to demolish and rebuild?
You should try an electric unicycle. They're quite affordable these days, and it's the most efficient way to get around.
Until you hit a rock😂
Love your channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
Nice but the walk up all hose steps would not work for older people.
Im going to study for N1 (currently only ~N3 level) and then go back to Japan. I'd love to live there.
Interesting !
Glad you think so!
there was a other house with same size or "layout" few days ago
Someday maybe I and my wife would be able to afford one of these homes. "Dreaming and at the same time saving!"
I have a question about those stairs. I don’t like those stairs. How do you move furniture into the house with stairs like that? Also if you have heavy grocery it will be very hard to walk stairs

True
Yes
so being that this house is non rebuildable what are the options for the owner if the house is heavily damaged from an earthquake?
Let's have coffee some day, but after this typhoon.

Missed the perfect opportunity to say/sing ..... "Will you be ... My neighbor " in a "Mr Rogers neighborhood" kinda way lol
I should look it up myself, but does anyone know the standard height of these homes' doorways and ceilings?
do they have earthquake and typhoon disclosure statement when they buy?
Lovely place, but with heavy luggage or even shopping bags on a daily basis will be a struggle.
How much did it sell for before the the renovation?. No one ever wants to tell 😅
just divide by 3

Bro! I'm looking for a place in yokohama! If you have an agent, shoot me some info please... I need a 3LDK w/ parking and a small yard.
Tooooo expensive but, it’s nice.
Is there a way to get there by car?
id say no car park of course.
How much rent???
The reason these houses are so cheap is because the cost of rebuilding and trash removal is so high😂
Wow $25k. I’m wondering about rent amount for that property?
$170k, read buddy
Hello, this house is leaning from the front.
So if that house were rebuildable, it would be 900,000. That makes Japan sound very expensive. It's just the crappy houses that are cheap.
hi shu matsuo san we are pilipino partner me and my wife, always travel in japan 2x a year i've seen your vlog and we are interested to invest to akiya can you give us advice for a good investment of property in japan since we are frequent visitor of japan and by the way i was once a kenshusei of japan way back 2001 to 2004 and me and my wife are holder of multiple entry visa of japan.
the quick cuts and editing, especially in the beginning of your videos are flipping annoying and dizzying.
I’m pretty sure John Wick had a fight on those steps
