focke wulf Yes I agree. Personally I think it's because they have alot of pride and passion in what they. When I create something I know I have so much that it transfers in that item. You can't help but leave a piece of your soul.
I have been noticing that the tiny houses have slowly been getting bigger and bigger less tiny. This house here is totally recapturing the spirit of a true tiny home 💕
I think the spirit of a tiny house is really dependent upon the man or woman who is building it. Tiny homes became of Interest to live in a different way. Some are choosing not have any mortgage so they build based on their budget, some are choosing to get rid of excess or downsize so they might build it smaller or not, some are looking to travel with a family and need to have a smaller space to have a budget to be able to do so, and others are choosing a lifestyle of a nomad to work on the road and want to have whatever they want with them. I think the spirit of a tiny house is determined by the one choosing to create a life for himself that works. Each man or woman choosing to live in a different way has their priorities and desires which will bring a different spirit 2 each home. For me, It is not important that we follow our spirit and not a preconceived idea of the spirit of a tiny house. As long as we do what we find is best for us in our lives we cannot go wrong. tiny houses became a popular thing because so many of us Did not have any answers and were living every moment just to have a place to sleep. Most of us have no time to enjoy or relax or learn or develop great relationships. it is still difficult for most to be able to create a tiny house because they are very expensive still. Having lost everything when my daughter and I were rear-ended in a hit-and-run twice by a large commercial truck, I am just looking for ways to create a tiny house. I have designed a tiny home because I was in a collision and lost everything. I'm only doing it because I do not have the funds to purchase a nice size house again. I love space. I create better in big Open Spaces where I can write and think and contemplate. my house was about 3,500 square feet and did not feel too big for me. I had friends stay with me often who were visiting town for conventions or just to visit. I also took in 15 complete strangers and gave them everything they needed to be able to get back on their feet again who I had for a year to three years each . I usually had one two three at a time only . Let us remember that we should not b making our lives based upon what we think the spirit of a tiny house is, especially when it does not suit us. my design has everything the regular size and I don't have anything in my plans 4 entertaining because I will have a large deck and outside living area with barbecue for having friends over. and hopefully a fire pit and a gazebo in the flower garden and a veggie garden and fruit trees Etc built up around the home. Blessings to everyone. And remember to build your tiny house with a spirit that you want as big or as small as you choose because there is no one who can say that it is not a tiny house for you. It is possible to find TH-cam videos about the importance that space has in all our lives. One video I saw a few years ago said that those with a large Consciousness require large spaces. and that those who are used to living in smaller spaces and then are put into larger spaces have their Consciousness expand. certainly the powers-that-be are very interested to have each of us be willing to accept the smallest space possible...even a 4 by four square foot space so we are accepting a jail cell as normal. let us not forget to each his own and what is Tiny for me maybe a mansion for someone else. to me anything less than 500 square feet per each man or woman is truly outrageous.
@@secrets2youth I agree on many points but in my opinion you can said that happiness, sadness, entertainment, etc. is different from individual to individual because are universal yet abstract, adaptable concepts but you can't do the same with other universal like liberty, justice, and concrete concepts as are describing the porpoise. A tiny means tiny. That is why we as civilization had a marvelous tool call dictionary. The correct natural course would be maybe another name for that bigger houses that are still way small than a worldwide average size. If we all start to understand everything in our own view with our limited bubble would be confusing and sometimes plainly misguided as sometimes is. The concept of the tiny house is that simple and beautiful, maybe we need more concepts derived from there to apply to new building.
@Paul Kiely Japanese people are well known for paying high regards to the craftsmanship, despite their obsession with technology and automation. It's one of the things that makes their culture fascinating. And I'm not even a Japanese, btw.
If you think this production value is fantastic you have absolutely no idea of how serious youtube can get. Some TH-camrs (mostly tech TH-camrs) use cameras that the brain alone is worth 50k. (RED Weapon 8k) I would argue that youtube has better production value than most TV shows but there's a lot of shitty content on YT. That said this channel is pretty good when it comes to production value.
It really is. And it's so beautifully crafted. My Jaw kinda got down, when she dropped 30k USD. For the amount of work, love, care and material that went into that thing, this is cheap.
I love that Bryce is so genuinely interested in and invested in the homes. It feels like you learn a bit about the homeowners as well as the home. Their home is gorgeous. Such craftsmanship.
I love these tiny home programs. The host genuinely presents every tiny home as though it’s the best one he’s every seen. BTW, I love this particular tiny home.
One of my favourite things about Japanese culture is how every craft is an art form, and as such, every piece is a work of art. Yet it is so precise and practical in its execution
You always find the beauty and positivity in each place you visit. Your descriptions and reactions are always different for each place. You are a true journalist, very enjoyable! Thank you! ♥
I'm so addicted to this channel, I almost watched everything here. That's why I'm trying to search it on Netflix to look for more videos but apparently I think it's only available here in youtube😹
I was mesmerized by their English the whole video. Have been living in Japan for almost 2 years, always being such a 'heartwarming' sense seeing Japanese can speak this fluently.
Woooow. While I couldn't ever think of myself living in such a small space, the ingenuity of this house is off-the-charts! What's there not to like: it fits in a parking space, it has a fireplace, windows in every direction (very much light), solar, and best of all: every cubic centimeter has been carefully thought of. Truly a design masterpiece! Thanks again Bryce - this is one of your better videos. :)
I agree with you! But by "one of better" I meant "one of the best ones", not to diss on the quality of the rest of his production! I may have been a bit unclear on that one.
This is the wave of the future. Alot of people don't want to be tied down with one place or to a big mortgage and property taxes. Etc. It's too expensive.
@@sparshnaik4551 Time that many people spend cleaning their larger homes. Having to assemble spaces makes everything more deliberate... no wasted energy.
J Scholtens absolutely.. very nice architecture than american Tiny house.. I love this style..but ITS not approved by us standard because have no insulation wall.
Wow! What a truly pleasurable interview to watch. Both of these ladies seem so very well centered and obviously compatible with each other. Their tiny house is absolutely amazing on so many levels. It is the material manifestation of Mr. Haruhiko's genius. His brilliant utilization space is phenomenal. And Bryce Langston does a terrific job of creating a casual, warm and curious, conversation with these two ladies that gives them each an opportunity to reveal the many secrets of their magical miniature domicile. A thoroughly enjoyable video from start to finish. Two thumbs waaay up!
Ron Cooper Yes, they are well centered and lovely! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Rumi and Katrina last year when they were in SoCal to teach. They are energy medicine practitioners. particularly Healing Touch Program. So they do travel a-lot. But beautiful house and great video!
@@lisetteem3054 I am sorry, but I have to disagree. This is a home, but we have gotten used to the idea that a home has to be a mansion. Many Asian and other cultures have very small homes as it is the way the people have lived for may centuries. How many people from only a couple of hundred years ago were quite content living in a tent, or what we would now class as a shed? And there are still people who live all over this planet that way. They also don't bust their boilers slaving away to earn as much as they can to live the fancy lifestyle and try to get out of what seems like a permanent debt cycle. I often have to wonder just which of these people is really the better off. This home is beautiful as it suits the owners outlook on life.
Both the house and the ladies are adorable. You can see lots of little storage places, like in the kitchen,that weren't shown, that reveal just how masterfully this has been built. I can understand how a piece of your heart was left there 🙏😍😍
I've lived in Japan and I'd never met anyone who spoke English as well as these two. The lady with the pony tail sounds like it is her mother tongue and the other lady speaks English flawlessly with only a hint of an accent.
I met a japanese guy whose english was pretty much perfect. It had to do with that he worked for a company hat operated internationally and also had a good amount of employees that came from english speaking countries. It was encouraged there, to speak english.
The subtle language nuances that they speak with tells me they have spent many years living in America. Maybe in Torrance in Southern California which has a very large Japanese American population.
They most likely have lived in Canada, they use some words that are very similarly pronounced in Canada, I'd say maybe US as well, but I am leaning more towards canadian English!
I'm surprised too! My friend is Japanese and she has lived here in Canada for 20 years and her accent is still so thick and her English still a little broken. I have a hard time understanding her sometimes.
This is a proper tiny house. It’s actually small, mobile, and minimalistic, yet it is so beautifully done. The craftsmanship is amazing, it’s full of so many ingenious ideas, and really fits as a tiny house. A lot of other houses on this channel are still pretty big and extravagant and you can tell the people were still trying to force a full house into a smaller space, some even having so bad designs, but this one is really remarkable.
tell me where their shirts and pants are. the cleaning products, skin care, toiletries. their underclothes? it looks cold there.. the socks boots etc.. im calling bs.
You made a really interesting statement about how big tiny houses are getting in America and whatnot, it really makes you think about it a little more! Truly an eye-opening and grounding video.
Of course, people in America are, on average, much larger than the average Japanese person, so a tiny home for Americans, or Kiwis, or Aussies, etc would be expected to be a bit larger. This one is essentially a super-cool travel trailer. Also a great idea!
This is my favorite episode. These women really utilize the tiny space so efficiently that I'm in awe of their ingenuity. It's great that Japan has so many onsen that they can go to relax and bath. Also, living in an interior designed with wood feels so cozy and natural. Being able to cruise through the untouched Japanese mountainside is like a dream.
This is the most unique tiny house I have ever seen. It can no longer be described as a travel house. It is full of Zen and exquisite ingenuity. The structure of the logs is admirable from the inside to the outside, and even insists on the fireplace, which is even more amazing. The English of these two Japanese ladies is simply too fluent. I appreciate the moderator’s style introduction very comfortable, this should be my favorite episode I have ever watched.
I would love to see this design with a small shower and toilet, but overall, it's very nice. Btw, you are probably the best tiny house interviewer out there. You ask all questions anyone considering this lifestyle would ask and you always ask price, which here in the US, tiny home builders seem to always skip. Thank you!
personally i feel you shouldn't inquire of building price. If you have to ask you can't afford it is my feeling .. plus if ones interested in the design cost they can figure it out based on their area cost per foot figures.. most of the special property's are pieces of art that have originated from a sacred space in each builder's realm of existence .. and if you ask me should not be quantified in terms of 'monetary costs' . Recently you asked an owner the cost.. and he shook his head in response and stated only - 'I don't know' and left the subject matter right there . I thought that a perfect moment .
Canyon Haverfield You are entitled to your opinion, however, I'm always excited to see the cool houses and am always surprised at how inexpensive Living Big In a Tiny House's presentations are because they're always designed very cool, the price always shocks me (inexpensive) and gosh, I could listen to a Kiwi talk all day! US tiny home builders are ripping people off because of the "craze" and it's a little weird the whole "recently you commented statement"?? Tiny home comment stalker? lol
Bryce this is one of your best interviews. I watched this from start to finish at least half a dozen times over the last few years. You ask such insightful questions and these women are so pleasant to listen to. I hope you continue to seek out interviews with novel houses such as this. Love your tiny,by the way. I can see where you got some of your inspiration.keep up the good work. Cheers
I agree with others, this is the best. but I love them all. it seems to me that Bryce is comfortable doing what he does, and putting others at ease. at least it looks that way. but I love how he respects other's homes. Bryce has the ultimate job. traveling and scoping out people's homes. I'm nosy so I'd love it. great job mate!
Everything about this tiny house and the two women living in it is so captivating and even has a kind of soothing/grounding affect. I think this might be my favourite video from you Bryce! Keep up the awesomeness! :)
This is my daily dose of positivity. I love the way you provide insights and ask relevant questions without sounding intrusive. It reflects your positive nature. Wish you more views. Some day when I build my tiny house I hope to see it in this channel ❤️
It is interesting, but I did not see curtains for privacy or to block light for sleep. I live in a wonderful, desired climate, yet I would get way too hot in this one with so much window space.
Thanks. I didn't notice them before, but they do look way to thin to insulate from the hot sun or to block out light for sleeping. ...but to each his own!
I can understand about not having a shower, but for me, an inside toilet is a must. I would do without the cupboard and put in a composting toilet. Fantastic video thanks. Blessings to these wonderful women.
these shares aren't to evaluate the choices this way and that and what we would do... it's about what 'they' elected to do.. just that simple. Besides they have a toilet indoors.. did that escape your attention span ?
Canyon Haverfield - what? who the hell are you to tell people what they may or may not discuss. Seeing a beautiful home like this and then discussing what alterations you would ask for is perfectly legit. It's fun to think about having a home like this. And I agree with Jenny M's comment. So put that in your bossy hat and smoke it, buddy.
Thanks so much Ed! Glad you enjoyed the video. This home was an absolute dream to film, and we had the fortune of the dramatic Japanese winter lighting to add to it!
This is maybe one of the best inspiration EVER for everybody who wants to build a tiny space. It has everything: light, nature, efficiency, comfort. I especially love the shelves for the cups. Thank you for travelling to Japan and present us with this gem of Japanese design. did you have the chance to find more builds of this architect? I would love to see more if him. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed this video! I completely agree with your comments. And yes! We travelled to the south of Japan to meet Mr Tagami and tour his workshop. He is doing some truly exceptional works. That's all coming out in a future video. :)
I remember seeing some photos of this home. And they just don't do it justice when you get to see all its capabilities. This TH is exceptional. It is really the ultimate example of what a tiny house should be. Thoughtful, artfully creative, multifunctional, portable. This is a Japanese Swiss army knife king of tiny houses! (Even if one added 'must haves', done right, it wouldn't need much additional space.) Thanks Bryce for taking us there. Always look forward to your shows! :-)
Please do more videos on Tiny houses in Japan! I find Japanese design to have the most efficiency while still maintaining a nice aesthetic, keep it up!
Aloe Vera You're talking to someone who has spent 2 years learning Japanese. Japanese is the hardest language an English speaker can take. The transition from conversational Japanese to English is even harder. You are being even more disingenuous by labelling this as simply a POC issue. These women are native Japanese. So yes, the fact that they can speak English so eloquently is more than surprising. Why? Because i am told by my friends constantly how absurdly hard it is for them to speak English when we study. Emphasis on the conversational aspect; The Japanese "alphabet" equivalent is made up of pre-determined syllables (chi-shi-fu-ku etc). Speaking English is much harder since we don't have pre-determined syllables but rather the sound of each word can change dramatically by simply adding just letters. I really don't know where your conflict with my comment lies. Yes my assumption stands to reason, because Japanese people normally don't speak English. Im the same way English people don't normally speak Japanese, Greek don't speak Russian and Chinese don't speak Italian. There is a world bigger than America you know. People aren't obligated to speak English. You assumption that POC more times than not can speak eloquent English is an American view.
I wouldn't take Alove Vera's comment to heart. When you're a non-native English speaker, especially in America where immigration isn't surprising, comments about one's English are often in conjunction with some degree of condescend and people often give themselves the task of 'helping' you, even if you're completely fluent. Or well, it used to be. At least in my experience, ever since the backlash of the Trump presidency, people are becoming a lot more polite, so myself and other non-natives I know have lately not gotten that sort of comments, granted I live in an extremely fortunate area. TL;DR: You gave them a well-meaning compliment, I'm sure, but maybe past experiences have left some people jumpy.
While watching amd listening to them give him praises, Tagami-san just earned my respect. He definitely showed inventive ideas (for a tiny house) and craftsmanship to this masterpiece. Personally love the sitting area and the tucked away cooler box.
Oh gosh... Quite some Tardis this one. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G... And so beautifully, lovingly and ingeniously constructed. Rumi and Katrina are such charming and contented people. Love your infectious enthusiasm as ever, Bryce
I love the questions Bryce asks and is able to converse so smoothly about the topics surrounding all these alternative homes. I feel very informed after each episode, which is wonderfully helpful since I hope to start on my own tiny home project within the next year!
More Japanese tiny houses please! There has never been a better crafted and well designed tiny house of its size, than this one. I love all aspects of this house, most of all the love and respect that went into this space by the builder. Touches my heart how the two women, in turn, love and respect their house. Absolutely lovely! ❤️
Absolutely stunningly esthetic and beautiful! Kudos to the builder and the fortunate buyer. Very organic and breath taking my beautiful with all the cedar. It brings nature indoors, and you outdoors with all the windows. Stunning design! Than you for sharing this treasure.
For me, more important is I must have a bathroom. A full service bathroom is by far more important to me than a kitchen. I can live off fruits, nuts, seeds, bread and raw veggies and water, so I can survive w/out a kitchen - not a bathroom.
Space is more important when you live this small. Traditional b-n-sticks bathrooms take up way too much space & waste too much water. Thinking out of the box, there's several ways to answer the call of nature & keep yourself clean. These wise women have figured it out so they can live more in tune WITH NATURE & have more personal freedoms. Initial sacrifices turn into personal & environmental wins, think about it.
I agree. They're both tiny enough that the closet could have been a wet bath. Although the idea of a hot spring sounds wonderful, I'd still rather have my own shower and toilet.
Just lovely, so beautifully designed and built. I like the video length, it really allows for showing some of the character and philosophy of the women, in addition to all the trick little features of the house itself. Thank you!
Thanks Peggy! Yeah, there is a lot of pressure to keep videos on the internet shorter, but I like to have the extra time to really allow people to tell their story. This was such a unique and beautiful home I wanted to really do it justice.
Lovely Tiny Home :) and it is amazing that there is so much light in it. I found your videos one week ago and I've watched all of them in one breath :) Greetings from tiny Bulgaria
Thank-you Glenn! I know this video is longer than usual, but I thought the house was so special I wanted to be able to truly allow the owners to tell us all about it. Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the most attractive tiny home I've seen so far. Most of them are functional but not elegant. No matter of course, but it's nice to have the added element of a pleasing visage. I'm referring to the outside specifically.
This feels like camping to me. It would be really hard for me to live this tiny house life. I think its amazing that people can find ways to get so back to nature. i love it!!
Wood is such a precious commodity and used very intelligently out here. Nature is blended in with the space. It makes you believe that the world can fulfil everyone's need.
.. wow, the artistry and mastery of the carpenter are so exquisite-- and the Japanese design elements so stunning- that I don't think I would be satisfied with anything BUT this kind of all-natural-materials & level of workmanship if I ever got a tiny home of my own! a fireplace! the 360 degrees of window! the tranquility and elegance of this truly tiny home.. the ingenuity! everything fits together as precisely as a perfectly calibrated watch! add to this the seduction of how portable this home is! all the sight-seeing..just wondrous. (I am a string player, by profession, have visited luthier workshops all my life- so the magnificent woodwork is especially close to my heart--)
Lovely home. Funtionality and good craftmanship is what is missing in many homes, RV's, tiny homes. Thank you for sharing. The windows are so important to bring the outside in. Just beautifully done.
Amazing! I am not sure why I am crying😅 I think the simplicity in needs promote human values so much, being able to travel around, stop in beautiful places, with your home! The man who built this tiny home!!!! so lovely. 🙏
The Japanese are masters at designing a small efficient space.
They sure are!
Pandapoof 1 I totally agree!
Pandapoof 1 wow you're gorgeous. Marry me?
focke wulf Yes I agree. Personally I think it's because they have alot of pride and passion in what they. When I create something I know I have so much that it transfers in that item. You can't help but leave a piece of your soul.

+Divine Gypsy my feelings exactly. :)
Evie Wilkinson , like old-fashioned log cabin where several family members lived.
Yes, I don't think it is using clever design inside if you need to increase the dimensions of a tiny house to fit all the essential equipment in.
I think the spirit of a tiny house is really dependent upon the man or woman who is building it. Tiny homes became of Interest to live in a different way.

There seems to be a lot of respect and reverence for the Master craftsman Mr. Tagami. Hie’s referred to many times here.
Paul Kiely he deserves the respect he's shown, doesn't he? Great job.
@Paul Kiely
Japanese people are well known for paying high regards to the craftsmanship, despite their obsession with technology and automation. It's one of the things that makes their culture fascinating. And I'm not even a Japanese, btw.
Any link to Mr. Tagami?

I love how the people living in these tiny homes, in nature or on the road, sound like they have found their peace. Bringing it back to our roots
so you ddnt notice the closet had one winter coat.. no actual tops, pants, slkisrts or underwear.. you saw food? i didnt!
Is this from a TV series? If not it has fantastic production value for TH-cam.
Thank-you very much! It's not a TV series, I just make these videos for TH-cam. :)
Walrusberg I agree, they are like tv production, especially if you cast it t watch on TV ^-^

@@sparshnaik4551 Time that many people spend cleaning their larger homes. Having to assemble spaces makes everything more deliberate... no wasted energy.
This Tiny House is by far the most gorgeous and convenient Tiny House I've ever seen. It's perfect.
J Scholtens absolutely.. very nice architecture than american Tiny house.. I love this style..but ITS not approved by us standard because have no insulation wall.
the fireplace probably makes up for it during winter. and it looks like its not difficult to gather wood in japan.
did you mean inconvenient? where are the bras and panties.. the food? i will leave you to think on it....
Wow! What a truly pleasurable interview to watch. Both of these ladies seem so very well centered and obviously compatible with each other. Their tiny house is absolutely amazing on so many levels. It is the material manifestation of Mr. Haruhiko's genius. His brilliant utilization space is phenomenal. And Bryce Langston does a terrific job of creating a casual, warm and curious, conversation with these two ladies that gives them each an opportunity to reveal the many secrets of their magical miniature domicile. A thoroughly enjoyable video from start to finish. Two thumbs waaay up!
Ron Cooper Yes, they are well centered and lovely! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Rumi and Katrina last year when they were in SoCal to teach. They are energy medicine practitioners. particularly Healing Touch Program. So they do travel a-lot. But beautiful house and great video!
When i read this with the way you worded it it made me smile and feel a tinge of happiness..kind-of weird but i'm going with the flow😀

If you have Rumi and Katrina's contact information, I'd love to use their services.
GOOD LIVING, here ya go...

Who is Mr. Haruhiko? I only hear they mention Mr. Tagami.
I believe this video warrants an interview of the craftsman Mr. Tagami and a tour of his workplace and other works. Passionate genius.
and his own home.. cos this is not a home.
@@lisetteem3054 I am sorry, but I have to disagree. This is a home, but we have gotten used to the idea that a home has to be a mansion. Many Asian and other cultures have very small homes as it is the way the people have lived for may centuries. How many people from only a couple of hundred years ago were quite content living in a tent, or what we would now class as a shed? And there are still people who live all over this planet that way. They also don't bust their boilers slaving away to earn as much as they can to live the fancy lifestyle and try to get out of what seems like a permanent debt cycle. I often have to wonder just which of these people is really the better off.
This home is beautiful as it suits the owners outlook on life.
Both the house and the ladies are adorable. You can see lots of little storage places, like in the kitchen,that weren't shown, that reveal just how masterfully this has been built. I can understand how a piece of your heart was left there 🙏😍😍

I've lived in Japan and I'd never met anyone who spoke English as well as these two. The lady with the pony tail sounds like it is her mother tongue and the other lady speaks English flawlessly with only a hint of an accent.
I met a japanese guy whose english was pretty much perfect. It had to do with that he worked for a company hat operated internationally and also had a good amount of employees that came from english speaking countries. It was encouraged there, to speak english.
The subtle language nuances that they speak with tells me they have spent many years living in America. Maybe in Torrance in Southern California which has a very large Japanese American population.
They most likely have lived in Canada, they use some words that are very similarly pronounced in Canada, I'd say maybe US as well, but I am leaning more towards canadian English!
You could be right, most likely they have both been to various places in 英語県 ( eigo ken ) means English Prefecture or “ English speaking World “
I'm surprised too! My friend is Japanese and she has lived here in Canada for 20 years and her accent is still so thick and her English still a little broken. I have a hard time understanding her sometimes.
This is probably my favorite tiny home so far . $30k for a well built home . You can’t get much better than Japanese architecture. Love it!
Its ugly
30k is too much for that thing but I want one.
$30k for this ? I bet I could build it for $8k easy
@@iamgroot4611 can you build one for me?
@@twincherry4958 sure we could get together and work out the floor plans and figure out an estimate. What state you live in? Alabama here.
This guy finds some of the most excellent tiny homes of any show of it's type.
gblan except this one doesn’t have a shower and probably no toilet.
I'm really jealous of them. Wooooow. I could see peace in their faces
This is a proper tiny house. It’s actually small, mobile, and minimalistic, yet it is so beautifully done. The craftsmanship is amazing, it’s full of so many ingenious ideas, and really fits as a tiny house. A lot of other houses on this channel are still pretty big and extravagant and you can tell the people were still trying to force a full house into a smaller space, some even having so bad designs, but this one is really remarkable.
tell me where their shirts and pants are. the cleaning products, skin care, toiletries. their underclothes? it looks cold there.. the socks boots etc.. im calling bs.
You made a really interesting statement about how big tiny houses are getting in America and whatnot, it really makes you think about it a little more! Truly an eye-opening and grounding video.
Many Different Things
Of course, people in America are, on average, much larger than the average Japanese person, so a tiny home for Americans, or Kiwis, or Aussies, etc would be expected to be a bit larger.
This one is essentially a super-cool travel trailer. Also a great idea!
We're quite a bit larger, land of the free, home of the fat.
+J peterman33 yes, Fat!
This is my favorite episode. These women really utilize the tiny space so efficiently that I'm in awe of their ingenuity. It's great that Japan has so many onsen that they can go to relax and bath. Also, living in an interior designed with wood feels so cozy and natural. Being able to cruise through the untouched Japanese mountainside is like a dream.
You can feel the craftsman's love in this space.
This is the most unique tiny house I have ever seen. It can no longer be described as a travel house. It is full of Zen and exquisite ingenuity. The structure of the logs is admirable from the inside to the outside, and even insists on the fireplace, which is even more amazing. The English of these two Japanese ladies is simply too fluent. I appreciate the moderator’s style introduction very comfortable, this should be my favorite episode I have ever watched.
I would love to see this design with a small shower and toilet, but overall, it's very nice.
Btw, you are probably the best tiny house interviewer out there. You ask all questions anyone considering this lifestyle would ask and you always ask price, which here in the US, tiny home builders seem to always skip. Thank you!
+PJ Mac thanks so much. Glad you enjoy my videos! I'm actually visiting the US soon. Can't wait to see what we find over there! :)
personally i feel you shouldn't inquire of building price. If you have to ask you can't afford it is my feeling .. plus if ones interested in the design cost they can figure it out based on their area cost per foot figures.. most of the special property's are pieces of art that have originated from a sacred space in each builder's realm of existence .. and if you ask me should not be quantified in terms of 'monetary costs' . Recently you asked an owner the cost.. and he shook his head in response and stated only - 'I don't know' and left the subject matter right there . I thought that a perfect moment .
Canyon Haverfield
You are entitled to your opinion, however, I'm always excited to see the cool houses and am always surprised at how inexpensive Living Big In a Tiny House's presentations are because they're always designed very cool, the price always shocks me (inexpensive) and gosh, I could listen to a Kiwi talk all day!
US tiny home builders are ripping people off because of the "craze" and it's a little weird the whole "recently you commented statement"?? Tiny home comment stalker? lol
Btw, I didn't inquire on the price. I complimented him for offering it.
Canyon Haverfield - based upon your comments on this video, you appear to be a bit of a control freak. Let people ask what they want.
Bryce this is one of your best interviews. I watched this from start to finish at least half a dozen times over the last few years. You ask such insightful questions and these women are so pleasant to listen to. I hope you continue to seek out interviews with novel houses such as this. Love your tiny,by the way. I can see where you got some of your inspiration.keep up the good work. Cheers
He called these gracious women "girls," that's a major disrespectful mistake in his interview.
I agree with others, this is the best. but I love them all. it seems to me that Bryce is comfortable doing what he does, and putting others at ease. at least it looks that way. but I love how he respects other's homes. Bryce has the ultimate job. traveling and scoping out people's homes. I'm nosy so I'd love it. great job mate!
tagami is a master craftsman!
I've finally figured it out! He uses his hair like cat whiskers to prevent hitting his head.
that is the funniest, most clever comment ever! Made my day...
LOL! :)
Lmao
Haha
We all do that to some extent
Everything about this tiny house and the two women living in it is so captivating and even has a kind of soothing/grounding affect. I think this might be my favourite video from you Bryce! Keep up the awesomeness! :)
They live in a tiny jewel made of wood, where everything is so clean and emanates so much serenity! It's a lovely way to live! Congratulations!
The irony of a show about tiny houses presented by a tall man lol
He makes those tiny houses look even tinier, you know, because of his height ☺
Which is not ironic .... at all.
@Starvin Marvin what??
😂 great comment ty! 😊
@Starvin Marvin Huh? Your comment is relevant to this comment thread or these people exactly how, please?
That little fireplace is astonishing.
I have to say...this is my most favorite. Simple yet complex, old yet modern, clean and open.
This is my daily dose of positivity. I love the way you provide insights and ask relevant questions without sounding intrusive. It reflects your positive nature. Wish you more views. Some day when I build my tiny house I hope to see it in this channel ❤️
I'm totally in love. This one is just my favorite tiny home!
Honestly, I think it's mine too.
It is interesting, but I did not see curtains for privacy or to block light for sleep.
I live in a wonderful, desired climate, yet I would get way too hot in this one with so much window space.
PleaseCiteYourSources Thanks there were felted window coverings in the part when the beds were made
Thanks. I didn't notice them before, but they do look way to thin to insulate from the hot sun or to block out light for sleeping.
...but to each his own!
am I the only one who did not see a bathroom?
The strictest definition of minimalism.
"-That looks like a heavy bit of wood to me.
-I'm very strong."
😂😂😂
I can understand about not having a shower, but for me, an inside toilet is a must. I would do without the cupboard and put in a composting toilet.
Fantastic video thanks. Blessings to these wonderful women.
these shares aren't to evaluate the choices this way and that and what we would do... it's about what 'they' elected to do.. just that simple. Besides they have a toilet indoors.. did that escape your attention span ?
Canyon Haverfield
sorry Canyon, I forgot to read "Canyon Haverfield's guide to internet use and commenting."
Many Different Things
it snows in Japan and they sleep in the tiny house. That means they have to *go outside* first to access the toilet in the van.
Japanese people like to have bath at a public bathroom, it's a tradition
Canyon Haverfield - what? who the hell are you to tell people what they may or may not discuss. Seeing a beautiful home like this and then discussing what alterations you would ask for is perfectly legit. It's fun to think about having a home like this. And I agree with Jenny M's comment. So put that in your bossy hat and smoke it, buddy.
It's a single room that can transform into different rooms. pretty dope
That's the perfect definition for this tiny house. I think I should pin your comment... But I can't... 😅😁
Im more amazed by how positive and optimistic this guy is...
HisPANIC
This is his living filing tiny houses
nice thing to be doing
That's a wonderful tiny home. That fireplace blew my mind a little. Wow.
This tiny house is gorgeous! I don't think I could deal with sharing such a small space, but it looks absolutely wonderful.
I think that it's easier to do when you're traveling also, as you get to spend a lot more time outside of the home exploring.
Wow, This almost brought me to tears. We spend so much time acquiring and finding space to place it, this make me feel like I am missing something.
Well done all around--interview, cinematography, editing--and that spectacular home. Thank you.
Thanks so much Ed! Glad you enjoyed the video. This home was an absolute dream to film, and we had the fortune of the dramatic Japanese winter lighting to add to it!
one of your absolutely best videos ever! and I think yours are among the very best on TH-cam. Thank you so much for posting this!!!
This tiny house proves, "Less is more".
Atherton X really? Not for me
@Rudraksh Tiwari There was nothing wrong with what she/he said, they simple disagreed, doesn't mean they're being disrespectful or hate it.
This is maybe one of the best inspiration EVER for everybody who wants to build a tiny space. It has everything: light, nature, efficiency, comfort. I especially love the shelves for the cups. Thank you for travelling to Japan and present us with this gem of Japanese design. did you have the chance to find more builds of this architect? I would love to see more if him. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed this video! I completely agree with your comments. And yes! We travelled to the south of Japan to meet Mr Tagami and tour his workshop. He is doing some truly exceptional works. That's all coming out in a future video. :)
great, I can't wait for it! :)
I remember seeing some photos of this home. And they just don't do it justice when you get to see all its capabilities. This TH is exceptional. It is really the ultimate example of what a tiny house should be. Thoughtful, artfully creative, multifunctional, portable. This is a Japanese Swiss army knife king of tiny houses! (Even if one added 'must haves', done right, it wouldn't need much additional space.)
Thanks Bryce for taking us there. Always look forward to your shows! :-)
Sublime!!! I feel that being in this space is profoundly harmonising and healing.
Thank you for your project and for finding this precious gem!
Kudos to Mr Tagami for crafting beautiful moveable tiny house and Rumi n Katrina I’m amazed they speak english fluently 😍
English is required in Japanese schools. At least 3 years
@@DOWandKu it wasn't then this Lady went to school like 40 years ago.
Yes
Please do more videos on Tiny houses in Japan! I find Japanese design to have the most efficiency while still maintaining a nice aesthetic, keep it up!
Cheers! I have more great videos from the Japan trip coming up on the channel. So glad you enjoyed this one! :)
When I see such people like in this beautiful video I start thinking that things may get better on our planet . Thanks for being.
This house is SO elegant, I am completely amazed at how well hidden and designed everything was
Nnjnnbbbhjjjjj he be I'm not up I'll
Her english is fantastic!
It sure is! They both spend quite a lot of time in the United States, so have learnt very good English.
Radioactive Snake More than native level English they both are eloquent speakers.
The assumption being that it wouldn't be, and since it is, it's surprising. Not often are non-POCs' English commented upon. Implicit bias just sayin
Aloe Vera You're talking to someone who has spent 2 years learning Japanese. Japanese is the hardest language an English speaker can take. The transition from conversational Japanese to English is even harder. You are being even more disingenuous by labelling this as simply a POC issue.
These women are native Japanese. So yes, the fact that they can speak English so eloquently is more than surprising. Why? Because i am told by my friends constantly how absurdly hard it is for them to speak English when we study. Emphasis on the conversational aspect; The Japanese "alphabet" equivalent is made up of pre-determined syllables (chi-shi-fu-ku etc). Speaking English is much harder since we don't have pre-determined syllables but rather the sound of each word can change dramatically by simply adding just letters.
I really don't know where your conflict with my comment lies. Yes my assumption stands to reason, because Japanese people normally don't speak English. Im the same way English people don't normally speak Japanese, Greek don't speak Russian and Chinese don't speak Italian. There is a world bigger than America you know. People aren't obligated to speak English. You assumption that POC more times than not can speak eloquent English is an American view.
I wouldn't take Alove Vera's comment to heart. When you're a non-native English speaker, especially in America where immigration isn't surprising, comments about one's English are often in conjunction with some degree of condescend and people often give themselves the task of 'helping' you, even if you're completely fluent. Or well, it used to be. At least in my experience, ever since the backlash of the Trump presidency, people are becoming a lot more polite, so myself and other non-natives I know have lately not gotten that sort of comments, granted I live in an extremely fortunate area.
TL;DR: You gave them a well-meaning compliment, I'm sure, but maybe past experiences have left some people jumpy.
While watching amd listening to them give him praises, Tagami-san just earned my respect. He definitely showed inventive ideas (for a tiny house) and craftsmanship to this masterpiece. Personally love the sitting area and the tucked away cooler box.
Does not look comfortable in any way. I know Japanese are used to minimizing but damn. But butt is gonna be comfy Need tiny house lazy boy recliner !!
That is actually tiny
Very tiny!
That's what she said, lol
it's nice but too small
Amazing! Wow
Crazy J 902 that’s also what she said.
This is so beautiful!! What a wonderful designer!
This is the best, most beautiful, tiny house build I have ever seen...the builder is a master!
Wow! This is an inspiration for dreams... Dreams worth fighting for. The simplicity and beauty that's packed in that lovely home is astonishing.
Dreams indeed! This house for me encapsulates the core values of a tiny house on wheels. I love it!
Amazing, just wow and a deep bow to the carpenter!
The little wood house is perfect. The two souls who occupy the space are also perfect. I do not know to which I am more enamored.
Oh gosh... Quite some Tardis this one. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G... And so beautifully, lovingly and ingeniously constructed. Rumi and Katrina are such charming and contented people. Love your infectious enthusiasm as ever, Bryce
I love the questions Bryce asks and is able to converse so smoothly about the topics surrounding all these alternative homes. I feel very informed after each episode, which is wonderfully helpful since I hope to start on my own tiny home project within the next year!
More Japanese tiny houses please! There has never been a better crafted and well designed tiny house of its size, than this one. I love all aspects of this house, most of all the love and respect that went into this space by the builder. Touches my heart how the two women, in turn, love and respect their house. Absolutely lovely! ❤️
Such a smart house.Love the Look.
Mr Tagami has put a lot of thought into creating something which is visually beautiful and functional. It's a great design!
Could you please give a link to Mr Tagami? I'd love to see more of his creations
Absolutely stunningly esthetic and beautiful! Kudos to the builder and the fortunate buyer. Very organic and breath taking my beautiful with all the cedar. It brings nature indoors, and you outdoors with all the windows. Stunning design! Than you for sharing this treasure.
For me, more important is I must have a bathroom. A full service bathroom is by far more important to me than a kitchen. I can live off fruits, nuts, seeds, bread and raw veggies and water, so I can survive w/out a kitchen - not a bathroom.
Space is more important when you live this small. Traditional b-n-sticks bathrooms take up way too much space & waste too much water. Thinking out of the box, there's several ways to answer the call of nature & keep yourself clean. These wise women have figured it out so they can live more in tune WITH NATURE & have more personal freedoms. Initial sacrifices turn into personal & environmental wins, think about it.
@@kriskabin r
I agree. They're both tiny enough that the closet could have been a wet bath. Although the idea of a hot spring sounds wonderful, I'd still rather have my own shower and toilet.
Just lovely, so beautifully designed and built. I like the video length, it really allows for showing some of the character and philosophy of the women, in addition to all the trick little features of the house itself. Thank you!
Thanks Peggy! Yeah, there is a lot of pressure to keep videos on the internet shorter, but I like to have the extra time to really allow people to tell their story. This was such a unique and beautiful home I wanted to really do it justice.

Living Big In A Tiny House I don't mind longer videos at all!
I love that they find Onsen instead of installing a shower!
I absolutely LOVED Onsen in Japan. Some of them were in the most spectacular of locations too.
Every time I begin to doubt my desire to build a tiny home I watch this! The natural flow and material used speaks to my soul.
Brings all meaning back into Tiny houses. Mobile, Beautiful, Cheap, sustainable and of course, Tiny.
This is the most beautiful and functional tiny house I've ever seen. I love the house and the occupants 😍
Mr Tagami is an absolute legend, I love Japanese craftsmanship and design . You can tell they love their little tiny home .
This is the most attractive tiny home I've seen so far. Most of them are functional but not elegant. No matter of course, but it's nice to have the added element of a pleasing visage. I'm referring to the outside specifically.
This feels like camping to me. It would be really hard for me to live this tiny house life. I think its amazing that people can find ways to get so back to nature. i love it!!
Exactly what I was thinking.
Wood is such a precious commodity and used very intelligently out here. Nature is blended in with the space. It makes you believe that the world can fulfil everyone's need.
When it comes to really Tiny Houses, Japanese take the name
.. wow, the artistry and mastery of the carpenter are so exquisite-- and the Japanese design elements so stunning- that I don't think I would be satisfied with anything BUT this kind of all-natural-materials & level of workmanship if I ever got a tiny home of my own! a fireplace! the 360 degrees of window! the tranquility and elegance of this truly tiny home.. the ingenuity! everything fits together as precisely as a perfectly calibrated watch! add to this the seduction of how portable this home is! all the sight-seeing..just wondrous. (I am a string player, by profession, have visited luthier workshops all my life- so the magnificent woodwork is especially close to my heart--)
Lovely home. Funtionality and good craftmanship is what is missing in many homes, RV's, tiny homes. Thank you for sharing. The windows are so important to bring the outside in. Just beautifully done.
