    Japan homes 🏠 are WAY more advanced than American homes .
    Price wise we are surprised how affordable it is - we thought homes there were much more .
    Thank you for sharing everything with us !
    We met you guys at Pride and always look forward to your videos !

      He is absolutely adorable. And how perfect his English language is - something I don't think comes naturally to a Japanese person. I follow Yuzuru Hanyu because he is also such a fascinating personality and I always smile so much when he tries to speak English.

      I think he's disgusting and superficial. Gays are usually very intelligent, civilized, educated. He seems abusive, toxic, evil and likes pretending he's a 15 year old little girl with his "cute plush" teheheheheeheh.
      Whats he going to do when he's 50? Still act like a 15 year old girl with a plush toy? He has LOTS of internalized homophobia and hates himself which is why he looks and acts so emotionally stunted. Everyone should stay away from him. He shouldnt be allowed to be in a gay relationship until he realizes he's a piece of shit that needs theraphy.

      @@TokyoBTM you can live here without a car, the public transportation system is good. but i think it would be inconvenient. if you leave hiroshima city centre then buses and trains don't run as often, or they might not be close to where you live or want to go. so most people i know own a car. i've only visited tokyo but it seems much easier to live car-less there compared to where i live. :)

    Wow! I live in New Zealand. That house is cheap compared to buying a house here. You also need 20% deposit that you have saved up of your own money. It has so many modern conveniences and up to date technology and the way you recycle your trash is phenomenal. The house might be small but it has everything for a single person. Even a small family with two small children would be very comfortable there, especially if both parents are working. You could easily upgrade in a few years to a larger house. Thanks for showing us your house. I wish I could come live in Japan.

    I love this small house! I'm thinking of eventually buying property myself once I get PR/Citizenship. But probably not a house. I think I still like apartments better because I want everything in one space and I think as a single female, there's more safety because of things like the autolock in mansion buildings. But it's really interesting to see little details, especially things like the money talk. Thank you so much for this video!

    This is such a good video! I've been flirting with buying a house in the next few years, when I'm more settled, but now I don't know. The property tax, plus city taxes, plus having to take care of stuff and deal with all the issues personally if something breaks... It really adds up, money are responsibility-wise. I like the freedom of being able to decide after a year if I want to move on or not.

    We in England🇬🇧 have a somewhat similiar situation with rubbish & recycling for most boroughs around the country set by their local council. We have 3 separate coloured wheelie bins: 1 for general household rubbish collected fortnightly; 1 for recycling i.e. plastic/glass bottles and tin cans (need to be washed) cardboard, paper collected alternate fortnights; 1 for garden/green waste once a month.
    There may be the various fees on top of your mortgage when purchasing a house but goodness Japan's interest rate is very low and a great monthly repayment too!
    Enjoy your new home.
