We've been curious about what goes into buying a house here for a while
so today we're at a model house!
Hello, welcome!
Are you here to look around?
Yes.
Please come in.
It's so big.
We don't normally make entryways this big.
We made it big for the model house but you can adjust the size however you want.
Normally you're not allowed to take videos inside the houses,
but we got special permission from Toyota Home Aichi today.
Look how this shuts! It's so quiet.
By the way, why are all these books written in English?
Because it looks stylish.
They make good decorations!
And they're all dictionaries for some reason.
We were also able to ask the workers some questions.
Thank you for letting us ask questions today.
We've never actually come to place like this before, and probably won't buy a house for a while yet.
But if we want to buy a house, where do we start?
It's really common for people to not know where to start.
So, please just look around first and see if there's anything you like.
And you'll probably come up with questions while looking around.
So, just start by looking!
By the way, I thought Toyota Home was only for Toyota workers. Is anyone allowed to buy these houses?
Yes, anyone can buy them.
We started as a Toyota Mortar Housing division, and many Toyota workers built houses with us.
But we wanted anyone to be able to build the high quality houses we offer,
so if you'd like to, anyone can buy from us.
By the way, have you built a house?
Yes. I'm 31 now, so I bought mine three years ago.
I built a Toyota home.
"My home"... (*Japanese phrase)
Yes, building your own house is a man's dream!
I hope to one day, too.
If you have any questions just ask, since I've done it before!
So, I'm very picky and will probably want to design my house very specifically...
The worst kind of customer...
No problem at all! Ask us anything.
Really?
I love cats, and...
I was wondering if you can make special walkways and doors for cats?
No problem.
OMG really?!
The model house in Nagakute has a special space for dogs.
My wife used to work at a pet store and made a doorknob in the shape of a dog tail.
So you can ask us anything.
Awesome.
I like this double height ceiling.
Thank you very much.
Even though it's double height ceiling,
we have a heating and air conditioning system in this house, so all the rooms are warm even in winter.
Is it like central heating?
Yes.
That's awesome!
I need one.
I totally understand.
Even the hallway and bathroom are warm.
This looks like a restaurant.
Yeah, I like it.
What's this?
That's a side door.
There were people.
"Hi."
I want this...
Rachel said you like cooking.
Yeah...
What do you think?
Marvelous.
Is this dish washer?
Yes.
I want this so bad.
There's a lot of space in these drawers.
I could fit all my cooking supplies in there.
I bet.
By the way, it says CS No.1, but what's No.1?
This means customer satisfaction.
There are many Toyota Home agencies in Japan, and our Aichi agency came first for three years in a row.
There are many housing makes out there, but why should we pick you?
Since we build more than 85% of a house in the factory in advance, our houses are all high quality.
We guarantee them for 60 years which is the longest guarantee in the housing maker industry.
That's like the rest of my life.
Yes, even your grandchildren can live just fine.
I heard we can go see the factory...?
Yes, you can.
It opens for anyone once a month.
Then, let's go see that, too.
Yeah.
Thank you.
This is the end of the tour.
Thank you.
Do you have other models houses we can go to?
Yes, we do.
This one was only built a year ago, so I recommend going there.
Then let's go here next.
Okay!
Thank you for the tour today.
