[Music]
hey guys
good morning from tokyo i'm in tokyo at
the moment i'm here for a couple days
i thought i would contact my friend alex
and see if he could get us into another
cool property
you guys seem to enjoy the 13 grand a
month apartment tour that we did last
time so
i think we're in luck uh it sounds like
he's found something really cool for us
so
i'm just heading up to his office now
and let's see what he's got
fundamentally that's why i hate
charlotte oh
hey good god i didn't see you there
all right so chris is my cameraman again
today
thank you chris first things first
according to the comments of our last
video i really suck
at petting dogs then i completely agree
with those could you teach me
how to pet scotty properly okay so you
tried to pet her like a cat and what you
do with the catch is
you know kind of go above like that
right yeah but dogs they actually do
better if you go from the side
okay so yeah just try putting her on the
side and then you can make it
yeah there you go there we go
okay so which property do you have for
us today what are we going to see
okay so but the last one that was an
insane place as far as i remember it was
about a thirteen
thousand dollar a month rental for five
bedrooms it was
so spacious and just ridiculous it was
um
can you top it this time i can
definitely talk
what are we gonna see so first off this
time it's not an apartment it's a house
all right it's an entire house and it's
not for rent it's for sale so you can
actually buy this one
all right and what what's the price tag
on this one
here i'm ready all right it's 790
million yen wow so just about eight
million dollars
all right and where's it located it's
right in between harajuku
like uh where chris where's the first
place exactly
okay that's a really good area yeah and
it's big it's over four floors
and one of the floors has a very dark
secret so you're going to see what that
is pretty soon
all right let's go see the the dark
secret are you ready
yeah let's do it let's do it
all right we are here at the eight
million dollar harajuku
home it's a house it's four floors right
there's four floors to this place yeah
and every floor is crazy than the other
one you're gonna see
i can't wait let's go ahead just one
thing you need to know
this door locks itself so i actually put
a little stopper in there
so yeah just a little security feature a
door yeah it's a massive door
very heavy and if you come in over here
you'll see
what looks like most people's living
rooms in japan is actually just
the entrance and you can tell that
because you have
all this shoe storage over here this
entire wall of shoe storage of course
so you can see right here just coming
through it is an architectural
masterpiece inside and there is a reason
behind that it's actually because
uh the original owner of this place was
an architect
and he designed it he designed it from
the ground up and that's why
you're gonna see not just these crazy
glass panels right here but yeah
not just this but everything else in
here is just a
marvel of uh architecture yeah and
what do you do when you have your
friends over right
it was a long drive for them they need
to come in
and relieve themselves right so that's
why you actually have
the first
first closet
[Music]
what i thought was the bathroom wasn't
actually bathroom so what i was saying
again
uh when your guests want to relieve
themselves uh
after the long drive on the way to your
nice house in harajuku they can come
into here
into the amazing bathroom right
with again and charlotte this time you
get a jacuzzi as well yay
yes and a towel drying rack
yeah oh my god i've always wanted one of
these yeah yeah yeah so you can have
warm
towels in your bathroom isn't that
always a nice luxury i've never seen
that in japan
yeah that's cool and if you go over
there you can go into your
nice jacuzzi for two as you can see oh
that's neat
yeah with two pillows as well now
technically this is actually the master
bedroom
and also the master bath believe it or
not oh yeah so they're considering
this if you come over here to be one of
the bedrooms but
the previous owner obviously had this as
more like a living room you could do it
either way
yeah i i definitely prefer this as the
sitting room i don't think i'd want to
put a bedroom here yeah it's kind of a
strange place to have a bedroom
yeah absolutely wow it is a very nice
room you have your gigantic
l-shaped cat you don't even have to
imagine anything in this place
one piece of furniture for you yes well
but you come out here and you have a
very
very nice
wooden deck all to yourself that's
really cool yeah i love the wooden
background that would look so nice with
some lights
that would you would have your fairy
lights on yeah lots of fairy lights lots
of fairy lights
yeah wow look at this yeah
just take a look at those stairs it is
unbelievable again you have an architect
uh who built this from the ground up for
himself so he did not spare
anything in design or materials for that
matter
so come on up now coming up to the
second floor you're going to see
you step right into probably one of the
nicest
living rooms in all of tokyo at least in
the house uh
very very high ceilings very high yeah
ceiling windows with these crazy looking
blinds
it's not the greatest view in tokyo but
it is so nice
but i'm sure the light is really nice
the lighthouse is very nice in here yeah
you have light all day long
and then also you see this guy what's
going on there for one thing this is
where i would put my tv
yeah do you have a gear yes you have uh
your tv right in front of this large
mosaic thing
kind of like a turkish bath vibe yeah it
is and
you come over here and you have
something i haven't really seen in too
many japanese houses are that many
houses in general what is it this i'm
calling this
the panic room right so this is the
panic room you have these
solid metal walls here
there's no way to get in or out except
you can climb up except for the climb up
so you really have to panic in order to
get out of here
leaving at the security room slash
panicling slash parasites
uh dungeon kind of thing very
interesting yes we make our way
over and up these beautiful stairs on
the
glass class rails into
what is one of the nicest toilets i've
ever seen
the sink is really high i feel like
things are usually really low in japan
this feels like it's the right height
which is strange it is yeah
it's right at which i guess because the
ceiling's so high they kind of have to
make everything higher or look really
strange but
this is beautiful it is it is absolutely
beautiful that's just the toilet
that's not even the shower room no no no
no this is the kitchen
dining room this is a pretty big dining
room right this is quite nice it's quite
light everything's kind of cozy yeah the
last apartment we saw it was just like
ridiculous right it was too big honestly
this entire uh house is about 330 square
meters okay
right so just over i don't know 3 600
square feet so it's a big
place especially for japanese standards
but you don't feel like it's too big you
have the high ceiling it's nice
but it's uh room is a nice size yeah
let's go check out the kitchen actually
so i love this you have this kind of
industrial almost like a ramen shop kind
of thing so
you know you make your food you put it
up here and then you put the
bowls and everything the spent bowls at
the bottom and yeah charlotte will go
and clean them for you
it's cool how it's separated but you can
still see what's going on
and it's still it's open but it's not a
completely closed kitchen
and there's an oven now come on over
here you have to see the oven
this is a real oven again yes and space
for
probably a very very large refrigerator
yeah this could think certain wouldn't
be able to reach the freezing
you have the four burners of course and
you have plenty of space for all of your
wow that's a lot of space for recovery
can we go up two more or is it one more
up and then is there like a secret
let's find out okay let's go up yes
wait a second
is that what i think it is what
the first real bedroom is okay this
feels like a bedroom this feels
yeah this is more of a bedroomy kind of
place i mean apart from the tile wall
over there which i just love by the way
yeah that's an interesting choice
isn't that amazing it's really pretty
[Music]
there we go oh that's cool yes yeah
which
got stuck that's really pretty yeah not
only the sets that's going to look
pretty but
if you actually make your way outside oh
it's a balcony
yeah it's such a tiny little door yes
you've got the hobbit door leading out
to the giant
balcony on your roof wow this is cool
this is quite nice actually
imagine owning a balcony like this in
the middle of tokyo yeah
it's very cool i mean the views are you
know not exactly the best but
they're still pretty nice they look
really nice at night time they do
with like the big buildings lit up yeah
i can imagine it's really pretty
i would have my barbecue over there i
would have the little seating area out
there yeah
definitely what would you do with this
though no no it feels very open
with all those apartments there kind of
like watching you i would definitely put
up some kind of like
fencing maybe like a bamboo folding
screen type yeah that could work maybe
some like trees in a pocket
yeah yeah but wow this is a lot of space
to work with
this is now we just went through uh
from one of the bedrooms now let's go
and see the other bedroom
so come on over here let's go check out
the second bedroom and
it is quite dark right now but at the
same time you're sleeping in a bedroom
you don't really need
that much light one thing though
let's take a look over here see what is
in here oh yeah
your walk-in closet oh yeah this is
quite nice oh cool
i like it it's very simple it just looks
like pipes like
drainage pipes yeah it is strange
because
i've seen a lot of walk-in closets in
japan and generally speaking they have
these t-shaped poles on them
i still can't figure out exactly what
they're for just hanging clothes
now if you come on over here how many
floors did i say
four floors right is there is there like
a ceiling level
oh my above sorry i have to show this oh
my oh my
this is the second bath it's actually
just a shower oh my
but i mean it's telling the truth it's
nice i just it's so bright
i love how bright it is and it's like
mostly natural lighting coming in
it is yeah i mean honestly if you turn
the lights off it's not really going to
make that much of a difference
yeah just a shower this time but
but who needs more than a shower and if
you need a bath you go downstairs
yeah exactly yeah so where is this
fourth floor is it above us
like on the very roof is there a rooftop
like
garden lounge area oh no it's the secret
torture basement
yeah you ready to see the secret towards
your basement okay let's go see the
secret towards your basement
[Music]
i wasn't expecting this it's got like a
love hotel vibe to it yeah that's so far
let's just actually see what it looks
like inside they consider this
the uh let's call it the play room right
so at one point
they were thinking of putting karaoke
yeah this is going to be an entire
karaoke
room that'd be great for photos it would
be great for photos in fact
it's got a rose carpet it has rose
carpet
sunken floors just over here by the way
yeah so you can have your
uh your nice l-shaped sofa on the corner
while you have
your gigantic screen right over there
broadcasting your favorite karaoke tunes
this feels like so out of place with the
rest of the house it is
it is absolutely out of place but i love
it and it's like a bar it is this is
actually a bar specifically for the
basement
yes you have a bar complete with storage
for all the liquor that you're gonna
need
oh my god okay this is weird but cool
this is very weird
i could definitely find a use for a room
like this yeah it'd be fun to like hang
out with your friends down here i could
have a ddr machine over there
i haven't heard that in years maybe i
could make that like a ball pit
yeah i would love to meet the people
that lived here i'm sure they were very
interesting very eccentric yeah
well there you have it an 8 million
dollar house right in the middle of
harajuku omotesando
it is really nice i love the staircase
it's beautiful and that bathroom is
gorgeous
i really love the dark feel to it it's
very cool
but it's a little too like tight like
cool cold feeling i think i prefer some
place a little more cozy maybe more wood
that's what it's lacking but if you guys
