Special features of a Japanese home 〜日本の家〜 Japan Vlog | easy Japanese home cooking recipe

The Japanese way of living is really smart. Clean floors, water economy, efficient storage… and so much beauty in a family house.

I love how you showed a lived in japanese home, rather than a polished superficial version. Thank you for opening your family home up to the world.

People might think that Japanese people have a weird thing about floor cleanliness, but really it's because Japanese culture is much more "floor centric" than other cultures. Unlike in western and European homes where everything is up off the floor, In traditional Japanese homes all of the furniture is situated close to or on the floor, they sit on the floor at the table, when they are just watching tv and they sleep on the floor. So that is where the cleanliness of the floor becomes SUPER important. Personally i would LOVE to move to Japan, I absolutely adore everything from the language, food, to the life style and culture to just little things like this guy is showing. Everything is just makes a lot more sense and is more centered around convenience than in how things are done in the western world.

The thing I love the most about Japanese culture is that no matter how modern their lifestyle gets, there's always some room for a connection to the past and their origin? Legacy? It's just so heartwarming, esp that family book with their family's ancestors names, I mean... wow, I love Japan and the Japanese culture so much🇯🇵❤️

Please thank your parents for allowing you to give us a tour of their home.

I wish there were home tours of every country. Because it looks the same outside, but we can learn so much from each other. The water-saving techniques are especially fascinating to me.

I really like how the bathing room is separate from the dressing room and toilet area. I also really like that bathing area is built in such a way that everything can get wet. This must make cleaning the room easier and decrease concerns about humidity in the room damaging any wooden cabinets, walls, etc.. Thank you so much for sharing your home so that we might learn about Japanese homes!

Japanese designs and practices just make sense

The Japanese are one of my favorite cultures, as an American girl I’ve always admired your cleanliness and respect for nature!

So, saving water has been at the top of the list in Japan for a long time. Everything has been developed to do this, from bathing to washing clothes, to the toilet. Love the toilet idea. And, if the room were warm enough, it would be no problem to wash before getting into the bath water. Many places in the world will come to use these ideas over time.

I love seeing how other cultures live and work. Thank you for letting us in your home.

What a very beautiful house. I also take my shoes off when entering my home. And I never go outside barefoot. I really do appreciate you sharing your home. I am so grateful to you. Stay safe. May blessings to you and your family 👪 🙏

What an honor to be taken on a tour of your families home and truly sacred space. I have always loved the Japanese culture. Thank you so much. What a precious journey…

I love the separation between inside and outside spaces! 🏡 It really helps keep the home clean.

Thank you. I have lived in Tokyo, in Roppongi and also in Osaka. Went back and forth from Canada for about 10 years. Still do some of the traditional ways of living. Love the People.

In New Zealand half the country believes in outside shoes off at the door and the other half does not. But I agree it's great for keeping the home cleaner. I love the water saving features. The handbasin water going to the cistern and the bath water to the washing machine is brilliant.

I am from the Philippines and i really love Japanese home designs-- they're cozy,functional,traditional and homey. More power to your channel👍

I live in the US in the Southwest desert. We have serious concerns these days about our water supply. It makes SO much sense for us to adopt the Japanese water conservation practices inside our homes. Thanks for this video. Probably the coolest, most informative video I’ve seen about Japan. I am a new subscriber after seeing this. ❤

Thank you for such a thorough tour of your beautiful home. The Japanese home makes so much sense in so many ways! I wish we could live like that in Canada. For many years now, I have adopted the no shoes rule in my home as well as many other customs, and it is often a struggle to have people respect it, they look at me so strangely. I like how in Japan reason and tradition are respected!😊

I like the clear lines. and the windows without sills. Thank you for that tour!
