Our traditional Japanese home - Moving to Japan in 2022
We are moving to Japan in 2022. With this video, we want to show you the traditional home of my grandparents, where we are going to stay in the beginning. My grandparents built this house 61 years ago in a traditional Japanese way. It is from a temple carpenter, and my family always took good care of it, so everything looks really beautiful. We will start our small tour through the house at our Japanese garden.

Our new Life in Japan.
We are Senka and Marco, a Japanese German couple. After living for two years together in Germany we decided to start a new life in Japan. With this channel we want to share our challenges and impression in Japan with you.
🏷We would like to introduce travel tips and tasty local foods!
🏷Not only famous places but also interesting rare places.
That is not a house, that is a masterpiece.
We Appreciate You ☺️
I agree, as an architect.
@@kikikons 🙏🤗
And with the sliding doors, taking no place. I adore this house. Cosy it is. And all the smart solutions, a house for compact living
I think it’s so nice that the granddaughter is living in this beautiful house
We are so happy about it.
The lady is deeply proud. Proud of her parents, her culture and heritage and history. I hope my grand daughter can have self esteem steeped in fidelity
That's kind of you to say. I wish you and your grand daughter only the best.
I really have become obsessed with japanese architecture, something about the wood tones, the natural materials, the cozy floors, the compact floor plans, the subtle verticality, everything just looks beautiful
I also like it..☺️ I’m impressed the old way of Japanese constructing. I guess the long time made everything look even more beautiful.
As a resident of Poland, I find great pleasure in experiencing aspects of Japanese culture, such as this traditional house.
We are happy to receive comments from all over the world. Many greetings to Poland 🇵🇱
Minimal, functional, beautiful, cozy home. Thats japanese architecture.
This is what a perfect warm house looks like ❤️ I really hope Japanese people never give up those beautiful traditional houses 😢❤ It's so unique Love from Egypt 🇪🇬
Many Greetings back from Tokyo. We will maintain this house from my family as long as we can 🙂
The Japanese are so cool, I love their culture.
It makes us happy to read this 🤗
I had a dream of having a Japanese-style house like this. And your house is really beautiful. Not only beautiful but warm as well❤❤❤
Love a decently deep engawa, wise carpenters. So glad it is appreciated. Grandpa would be proud.
We hope your dream will come true one day ☺️
This bamboo ornament is awesome. All this Japanese home ambience is so unique. To me it feels like being a toy in a beautiful box. Very cosy ❤
That's kind of you to say.
That house is so gorgeous- all the details , the materials the craftsmanship and changing light - Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
🌸🙏
I loved your home. Right now I'm visiting Japan for the first time and I watched your video. The house is beautiful, and your husband seems happy to live there. Now in Spain I am also going to live in my grandmother's house, and this video moves me to see how many of us continue to honor our grandparents even though they are gone ❤
Thank you for your comment. I hope you’re having a great time here in Japan🥰🇯🇵 What is your most favourite part of Japan? That sounds great.💖I’m sure that your grandmother is happy that you’re living their house.😊💐
I love how you take the time to describe the different elements of the house (Like the Engawa). I learned much watching this video. My favorite part was the picture of grandfather sitting in that part of the house.
THE HOUSE IS SO PEACEFUL BY ITS NATURE JUST LOVE IT!! FROM INDIA
Thank you ❤️ We visited India last year and enjoyed it a lot! 🤗🇮🇳Greetings from Japan
This was everything I needed ❤ so heartwarming and relaxing.
Thank you for the tour of your beautiful home.❤
Such a neat concept. I love it.
Wow it's feels so surprised to see through other's cultures..... And I felt so calm and comfortable watching your video.... ❤love from 🇮🇳
Thank you for your introduction! Your home looks comfortable. What a thoughtful design!
What a beautiful place, I love it ❤
Very, very beautiful home!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful home. My heart is warm, and I'm happy, thinking about a nice place like that, and now she can continue to make memories there where her grandparents lived. It's a lovely thought.
This is such a gorgeous and peaceful looking home, and it is made even more beautiful with all of the memories, love, and history stored within every room. 💕
Thanks for sharing.
Bless you both.
Such wonderful craftsmanship gone into the design of the traditional Japanese House. Loved the hidden trap door in floor for eating and lovely sliding doors. Wishing you both blessings and good health Simon and Beth watching from England 🇬🇧 ❤🙋
Thank u for sharing
This is fantastic. Not only have you shown us a traditional machiya but you have also shown us how many of the important aspects function. Really enjoyed watching this ありがとうございました。 ^ ^
I envy you the opportunity to live in this house and to enjoy it. Japanese houses are my favourites, because of their ingenuity in building and the sheer beauty of it. As a German, I know that you appreciate the genius of these traditional buildings and their craftsmenship and attention to detail. Your smiling face said it all. You need to see Karl and his wife, in a Japanese doco. He is an architect who has restored a number of Japanese houses and has brought a small village back to life again. He recently received an award from the Japanese government. I will try and find his last name for you, which presently I have forgotten. Found it: Karl and Tina Bengs in Niigata Prefecture. Their doco is offered by NHK Japan.
Thank you for your recommendation. We need to watch this documentary. We love to explore other Japanese houses as well. It’s like opening a treasure box. 🌸
@@SenChannelvlog There are quite a few of these treasures. In addition to Karl and Tina Bengs, you must see Tokyo Llama and his restoration.
Che casa meravigliosa ❣️ Conservatela con cura ❣️❣️❣️
❤️thx for giving us such an insightful introduction of the old Japanese house, always feeling curious
We are happy to share our experiences with you.
This house is absolutely perfect!!!!!! it's pure art!!! Queria ter uma assim aqui no Brasil. ❤
thank you for sharing! it is gorgeous!
🥰❤️
Wonderful house like in a ghibli movie. I just imagine how cool it would be when your grandchildren would play with you there.
I used to play Shogi (Japanese old board game) with my grandpa when I was a kid.☺️ My grandma always cooked tasty food for us whenever I visited here.🍲 I wish they were still alive so that my kid also can play with them..🙈✨
Lovely traditional home, now the home for a new couple. It's amazing how innovative traditional Japanese houses are! And, as always, those toilets should be standard everywhere. Enjoy the house and the memories!
BEAUTIFUL - THANK YOU !
😊🌸✨
I needed to watch this for a school project, it was an amazing walkthrough❤
That’s interesting! I’m curious for which kind of school project.☺️ Thank you for your comment and all the best for your project.🙌😊❤️
This is so fun to watch ❤️❤️❤️
I'm always happy to read your comments :)

So, so great, so interesting to see what a real traditional Japanese home is like - I learnt a lot. Many thanks......All the way from London !
We are happy to read that the video has reached you in London. Many Greetings 🌸
Tidy and clean, love it❤
🌸🙏
Beautiful 🙌🏼
Thank you for your comment 🌸
Beautiful couple and thanks for sharing .
Thank you 😊
I love the process and history of your home. The act of opening windows to allow natural light in reminds me off the act of mindfulness. Fully being present in the moment to ensure all the solid panels are stored correctly. I have recently bought a house in Tasmania Australia and I am finding it hard to connect with this building. I would love one day to bring these concepts into my home. I would love to see more of how your kitchen works.
Thank you for your comment. We also realized that there are many ideas hidden in this architecture.😊 I’m interested in seeing your house in Tasmania🏠🏝
I am waiting to see more videos from that wonderful home
Thank you for your comment. We’ll try to make more videos about this home.☺️🏠
Thank you for showing us your beautiful home. I love to see how people live all over the world. I have just found your KZhead channel so shall be watching more!! 🥰💐🙅♀️
Thank you for your warm comment.🥰 We’re really happy to share more about our life here in Japan.😊 Greetings from Tokyo🙋🏻♀️🇯🇵🌸

I love all parts! Especially Yukimi Shoji and ranmas. Also amadoi. You are very lucky to have a such beautiful traditional house.
Yes, we feel so happy to be able to live in this house. Thank you for your comment :)
Wonderfull house for a tradition loving lady. Love your home, stay safe and be proud of what your parents left you!!! ❤❤❤

Interesring house, plenty of privacy, Japanese seems to value privacy and quietness.Also very clean and notice how they keep away their things. clutter free.
Thank you☺️ We enjoy the view from our house and also quietness.🌳🦜 We’ll try to keep it as clean as possible 🙈✨
Thes house is and art of a leaving legend one of the talented japanese carpenters.
We appreciate the person who built this house.🥰🏡
You have a beautiful home. Take care of it, it’s precious.
We’ll try to keep it. Thank you for your comment.☺️✨
This house looks wonderful! I hope to go to Japan one day! Love from U.S.A 💖
We hope that you will have the chance to come. Thank your for your friendly message.
I like the style of Japanese homes -- the sliding doors/screens between the rooms, the furniture -- and no clutter.
Thank you for your comment. 🌸
Woooooow I love this!!!!
Thank you😊🌸
Super home... Keep it like this for ever...
We’ll try our best to keep it as long as possible.☺️
This makes me feel so happy
We appreciate you 🙂
Thanks for the roomtour! Looks interesting and comfortable 😊
New ideas for our holiday home in Ghana 🫣😍
Thank you, Johannes. It is comfortable but also a little cold as old houses are mostly not isolated. Moreover, we only use electro heater 🥶
@@ireneselormabiti9752 We hope to see also a roomtour of you guys one day 😆
That home is absolutely beautiful with all that diminished lighting
We are happy to read this 🙏
The Japanese people really have taken the tiny house to an art form.
I can tell you are in love by her hair and his accent
Danke für diese aufschlussreiche Roomtour. Das ganze wirkt so zeitlos und durchdacht. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Grüße
Es freut uns sehr dies zu lesen. Vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar.
What a beautiful home and well designed for comfort in all seasons. I wish I can live in a traditional Japanese home too.
We hope your wish come true. Thank you for watching.
This is so great ❤ traditional and perhaps not as fast to open all the windows but it’s almost by design you have to slow down and appreciate what it can offer you. I would love to live there. Kototsu in the winter sounds amazing
It’s getting cold now in Japan. So we already started using the Horigotatsu. Thank you for your comment and many greetings from Japan. 🌸
The most loving part of the video was when the lady of the house showed us the closet where she will pray in the morning and the evening. Every Hindu home has a mini temple for puja (prayer).
That is really interesting to know. Soon we will travel to India 🇮🇳☺️
Amazing....a wonderful house
Thank you a lot. We appreciate you 🌸🙏
Absolutely incredible house ! Greetings from France 🇫🇷
Thank you ☺️ Greetings from Japan🇯🇵🌸
Beautiful and warm home

Thank you for your comment 😊
Vielen Herzlichen Dank ! Wunderbare Tour aus der Vergangenheit !

Me too! Love Japanese architecture and decor, something about the simplicity, flow, and unique symmetry.
Hope those old architecture and good parts remain in the future..☺️
Beautiful
Thank you 🙏
I have enjoyed this
Happy to hear that 😊🌸
This house is so cool. It looks so warm and welcoming. He looks so happy feeling his bare feet on the wood floors and tatami 😊
🌸🙏😊
Im just watching but I can feel the warm hearts of those who lived there
My grandparents must be happy to hear that.🥰
Lurveeeee itttt classy
This is phenomenal. Everything has a place, a function (More than one) and the calm and serene environment is so inviting. As I get older I need less stuff. I should have visited Japan!
Hopefully you’ll get a chance to visit Japan.😊 A beautiful Sakura 🌸 season has started.
What a besutiful place to wake up to every morning
We enjoy the view of our Garden every morning.☺️🌳☀️
This is really wonderful. I love it

Thank you 🌸
Your home is a beautiful work of art. I love it.
Thank you so much 🌸
Japanese home art I say is gorgeous due simplicity along functionality... Also ageless
We‘ll try to keep it as long as possible.😊
those windows are amazing !!!
It’s practical right?☺️🚪🪟
Your home is absolutely gorgeous!💕🌸💕 It reminded me of my great grandparents home in Kyushu. Their home was a farm home so it was a bit bigger when I saw it. Sadly it’s no longer is in the family. Only one of the smaller home are in the family. My great grandparent had 10 children so I’m sure they had to build on to the original home that was over the 500+ years old when I saw it. Although it didn’t have all the wonderful modern amenities that your home has. I noted that some things don’t change. Example the entrance with the different levels, the outside sitting area with its own sliding doors, the hall that goes around the home, the storage areas tucked away out of sight, the carved wooden panels over the sliding doors, how a room can be changed around to make other rooms and especially the underfloor “heating”. I would have loved to have seen a picture of the table out with the blanket over the table keeping everyone warm.🥰 Of course there are other things that all Japanese homes have but those are what I remember the most. The memories, I can recall like it was yesterday, was the scent of the “non-modern” Japanese homes. I love that scent.❤ I think it’s the wood structure or maybe the floor mats that had that smell of fragrant woods…cypress or cedar? How I miss that scent and my family as well. Your video made me cry bitter sweet tears. Thank you for bringing back memories of beautiful times. 🙏🏻🌸🙏🏻 My mother is Japanese and my father was American in the military when they met. My father spent 8 years in Japan during the war. He truly loved the people, culture, and the nature that was everywhere. My father was a very generous and friendly. He would talk to anyone that would talk with him. He learned how to speak Japanese quickly and was always studying how to read and write Japanese too. My father said he thought Japan was one of the most beautiful places he had ever been. So much of my father’s knowledge and experience was spoken of all my life. Everything from the folk dances, good, different ways of fishing for different kinds of seafood, polite customs etc. My father always said that learning how to be “polite” (in all kinds of countries) will never keep you back due to fear or close a door that could have been left open because you didn’t know what to do or act. He was loyal his country but he truly loved Japan. My father always planned for us to move back to Japan permanently, whatever it took. Unfortunately, he passed away before that could happen. If things had gone to his plan I would have been 12 years old when we moved back to Japan. I really wish his wish would have happened. When I finally found my Japanese family after 40 years of separation, they had had moved from Kyushu to Nagoya for the new family business. How I found them was a miracle and so unexpected. A story for another day. That’s when I understood why my father wanted to move back to Japan and why he loved Japan so much. The first time I went to see my mother’s family, I didn’t want to leave. I would stay up at night trying to figure out how I could stay. I know my aunts and uncles would have taken me in but I didn’t want to do that for more than it would take to find an apartment. They were all so wonderful to me… Now I have CFS/FMS for over 26 years and it’s getting worse. So now I’m restricted to watching KZhead videos and wishing I had gone to Japan when I was 18. Again, thank you for your post.🙏🏻🌸💕
We hope that you will be fine soon. Thank you for sharing this personal story with us. Your father must have been a wonderful person. It’s impressive that he learned to speak Japanese so quickly. We hope that you will be able to visit the remaining house of your family in Japan. It must be challenging and exciting to have parents from two different continents 🌸🌸🌸
This is soooo beautiful!
Thank you 🙈🌸✨
We are happy to read this 🌞
@@SenChannelvlog I will be continuing to watch your journey 🫶✨
I miss the smell of tatami. I miss Japan so much. I hope one day I can go back. Your house made me day dream about it even more.
I understand. 🙈 I also like the smell of Tatami. It’s kind of relaxing.☺️I hope you can come back to Japan🇯🇵✨
What a beautiful house with all the charm of Japanese houses. And you can tell it's been very well cared for. I can't say what I like best in it as I liked everything so much. The Butsudan reminds me of the Herrgottswinkel in the traditional houses in Bavaria. In addition to religious objects, the Herrgottswinkel also contains pictures of relatives who have already passed away. However, gifts such as tea and sweets are not brought, but things such as bouquets of herbs, sheaves of grain, fir branches and the like are brought on certain occasions. Thanks for the nice video!
Thank you for your comment.☺️ In Japan, we would also put pictures of deceased relatives and flowers close to Butsudan.💐👴🏻👵🏻 That’s very interesting that each country has some traditions and there’re similarities between them.
Lovely. I always enjoy seeing Japanese construction, design and woodworking. Arrigatou gozaimshita! Vielen Dank!
Thank you for watching ☺️
