This is the most valuable house I´ve ever seen. And there is almost nothing to steal from it. That makes it pure art for me. The multi-million-mansions in Hollywood and LA can`t keep up with this. It´s simply beautiful!

Very nice house. But I was shocked about your comments about the kitchen, the lamp and the “reason” why taking shoes off. For me this sounded disrespectful. Japan has a bath-culture of thousands of years, in times where in Europe nobody washed themselves and the US didn’t exist yet....And yes there are hygienic reasons not to wear shoes inside the the house. Very interesting to be able to view a traditional house.

When we visit many temples, monasteries, mosques and many Spiritual sanctuaries, homes in oriental/Asia countries..... Everyone takes off shoes before entering. Yes, no wearing outdoor shoes once INSIDE... 🙏☯️🪷🛐🌻

The property and the houses are beautiful, but damn I seriously wish he knew more about it. I wanted to know more about the functions of the rooms, the history of the family or entity that owned it, who built it, the architectural designs, who that man is in the giant portrait, the meaning behind some of the decorations. Dude's just fumbling through the property making guesses about what's what.

7:45 大きいけどお風呂ではないですね。ただの睡蓮鉢か生活用水を井戸から汲んで貯めておく場所（非常消火用を兼ねる）か、もしかしたら水琴窟（水で音を奏でて楽しむもの）が近くにあったのかもしれません。あと窓ガラスですが外側は当時だと全て木戸であったと思われます。内側のガラスは当時は普通の障子か、飾り障子と思われます。ルームライトも新しいものです。古い部分を残しつつ少しづつ近代化していった建物で素敵です。

I’m in awe at this house. Just a beautiful, functional work of art and engineering.

Thanks KZread for algorithms… I’m interest in the rejuvenation of preserving these homes. This is a stunning home.

I’m inspired by your actions and initiatives to conserve the traditional houses. I’ve always wined about how Japan for better and worse lost the old fashioned traditional housings and technologies, but seeing you taking actions is very inspiring and I’ll do something myself to help conserve them!

The beauty of this house in its simplicity and materials is incredible. On an historical point of view, it would be a shame not to conserve it.

oh dear, I'm so obsessed with the rich Japanese culture. Such beautiful traditional architectural design of buildings.

I have never seen a westerner wearing a pair of geta, which you seem quite familiar with and comfortable in. The original owner of the house must have been extraordinarily wealthy man with exceptional taste. You may wish to present this gorgeous mansion as 豪邸 rather than 高級お屋敷.

Admire your efforts for conservation and ecology. Joetsu is a great area to ride around, and in summer I've met Japanese and foreign cycle tourists in Joetsu. The 日本海 (Nihonkai, Sea of Japan) coast of Japan has a special feeling and energy, ranging from blizzard storms with purple lightning and thunder that howl across from Siberia to long, fine, sparkling summer days.Russia, South Korea, North Korea and China are not far across the sea, and things from those countries frequently wash up along the beaches of Joetsu.

This video was randomly recommended to me and was quite the trip - enjoyable and made me giggle a lot. It does make you appreciate that there is a beauty to the the traditional housing

The butsudan in this house is truly something else. But understandable that this is a very rich persons house, the attention to housing the spirit tablets and pictures of the family would have been immense, so to minimize that would be very disrespectful. The reason why everything is gold is because it correlates with the belief in the Pure Land and the light of wisdom of the Buddha in Golden rays. Thanks for the tour.

Well, it's good to know I have inspired someone. Best way to conserve one is to get one and use it for its original intended purpose--a house!

Yes. Preserving the house but also really updating it to make it fit for 21st-century living. That will definitely be crucial going forward in order to attract actually Japanese people back to these old properties, even if they are outside of the cities. Let alone people immigrating from other countries. Thankfully, it does seem like some people are trying to do so. We just need the number to increase by the thousands.

Beautiful houses, very nice video 😊

Wow the house looks absolutely stunning

Great video Phillips san!

保坂邸素敵ですね❣️ 西脇邸は中越地震で壊れた部分が沢山あるので残っていれば広いお屋敷でした 保坂邸KZreadで見られてよかったです✨✨✨

Thank you for the amazing tour! Such a lovely house. Would love to retire to a quiet village in a house much like this.

Great show, thanks for shering

The house is stunning - I’d love an update ❤

Wow beautiful house.

Beautiful house ❤

beautiful house !

Ok let me say this.. the guest house looking that maculate! Its breathtaking! Honestly the Cuda (How closed captioning is spelling it) I'd love to have a simple home built like that. Each one of these homes has great appeal. So detailed and always a REASON to be made the way they are.

Good God, the crane landing just at they were walking by left me with my mouth agape. Wonderful video, good sir!

A fascinating video, very nicely done.

Good on you Chris. What did you do with the Jaguar??

It’s like having your home inside a greenhouse. Way ahead of it’s time. 👍🏻❤️

This is an awesome house, very 👍 nice!!!

車寄せだけでも人が住めるような豪華な家ですね。

beautiful. i will spend the rest of my life rebuilding one if I can

Those shades are beyond awesome 😀

tell me how do you find this house? and what city of this?

the guest house you showed at the beginning, would it be for sale?

Absolutely incredible.

planning on moving to Japan permantly later this year

It's just fabulous!

amazing video even though i thought i done great research i still found new info like the summer shoji that was brilliant. i grew up in the middle east where its so hot. i often wonder was it that hot in Japan. do those techniques work. still very smart and beautiful no doubt

beautiful beyond belief

I just wondering why is he wearing this outfit? Why he has to make so obvius that he is a explorer and is about to enter a florest XD lol

Fabulous

石曽根様、この間西脇邸を隅々まで案内して頂いてありがとうございました。願ったりかなったりでした。上越へお越しの際はぜひお立ち寄り下さい。

The... colonial... hat... but hey you're clearly super enthusiastic about the culture so I guess it must have been a fashion misfire.

was waiting to see the bathtub

Lovely.

Its sooo beautiful omg i love the brown shades so calm

What’s with the pith helmet, Morton Stanley?

立派な家ですね！

Lovely

I think it would be better with Plaster ceiling, stronger tones of brown and modern bathroom.

Maintenance costs must be insane?

Which camera do you use?

Mr. Chris I think you need to sit down and have a cup of green tea. The floor hall is called Engawa also all those sliding doors can change the room for a purpose and to tell you the truth what are you trying to explain to me?

So they used the green house principle that some rich people have done.

How do I find a place like this in Japan ?

I don’t like that carpet on the floor.

Everything is nice, but I just don't like sleeping on the floor all the time. In Japanese houses there is no bed.

Omg, he walks with barefoot outside then walks all over the house.

Why other people in the video shown faded

17:47 i am watching this video while on my toilet

I'm sorry but seen better Japanese house tours. Beautiful house restoration but Doesnt sound like this guy knows much about them. Was painful to listen to. 'Big entrance for cars.. no.. before cars.Ricksaws drop off here.' Like it's unusual for a house in an era of horses not to have a tall portico. No garage? would that be a stable then 🤔 It's lovely but it's only 100 years old, my home in the UK is over 180 years old😂 Even I know hallways are called Engawa.🙄
