What Rich Neighbourhoods in Tokyo are Like

Am i trippin or is that stevewilldoits intro song too?😂

綺麗な家！

Single Family House - Tokyo. Japan
What kind of people live in these houses ?
お金持ち /okanemochi/ Rich People
高級住宅街 / kou.kyuu juu.takugai / Luxury Residential Area.

I’m not an architecture guy, but that definitely looks brutalist

The "fortress style" one, where "the home was the wall", that's the one for me! Perfect for the zombie apocalypse &/or your every day reclusive living
Id hope to have a larger courtyard area. Obviously that would never be possible in Japan.

Now I understand why sunio have home in same neighbourhood as nobita in Doraemon.

I’m sure they’re cool homes, but boring

Watching how the real estate market is being manipulated in favor of some persons, I’ll advise we venture into other marketing options and look for other ways to invest that will be favorable to us.

bro that's cramped and expensive , who in the their right mind's would be buying this crap?

The rich neighborhood in Japan is like the rich neighborhood in the Philippines- actually. We call this neighborhood, "village".

Japan and Korea is a bad country to live 😂. You can buy bigger homes than those pathetic small ones😂 out of asia

Wow look how nice and clean it's in the neighbourhood.

Untuk soal tata kota dan perumahan, jepang juaranya🙏

I thought it was Steve will do it intro

So many electric wires everywhere

東京では必ずしも、高級住宅街にお金持ちが住んでいるとは限らないです。稀に高級住宅街の家よりも高価でかつ何倍も広い家を、普通の住宅街にあります。

In many countries architecture is used to shout about how rich and powerful you are. In Japan it is often used to hide wealth, create total privacy, and to turn its back onto the street. The very best of these even confuse you about where the entrance is! And that is why Frank Lloyd Wright was so successful in Japan (Honoured, in fact! His Hotel was the only building undamaged after the massive Tokyo earthquake!), and why many of his ideas were taken up in Japanese architecture. His influence is obvious across the country, even after the many decades since his death in 1953.

Japan has some strange ideas about zoning, but it does mean that buildings are not considered permanent, and as a result they are often cheaply built for a 30-year lifespan - after which its purpose will have changed, and so a new building goes up!

I admire Japan for many reasons, and one of them is because everywhere and everything is so clean. And the air is dirty. This in direct contrast to New Zealand, where we have rubbish all over the place, but the air is crystal clear, and fresh. Often visibility exceeds 200km! the truly baffles Japanese visitors to New Zealand who have never seen the Milky Way at night, and never been able to see an entire mountain range, and what's on the mountains.

Sadly the air quality in Japan means that colours are very washed out for most of the time. And I found this quiet depressing when I lived near Osaka many years ago. I found every Japanese person to be very friendly and helpful, everywhere I went - especially as a blonde-haired blue-eyed Caucasian. But not a place I would want to live, even if very wealthy.

Japan has a lot to offer, but not so much to an old disc golfer like me. :)

Fun fact : white people are more obsessed with Japanese culture than actual Japanese people 😂🤣

Video was great. It’s FEWER restrictions, not “less” restrictions! It’s less sugar, but fewer balloons! Make sense.

Nice video

Fascinating, I could marvel at the stylings of these homes and neighborhoods for hours. I think it's an interesting reflection of Japan's cultural values, more quiet, reserved, private, and in harmony with the surroundings. Even middle class homes in the US are the opposite, the home facade and front gardens are a display of status and individualism. Only similar neighborhoods I can think of would be the Hollywood Hills, where homes can be deceptively large from street view, but I think that might be more out of necessity from the natural terrain and winding roads.

On the opposite side to the Mejiro JR train station, there used to be a gate community for foreigners. Not sure its still there? My memory as a child was that they were quite large. Would like to know if those houses are so there, even if the wall isn't.

Any of those big homes were yakuza hq I wonder..

This is where the anime protagonist and his family lives.

I think you forgot Daikanyama, Komazawa area and also many areas in Meguro city Also, they are tend to prefer expensive condominium apartments (mansion in Japanese) now a days💞

Darn, Toronto real estate sucks. A million dollars gets you a tiny studio apartment. Here you get a whole detached home, nice.

The type of houses your ordinary best friend from college live in

Thank you for sharing.

:0

thought stevdoit gonna be in tokyo

Nice

"...This was to ensure an enormous amount of wealth didn't end in a concentration of a few families...." Do as I say, not as I do - USA

I’m moving to Tokyo only to have classes with that lovely teacher.

I would call that style "international brutalist". Think frank lloyd wright + kenzo tange

Home sweet home. Even though I have lived in Tokyo for close to two decades, there is always a new perspective to be had. Nicely made, and cheers!

Is this where they film Japanese shows?

i love tokyo i use to go every month before covid hit the last time ive been there was in auguest the people are so nice and would help you no matter what theyre very respectful and kind the place is very clean and everything is amazing i wish the entire world was like Japan scroll if your skeptical for whatever reason 🤨





























(yes i travelled there every month no im not rich we only pay about 60 dollars per person to travel since one of us works in an airline thus we get employee benefits theres a downside we can get stranded in any country at any time its called travelling standby which is why i got to go every month) now dont eat my face off angrily thanks 😊

Nice to know that the land prices in my country town in Australia are somehow more expensive than the richest suburbs in Tokyo.

Those "poor" area seems richer, cleaner and safter than average area in most of the other developed countries.
Real poor area is usually more dangerous, aggressive and depressing.
We have so much to learn from how Japanese people treat their society and their own life.

So they're waiting for the pedestrian crosswalk light even though there aren't cars at the time? That's so wholesome.

amazing make more videoooo rich house in japan i already subscribe ...

There's always moneyed people in Ginza.........

I have friends in Setagaya awesome area!

I love how the US implemented the rule of not accumulating generational wealth in Japan yet they do it themself driving the gap between poor and rich so monumental that even people who have work in the US have to use food stamps 🥴 this is from what I heard, I live in Europe so that’s a different story😅
