    This made a welcome change of content. The spy house would make a lovely countryside getaway once modernised with investment and definitely needs car parking availability! A constant of the universe is just how much more you get for your money in places like Atami. Good luck with your property quest Andrew. Hope you both had a fab spa day. P.s. Nice car Meng - handy for picking up guys and yes the masked agent was definitely hot!

    I would've loved if Meng vlogging the process of getting a car in JP. I know getting loans as a foreigner can be difficult, also I've heard taxes for cars are sooo expensive here. I love shopping for cars.

    Very entertaining. I enjoy watching two friends, nice guys, go about their lives. Second realtor was definitely hot. I look forward to your next episode of House Hunters!

    A second house? Living a bougie life!😅 Loved the 'spy house' what an amazing view, fully renovated would be an amazing place to live.
  • @daveydoo3173
    Found this really interesting to look around the houses and see further into Japanese life.. And yeah i always do airbnb .. I'm cheap 🤣🤣
  • @jasonlee7225
    Location is key for rental investment, since everything else can be fixed (with money 😜) Good luck to finding your dream place! I am visiting Tokyo during golden week, and rewatching all your old video for ideas right now 😄

    I’m in LOVE with the 4th house. It reminds me of a tree house. But I agree, earthquake wise makes me nervous, and if it’s hard to get to it wouldn’t be worth it. But that balcony viewwwww 🥰😍🥰😍

    I really loved this video! Compared to New Jersey here in the US, these prices were incredible! The first house had my heart, and I never wavered, although the last one with the mountain feel came close. I hesitated due to earthquakes and mudslides, but the location was beautiful. It did need a bit of updating, so #1 stayed my pick, that view was stunning! I agree with Ming, the "grandma" house creeped me out, even though I'm a grandma, lol! It was too dark and lonely feeling. Your second realtor WAS a cutie, btw! Thank you for this video!
  • @MikeEPerez
    Augh!! I want one! My husband and I have been considering getting an akiya because sometimes we just want to get out of Tokyo. I've just been worried about being in an area that is too rural. But Atami looks pretty nice!

    The fourth house literally reminds me of The Grudge house! I was expecting Kayako to emerge at any minute. Super spooky and dark. That segment felt like a found footage horror movie :P
