Past simple

In this video I wanted to share with you some of my favorite technologies in a Japanese home.

Basic quantifiers

So as many of you know, I've recently moved in my new Tokyo apartment

In fact, I've already done a full tour of this entire apartment

So if you want to see that check out the links in the description.

But one of the things I didn't fully cover was the technology used in Japanese homes,

so in this video I wanted to highlight some of the technologies that I think are pretty cool in a Japanese home and some of

You may be familiar with some of these Japanese technology is or you may have it in your home country.

But they still made a list because I think they're pretty awesome. Either way in the comments. Let me know what country you're from

As well as things that you really really like and finally before I start if you want to see what I'm doing on the daily

if you wanna help support the channel check out the Tokyo merch and if you have any questions about Japan and definitely check out my

Discord community. So without further ado. Let me show you some my favorite Japanese home tech

Let's talk about the built-in intercom system

Video this intercom system lets you see who is at the main entrance on the first floor

But it also has some pretty cool unique features that I didn't mention in the other video

The first thing that I thought was pretty cool is that when someone comes to the first floor?

Rings the bell and you're not actually in the house

it will record on SD card and the video footage that

Actually appeared on the screen and not only does it act as an intercom system

first of all if you have any water leaks in the house

It'll notify you on the system in addition

You can press this button right here and I'll notify your neighbors that there's actually a fire and at the same right if your neighbors

Have a fire inside of their home and they press that button. It'll notify you here on the display

This is pretty cool an intercom system also has an emergency button

But you should never really press but just in case something happens and you need to call security

You can press this button right here, and they'll come up and finally the intercom system has its own

Built-in home security meaning that you can disarm and arm it when you want when you armed the security system

And say if someone tries to come through the front door, it'll automatically call security for you

And in fact been testing all this stuff out

I made a mistake and I actually tripped the alarm and the security company came here and made sure that everything was okay

So yeah, super surprised about this intercom system

It was actually more than I originally thought it was so another thing that I love about the Japanese apartments

Is that some of them have delivery boxes on the first floor?

It's probably one of the most useful things you can have in your apartment and something that I just really

I order a lot of stuff online especially places like Amazon now when you're not home the delivery person can actually just put your package

Into the delivery box and then whenever you return that box is waiting for you to pick up

it's actually pretty nice about this particular system here at this apartment 1 it'll actually

Notify you at the intercom system that I showed you earlier that there was a package

Actually delivered also another feature of this delivery box system is that you not only can receive packages

send packages out meaning that if you want to give a package to someone or like a friend and you're not actually here at your

Home you can put it in the delivery box and then set a pin code for them to pick up the package and finally this

System has this one more feature. I've actually personally never used it myself

So basically if you have dry cleaning you can use a system to send and receive your dry cleaning for you

Which is definitely not absolutely necessary, but it's one of those cool things to have

So yeah, I personally like the system but what do you guys think?

So this next one is quite unique to Japanese homes that built in fish grill, basically in the center console right here

you have a tray that you can pull out and this tray right here is where you put the fish and just

Below it. You actually have a tray when you're supposed to fill in with water

So the fish doesn't burn so once you've closed it

All you need to do is press the button like so and just at the bottom you can set the time

1 3 6 9 or 12 minutes and just right above you have these burners that will cook the

It's rather simple but a lot of Japanese people who often cook fish find this very useful

So this next one is probably given but still one of my favorite technologies in that Japanese house

So a lot of you already know that many Japanese houses come with a Japanese toilet meaning it has that a day and wash let

Feature so features like being able to adjust the temperature of the stream or the strength of the stream is all pretty standard

But this particular toilet has an actual button to remove odor in addition to that

It actually has a dryer feature which you can set from low medium and high

Which I guess solves the problem if you run out of toilet paper or you don't want to use toilet paper at all

And finally for those of you who often forget to flush it

Automatically flushes for you when you're done

So before we continue I wanted to give a quick shout-out to our sponsor Mobile Japan sim because of sponsors like mobile

They're making life a little bit easier for myself, Maiko and the baby

I know that many of you aren't able to travel to Japan at the moment

But this is something to consider for your future travels

Mobile Japan sim is the best way to get your mobile devices

Connected when coming to Japan and the Sims are suitable for both the short trips as well as longer stays when using mobile you can

easily navigate to all your destination spots

Transport links translate menus or phrases or even update your social media with all the cool things you're doing here in Japan

So quickly here are my top reasons why you should get a mobile SIM card for your trip to Japan

Number one mobile offer free worldwide shipping directly to your front door two

You can also choose to pick up the sim when you arrive at any major airport or city

And it's also free three great coverage. They use the same network that I personally use on a daily basis Softbank which covers a

99% of Japan's population for they have english-speaking customer support and five a majority of the profits go to charity

So get your mobile Japan SIM card today by clicking on the link below and always stay connected while you're in Japan

So this next one is not as technologically advanced as some of the other things in this video

But I think it's pretty smart in its own, right?

so if you have ever been in a Japanese apartment or an apartment in your home country and you've had the door slam all of

A sudden or if you try to open up the door and it's really hard to open then you may have this issue

Basically, what's happening is that there's a lot of air pressure that's building up in the room

This is because maybe you're running kitchen fans while you're cooking or maybe you're running ventilators in the bath

So doing this while having all the doors and windows closed in your apartment builds up a massive amount of air pressure

So in order to alleviate this a lot of newer Japanese apartments started installing these air vents

So the technology itself is very simple, basically

It's a hole in the wall with a filter in the middle and just on the inside of this wall

You have this little opening. So for example, it starts off closed you press it

Once it opens up a little bit and then press it a second time

It opens up a little bit more and then you press it a third time and then it opens up all the way
