  • Get an idea of what some of these Japanese homes air like.

  • Now we're staying in this one right here.

  • This is the bait.

  • A to sign up there just tells you exactly where you are.

  • House.

  • And I think it was like about 20 20,000 yen tonight, or about $200 a night.

  • But because of discounts, I guess the people who got this for me got some kind of a discount.

  • But you have to take your shoes off here, leave them here.

  • If you go outside, they give you some wooden sandals.

  • If if you just want a simple access.

  • If you some people who smoke you can't smoke inside of the a part of the house.

  • Or if you wanna just have a drink on the balcony, you can get those wooden sandals here.

  • Let me pan across.

  • Beautiful, isn't it?

  • Wooden floors?

  • Um, the Japanese natural colored walls, the texture.

  • It's kind of a unearthly color with some of the wood.

  • This is a hinoki, which is a Japanese cedar.

  • Before you go to the main room right up here, I'm gonna take you in this room, which connects up to there.

  • This is the bedroom, the tatami room.

  • Mine is the one that looks disheveled right there.

  • And yeah, it's just a really pretty to Tommy room.

  • It's got a Japanese light in here sloped ceiling.

  • So you have you have a feeling of a larger room in there and these shoji paper sliding doors which finish it off.

  • There were extra photons in inside the closet there.

  • So if you do get cold at night, you can always get it.

  • And I like the little little decorations in the wall.

  • Make it more, make it more personal.

  • It's the hallway that we walked on.

  • So I'm now in the big main room here, and you can see, um, how the rooms were separated.

  • The hallway here and then the sleeping room, which is typically onto Tommy because it's softer to sleep upon.

  • Then, on a wooden wooden floor, let me take you into here.

  • This door that's will slide open is the toilet and very nicely done here.

  • Wood paneling, wood siding with the same natural colors, this one white.

  • Actually, it's a different color than outside here, and it's an older style toilet, but it works just fine.

  • There's a sink in their toe.

  • Wash your hands, but that is not the main sink.

  • That's the toilet sink, so you could brush your teeth in there.

  • But I think more people we'll use that toe wash after doing a duty.

  • And now I'm in the main room.

  • Let me let me take a step out.

  • Having no, I'll do it for presentation here.

  • There you go.

  • I'll splicing a shot of the river right here so you can get a a zoomed in view.
