It's a family of two with two kids. I guess it's like you're like kind of standard family.

日本の一般的な家族がどうんな感じで暮らしてるのかを紹介すっぞ

In fact, I'm getting to the age where a lot of my friends have families.

大人二人と子供二人の家族だ

So, why not go check out their house, and have a little barbecue? I brought some beer.

よくある感じの家族って感じだろ？

I brought some corn. I brought some chips for the kids. It's kind of like Cheetos.

正直、おいらの歳だと周りがみんな家族を持ち始めてんだよな

All right, let's check out what's inside!

だからせっかくだし、お家を訪ねてBBQでもしよかなって

This is my friend's wife, Haruka, a mom of two kids.

ビールとコーンを持ってきたぞ

Hey!

あと子供たちにお菓子も

And this is my good friend, Yohei. He's a surfer and a skater and his bones are always broken,

チートスみたいな感じのやつだ

but today he's all healed up. And his son Yotoro.

よっしゃ、中見せてもらおうぜ

You might be surprised that it looks completely new on the inside

友達の奥さんのはるか

but that's because it was renovated before they moved in. Their house has two stories with an attic and a basement

２児の母

and where I'm hula-hooping is a living room.

これは仲のいい友達のヨーヘイ

You don't see a lot of these basement areas in houses in Japan.

サファーでスケーターでさ

Especially In the middle of Tokyo where we are now. This is actually the size of some people's apartments in Tokyo.

骨がいつも折れてんだ

This is great. Can you show us around?

でも今日はピンピンしてる

In a japanese house, you don't have a lot of space. In fact this place has a lot of space.

あとヨーヘイの息子のヨータロー

But one thing that I really like is this. Check this out --

家の中がめっちゃ新しくて驚いてるだろ

Wow, cool!

住み始める前にリノベをしたからなんだ

This is Haruka's workspace as a graphic designer.

ここん家は二階に屋根裏と地下がある

I love Japanese and how efficient they are with their storage systems.

おいらが今フラフープしてんのはリビングだ

So this is like your typical Japanese kitchen.

日本だとこーゆう地下室は珍しいんだ

I'm gonna show you what's around.

特に今いる都心ではな

You have your sink here, it's quite big.

東京だとこのくらいのサイズのアパートに住んでる人もいるぞ

You've got a stove here, and it has one, two, three stoves.

サイコーだな

Japanese kitchens usually come with this type of grill.

ここ案内してくれるか？

It's small because it's specifically made for fish since grilled fish is served quite often in Japanese home cooking.

日本の家は普通広いスペースがない

Usually every household has at least one rice cooker, a microwave, and an oven toaster.

ここの家はいっぱいあるけどな

Oh, I totally forgot to introduce you to the cutest one Tai-chan. He's such a cutie!

でもさ、おいらが気に入ったのはここ

This is like your standard toilet here in Japan

見てろよな

It's very like very common to have the toilet and then you have the faucet.

ここははるかのスペース

But once you flush, the water comes out and you can actually wash your hands.

グラフィックデザイナーとしてのな

Water that you used to wash your hands actually fills the toilet.

日本はこういう収納が効率的なところがいいよな

Which is pretty ingenious if you ask me, it saves a lot of water instead of flushing and then using the sink.

これは日本の標準的なキッチンだ

And then here, you have the bidet. It has all of the washing features you can adjust like the strength then the heat and all that stuff and

何があるか見せるぞ

Then you can also warm the seat. Pretty cool if you ask me!

ここはシンク、結構でかいな

This behind me is the washer and dryer set.

ここにはコンロがある

Some of these houses have dryer and the washer all in one, but in this case you have

１、２、３口

Washer at the bottom and you have the dryer at the top.

日本のコンロはよくこのグリルがついてる

Having a door intercom system is very common in Japan so you can see who's at the door.

魚用のだから小さいんだ

Look at Yohei's cool studio. He turned this storage room into his own secret room. So awesome!

日本の家庭料理では焼き魚がよく出るからな

Now let's check out the second floor

どの家にも大体、最低一個の炊飯器と

It's actually not really polite to look around people's bedrooms in Japan

電子レンジとオーブントースターがある

But Yohei is super chill and was kind enough to show us around

あ、めっちゃ可愛いやつ紹介すんの忘れてた、たいちゃんだ

It's big!

めっちゃ可愛いだろ

This is what they use as their guest room. This is your standard tatami mat, very very traditional Japanese.

これが日本によく見るトイレだ

Dude!

トイレとワシュレットがついてるのはよくある

We're all the way to the top. I'm sweating so much. It's so big up here. I'm hot!

流すとこうして水が流れて手が洗えるんだ

It's like a sauna up here, you can actually use this as a sauna and sit up here and

手を洗うのに使った水がトイレを流す水に使われるんだ

sweat all day. And then you put towels, and then you can do hot yoga. It's so cool!

天才的だろ

What's cool about this place, too?

流して、別のシンクで手を洗うのより節水できる

It has this back patio area. You can actually have a barbecue here. Luckily there's no neighbors around.

あとここ

It's one of the biggest things here in Tokyo - they get really really angry when you fire up the barbecue

ビデとか他の洗う機能がついてる

And they're window is right next to you, but luckily there's no neighbors around this area.

強さとか温度の調整もできる

Well there's neighbors, but they just don't have any open windows.

あと便座も温めれるんだ、イケてるだろ

So what I showed you earlier

この後ろに見えるのが洗濯機と乾燥機

Is that they actually have, you know, the washer and dryer?

洗濯機と乾燥機が一緒になってるやつもある

But a lot of times they don't use it and so they have these hanger areas.

でもここは下に洗うのがあって、上に乾燥するのがある

And look, they even have a pool!

インターコムがドアにあるのも日本は結構一般的だ

Hello!

そしたらドアに誰がいるかわかるからな

Now let's just enjoy the barbecue

ヨーヘイのいい感じのスタジオだ

How's it looking? What's your favorite place about your house?

収納部屋をクールな秘密の部屋に作り変えたんだ

My studio.

やべ〜

We just finished the corn. Look at how it looks so good!

次は二階を見に行こうぜ

That kind of rounds up the whole tour. This is just like life in Japan

日本では、人の家で寝室を見るのは嫌がられるんだけど

This is how we this hang once in a while.

でもヨーヘイは優しいから見せてくれたんだ
