Full Episode
Aiden, you got back from Japan like 15 minutes ago.
About. How long?
I mean, I landed like three hours ago.
And then by the time, oh, beautiful LAX. By the time I walked to the Uber parking lot, got into the Uber, and then got here, it was about 15 minutes ago. All right, well, I did just get back from Japan. And I thought it would be nice to pick a nice, exciting topic related to Japan.
And one thing that was going through my head a lot while I was there, because we actually went out into the countryside, and I've never done that before. I've been, or at least not in like mainland Japan. I've been to Hokkaido and I've done a little road trip like while it's snowing and I've been to Tokyo, but I've never been into like the countryside that you kind of see.
Do you consider yourself an honorary Nihongo?
No, I'm basically Japanese. We were calling Nick Yingling the chopped hus the entire time, if you know what that means, in Japanese the whole time we were there. We'll move on from that. A big headline that I have seen in our media in recent years is about how you can get free houses in Japan. Anyone can buy one. Literally one or zero dollar homes.
And the catch being that these homes are often very broken down, old, abandoned. But it did make me want to look a little more into why housing in Japan is so relatively cheap at a time when everywhere in the world, developed countries, big cities, prices of real estate are generally going up. People are getting priced out of living places. Yeah. And that's not like an American thing necessarily.
No, like Canada, Australia, UK. It's all over the world. So the first thing I took a look at was, and as you've explained to me in the past, is Japan had this gigantic asset bubble that like largely included real estate. When their economy was exploding, they went through this huge inflationary period of assets in the country. And then I think it was in like- 89.
