TATEMONO TANBOU: House Paradise
This TV program is an architectural TV show that introduces private homes from all over Japan.
To buy or build a house is said to be a big event in one’s life and also the most expensive shopping in one’s life.
Everyone will probably think “As it is a once in a lifetime event, I’d like to realize all my dreams …”
And how the dream house will look depends on their hobbies, their longings for foreign cities, their love for their family, or love for their pets….
We have been introducing “the different points people focus on when building their own house” for nearly 25 years.
This is one of the longest-running programs of TV Asahi.

Tsuru Pika Hagemaru
Hagemaru Hageta and his family like to conserve on everything. Their incredible abilities to cut back, scrimp and pinch a penny cause a lot of comical commotion in this gag-filled anime.
