日本の家とアメリカの家は主に類似(mainly similar)。日本の家はコンパクト。そして、日本のは異なる材料からなります(made of different material)。
Based off of the video, it seems as though, in essence, homes from both countries are similar, it is largely style and organization that differs drastically. Exceptions to this are mainly the mudroom and bathroom. I know many American houses have mudrooms, but they are usually in the back of the house and are used by the family of the house more than guests. So long as your shoes are not disgusting, most Americans do not mind if you wear shoes in their homes. In Japan, the mudroom is used by everyone and is the entrance to the home. I do not know this for sure, but based off of this difference, I assume Japanese people prefer to keep their house clean so that they do not need to clean up as often whereas Americans probably do whole house cleanings much more often. I know that my family cleans our house at least once a week. The bathrooms of Japanese homes are just radically different from American bathrooms in so many ways. Our baths go largely unused (if there are any). Our showers, baths, and toilets are all in the same room, but are separate entities. In Japan, the toilet has its own separate room and the shower and bath are a combined entity (at least more so than in America).
American homes are pretty diverse. Generally speaking, however, they all have a kitchen, office(s), dining room, living room(s), bedrooms, and bathrooms. The kitchens are similar to Japanese kitchens, though they are generally less compact and the appliances differ a bit. I know a surprising number of people with rice cookers, but you could generally say we do not have them in our homes. Depending on the size of the house, there are multiple "living" rooms for generally hanging out or socializing. They can have many different names like "play room", "family room", "media room", or just "living room". よく、リヴィングルムにテレビがあります。リヴィングルムは大きいへやです。 I did not notice any office-like rooms in the Japanese home, so I do not know exactly how to compare it. Essentially, it is just a room for doing work. オフィスにコンピューターと机があります。そして、オフィスはちさいへやです。 Our bedrooms are our own personal rooms and differ greatly depending on the person and family. ベッドルムにベッドと机とコンピューターがあります。
