This is why I was glad to be living near Nagasaki and not Tokyo. I had a 2 story, 2 bedroom, 2 tatami room, full kitchen, dining room, huge shower room, laundry room and a fenced yard for 950.00 a month.
950.00 ? In USD ?
@@wistitawinaudri37 well it's not yen, that'd be like 10$
This makes me so excited for when I'm older and can move out, I'm only 16 right now so I still have to live with my parents but I want to move to Japan so much. This gives me so much inspiration!
I'm living in Japan and trying to vlog about it more soon after I get through my old footage, you probably need a Bachelors degree first to get a job here. Any Bachelors degree will do, then you can work as an English teacher and live here - then find a better job than an English teacher and make nice money in Japan. They'll try to trick you that your work visa only works for one company, but it doesn't you can change your job anytime.
Same here
Yep, you need a Bachelors in order to get a work visa and you need a work visa to be allowed to both enter the country and work in it. So yeah. If you want to be an English teacher any Bachelors will do, doesn't have to be in English or in teaching, it's a plus if you have some teaching experience tho and if you have some sort of a teaching certificate. I wish you all the best! ^^
My father’s been in Japan for 11 years now! You’ll miss your home after being there for so many years and he badly wants to go home but he said he still needs to work for us. Working means no work no pay so leaving for a day or a week is a big dent on your merits.
That’s great! You can totally do it! I recommend starting to save up a little now so you will be more comfortable. Schools are a good option or if u want to work there you may need to graduate from a 4 year university to get visa sponsorship! :) good luck!! Japan is so much fun.
You can use the google translate app camera settings to be able to read japanese writings in the heater controller
The Google translate app is just the one thing saving my grades XD I just told my sister about it since she is just bad in English and has a lot of English books to read at university, she looked at me like I was the man of her life XD
Actually I'd argue Naver's Papago is better for japanese
I can never get used to having only one stove hot plate. I really hope I can find an apartment in Tokyo with a decent size kitchen, cause I love cooking, and hanving friends over for dinner.
I personally have two and its sometimes a struggle, for example I always cook my vegetables and my rice/pasta together, and meat/sauce at the other side, even though I would like it better if I could cook everything separatly.
Did you have any luck finding what you wanted?
can't believe i hadn't seen this! such a cute and cozy space 😍 I love how you decorated it too
Thank you!! I love this apartment. Decorating it was so much fun ~
@@christy-anne-jones do you still live in Tokyo
You know when someone living in a big house is jealous of your house,
*It's amazing.*
Reminds me a lot of Emma’s old flat (Tokidoki traveler)
Re-watching all of your videos for both fun and for comfort. I had to put my mother on hospice care today so thank you for the continuous feeling of having a life-minded friend far away. Your content always help me through and puts me in a better mood. Also, love the new rainy writing vlog. Ultimate cozy, click-y vibes
I'm so, so sorry about your mother. I hope you're doing okay 💛
@@christy-anne-jones I'm not now, but I will be. Watching your videos helps to take me out of my brain, just like the best books do. Feeling less alone and a little less weepy. I also have a final tomorrow. Hopefully the gods of Academia are with me.
I'm living in a dorm from my university and my apartment also has 21 square metres but the ones in Japan are so much cuter! Your apartment is so cute and cozy :3
Japan: *has lowest crime rate in the world*
Also Japan: *has over 3 locks on a door*
I mean
Guess why crimes so low
@@gorey348 Small crime because the prisons hard and the sentences are high
Gorey just Gorey what do you want, my adress? Not really. In Japan you can leave your stuff in a public place and nobody will take it. Having lots of locks is not common and it’s not the reason for low crime rate lol
That price is amazing compared to rentals in Australia where I live it’s like $500 a week for a studio granny flat with no yard and no bill included, no furniture or anything and no where near as spacious and nice as this place
laura mcintyre gosh are you in Sydney?
1:07 Anyone else hear a whispered "hey" o.o
HAHAHAH omg how creepy. I think the audio's a little out of sync and it's the sound of the door opening to the shoe closet but still O.O
Oooohhhhh my goodness that is creepy!! Lol i didn't notice it art first. It happened before she opened the door though.... 😱
I swear my apartment isn't haunted 😭 but, really, I now think it's just me saying 'okay' or something as I'm opening the door
I NEARLY PISSED MY PANTS
Omg I wasn't expecting that to be so creepy. It wasn't just hey it was heyyyyy
The poster on the washroom door is a piece of art! Beautiful!
My daughter had an appartment in Tokyo. Similar size, but without the loft. She really could have used a loft, the ceiling was high enough, but her living space was a lot more cramped since she had to sleep there as well. Yours is ideal!
It's always hard to accept these prices as normal in my head. I live in a decent sized city (about 100k inhabitants) in germany and we pay under 400€ (~450$ish) a month with everything (water, heating, trash, tv) included for a 50sqm flat with a nice balcony plus a little compartment in the basement. Aaaand we are in the center of the city. It's shocking but interesting how prices for everything differentiate all around the world!
Also - your apartment is really cute. I would love to life in a flat with a little loft but thats rather uncommon here. Im glad you are enjoying it. Xx
Depends totally on the city. Freiburg, Munich and Regensburg for example are far more expensive
Wow that's such an expensive rent! Where I live, in Naples (Italy), you can get a 80 sq m apartment for 300-500€ depending on where it's located
I don't know how it works but rent as supposed to be adequate with the salaries of the people. I mean in Switzerland rent are very high, all cost a lot here, nothing is cheap, but salaries are high too so it matches.
Treka Double most salaries in japan are fairly low though. I think most people tend to live with their families to avoid high rent. Not uncommon for adults in their 30s to live with their parents.
Is it just me me but did anyone hear 1:07 someone well sounded like a man saying “hey” 😳 no? Just me ?
I heard it too.... kinda creepy ... lol
I heard it and had to replay to make sure I wasn’t hearing things. Creepy.
Absolutely heard it, loud and clear.
Sunny Sol I’m pretty sure she was just saying “sooooo” or her breathing.
Yup, heard it. When she opened the door to the shoe closet. It was the hinges. But yes, it was creepy sounding. Had to replay that section 3 times...
Not sure if you’ve figured it out by now, but that button besides the hot water one is for filling the bathtub. That’s right, since japanese people generally always bathe in the evening and it takes quite some time to fill the tub they will push that button right when they get home so that by the time they’ve taken care of their things, perhaps eaten dinner and gotten ready, the bath will be filled and ready. (You can find the same button in the bathroom, the upper-right one)
In my sharehouse in Kyoto that button was in the kitchen right by the dinner table. X)
Love your apartment tour video.👍💙
It's called a Security deposit. And yes, you get it all back at the end/termination of lease, if there are no damages to the property. It's normally a month rent (2/3 month rent from where I'm).
It's good that your rent includes internet. Can't live without it.
Cost of living is high in Tokyo. But seriously, living there is awesome (Pros beats Cons IMO).
Yeah one of the things, I think, that is difficult for me, is to constantly monitor my volume. I'm a loud person as per Japan standards. Hate to annoy my neighbors, right.
The buttons for the bathtub the red one is meant for making the water in the tub be warm not cold. U use it when u already hav water but the water is too cold and U want to warm it) sorry if my English is bad.im from Japan:)
I love your videos.
Thanks for sharing
I love your loft bed!!! Most are so hard to maintain because the frame of the bed is the loft, if that makes sense. But because yours is part of the building, with futons on top, i'm guessing it would be much more manageable. Love it!!
You have a really nice apartment! Especially for your location! And the "bond" is called a "security deposit."
Wow! This is the same size as my camper behind my truck. Epic!
Those fruit drops though 😭 Graveyard of the Fireflies feels 💔
You did good with this one! Looks lovely, I'm happy that you're happy x
Thank you, lovely xx
@@christy-anne-jones why do the Japanese have such tiny fridges
That price is incredible. That’s really cheap compared to a lot of cities in the USA >_
60 c is really hot for your water heater. Save yourself money and turn it down to 45. If you want boiling water coming out of your stink at some point just turn it up for a little bit.
Thank you so much for the tip! I'll be sure to turn it down a bit :)
I really love this video! I've been looking for an apartment in Japan, and I've seen a lot of apartments with lofts within my price range. I've been unsure of how I would like the loft but this video makes me feel a lot happier with the idea! Thank you for making this video! It really eases my nerves concerning my future apartment.
We live in a tiny apartment in Kiev, it is only 26 m2. Your ideas inspired us on making our own 1minute apartment tour.
In the US we call the bond a deposit. You put a deposit on an apartment and first and last months rent usually when you first move in. If you trash the apartment or don’t clean it before you move out then you don’t get your deposit back. I’ve only lost one deposit ever and it was for a place that required professional cleaning included carpet steaming and my choices were get it done myself or let them use the deposit for it. Since I was moving out of state more than a days drive away I let them have the deposit.
Ive seen some tokyo apartments that have a tub, and the control box has a button that fills the bathtub for you with hot water 😍😍😍
This may be a stupid question, but why do you need to turn the hot water off? Would it considerably increase the bills or some other reason?
At my grandma's place In Japan the other button on the hot water system is for filling the bathtub. It says oyuhari. Also fills your tub to whatever temperature you set it to.
I think I would gladly live in such thing like this. I especially like the idea of sleeping area being above everything else, it's supercool :D
As Ikea lover, I suggest you to make storage near the ceiling. Still have plenty room there
that thing on top of your cooking area is the exhaust fan you use while you cook so the apartment doesn't smell. just an fyi. lovely apartment! it's quite spacious and very clean considering it's in the middle. you got lucky!!
of Tokyo.
such a cute and compact apartment, I love it 😍😍 and you've decorated it so wonderfully and it seems so homely. I love how living in such a small space forces you to minimise clutter 😄💓
Thank you so much!! Hahaha yes, I like to call it 'forced minimalism' xx
I really liked the place and how you personalised it :)
and eventhough it might be too late, as you only live there for a certain period of time, please remember to regularly fold away your futon and air it on the balcony when it's sunny. otherwise it will get mouldy :(
and maybe find out, what the other buttons in the bathroom mean, because often there are built in ventilation systems so you can hang up your laundry in there and it will get dried as well as the room itself :)
When you live in LA and go to school in Long Beach, an apartment for $1058 sounds super affordable ): lmao
It's so relative to where you live! Back in my home town this price would have been ridiculous but here in Tokyo I think what we have is quite affordable. I can't imagine how much worse it would be in LA D:
I love your makeup. Blended well with ur beautiful face. And your apartment is so lovely and looked homey
I love the sumo fighter holding shoping bags XD such a lovely apartment! 😊
i love it omg!!! i thought it would be too small, but it’s just perfect. definitely my dream
Beautiful. Love it. Especially love the natural light in the living room.
We are Praying to get hot water heaters and toilets like this. They look 😎 cool and efficient.
Thank you for explaining all the details.
Excited to see you cook a meal 🥘 and watch every day like happen.
oml you're so adorable! ^^ Your makeup is really nice and I love your space. Seems so cozy!
You looked so excited in your thumbnail that I had to come see this vid
what a great space. I love the luggage tag on your suitcase
Graveyard of fireflies was so saddddd
Perhaps you've figured out by now what the "oyuhari" button does on your water heater control, but in case you haven't, I think it may be to maintain a steady temperature in the tub. A lot of the modern Japanese tubs have heaters built into the tub so the water won't go cold. I'm not sure what the "Hari" part means because there's no kanji though so it's just an educated guess
That candy is character from studio ghibli anime title gravestone of firely..and yes,the character like to eat the candy in that tin..its really really sad anime...u should try watch it
Just subscribed! Your video was very informative and somewhat relaxing!! Cheers from Vienna
Oh I really love your apartment! It’s so cozy and just what I like 💛
A bond in the us is called a deposit
Really cozy and lovely apartment. So envious of you 😍
Love your little hearthstone pillow! Your whole apartment is so cute
I both love and hate small spacea 😂😍 I love to make them work and give me what I need from a big apartment and fit them into a small space. But I also cant live small, Since Im kinda unstable and fall over easily and walks into stuff all the time so thats kinda bad ;/
But I have a tip for the echoing in the hallway atleast! You can hang a tensionrod with a pair of rblackout curtains infront of the frontdoor (on the inside ofc😂) and on the ”outside” of the door on top of the stairs, it will help cancle out noises from the apartment and from the neighbours! I have that always in my apartments, it is a really good way to insulate both sounds and help heat to stay in and cold to stay out from the stairwell!
You guys are pretty amazing to fit in such a tiny apartment! We live in Finland in a 44m2 flat and it still feels too small :D
what a nice place!! I'm traveling to tokyo in April, and I'm so excited!!!
This apartment tour was so cool. Thank you for sharing.
This is so so cute 😭❤️ I love all this
1:07 heeeeyyy but a dude tone oh well it can be your door or your voice saying ok but it's still kinda creepy 😂😨😂
This made me look up my last apartment when I was in college in Florida. 58 sq meters for $650 a month. It's much pricier now.
Wow this is the first apartment tour in a flat in Tokyo I've ever seen and really love how you have decorated the space :) thanks for sharing and will definitely go check out more of your videos! Love from India ❤
Thank you so, so much!
Hey Christy, going through your Japan videos 🤗 Do you mind sharing now the area you used to live in? And how much do you think it would be for one person in a tiny flat plus bills, in a good area? ❤️
is that a surface book 2? is it good? i’ve been thinking about buying one but they’re pricey ;;
It’s really cute and it’s better then being homeless . Be grateful for what you have .
It is a good price for such nice a place. Congratulations for the find. Great videography as well.
Which company did you rent the place from? I'm moving to Japan soon and I'd love to know which companies I should be considering!
Where in Tokyo can I find these types of apartments?? Im planning on moving there for a year or so and this one is awesome!! There perfect
Oooh, a frankie mag art on the door! Love it
What service did you use to find such a pretty apartment?
What was the company you used that didn’t require a guarenteer fee or key money fee?
What happens if u don’t turn the hot water off?
Yours is nicer I think, I just did a vlog about mine for 75,000 a month. It's nice that you have a total unit and privacy. But I think apartment prices here are comparable to big cities in UK and USA.
I love the tiny apartments in Japan and you have a nice cozy one 💕☺ I also love your accent and that you said washing powder haha so cute. Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you so much! 💕 hahahaha is there any other name for 'washing powder' except 'washing powder'?? My mind is blown. What do you call it? (Laundry powder?)
Hahaha I don't know about others here in the states but, we call it Laundry detergent or just Laundry soap =) I think washing powder is really cute tho and will say that from now on =D
A central place like that in London would cost more so I’d say you got a good deal 👍 thanks for the video
Which neighborhood was it and which leasing company did you use?
I was just going through apartment tours and accidentally clicked on the video of someone I went to high school with! I had to do a double take to make sure I had the right person because I didn't even know you make videos haha. Your house is super cute!
OMG CAITLIN HI
Hahaha hey!! Long time no speak :)
It’s really cute and I understand that it’s Tokyo, but damn.. how small is that!? I can’t get over the fact that I can buy a relativly big house for that price per months here in Canada. And the entire apartment is the size of my bedroom... and you’re sharing that with your BF as well!!
loved the way you filmed this ! your apartment looks great 💕
Aaah Thank you so much!
Hi! May I know where did you get the shelf/organizer above your sink?? Thanks!! :)
You have the most relaxing voice
I'm going to live in Japan in a few months. How much does this kind of apartmet cost?
This apartment is sooooo cute!!!! 😄😍
The "bond" is known as a deposit here in the states. It can be less, the same, or more than the rent.
Love the minimalist style of your apartment!! We used to live very close to Tokyo, but Saitama and paid the same for 80sqm. It was too big though and we had so much STUFF. I love our new place, smaller and cheaper and we got rid of so much. With two kids things accumulate over night 😅
I've been off TH-cam for a bit & this is the first video I watched getting back here. And what!!! This is such a cute little space! I love love love the vibes of your videos, Christy
Ahhh thank you so much, Montse! It is a lovely space. I feel so lucky to have it.
Aww this is such a cute apartment!!
This apartment looks so much better than the first one. I'm happy that you love it. And you keep it very tidy.
I don't think that ladder to the loft would cope with me though. It's a good job your are young and slim!
Thank you, Sue! Hahaha it's never usually this tidy but my boyfriend and I figured we had better spring-clean it for the sake of the apartment tour. And, yes, the ladder can be a bit cumbersome--Also, I get constantly worried I'm going to fall off it hahaha
Christy Anne Jones I can understand that. Ladders are not my favourite thing. I have forced myself to paint the outside of our house a couple of times. But it scares me. I can climb the ladder but I have a hard time taking my hands off to work when I'm up there.
Which agency/organization did you reach to find this place?
I know this video is pretty old, but did you have any issues with moving into a place with your boyfriend? Did they not give you any issues about him not being your husband? I know Japan and be pretty conservative when it comes to that kind of stuff.
its so CUTEEEE. minimal just how i like it i want to live in japan
Oh, if I had that loft bed thing, you bet I would be climbing out of the little window thing on the side...😅😂
Nice and simple! Like it!
Your apartment's so nice. How did you find your new apartment? I'm also going to stay in Japan for a couple of months and don't know where to start looking. Even the just the website would help. Thanks!
Did you find this apartment listed online? Me and my bf are looking into working holiday but cant find any nice apartments like this listed in tokyo
I stayed in nishidai too but my apartment was really good, it was quite far from everything though. I am staying in ikebukuro next year for 1 year thought and my 21m squared apartment is about $1200 AUD too
Everything is so high tech.
How did you find your apartment? Through a website like Gaijinpot, or did you go to realtor agencies? Thanks! :)
Its really expensive! But its also cozy and well decorated 👍
