In LA you'd get a closet and that closet would have roaches and those roaches would not want u in their closet.
jungefrau lol yeah or you’d have to share a room

Diva Damn!

The level of logic Japan has for daily living is insane, they really take into account the simplest of things and apply efficient and effective solutions like the locking system and umbrella rack. And it's hyper clean, so pleasant to live. Damn Japan is really an intelligent country.
arvin cabugnason There’s some things I wish they had but overall, those little things that you pointed out make a big difference. It’s great.
@@barrettish yes wish we have it in the Philippines, minimalist efficient peaceful apartments
what locking system and what umbrella rack? most places have some kind of security lock system. the difference is not that extreme as you make it sound.
Have fun with your 1 hour a day internet limit
@@imnotagamer22 who has 1 hour day limit
The apartment of every slice of life main protagonist. I’d love to live in an apartment like this. There’s something about that tiny but cozy look and feel that I find super satisfying.
Yeah, I wished it were a bit bigger but it’s got everything a person really needs. Plus to be able to have it in a city like Tokyo, can’t complain about too much I guess.
This is where u escape ur parents house and I would love to live here by myself these apartments over in the us is 950 apartments but are not worth it
@@joeku2004 Damn where do you find apartments for $950. Where I'm at they're like $1200+ minimum.
that's because it's in central tokyo, an alpha global city, if such an apartment is in a rural small city, it probably would be less satisfying lol
Exactly but I wouldn’t wanna pay $950 (USD I’m assuming) on rent for a small place
Tokyo is probably the most reasonably priced world class city. Everywhere else (San Fran, Manhattan, Toronto, Sydney, etc) that place would cost at least 2k and have a huge waiting list.
You might be right actually. It’s not cheap but some of those cities are almost unaffordable.
Paris is cheaper. Berlin too I think, but don't take my word on it.
But I'd take Tokyo over Paris any time of the day...
In India you would get same apartment for around 500$
@@taekookieshthings6857 but then you’d have to live in India...
@@AJ_91 Seoul is cool but it’s not Tokyo/London/NYC. I see Seoul like Philadelphia
I dont care how small something is as long as its decently nice
CloudBurst Yup and decent quality
I wish my ex-girlfriend tell me that.
CloudBurst right...I started thinking about tiny house
@@bahamut149 💀💀💀😭😭😭😭😭

Looks like a room straight out of a slice of life anime. The outside and everything.
Because most anime is inspired by everyday life of Japanese. Specially slice of life kinds of anime or manga.
It's the other way around lmao. Those rooms are inspired by these irl type of rooms
I very much enjoy the aesthetic of exposed terrace and front doors iconic in Japanese Architecture.
American apartment buildings so often look and feel like prisons.
Slice of Life replicating actual Life to some degree. Colour me shocked friend.
@@Cpt_JohnRackham pretty much every apartment in Tokyo looks like this, lol.
4:00 Screw the apartment I’m more interested in this O_O
It’s a pretty cool design. I put links in the description of similar items I found if you’re interested
sorcery... o.o
Ow!
Its one of their most basic design in my country actually..
@@barrettish links to Amazon US (or whatever country you linked) don't work for some people outside of the US, unfortunately. Could you tell me the brand or what it's called? :)
That apartment is nice as hell. Here in South Florida, you'd get something similar but in a roach infested apartment building that looks like it hasn't been renovated since the 80's.
Oh man. I haven’t been there but sounds like a lot of US cities unfortunately. I definitely wouldn’t be able to find a place like this for the same price where I’ve lived (Honolulu, LA, SF).
Dang that sucks, I lived up in Panama City Beach and got 2 bed/bath in a gated community by the water for just over 1k only a year and a half ago.
I am renting an entire house in The city in MN for 1200.00 /month but I have to pay utilities so it’s a bit more, 2 bedroom, 1 bath a garage and basement and deck. But it is a very old house from 1900 and so things are not new. However, it is right in the middle of the city, stores within walking, main downtown 6 min away, gas station and bank 1 block away, train station 2 blocks away, bus 1 block away, etc. so convenience makes up for the really old house.
@@AKayfabe sounds awesome
What are ypu on about?
My gf and I had a super nice one bedroom in Miami for about $750.
I had moved there from LA so I was amazed.
Florida is STILL cheap, I just looked at the cost of living there this week. I was thinking of moving back.
I would actually be overjoyed to get something like this for this price in Toronto Canada.
Yeah I’ve been hearing Toronto is pretty expensive...
That is expensive though.
same but in San Francisco
I read that Toronto is more expensive than LA and New York and almost as expensive as London. So stupid.
@@billjohnson2081 It sure seems that way. Finding a one bedroom for under $1500 that isnt a basement is near impossible.
I’d rather have that than have roommates. Living by yourself is pretty damn nice.
arealbigboss Same here, I’ll sacrifice some space to have everything to myself.
Yea I never had any luck with decent roommates, I'll stick to my cat's.
yank1776 haha yeah roommates can be pretty hard
@@barrettish but you also have to pay more for it too
MrWalker1000 Yup
I told myself “yeah it’s small but it’s modest, I don’t own a lot so I could totally live there” but then I realized that I’m an entire foot taller than the average Japanese male and I wouldn’t fit on the bed
Height gets to me sometimes too. My bed’s from IKEA so not a Japanese bed.
@A. P. Heffel I'm 6'6" and went to Japan a couple of years ago. Banged my head more than a few times too... had to book a western style hotel for a queen sized bed and still barely fit in that.
DARKSEID My father developed severe, debilitating sciatica living in Japan for over 30 years. He was 6'3" and the doctors he saw for it all said he developed the sciatica because he had to constantly bend his neck. It's not a comfortable country for anyone over 5'11" tall. Interestingly, the Japanese get taller and taller every decade, but doorways never get higher. It's a huge physical impediment.
@@DARKSEID76 6'6"?? Tf bro, what do you eat??
So I'm exactly 6' tall. Would I suffer any inconvenience in japan?
Japan is always so clean. Even for things that aren't as "upscaled". I love Japans priority with cleanliness.
Yes for sure. It’s great to have simple necessities like a decent public restroom.
It’s a facade it’s not in. Lean in japan it’s just that garbage duties are shared in each community but generally Japanese are dirty
@@sliduyzamnoyu I'm sure there are areas that aren't ad top notch as others, but Japan is sti far cleaner than most places. Some of the nicest places in the states still aren't as clean as other parts in Japan.
@@AssassinKillua15 you really dont know much of Japan
Him: the kitchen is rediculously tiny
Me: omg his Tokyo kitchen has two burners? Living large
SEM MHUA Yeah it was fine for me. I feel that Japanese kitchens are on average pretty small though, considering how many dishes are normally prepared in a Japanese meal.
@@barrettish You got a point there. So how does one prepare many dishes with a kitchen that small? There's no space to put anything. I'd be preparing cup noodles, fried rice or rice with only one simple dish with that space. 😂
Ridwan That’s probably what many do... or it’s rice, soup and maybe 1-3 small dishes since it’s only one person. Still wish there was another shelf or something at least.
Damn and I thought my kitchen was small, I’ve got four hobs tho (only three work).
Omg okay but that toilet paper thing was basically magic haha
Makes it so easy! haha
Why can't we have that EVERYWHERE?!
It is! How does it work?
When I saw it, I was 😳 I'm gonna look for one now
@@Kumi12341 two short prongs on each side that goes up when you push from below.
A lot of people say that apartments like this are too small or too tiddly. Of course, it is not appropriate for raising a family in there but for students etc. more than enough. Personally, I would enjoy living in such a small place. You have everything what you need and the minimalistic layout makes it impossible to buy stuff which you won't need anyway. I hope you enjoy your apartment!
Thanks! Yeah, I agree. Of course it'd be nice to have a bigger place but to be able to afford living on your own in a big city like Tokyo as a student or young person in their career, it's pretty good.
This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Your video taught me a lot about the culture in Tokyo. I hope I get the opportunity to visit Tokyo now.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I’m trying to make move videos that just show regular life here. Hope you get to visit some day!
This is honestly my dream apartment, it’s tiny, cozy and cute. Perfect for a minimalist lifestyle!!
Ruamma Tanon It’s not too bad. Glad you liked it!
Super agree, i like small, cozy, clean and nice place like this, but i hate city so nope, i love suburbs more
True. Same for me
It's expensive in a long run
@@nightowl2282 it's Tokyo
It's a lot nicer than I expected it to be for only $950!
Nameless Noyb Yeah! In Tokyo though, it’s a little bit on the expensive side for a studio, but compared to cities in the US, good deal!
jacob kanal Yeah. San Francisco is probably at least double, and it’s not for a nice place.
Barrett Ishida San Francisco is very toxic (some of the people, homeless people etc.) mr. Barrett what do you work with, If u dont mind me asking. 🇩🇰
jacob kanal Yeah I don’t mind visiting but I don’t care to live there again. It’s crazy nowadays. I work in marketing at a Japanese agency.
@@barrettish Same in Vancouver, BC!
oh, now i have to move to japan. thanks a lot, sir.
lol it's a good experience. Thanks for watching!
@@barrettish im just now seeing this video and haven't seen anything from you before. But your video made it onto TH-cams algorithm! But im curious if youre American living in Japan or was born in japan and came to America and went back, but my question is, how does a foreigner obtain a work visa to come and work and live in japan? Aside from English teaching, but anything else?
this reminded me that i always wanted to live by myself in a nice cute place, it looks really sweet!
It’s not bad at all for city living on your own!
Is no one gonna talk about the magic toilet paper?
Hannah Thacker haha yeah I love it!
I thought they all use water to clean their assholes
@@Golden2Talon Another reason for the pullout spray nozzle from the sink ;)
Witchcraft!
Golden2Talon Bidets seem pretty helpful though (apparently they have them in Europe too?)
For
That’s how I feel. And Tokyo is huge city densely populated so it’s great that they can make it relatively affordable.
@@artakbars Chill out bro
@@artakbars Bro, wtf. Go away.
Shakir Akbars It sounds like you’ve read Western headlines, don’t have much actual context and are doing comparisons to places that are completely different in space, population, and economically.
Yep in London England you won't get a closet for that price, seriously lol
This is amazing bro, keep up the absolutely incredible work!! I hope that you’re doing well now!! Blessings to you, and those of you who are and the comments as well.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Your apartment is actually pretty nice! Making the tiny living space work for you amazes me!!
Thanks! It took some adjustments and getting used to, but pretty decent for a big, compact city!
in nyc that would be $2k in a crappy building
mauricio flores NYC’s prices are crazy. High demand I guess
In Houston,that apartment wouldn't exist.its too small.
Polo Polo You’re probably right. More space and small population comparatively.
@@barrettish The demand is kinda artificial but eventually becomes the reality. Make it seem like a really hip place to be, and people come, when people come more people come, because those people from before are there. NYC is also like 1/3 the size of Tokyo and won't be expanding anytime soon and all the new developments cater to wealthy upper class types to attract them even more which attracts more people maybe hoping to get noticed by them. This basically means if you're not rich you're going to be miserable and likely grinding for very little to spend on things that will be priced out of your ability soon enough. It's insane and idk when this system is going to finally collapse.
Cafelogis Pretty much, but if NYC is like Tokyo, there’s a huge difference in available jobs and careers open compared to smaller areas. Unfortunately, your money doesn’t go as far so it’s up to each person to consider the balance in that.
I just wanna say I really appreciate how you reply to pretty much every single comment on your videos, even one with so many comments as this one! That's pretty rare
Thanks for watching! I try to get to as many as I can... I figure if people spend time to watch and comment, I should try to acknowledge them.
@@barrettish is there internet in your apartment?
@@mehchocolate1257 No answer to that comment!
Cool apartment! I really enjoyed this video.
Thank you for watching!
Perfect size for one person. Love the clever features! Thank you for sharing your video.
Yeah not bad for big city living. Thanks for watching!
Japan is clean, efficient, beautiful, and peaceful. With access to the most amazing technology on earth.
It is. Unfortunately with the technology part, it's often slow to be adopted by the general public which is one reason why many are struggling at the moment to implement working from home.
fuck off idiot! IDK where do you live. Good luck!
Malik Narayanin In most cases no. Even during the semi-lockdown we had, a lot of companies didn’t fully adjust to allow it. Japanese work culture is very in-person, even their processes require physical approvals and what not. Luckily my company is more flexible than typical.
Maybe beautifull from the outside not not from the inside..
And dead with overwork
So basically Bruce Willis' apartment in "The Fifth Element", got it
Andynonymous City is similar
I was totally waiting to see the autowash function and bed wrapping
I really loved that view from the balcony!
Me too
Yeah, got that feeling of being in the city!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!! ☺️❤️
Thanks for watching Cynthia!
New Yorkers, including myself, can only dream~
Yeah definitely can’t get this for the same price in NYC
@@barrettish In general you cannot find small apartments easily in New York; since so many buildings were built so long ago and all the new buildings don't care to make affordable housing so make them just as big. I think it could solve a lot of housing issues here, if we took on the efficient/minimalist apartment design of Tokyo.
Juju Garcia Yeah for sure. I also find that apartments in most US cities are geared to couples or families, so it’s more likely to live with roommates. I hope they do figure out how to make it affordable for people to live in their own spaces - and afford it. I actually don’t know how they manage to do so in Japan...
Yeah I remember watching an apartment tour of a Manhatten studio... It was $1600 per month, but only about 80 sqft!!!
@@Nightwatcher20 I bet it was new too, or in a fancy area. It's so annoying, because there is a huge market for affordable housing, which could actually net someone a huge profit, especially in Brooklyn, but any developments like that are probably blocked by a lot of parties that stand to lose a lot of money and power, if NYC started adopting smart housing practices found in other big cities in the world
Hold up ಠ_ʖಠ
That toilet paper . . . What sorcery is this
lol it's the best, most simple thing ever
I like heaven
Does thw FBI want to move to Japan?
Two prongs not connected and with a spring that only gives them space to move up
@@savage7882 it's still fucking my mind
Really like your presentation style. Good job 🙌
Thanks, I appreciate that!
That's a super effective apartment for one person! Thank you for the tour.
Yeah, especially in a big city! Thank you for watching!
For roughly $600 USD a month my ex-husband (Japanese national) and I had a 3 bedroom apartment in the suburbs of Osaka (ibaraki yamatedai) . Japanese suburbs are much lower in cost. But of course that was a decade ago in '09-'10. For any expats, I would suggest livinng in the Japanese suburbs and commuting to the city for work. The commute isn't too bad. My former father in law would commute from our area to Kyoto because he was a Uni. Prof and he was always home on time for dinner. I'm just saying for any foreigner who wishes to live in JPN you dont have to live in a major city. It's cheaper to be in the neighborhood apartments
lola cruz Yeah suburbs and even Osaka are cheaper than being right in Tokyo. I lived in the countryside in Fukuoka prefecture and was in an old 2-bedroom apartment by myself and it was way cheaper.
After 5 years of that, I wanted to live and feel like I’m living in Tokyo which is why I favored a place like this. I’m also not the best in the morning and wanted to make my daily commute as short and easy as possible.
When I moved from this place here, I really thought about the commuter pass and what places would be covered. Since that pass gets paid for by work, it’s even better if it covers places I frequent outside of work as well.
my Kyoto Arashiyama 2brm flat was great, sweet memories.
Francis Couderq That sounds pretty awesome actually
The train to/from Kyoto and Osaka isnt a long ride at all, doing that daily is akin to taking the train from thr other parts of Brooklyn to Manhattan. Totally doable.
This is interesting. Although $600 completely obliterates my salary here in Mexico, even with a degree.
i love your apartment! It will be 1500+ dollars in Queens NY and it will a lot shittier than this apartment.
Thanks! Wow even Queens huh... crazy
That would be $2200 in Edgewater, NJ.
Almost every non third world country has higher prices for this kind of flat in/near the capita. Its very nice.
In Brazil with $1k u can rent a HUGE apartment in front of the beach with AL INCLUSIVE (Gymn, gas, WiFi, volleyball and soccer play areas, front desk 24hours, rooftop with barbecue area, etc...)
This would be 3k in Manhattan lol
So pretty! 😍 this is amazing and thanks for sharing 👍 Japan is a beautiful clean and peaceful country
Thanks! Of course it's not perfect but there are a lot of positives in Japan.
As a New Yorker, I'm very envious of this.
Yeah I hear ya, NYC is insane
Toilet roll is brilliant. Many things similar to Taiwan. Tokyo is famous for being so expensive but this is not bad compared to some cities in Canada
James Lade Yup! I think Tokyo has an expensive image, and it is in some ways, but for housing I think it’s quite reasonable especially compared to any major city in the US or Canada.
Omg not bad compared to London. Who knows how I'm going to get through the accommodation loans through uni ;-;
Eilidh Buchanan I’m not sure how costs are in London but compared to most cities and universities in the US, Japan is a good deal.
Keep the expensive image!! It will make more place for ppl that know the secret.
Tokyo is a gigantic, divided into 23 large wards. really depends where u r in Tokyo. In prime areas, u wont find apartments for just 1000dollars
"I have to put clothes in boxes."
Well, you're in the land of Marie Kondo - time to act on it. :)
lol I know right! I have a hard time doing that though!
That’s so worth it! A “good” apartment in Atlanta, Georgia is at least $1200.
That’s what I’m thinking! Most major cities in the US are so expensive!
Nice video bro, keep it up !
Thanks man. I appreciate it!
"when you first enter there is a little place for your shoes"
Me: I'm gonna need a bigger place for my shoes.
Chris L Asame with me. There’s a cabinet to the right where you can fit some in though.
@@barrettish ay in Liverpool for £950 a month you'd get a 5bedroom house with a big garden! Plus we got loads of Japanese people aswell! 😂😂🤦🏼♀️
You can get a hanger with slots for shoes, hang it on the door.
@@donskii-sx9hw No, people pay you to live in Liverpool, not the other way around.
@@donskii-sx9hw Then that place is probably like in*** were it sucks that's why the houses mad cheap
Im just north of Tokyo in Saitama. $800 a month for a 2 story house. 4LDK close to Laketown
PresidentWu Nice deal!
Of course the further away from the city the cheaper and even afford to rent a house with space and privacy. If people willing to sacrifice long distance to/from work it is worth it.
And how far away from Tokyo you are? I'm from Mexico and I'm planning to live 1 year (or 2) in Japan, so what you pay for your house seems a pretty good deal to me :)
Thats actually very affordable. Even cheap i would say. I pay 570 euros for a 2 story row house in a small town in arguably one of the least desirable areas of the netherlands. In all fairness the government gives me 230 euros in rent compensation, but thats only bc of my low income.
To be clear i am 2.5 hours from amsterdam. Even if you rate the 2 cities the same you cant get something like that 30 minutes from amsterdam central station!
I really appreciate this video because it shows how most people who watch this video, including me, would most probably live, if they were living in Tokyo.
So, thank you :)
Thank you for watching! I actually found that very interesting as well, just seeing how many people are curious or interested in living in Japan or Tokyo. Hope you can give it a try someday!
Honestly apartments always just gave me a good vibe y’know.
Apartments just always made me happy for some reason.
Glad to hear! haha

I just can't with this comment 😂😂😂😂
Honestly I’m still confused how it works
@@beccas760 Take a look at EZ Load replacements. Instead of a tube, there are two cylinders at each side that hold the roll. When you push up the old roll, they go up (obviously) but also to the sides, retreating. The old roll goes out. Meanwhile, the paper part of the new roll keeps the cylinders pushed away, and when they meet the hole in the middle, they snap back, holding the new roll. Pretty ingenious, actually... And indeed one of those things we wonder why we don't have. 👍💯
I rewatched that scene 4 times to understand
Your videos and your website are the most useful I’ve found about apartments in Tokyo, so thank you very much for uploading this, you do a really great job!
Kichihana吉花 Wow thank you for that, I really appreciate it! I’m glad you found them to be useful!
Your place is amazing looks tidy and comfortable cheers from South Africa 🇿🇦

Thank you for watching! :)
I enjoyed the tour.
Thank You for sharing.
Chris Sullivan Thanks Chris!
Here where I live in Italy, I pay 300 for a shared apartment with one other person.. living room, 2 separate bedrooms, kitchen, full bathroom and laundry machine.
That’s not bad, there are similar prices and situations in Japan too. It depends on where though.
When I'll be an adult I really want something like that. I often am outside and really enjoy tiny spaces, plus I love mynimalistic designs.
I'd like to travel a lot so a tiny house would be perfect. Also, I'd love to live in Japan for a while.
Greetings from Italy!
Awesome, you should definitely try it out in the future! Thanks for watching. Hope all’s well with you there!
Honestly really lovely having a private balcony! The space looks really cool. Wouldnt mind the size at all for myself!
Yeah having a balcony was one of the must-have priorities on my list when searching. Makes a difference! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tour!
No problem!
Even that it looks so cozy and makes you enjoy living there
Yeah not too bad to come home to after a day out in busy Tokyo
the first thing that came in my mind when i saw your apartment(in this video)is
“wow😍”
haha thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Pretty cool and convenient apartment. I loved the toilet paper thing ! Hehe
Yeah haha it’s so simple yet so good!
it’s clean and cozy, everything fits perfectly, love it :)
Thanks! It’s not bad, great to be able to afford your own living space in a big city.
I live in a third world country and I have my own huge beautiful house with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a huge kitchen, amazing garden and nature.
Thsnks to these videos I appreciate more the place I live in and make me wanna stay and try to improve my own country instead of running away and move to a overpopulated land.
Where do you live?
To each their own! The best is being happy where you are with what you have.
Yes, I believe if you are not happy in your own country, improve it. Don't go to another country and expect them to obey your customs. I am happy that you are so happy to improve your lot, in life. I could never leave here, I don't even believe in holidays abroad, we need to conserve our worlds resource, not use them for selfish pleasures.
Yes, what country do you live in?
This place is VERY similar to a spot where I stayed in Okinawa in 2018, except there was no door to separate from kitchen, no call phone, no escape (was only on 3rd floor) and like you said the toilet was in a small closet room separate from the sink and small tub. I actually really loved staying there and it was nice and cozy. So nice that you are living there! 😄
Yup, that sounds like a typical apartment as well! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I don’t live here anymore but it was pretty good for single living in the city!
What I’d get for 950 $,
Oh no no no, I’d be living in a bathroom if I weren’t under 18.
lol
@@barrettish whats it like living in the most haunted country in Asia?
This is great. It's best to have small spaces so that one is forced to utilize and organize it better. Frankly I think it makes for an easier life since you really think about what you need versus what you want. It's really neatly set up.
Phatastic Meemo Thanks! It’s practical and there’s less waste. I don’t want huge but a little bigger would be nice haha
Leslie Page Yeah I ended up leaving everything the way it was
Love the toilet paper dispenser and how they screened the sliding back door. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching! I was impressed by those as well haha
From what I’m seeing.
It looks like there’s a roll of the screen in that big chunk of silver part of the door and you pull and let it zip back in?
Something like that?
BCKay Yeah the screen rolls into the sliding door’s edge/frame so that it’s not visible in the glass
Barrett Ishida Where is the shower???
Love it! I would enjoy a little space like this if I were single. Thank you for the tour.
Thank you for watching! Yeah, I think it’s pretty good for singles living and working in the city.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Wow. That's a tiny and adorable plus efficient apartment! Hope you also show the "lower priced" ones so we get to have an idea. Thank you!!!
Thanks! If I am able to I will!
1:37 I like how the builders took the symons panels off the concrete in the room and were like "screw it that works"
lol i never really thought about that
I love this so much 💓
Thank you!
Man that's a decently sized apartment!! Very cozy
It was a bit smaller than I was used to but not bad for single living in Tokyo!
I love it, quaint but comfortable!
Thanks Gina, appreciate it!
Just watching this now! Really, its quite lovely, but then, I must admit, Japan is my dream! Such a stunning country in every way!💕

OK, my constant fear living in this apartment would be that I might not fit through this tiny fire escape in an emergency 🙈
LouKa haha I know what you mean. Unfortunately everything is a little smaller in Japan lol
Japan and their toilet systems. That roll replacement is really neat. 👍🏾
Yeah it’s so simple yet so good!
Id love to live in something like this in the future. Tiny and cozy with a cat or two to keep me company, or my best friend. Im lazy and living in small and easy to manage places like this would be good for me. Plus it's cheap and convenient. And you get all the necessary things like the kitchen, bath, toilet, bedroom which is all that you need. I love this tour. Ive been recently obsessed with watching tiny apartments and I can just imagine my life living in one of them lol.
I enjoyed it, great for single living in a big city! It has all the necessities, and no major problems. Thanks for watching!
Omg I love the balcony door. I need this in Germany!!
speedy G I think it’s pretty awesome too! I stayed in an apartment in Berlin before, and there were balcony doors that could open at the top for air. I thought those were cool too!
Good vid. Subbed. Looking forward to more Japan vids
Balla Baby Thanks!! I’ll do my best 👍
Thank for the video 😝✌🏼
Thanks for watching!
Compared to many other micro apartments I've seen, this one looks quite nice. I could see myself living somewhere like this by myself.
Yeah it’s not bad, especially to be able to have something like that in a mega city like Tokyo.
I like the apartment and location for that price. Hope all is well. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! Hope you’re good too.
This would be 3x in San Francisco or Hong Kong. Tokyo is a cheap sleeping giant City
For sure. It's great Tokyo can keep things relatively affordable.
Indonesia is more cheap bro
try living in Cebu City, Philippines for 1k $ you will be living already in a small condo unit.
second to Hong Kong
More than cheap I should say affordable...
I like the wash basin faucet in the bathroom and the fire escape hatch.
Thanks for watching!
This apparments are awesome, they have all that a person needs.
Yeah decent for a single person living in the big city!
Love that TP dispenser/holder. I bet it would sell EXTREMELY well in the rest of the world.
Chris E I loved it too. I’m actually shocked that it’s not everywhere!
Cool video.
You should do a timelapse from your balcony. The view is indeed interesting.
wreagfe Thanks! Yeah I should have, unfortunately I moved already.

I saw remarks about how clean Japan is & that's one thing I have notice..its incredibly clean
Yeah definitely. Even Tokyo is pretty clean considering how big of a city it is.
Nice video!!
Thank you!
