FINALLY!!! A bathroom that's not see-through! 😃😄😁
You know what though? This one is SO much better for the price than the previous one. I could totally make this work but I'd need a bunk bed with a desk under it. The loft are would really just be for storage because I always have to use the bathroom at night and that would be too dangerous to use the ladder while sleepy.
This apartment has some good qualities. It looks like a ground floor space, and that is nice. It has a shoe cupboard and a nice window that isn't frosted (I like to be able to see outside). The small bathtub seems very good. The lack of a shelf in the bathroom is easy to solve--here in the US, it is possible to purchase freestanding shelves that can be placed over the toilet--I guess Japan has something similar. But that loft would be too dangerous for sleeping because it is so narrow and there is no safety rail. Still, it would be good for storage. Overall, this is a nice apartment, although it is more expensive than the place you are renting now.
Agreed! The loft is a bit scary to sleep... Maybe more like a chill zone... Maybe watch movies on the white wall on the other side? 😊
And even though the laundry area isn’t very large, it would perhaps be usable as a location for a refrigerator. The abundance of sink basins is a little wasted space, but you could soak laundry.
I was thinking the same thing about the loft being unsafe, but it would be easy to install safety railings to make it more secure for sleep.
I was thinking the same for the loft nap/chill zone. Good idea to have another perspective of the room once in awhile if your stuck indoors for a few days
I have to say, none that I have seen so far are equal to your present apartment. I hope your search eventually rewards you with the perfect residence.
I really like the bathroom in this one! It's got a little bit more space than some of the others we have seen. I'd put n tiny fridge in the space of the laundry 😊😊
Здравствуйте, Усуи! Теперь я смотрю Ваши видео с сыном (ему 4 года) 😆
Его внимание привлёк человек-паук и то, что он ищет квартиру. Теперь мы вместе ждём каждое новое видео.
Спасибо Вам за возможность увидеть обычную жизнь в Вашей стране ❤
The ladder makes arranging the furniture almost impossible. Even if you use the loft for storage it would be in the way of the bed.
I.will.ask the owner to.take the ladder away.. if possible
رغم أن الإيجار منخفض قليلا لكن المنطقة غير مريحة 😊 أعتقد أن الفوتون جيد للشقق الصغيرة 🤗 أتمنى لك سنة سعيدة شكرا لك 💜💜💜
A Murphy bed/desk combo would probably work well in this apartment. It folds up nicely when not in use and is a great space saver.
A Murphy bed!🥳
@@usui503yes, a drop-down bed for lasagna loving cats. 😊
Cute Bathtube. 🥰 But it is perfectly adequate for relaxing.
I agree with using the loft as storage. Also, the futon with the chair and table. Price is okay. Maybe ¥42,000. Not much to offer in the area but the nice park. A bit too cramped.
It's really cool. But I can already see myself falling and breaking my neck getting down to use the washroom at night.
😅🚑
Going to add ladders (alongside toilets) as something that I don't want to see when opening a door
the room seems to be okay. i like how they build the toilet space but i dont like the second floor. it is too high and dangerous, I would never sleep on that area. 😅😅 anyway i prefer a bed than a futon, for my back's sake! Thanks
Hi Usui-san~ Hope your journey to find the perfect apartment continues safely next year. And hope you have a wonderful year! 🎉❤
At this point, I just get thankful for a toilet that does not have a glass door. The bathroom in this one actually looked quite decent. However the problem with any of the rooms that have ladders, is that ladders take up too much space
Love the space, love how it's structured. Laundry area is small but functional, bed obviously goes in the loft. the only thing i am worried about is the lack of storage space. Small spaces need lots of storage space! Buying forniture other than a little carpet, low table and floor chairs would probably make the place feel too cramped.
foling camping chair and folding table
Il y a clairement une amélioration par rapport aux autres appartement que tu as visité dernièrement. J'adore la boîte à chaussure parce que c'est très pratique. Cependant, l'espace de buanderie est beaucoup trop petite. Un lit escamotable avec bureau en dessous serait clairement l'idéal. Sinon au deuxième étage, tu as le vertige et je te comprend tellement donc c'est pas optimal. Je pense que tu trouveras ton bonheur en 2024. Bonne année et continu tes recherches, lâche pas, tu va trouvé ce que tu veux. Ah j'allais oublier, hier j'ai vu une vidéo d'un gars qui visitait des micro-appartements sous les chemin de fer au Japon.
I like this apartment, but I would like some railing for loft space - then I could sleep up there. As it is, futon on the floor looked like the best solution.
Thank you for making so many videos, they're very relaxing to watch. And thank you for always climbing up to the loft, even though you don't like heights!
The loft space is scary! I’m afraid of heights too.
Every time I see a Spider-Man Lego, I think of you! 😅
Saludos desde Ciudad de México, que barbaridad el baño no tiene ventilación! sigue siendo mejor el tuyo.
I totally agree. I would use the loft for storage. I would get a sofa bed that is like the size of a twin. your desk idea was very good. I actually like that. but what I would do was get a desk with different levels. like you could have a with computer a one side and have a TV on the other side. But the futon bed is a very good idea too help save some storage.
A good option compared to the previous ones. Harmonious living space due to the square shape. Somewhat similar to your room now, it looks cozy. Especially if there is all the necessary infrastructure nearby. The choice is up to you. And most importantly, if you like it. Thanks for the review! Good luck!
One of the best micro apartment you have showned
Usui, i think this is better than most you have shown us. The storage space is a good idea so that you don't keep going up and down the ladders. Not happy about the laundry space.....its a tight squeeze isn't it! The price is very good, and the area is so pretty. Not many shops though. Hmmm...7/10 for this one I think. :)
終於浴室沒有透明玻璃了， Yeah~~ !!!
梯子不太好用，而且擋住了網路孔和其他的控制面板。
跟臼井先生說的一樣，只能用小型的洗衣機。而且沒有附冰箱。
Loft太高，夏天開冷氣應該也不涼，還是睡一樓比較好。
不過價錢非常便宜。謝謝臼井先生的介紹。
Hello Usui, very grateful for the tour of another small apartment. I found the division of environments very strange, and super small. Especially in the bathroom... I think you'd better continue your search. Although, I think you've already found it (my opinion) standing out from the several you've kindly shown us. 🙏
in my opinion, this is the best option of all that you have shown.
Thank you. These videos are so calming and I am learning a lot about japan microapartments :)
While I personally like the apartment as a whole, what just really bothers me, is just the lack of a safety railing in the loft-space. It's way too dangerous to sleep there.
Love this .... Loft can be storage and a hang out place for watching movies internet etc. very cool .... Futon bed that folds into a chair or seat downstairs and small table or table attached to the wall that folds down... Great for sleeping and meals.... Love the opinion of a bath or shower... Plenty of storage space above the toilet great stuff.... Do you need more kitchen?.... Can you manage with a smaller washing machine? After all it's only you and spiderman's gang that live there.... Cheaper rent? .... A blank canvas for you to make it your own ... Personally I'd love it... Take care🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hi Usui .. like you I don’t like heights. That ladder is lethal ! It’s another no . The toilet is nice 👍🤣🇬🇧❤️💕
🥰🇬🇧
Oh, well, what is it?! More stairs, more small loft. Eh, everything seems to be available, but it's not cozy...I sincerely hope that next year you will have better luck finding suitable housing. Happy New Year 🥳
Thanks for your comment!🥳
@@usui503 Thank You for your videos
The toilet and sink combo is cute.
The high ceiling does make it feel bigger, even on video.
A question for anyone that may know, are there no safety standards for Japanese homes? Work and public places seem overrun with safety protocols. Homes doesn't seem to need any minimum safety standard when it comes to railings and safe transition for stair or ladder to loft spaces.
Eu não conseguiria morar em um local tão pequeno 😊
if there was a safety rail, i would definitely sleep on the loft! A bed or a futon would take way too much space on the ground floor, and without them, you could have a desk , some storage and maybe even a small couch
So many sinks in this one!
Tension rods going from floor to ceiling as a safety rail in the loft would work for keeping stored items in place. Fridge in laundry space. Go to laundromat. Love the bathroom, finally no see through to the living area. Again with the tension rods to create shelves over the toilet. Might just have to give that bed on dressers a try here in my own home. Grandkids would love it. Hmmmm A hammock?
I like the loft option for storing your things.
Not so bad solution. Loft is too high and narrow 😅 good only for storage. Nice bath space. Murphy bed with table probably top choice here. But the district is not so convenient ... Maybe the next will be the right. 🍀😊🌈
1. Loft is to high build it lower.
Loft feels like coffin box.
2. I like the kitchen set.
I like this one the most so far. Beautiful location, futon for sleeping downstairs, ofuro for bathing, storage in upper loft space. Thank you for videos!
You know what they say: to get over a fear you need to face it. I would ask to install a protective bar at the loft bed though.
Too many sinks! No need for the one in the shower. The loft has no safety railing so you couldn’t use it for sleeping. But with the low rent and the park- BEAUTIFUL! Final thought, with the high ceiling, heat rises, could be expensive to keep warm when it gets cold.
Compared to some of the other Micro units you have showed us, this (to me) had the most potential. I would set up a desk by the window, to get some natural light while working. And along the wall add a small LONG storage unit. By the control panel I would get a folding table with a folding chair for dining purposes. I would sleep in the loft are, and maybe install some portable railings (if available), or use storage furniture as a buffer. In the 'laundry' area, I wouldn't use it for that. I would get a small fridge and place it there, with some storage above for non refrigerated food, and maybe a microwave. In the toilet area, I would add standing storage behind the toilet for toilet paper and other needed items. You can get some with or without cabinet doors.
Its actually a nice spot. Especially for those who'd want a quiet space and not with a bustle commercial space.
Wow. Just 30 seconds ago. Fresh from Usui :D
🤨 It's always surprising to me when there is no toilet paper storage. Shelves would be an excellent use of that available wall space above the toilet and a tenant wouldn't have to buy those shelving units that are made to fit around/above a toilet. Beautiful park!
I like the room. The problem is such a small space for the washing machine. Sleeping so close to the kitchenette area isn't so great either. Since you are afraid of heights the loft area wouldn't work for a sleeping area. I would be afraid of falling over myself. I hope you find something soon.
The only good thing about this place is that at least the toilet isn’t encased in glass and on display like a museum exhibit like the last few have been. The location is lovely, but how much time would you spend in the park anyway? 🤷♀️ keep looking Usui 🙂
Loft needs a safety rail, otherwise this is the best unit you've shown so far.
I think so too. Others had the laundry line in key spaces. 😅
Hello Usui. I really like this department. The space above can be used to store things.
Love your videos
Batman (DC comics) and Spiderman (Marvel comics) colab. I like this one. I like the big shoe rack. In my home, at my entrance I have a shoe and coat holder that holds up to 9 pairs of my shoes. I would use the loft for storage: extra blankets, winter clothes (during the summer) or summer clothes (during the winter and yarn, because I like to knit. I would keep a futon on the living area and use my folding Korean table. I like the bath and toilet have their own private space and the main living area is square shape. I may use the laundry space to put a refrigerator and instead use a portable washing machine.
I like that it's located near a Park. Would definitely push me for more walks😂. It's a 6min walk to a station and that's fine by me. Love that it has a shoe rack. But honestly, I would just use the laundry space as a wardrobe area. We can just put those standing shelves for the toilet paper storage. And it has a bath❤. I love sleeping in loft spaces, but for Usui-san I think the loft space should just be storage and since the ceiling is high we can just use a loft bed where we can put a desk underneath.
The bathroom is the best that you have visited! Private, separate from the rest of the apartment, and even has a tub and a sink so you don't have to wash face/brush teeth in the kitchen
IF the loft floor has least some fences for keep safe, I will say it's better than ur current apartment. But it hasn't...so disappointment. If u choose loft bed u can even have chance to reach the loft floor for extend space as well
Yes, I could live in this one.
Hübsches Badezimmer mit Waschbecken.❤
I like this! But...I don't know exactly why😅 maybe you have a lot of choice, you'll have a small barhroom but this let you use the kitchen entirely! You'll have a huge storage space but you can also change your mind and put a bed, jusy saying! Is a pity for the.small laundry space...and maybe the zone is a bit inconvenient as you said! 💜💜💜
Every episode shows some fancy micro-apartments.
The apartment itself is great but thee location could be bad for you because of the lack of nearby food etablishments.
I would be afraid of falling our of bed up there.
I hope you find a better place!
The bathroom having a sink as well as the one on the cistern is good, so you don't have to straddle the toilet to wash your hands.
Still, I think it could be better.
Best of luck in your search :)
I like it. 🤷🏻♀️ I don't mind lofts, perhaps the apartment manager could install a safety railing. If not, then something like a few strong tension rods braced to the ceiling might work. I dont see any way to arrange the furniture you want if you're not going to use the loft for sleeping though.
Usui, the location is beautiful. The mirror apartment, it would be a no.
Value for money 💰
The ledge at the loft is not high enough, especially when you are on a normal mattress (but even without mattress) you risk falling down breaking your neck. And we don't want that! So, just use it for storage, that would be my advice.
I'm simply addicted to watching your vídeos, Usui. ❤
Hello Usuisan, This apartment has only one plus for me - the shoe storage. I wish you continued good luck in your hunt for the perfect place.
It’s sooooooo small 😮
Love the shoe box.
Instead of buying a washing machine, I’d get a folding bed and store it in that alcove during the day.
Or…. In North America we have a wooden or metal bed frame that folds to a chair and opens to a bed. (We call that a futon here). Then get a smaller/narrow desk for work/eating. Desk chair goes into the alcove for the washer at night.
I’d rather take my laundry to a laundromat and have space for storage in the apartment.
By the way.. I dislike that loft for sleeping. I’d always worry that I’m going to fall off…
I would live here. I didn't see a fridge, but that can be fixed as with the shelving in the toilet ... 😊
I think I’d pass on this one too. I wish you luck in your search in the New Year.
Lost space in the bathroom : better a simpler but larger shower than such a small bathtub. As you pointed out, the heating control panel is inconveniently placed considering this is the only place for the ladder. And there is not even space to add a fridge when there is not a any convenience store nor a take-away restaurant within a short walking distance, meaning you would have to buy much groceries to cook and thus find a way to store them and keep them fresh. This is what the main space could be used for if you were not afraid oh heights : a fridge, a proper desk with a proper chair and maybe a small wardrobe. Unfortunately, there is no barrier to prevent you from falling from the loft space and this is a huge security concern, afraid of heights or not. That's way too many items in the cons column. Nope.
It's a NO for me.
1) It is $120.00 more than your current rent.
2) There is no protection wall in the sleeping space. You could just roll and fall.
Of course, if you get a chair that turns into a bed, and with you desk, it would work.
It's not good, because:
1. The loft is too small and too dangerous for sleeping;
2. Where and how to place the refrigerator and your washing machine?
3. The ladder occupies too much space;
4. Where is your desk?
The main living space had a better shape and I liked the larger shoe storage unit. However, I think only the futon and low table arrangement you mentioned would work. It's another example of how your current micro apartment is smaller and yet still more convenient and user friendly. At the end I found myself wondering what you had eaten after viewing the apartment.
I like this one, looks more like a house

Post scriptum :
Happy New Year Usui ! Happy 🎆🎇2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣ 🎇🎆 !
Loft space can be used as a storage. Ladder should be removed. Loft bed with desk may work. I would use arm chair to sit and get into a storage space. Greetings from Switzerland.
🥰🇨🇭
The bathroom looks nice.
Futon in the loft, mini fridge under ladder. Loveseat and coffee table that lifts up to use as a desk.
Good afternoon Usui. Yes, it is true that the loft can be used as storage space. The futon seems like an excellent option to me, however I can't get an idea of the comfort compared to a conventional bed. Given how high the ceiling is, a raised bed, like the one you've been showing off before, would be ideal. However, I am confused that you are afraid of heights and yet have considered raised beds. I don't like that you don't have services nearby. And those that exist are few. I think this department is not a good idea.
Happy new year Usui, thanks for your videos 🎉
З Новим 2024 роком♥️ Удачі вашому каналу ♥️
This one is really nice. Happy New Year Usui-san!
This one is just a little to small because you have to move everything if you want to do anything. You shouldn't have to be moving things around every day. The loft is scary because there is no railing. But at least there is a proper bathroom and it's even a private one. No putting on a show for guests because of glass doors
Hi 👋, the location is beautiful but as you said is not ideal. The loft looks dangerous 😮. Your are going to find a better place. Happy New Year 🎉.
I actually like the loft space and would like to use it as a sleeping space but it has no railing… so i would be afraid of rolling over 😜
I really like the bathroom, so compact. Not crazy about the loft tho. Could hv been useful if it's a bit wider with more ceiling height. And some railing 😅
Hello again! I love this apartment! The loft is good for storage and in a saloon is good a table and one comfortable chair and a futon or a "sofa-bed" ❤ A lot of kisses from Argentina!!!
🥰🇦🇷
It would be lovely to live near the park 🌳🌸The storage seemed good in this apartment with shoe racks by the genkan and a loft area. The loft would be dangerous to sleep in with no wall or rail 😱 Happy New Year 🥳
At least the bathroom door isn’t glass
😅🛀
Great vids!
If you are afraid of heights I am the same way I would not want a loft. It does have some cute features but that would be a turn off for me also you don’t have much room for your washer dryer. Good luck in your quest for a perfect micro apartment
This one was good! ❤❤❤
No space for a fridge. Your actual place is better.
I won't fear heights, so I will use the loft space with a Futon to sleep. But a ladder is inconvenient to place all the furniture that I need to live.
Same thing this guy apartment, but his apartment doesn't have any sleep loft. This is smaller than his apartment, good thing this place has a higher sleeping loft. All the Japanese apartments are almost similar, how the people rearrange them. The apartment is very cheap and has no bathroom, this apartment has bathrooms they have to pay more like $500 or $600 American money it's a nice place.
