MAY 2017 - My wife, baby son, and I stayed at this apartment in Tokyo for 1 week in May 2017. This was a great condo, located not far from the central Shinjuku area of Tokyo. One of the things I love most about living or visiting Japan is that the living spaces are so cosy and so comfortable. Even though you usually don’t have a lot of extra space or moving room, there’s everything you need in a Tokyo apartment in such a small space.
In this apartment in Tokyo, there was 1 bedroom, 1 living space with a small balcony attached, a small kitchen with a bar counter dining space, and finally a bathroom equipped with a life-changing Japanese Toto toilet and something completely new for me - a Japanese sitting shower.
Hope you enjoyed this Japan apartment tour in Tokyo. This is a little glimpse into the possibilities of living or staying in Japan and an apartment you can rent when you visit. I rented just for 1 week, so it was short term, for $60 per night. But renting an apartment like this per month should be much more affordable.

He always take his wife and kid wherever he goes.....I like this.
Except on Nairobi Kenya
I love this!!!
Thats called not having selfish love
cos she does the filming, duh
I like the fact that he takes his wife and kids with him were ever he goes.
I swear this guy must be a direct succeeding offspring of Buddha!! Always calm, relaxed, happy and never panic!!
Yeah very true .....so much positivity 🥰🥰🥰
Yeah...I am thinking the same too. Smile all the way but sounds and looks calm.
Lol I like that you smile so much. There's a shortage of happy people in the world !!! 😀😀😀😀
Blessed 1
I second that! Let's keep the love flowing. It's far more difficult to lead an angry life than it is a happy one:)
Stay blessed beautiful
What a ridiculous thing to say.
Katherine McChesney
How or why is this ridiculous in your opinion?
@@TheresaPowers sour puss😝
@@TheresaPowers It's not ridiculous. You must be one of those cynical "suck the joy out of life" people.
That tiny sink above the water tank is a way for us Asians helped in water conservation. The idea is, after you did your thing in the toilet, wash your hands in that tiny sink and the 'used" water goes into the tank to be use for flashing the next time you use the toilet again.
It’s called grey water.
Yes he explained that, no need to repeat the same thing.
Flushing water can be used so many times. It's on stages of using the clean water. On clean stage for cleaning. The water drained to the water tank for flushing. The same amount of water being used twice.
I've been in Japan for so many times when I was working for the US Navy. I think they learned to used things efficiently.
no, @@CJ-im2uu it is not. The water coming out of the Fawcett is normal water, that water when used to fill the toilet cistern could be called grey water, only.
The place seems very specious, not as small as I was thinking it would be. I also can't wait to see baby Micah walking around!!! (anybody else?!??) 😃🤗
Vale AC he is a new born
Vale AC it would be another 12 months.
I highly doubt it will take that long. He was born last November he's about nine months now. Most babies start walking at one years old. He should start by December of this year.
He's nine months old now, not a newborn.
Ebony Arnold He might even be trying to crawl by now, we don't see much of him anyway so who knows. But he is an adorable baby and I hope that they continue to let us see him grow up.
Just love Micah's little bed. He looked happy in his little space.
What I like about this apartment it's the space in the bathroom. I'd watch many apartment tours before and the wetroom was all in one with the toilet, it's nice to have a separate space for both even in the same room
I can live in that kind of apartment for the rest of my life. It looks so cosy and comfortable..💞
Imagine mark using the bidet and having one of his iconic face expressions.
I guess he will tip over...fall down with a smile and an 'oh yessssss' lol
dawn chamling
And saying something like hoooooo wow.
This apartment is much larger than a tiny one I just saw set in Hong Kong. It was perhaps just a little larger than this man's bedroom. I lived in a motorhome for an extended period of time, so living in an apartment like this man's would be perfectly okay with me. I believe my whole family could live there comfortably.
I gave this video a definite "Like". For those who gave it a thumbs down because you didn't care for the type of apartments/condos, then that was quite unfair. The presentation was excellent, giving a very clear picture of what we can expect should we travel to Tokyo. Thanks for that Mark! Many others owe you an apology!
It's so nice to see a sweet family traveling in harmony. Your channel is a delight and keep on moving ~
micah in his early age have travelled around the world
He's been to more places before the age of 2 than I've been my entire life. #blessed #bestfam
ikr! :D
RedVexeD yes, Micah experienced it before he was born as well.
too bad he wont remember, not until around 5 years age.
but didnt had any idea what he was doing/experiencing
I wish I had someone so smiley in my life... you cheer me up just watching your genuine enthusiasm for everything, thank you
WHY DO I LOVE THIS MAN? HE HAS THE MOST JOYOUS SPIRIT...
Loved renting in Shinjuku, also through Airbnb but we rented a 3 bedroom for ten days and just loved the location. Just a 10 minute walk to the train station too which was so convenient. Shinjuku was great fun with so many side streets with intimate karaoke bars and food street vendors. The Shinjuku Gyoen Park was hands down the most stunningly beautiful park we ever seen. It is without hesitation, a must see while you are in Shinjuku. The Tsukiji Fish Market was a blast to visit and a short train ride from Shinjuku.I could go back again in a heartbeat.
the toilet has its water running when you flush it so you can wash your hands and the used water can be use as a flush to the toilet so basically it saves H2O..
Leo Palace Apartments
You don't flash a toilet...
Flush it
for water control also? to make sure water run or not?
Such a simple but great idea
That's a really smart (and simple) idea. o.o
they are not just paying attention to comfort, they are environment friendly too.
Yes, however they also use a lot of plastic for packaging which is not too environmentally friendly
@@pso142 Japan recycles all the plastic. So nothing goes to waste. 😉
So lovely to see the happiness on Mark's face!!
How Japanese take a bath: you first wash yourself sitting on the stool in front of the mirror and using the shower. If you are completely clean, you go into the bathtub to relax. After you finished relaxing, you cover the hot water in the tub with a sheet or kind of plastic blanket to keep it warm, because the next person will use the same water to relax. That is why you have to be clean before you enter the bath tub. I was in Japan for a traineeship and stayed three months with a Japanese family, that is where I learned how to use the bathroom.
Johannes Sugito hi
Interesting 🤗
Ew used bath water uh no thanks
Agreed. Most westerners dont know that you NEVER enter a bath dirty in Japan. It is unclean. You always shower scrub first. Then soak in the bath. Very Roman bath like.
Yuck
WELCOME TO TOKYO! ٩( ᐛ )و love the new series!
John, you and Mark should do a video together
definitely should!
ONLY in JAPAN Love your channel as well John
ONLY in JAPAN
You have the best channel
i like how much time he spends with his family and i like how micah responds to his dad thats love i can see how much he love's his dad
He seems to have a really warm personality ;)
It's a great idea to rent an apartment rather than stay in a hotel because it's very expensive in Tokyo. I would do this. Thank you for sharing 👍👍
Hi
I love that he loves every day things!
Keen Green Aaron I know right I would to if I was him 😂
Everything makes sense in Japan. The way condos set up, reading, everything. I love your condo.
Already in love with this mini masterpiece 😍😍😍😍😍
Very cool! I wish I could travel the world just like this. This channel is like a digital tour for other people. Thank you mark!
Hi Mark. I just found your channel over the weekend. Although I am not much of an International traveler; in my profession as a State/Gov employee in Wisconsin I have the opportunity to meet many wonderful foreigners visiting our State/Country. I appreciate learning about their culture through your channel. Amazing. Thank you so much for taking us along with you and your family on your travels. Look forward to future videos. Be Safe and happy travels.
You have a great personality, a relaxing voice and great smile, conducting reviews fits you, keep up the good work.
Hello Mark.,We Always Enjoy ur Lovely Clips., Thanks bro and Japan is One of the Best Country in the World and Also one of my wishes to Visit Tokyo!!!
looking forward to them all Mark, ty for another great channel ☝👏
Wow I love the apartment, would love to travel to Japan...have not been to Japan since I was 4 yrs old back in the 50's. Was born there!!!
OldSchool Now249 so ur about 70 years old?
You have japan citizenship??
Mark, you crack me up every time! I love the way you live your life. Peace and love to you and yours.
"They give such a cute attention to comfort" so true man!! ❤
where r u
Mark is so underrated, you need more subs man! People are sleeping!
Pope Francis he focuses on himself too much! I actually wanted to see the apartment, not him! It was not a bad video, but it could have been better!
If Mark is good enough for Pope Francis, he's good enough for me!
'Personally,' I think he did a great job. But that's just me, okay. 😃☺️😊
This is his 2nd channel .
@@prislaem3838 it was his wife who was filming the video.
And no matter how small the place in Japan seems like there is always a nice tub deep enough to soak in! I wish the U.S. were like that. Nothing but the tiniest stand up shower in the last two places I've rented....no place to soak.
All you need is there...that is all that matters. Great space management. Love following you & your family around the world.Thanks Mark. Am learning a lot .
I love the way their bathrooms are meant to be wet with a drain. I stayed in a motel in the states with a bathroom like that 50 yrs ago but haven't seen one since. So easy to get it really clean.
i can't wait for 1 million subscribers
he alrady have one more channal
It's pretty big actually compare to the normal Japanese condo.
Omg, I love how transparent he is! Please keep making videos like this 😊👌🏼
my dude’s face has to hurt from smiling all day everyday. What a gem this guy. Keep smiling Mark. I’d love to meet you someday. Beers are on me.
I love how his shirt says I travel for food 😂that would be the second reason I’d travel
I like your t shirt: "If it's not spicy, I'm not eating," that is definitely my motto too, that is why I always carry hot sauce in my purse, in case I end up at a place where there is no hot sauce.
Making a video about your Tokyo apartment was a real nice idea! Just to see how other cultures live en what they find important Ans despite the small size, it looks really comfortable and cozy
I enjoyed the tour. Thank you!
I love seeing you enjoying life so much!
"Toilet/ faucet Flush" is a feature that enables conservation of water through recycling process.
I'd like to have one of those for my tiny home.
Hello, you have a lovely family, lovely wife, cute baby, I watched your clips and I like to travel around the world.
Thank you Mark. You are so transparent. As a result of that we can take from when we need to travel to any of these country. God bless you, your families and crew.
Loved it! I'm on a Japan TH-cam video binge and can't wait to visit this amazing place 💛
Mike, you're so much bigger and taller all of a sudden. Thanks for sharing this one.
I lived in suburban Tokyo on a U.S. air force base (Tachikawa) when I was 5 years old in the late 1960s.
I remember it well and see that things are much different in terms of technology. Nevertheless, the emphasis on detail and comfort were emphasized then just as shown here.
LOVE the water conservation in the bathroom.
That shower feature looks amazing!
You are so very happy.
I love that you love your life!!!
This is a really large apartment for Japan!
A really nice guy!! I could think of many negatives due to the cramped space but he only have positive things to stay. I am sure even this small apartment would be very expensive to rent.
Sibin Mathews I didn't feel cramped in Tokyo，only felt comfortable. But in Hong Kong I could really feel the negative sides of overcrowding.
Mark I love you! I love how excited you like as you explore other cultures and food!
Mark can live anywhere in the world such a down to earth person.
looks like a nice apartment
1800$/month is VERY expensive, even compared to downtown London, where you could rent a 1/2 bed room modern appartment for 1200-1500 pound/month. On the contrary you can rent a 2-bedroom modern appartment in downtown Shanghai for 600 - 800$ / month. One can only say it's cheap compared to living in a hotel in Tokyo, for a short time ( like weeks )stay.
This apt seems to be about 30 years old; more modern buildings are much bigger, with even more "hi-tech" stuff built in. The actual size of a unit can be as small as one room only and as big as 3 bedrooms, living room, etc. Still, at $60/night in the middle of Tokyo seems a good value for a family-oriented visit with a baby. This is not a "standard" by any means for a family of three or more:) for Tokyo "residents" in the upper/middle class segment. Fun video, though.
I like how ad he is laying on the bed the baby is going crazy on the floor as he talk about its cozie but the baby is just going crazy so cute
Hey Mark,
I really enjoy watching your family especially little Micah 😊.
last time I stayed in tokyo, we stayed in a hostel and a ryokan. next time I am definitely going to rent apartments through Airbnb. more bang for your buck, plus it's a bit more of a "real" experience. great video!
Definitely do it! We stayed in Airbnbs our entire time in Japan, and Tokyo has some awesome ones!
Laura van Vlaardingen i.ndian song
Laura, which hostel did you stay in Tokyo? I will be travelling alone and staying in a hostel would be more economical for me than renting an apt. for myself. Would you recommend it?
Laura van Vlaardingen I'm coming with you!
Bro u make the best blogg.i swaer✌️
That was an amazing room tour. It's a cozy place❤️
A very good camera work! And you are like pro ! Very interesting! Great job! My sister is thinking going back there on her honeymoon & taking our mom there with them...And I totally forgotten about these options! Thanks! I really enjoyed it! The high tech bath ...we've been having it since the 80's ! Lol.I'm glad that you & your family had a great time in Japan! Your baby has such a cute voice!
@2:58 like father like son😂😍!
japan - small, clean, compact, efficiency
Whyou Wannaknow just like the people
like their benis?
Not real Japan. Benjos and continuous propane heated hot water rule.
And comfortable
I like your camera work, going in-n'-out of doors. Pretty professional.
He is happy with any situation ❣️
but for Tokyo this is a quite big appartment
lina8316 not that big..lol my Tokyo apartment is way way better than this
you can get in tokyo what ever you can pay for ;)
Well this rule applies everywhere ;-)
lina8316 wouldn't be big for long when NK finished with it
HOW TF IS THIS BIG?
Two times better and double cheaper than in Tel Aviv. Big respect for Japanese people. Kiss from Europe.
I would love to visit Japan , it's so cool. They have quite a unique lifestyle . Nice . I seriously liked this video. Thanks man.
Thank u soo much .... That was a nice lil space and the baby growing 💙
Cool. I'd stay there. That's actually pretty good size. Almost bigger than my apartment in Florida. I love that bathroom area. I wish had the option of a tub, instead of just a shower. Thanks for sharing. I must travel there.

The apartment is huge in comparison to some of the homes there! 😁
Great to see you in Japan too, me and my boyfriend like to keep watching your videos about all the food in Thailand
It’s nice he goes whoever and finds joy.
Great smile!!
Man Micah is Kawai😀😄
Thank you for sharing. So interesting and useful. The bathroom space was unexpected with the heared toilet and mini room inside it for shower/bath. Nice to see such a happy person.
Keep up the great work bro. Respect.
How tall are you Mark? That condo is making you look like a giant in there lol
He looks to be 5'10 - 6 foot range
He looks like he's about 6' feet tall. My younger brother is 5'11" and he has a similar built to Mark Wiens, so that's what I think his height might be.
Titan
It is the lens that made him look like a giant
ive noticed it too. he's probably around 6'0-6'2
That elevator gave me anxiety 😂😂
I presume you are from the states and as usual you guys are snobish of your wealthy country where govt pays even you do not work.
@@somnathbhowmick1212 not true sweetie. The government definately didnt give me a hand out and I was a single mom of 2. My rent was 900 during that time. I pd all utilities and groceries. I worked a full time job and then some. We are not all spoiled.
@@trishbaum6364 I know, take care
Very nice video, Mark..thank you for taking me back to Japan memories..
WOW the bathroom is fully equipped - nice.
More video about Japanese food :)
Check out his vlog - Mark Weins - he travels all over (including Japan) showing their culture and food :)
I love it...just one problem, hardly have windows ☺
...and closets...where r closets?
More privacy?
Michael Loctor there are more than enough windows
The happiness on your face, during the bathroom tour 😁
You are a very good narrator. Natural and intelligently presented.

ambiva he never mentioned the price so where did you get that price from ?
The sink above the flash tank for washing your hand after using the toilet, so the dirty water can reuse for flash. I love the idea how they recycle water. Even you can reuse Tub water to wash your clothes.
Love their bathrooms and especially their toilets!
I visited Japan in 2017. I thought the toilet and shower was the best thing EVER!!!!
"Micah has the middle bed." Ha. So kawaii. Love the channel. 👍
Thanks Tosh!
Tosh T his kid girl or boy
Mark Abroad you got a boy or girl?
he's a boy
Tosh T
never thought I'd see a sitting shower
Usually people have a little plastic stool in those showers, so you're not actually sitting on the floor.
Hello Mark, You’re such an inspiration to my life. You’re face expressions are awesome. Guddos to tour good works
Thanks for sharing. I was just last night in a conversation with friends that traveling to other places is very educating.
