I love how the first appartment could have been completely renovated with just 300-500€ and increase the rent by 50€, but the landlord was probably like "hell no, who cares". It could have looked like the third appartment at least from the design etc.

@@ShootBigBucks I don't know the law in japan but usually you are allowed to change the appartment to some extend, as long as you can deliver it back in it's original state. I think, if you do it yourself and improve the quality of the appartment, the landlord cannot charge the tenant with increased rent. If he does i can imagine that you can charge him for the work you have done in his appartment, which would yet again lead to him telling the police that he never told you to improve his appartment. Overall, in a realistic scenario, if you better his appartment for free because you want to live there increasing your quality of life, he won't charge you with higher rent maybe even give you a little bonus like lowering it for a few months or even giving you free months for a while as a thank you gift. After you move he will be able to charge more afterall.

The first two apartments were really old school, but the second one was WAY nicer than the first for only $25 a month more. The third apartment was clean and modern. While more than twice as expensive, it was certainly worth it. It was actually an apartment, while the first two were basically sleeping rooms.

The first one was in *rough* shape, but literally nothing that some minor repairs and improvements the tenant could make themselves couldn't fix for a very small amount of money if they're handy. I'd take it over the 2nd one solely because someone is clearly cleaning the toilet. Judging by the apparent lack of care from the landlord it's probably just one of the tenants cleaning it but even still it's at least getting done. I wouldn't want to move into the 2nd one and end up being the only person who cleans the toilet for everyone.

One thing I find attractive about Japanese housing is how many options there are for single people who want to live alone. In America it's nearly impossible to find a studio apartment, most apartments are 1, 2 or 3 bedroom. So if you're single you have to rent a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment and share it with 1-2 roommates. I'd much rather just be able to rent a 1-room studio all to myself.

I actually loved the first traditional apartment. I don't know how it works in Japan, but if you're allowed to make improvements I would make it look nice. And be grateful for the opportunity to live in Japan. I've lived without indoor water and with a outhouse in the past and you figure it out and get used to it. Get a gym card or find a onsen. Wood polish, lime, new tatamis, a couple floor chairs and a table, a fresh futon and a couple of wok burners is a fairly easy start. A few house plants.... It's a pretty sweet start. And $200 per month leaves more money to fully explore the rest of Japan.

Thank You very much. You have a beautiful spirit and I loved seeing these interesting apartments.

Usually you must remove your shoes in Japanese houses to protect the floors from dirt, but in the first apartment, I think you need to keep your shoes on to protect your feet from the floor! 😂

Like a reverse genkan? Instead of slippers it has a pair of construction boots.

Very interesting, thanks for posting. As an American that has lived all over the USA in many different types of (poor) dwellings.. I can honestly say the only option for me that was shown in this video is the last one with the loft. The "shared toilets" and no shower dwellings are not an option, so $450+ is CHEAP for such a great space with private toilet/shower shown!

YOU ARE SO POSITIVE👌

If that first room shown had any more "personality", you'd need a hazmat suit.

Totally random - I saw this video last weekend, liked it, and wanted to see more apartment videos like this. And then today, Tuesday, one of your cousins, who I went to apparel design school with, posted your commercial on FB! Small world! And I can't wait to go back to visit Tokyo!

More videos like these would be fantastic ♥

My brain is instantly so attracted to these spaces. That first one I would absolutely volunteer to renovate it (exchange cost of materials for the rent $$ if possible).

Whenever a realtor says that a place has "character" or "personality", what they really mean is "It's old, half the stuff's broken or about to break and it's in dire need of renovation".

The third one is the only acceptable one to me. The first one I feel like I'd get stabbed in at night or vanish without a trace. The second one feels like someone's gonna watch me while I sleep in a feverish fit due to the e-coli I got from the toilet.

I agree

I know everyone loves the third apartment. But the first and second one have a charm to them: yes they're old and falling apart, but immerse yourself in the space and in the time period it was built for a bit. It was a different way of life. Things were simpler, life was slower. Life was always more and more beautifully complex as before mainstream technology, everyone lived within their own world. It's something that although will not best suit modern day, should still be appreciated and cherished as memorabilia for such a special time period.

Palo. You are so nice your personality is great your one good person love your vidios thanks

Wow!! Very cool video dude!!! The last apartment was super cool for the mony and what you get!! I could live there hands down!! I lived in Tokyo back in the 1980s...US Air Force at Yokota Air Base 4 1/2 yrs and LOVED IT!!! I got my first apartment off base in Kabe, Tokyo off of the Ome Line, but I drove to the base everyday in my 1975 Mitsubishi GTO GSR GALANT. My apartment was a new one, but what the Japanese called a "Rabbit Hutch" but I loved it!! Super cheap too! Keep the video's coming, I love them, takes be back! Kiotsukete ne!
