The reason why you were able to move in relatively quickly compared to other foreigners, is money. These prices are higher than what most people in Japan even earn.

for 2 person its normal. you have much high rent in tokyo.

Watching them look at apartments that are double my monthly salary in japan…

$4000 a month?!?! Oh my god

Must be making some serious cash. Even with 14mil yen a year which is executive wage you couldn’t afford these and that’s over double the average wage

We lived in the middle of the CBD with multiple rooms/carpark so it's quite normal. We were actually paying the lowest in our building until they decided to increase the rent.

Ouch, $3,200 a month, I would shed a tear every time I have to write a check for that every month, and if the apartment is not furnished, it would hurt even more.

the first was my fav too, really roomy and bright plus the cheapest one lol, but it's awesome that you guys finally found one that felt most comfortable and convenient after waiting so long! excited for all the upcoming vids ❤️❤️

Congrats on your apartment!! Just the little bit of what can see at your new place looks so nice ✨ Btw, happy to see Alex in your video! I watch his channel so it’s nice to see different KZreadrs you like collide

Yeah this doesn’t make any sense if you can afford 5000 dollars a month for an apartment you might as well get a house you’re married for one and a better investment would be a home. But if you can afford it I guess.

Congrats on the new apartment! I absolutely love Japan. I was in Tokyo in 2019 for the very first time. The food the culture everything is amazing.

Yay Alex! I love him. He’s got good energy. 😊 Congrats on your apartment!!

Congraaaaaaats for finding the apartment kiiim! Really cool apartments in general, they are so spacious and pretty! ty for sharing the hunting! It was really fun to watch! 😊

Apartmen4 is great but I kinda like the vibe of the apartment 1 even if it is empty, it is giving a cheerful vibe haha

This is so exciting!!! I cant wait to see the one you chose!!

So glad you used Alex!

Congratulations on your new apartments!

Omg, I remember watching your channel back in the day! Nice to see you back in Japan.

Apartment 4 looks the most spacious i like having space hate small rooms. And i like having large windows and high ceilings too. Also prefer a closed kitchen more than an open up kitchen. And a decent size balcony and privacy and quite too. Renting so expensive. Which one did you get in the end? Apartment 1 is nice too.

Happy you the three off you got an apartment. 🥰👍🐕

Seeing all these apartments is making me want to move to Japan again 😵‍💫

Wow 🤩 The prices of Japanese apts. was way up too high for me especially if u’re an ordinary employee and earning in minimum bracket 🤔🧐🤨

How long are you staying in Japan? Doesn’t it make sense to buy rather than rent at those prices?…unless you’re only there for a year🤷🏻‍♀️

Congrats tho!

Not only am I laughing at them prices cause I know I'll probably never afford them here in Japan. But also, I got a bit sad cause I'm thinking "Is that what you get for these prices?!". .. Might be just me but I have a serious hate relationship with real estate here

I'm going to sail the Mexico first I'm going to buy a chihuahua and then I'm going to sail to Hawaii hopefully by that time the island project will overturn its shares I'll be like balling by the time I get to Japan

At first I was like "wow, so expensive" but then you showed the apartments and it was so big I actually don't think it's expensive for all the space you have (coming from someone who has never looked around for apartments because I'm still living in a dorm).

@kimdao

Жыл бұрын

The apartments were quite large so I agree! Also if you are living with multiple people, you'll be splitting the rent and not paying it by yourself. Eric and I have always split the rent 50/50 even after we got married so we can both at least still have some savings after rent is taken out of our pay checks.

Waaaaaaaiiiiiit! But I wanna see the apartment you picked!!!!
