That's a huge and really nice apartment for such a low rent.

You're putting out great videos. No doubt your channel will explode.

God bless Chiba. Hard to believe there are such comfortable and brand new apartments for that price. What a ripoff. If I ever find an IT related job in Japan (I'm majoring in cybersecurity), I'm definetely checking that out.

Yes I know plenty of people who pay much higher rent for much smaller apartments in Tokyo. Chiba is a great option if you want the accessibility to Tokyo but also want a comfortable living space (providing you don’t live too deep into Chiba)

I wanna see the supermarket tour.

Chiba was the one area (That I went to) that I really felt like I was unwanted as a foreigner. Got a few death stares in Chiba park and a lot more confused "what the hell are you doing here?" type stares when walking around... Hope the situation for you isn't like that but just be fair warned that Chiba seemed to be not a foreigner friendly area. For reference, wasn't allowed in 2 bars in Sumida aka "No Gaijin" and shooed away so just be warry of where you're at! Love the apartment and hope it works out for you!

I’ve been in Chiba 6 years and never had any kind of situation like that. Although I do live right on the border of Chiba and Tokyo. Chiba city is pretty bad tbh I never go there, there’s just nothing to do there. There’s almost no foreigners in Chiba either. I think it just depends on the people you come across but I’ve had more death stares back in my own hometown in England haha

Amazing apt for the price! Just a note, it's not a 2LDK, it's a 1LDK. 1LDK = 1 bedroom + living room + dining/kitchen space The number in the front only refers to bedrooms....

@Retro_Japan

Thanks for watching! I’ll have to take it out with the housing company then as it’s listed as 2LDK. This kind of design is pretty common though with a separate room behind sliding doors. I used to think it was basically a scam to have 1 big room with sliding doors in the middle but I get the appeal now after living here

Great video what do you do for work if your don't mind me asking? I'm learning IT at the moment but I'm from the US and don't know much Japanese I wanted to know if I needed to know Japanese to work in japan.

that is insanely big How much m2 is it? did you nationalised before you can get an apartment? or are you on a work visa?

@Retro_Japan

It’s about 60m2. I’m already on a work visa and permanent contract which helps a lot but this housing company is actually very chill and foreigner friendly too

the perfect Japanese apartment doesn’t ex… can you share the company and the location of this apartment? I also live in Chiba (near Urayasu Sta. in the Tozai line) with my wife as of the moment, would definitely love to check this apartment out.

Thanks! I work in IT myself so can’t speak much about digital marketing but it is obviously a massive industry out here and with companies more frequently looking to hire overseas talent I’m sure there are plenty of opportunities. Normally just having conversational Japanese or higher should be enough but worth looking around job boards!
