Now that you don't live there anymore, could you tell us where it was? Just to compare with other apartments in the same area. I am looking for an apartment to rent for next year. Thanks

Thank you KZread algorithm for suggesting this lovely channel! I'm a Grandma from Northern Canada and love to see how young people are doing all over the world! WhenI was a young student I had a teeny tiny apartment Overtop of a bookstore. I have fond memories of those years! Your apartment is adorable. You've used every square inch, but it's not over crowded. It's fascinating to see how people around the world live!🇨🇦😊👵

This is such a lovely comment! Hope you're doing well Ms. Wong!

Such a cute space! You did a great job! I think here in the part of the US that I live it's like $1200 for a studio! It's crazy. Can't wait to see what you do with your new space!

Okay so like. Your ridiculously good at using space efficiently and it’s so satisfying to see

Your apartment is so nice Allison!! I just moved to Tokyo myself and I’m really struggling with how to design my apartment lol. I am not good at interior design and I don’t know how to make the most of my space…but this video gave me some great ideas!! Thank you!!! 😊

I'm so impressed. Your flat is the same size as mine, but you make it look so much bigger and decorate it so well 😍

Eventhough it's a tiny space you made a lot of smart decisions to make it into a really nice place. Not sure if I could've done it 😂. Nice video as always and congrats on your 11.1k

The amount of storage solutions in this space. Wow!

Good luck on the apartment hunt! Can't wait to see the process, I love moving vlogs lol. Let me live vicariously. As an American who can barely afford a cheap apartment with two roommates, I get it. There's no way I could live alone here in the States anytime in the next decade at least. Happy for you that you can live that dream!

Exciting to hear about your move! I just published my first vlog about my travel to Japan two weeks ago, and it was really your videos that inspired me to make it and make more Japan vlogs in the future. Love your video style! 😊

I adore your apartment tour! Such an amazing place - how you've organized it. Thanks for sharing! I am new to your channel and am glad, that I've found you today. I enjoy watching your videos almost whole day 🙂 Looking forward for the new ones and your stories 🤗

Your apartment is a small, comfortable situation:) Love you use of space!!!

Love the way you used the space

Looks great!

How exciting, moving again 😊

Thanks for the video! I'm moving to Tokyo soon and this video gave me a lot of ideas for how to layout an apartment of this size! ^-^

You fit in so much stuff, looks great!

I think you did a great job decorating your apartement and fitting so much in that space. The studio area is very cute and seems bigger, thanks for that advice. Also, I love the bathroom area. Good luck with the apartment hunt :)

It's cute for me also. And I love your minimalist thingy all around your apartment. 😁

I really like the video introducing Japanese apartments

Such a cute living space! Happy to find new youtubers in Japan. I'll hopefully be moving out in the spring and trying to work up the courage to start a channel.

Thanks for posting this. Nice use of your space. I finally bought a bidet and wonder why I waited so long. The bath heat\fill features are interesting.

I like that shelves above your washing machine so much! Nice usage of less space

You did a great job,sweet studio

I loooove your Card Captor Sakura posters 😍😍

It is pretty small but you are good at storing your things. I'm glad you are moving to a bigger space. 😊😊

ugh it’s so cute. 🥺✨

可愛いくて、清潔で整理整頓されてる素敵なお部屋ですね😊

you're so extremely efficient with the space you have, incredible haha. For some reason I thought the apartment is much bigger, I think the sectioning helps to give off that vibe too. Fingers crossed for another apartment tour in two months!

I stayed in two Airbnb apartments in Tokyo in 2018 and both had the combo washer/dryer. EXCEPT those freaking things took like four hours to do a load and then I still ended up hanging up the clothes for a bit after because they still weren’t dry enough.

I just yesterday watched your previous apartment tour in 2021 and I laughed so hard as I saw your showe closet now. In 2021 you said you could fit 12 pairs in there. Well you showed your mini self from 2021 that there is more space 😅

Hello Allison! You're so resouceful; you made it look like a coozy cute place to live in 😍 I'm moving to Tokyo soon and I was wondering if you've got any advice on how to find an aparment. Thank you in advance!

Too small for me to live in for me nut the price you pay is so much cheaper than a similar space in Miami! Thanks for the insightful tour!

Crazy how I guessed it to be JPY80,000 a month! It's a really nice size apartment, not too big but not too small either. It's too much money for me to pay as a student from Malaysia so I've settled for a room in a sharehouse just a few stations away from Ikebukuro. But I'm in the process of moving into my new apartment which will be closer to my work place so I'm excited! It's no where near as big as your place but at least it's a few stations away from Shibuya -- my fave place! 🙆🏻‍♀️

Love to see how your space has evolved, Allison! I see you have a wooden topper on your IKEA Raskog cart - do you recall where it’s from? I’ve been looking for one for a while, but haven’t been sure how well they’d fit.

I think your apartment is super cute, you did a great job ! Are Internet and water, electricity etc... included in the rent ?

I really like your apartment. It’s really cute and you’ve made the most out of it. You even inspired me with your strict section idea when I redecorated my bedroom last year to fit in a small home office area. Although my apartment is much bigger, I never planned to work at home befor covid happened, and therefore didn’t have space for a working desk. But with your videos you gave me some pretty good ideas how I might rearrange my furniture that I have a working section and a sleeping section in my bedroom and it still looks good. So thanks for your inspiration and I’m looking forward to see you moving and decorating that new apartment. Are you planning for another studio or more like an one bedroom apartment? Is that even possible in Tokyo for a decent price? I hope you’ll find something you like.

Hi Allison, you apartment is bigger than mine was but you’ve got luxury too. Oooooo, love your bath tub. The nice ones are one of the luxuries of Japan that make going back home for many people who have lived in Japan tsurai, or uncomfortable. We miss the Japanese style bath (unless you are one of those super tall people who couldn’t fit in the bath). 😅 However the apartment spaces are claustrophobia inducing. Allison did great with the “zones”. One of mine was too small to do even that. The whole apartments have often been smaller than our closet back home or smaller than children’s room spaces (back home the child’s room was often smaller). As Allison said, the six mat or 22 squ meters seems or is a NORMAL average size and you can go a lot smaller. Mine were smaller, one was way smaller, as in less than half Some luxury places are bigger. It is for single people, because it is thought that single people don’t need space. The space is supposedly averaged per person for couples or families, but in reality many of us need space such as a living kitchen dining etc area and some natural light if we are to live some years and not become a sick, a nutcase,or develop other mental issues. It would also be nice to invite people over too, but Tokyo has a cafe culture or bar culture so people meet there. We don’t have our own space to create in and share with others. Of course it can be fun to join friends in a cafe and try out different places….but prices add up, so some people stop meeting friends if they can’t afford it. So there are pluses and minuses to everything and everywhere. Side note: Cleaning and mold is an issue with the lack of air flow, and cockroaches can be an issues hiding in small places and in stuff that is packed in.

Good job 🐱🌹

Congratulations on moving

Wow you have so many shoesss! Where from FL?? I was born and raised in Orlando but i had to move in 2017 because of how insane rent got! I had my daughter in 2015 and I couldn't even wrap my head around how i would survive. Probably would have to work two full time jobs plus have to pay daycare in order to work those jobs, pay rent just to lay my head for a couple of hours and never get to see my daughter. I now live in Puerto Rico and it's so much easier. It's crazy to think about paying car insurance, renters insurance, etc now after living somewhere else.

Beautiful ❤❤.

It is cute if crowded.

OH MY GOD! Yes! Create spaces! I could never explain it properly yet I've always done that with my room to separate the desk (study/work) area from the bed area. Your brain creates two imaginary rooms just by placing furniture correctly. Also rent is not bad at all, pretty similar to prices in my country. How expensive was it to move in? (You know, all those hidden fees).

@AllisoninTokyo

Moving is crazy here, about 4-5 times the monthly rent in initial fees/deposit 🫣

it's all in the attitude. If the place is fine for you, then its's the best that anything else could be. There are depressed and dissatisfied people living in far more spacious and luxurious spaces in West Central Park. But this gal is fine.

Hi! I would like to know, by that price do you get free internet or do you have to install internet usage yourself? I want to know how much it costs to install the internet. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE 🥺 your apartment is just my DREAM so cute ! 🥹

May i ask what is in between of refrigerator and oven?

Makes me feel a bit embarrassed to think of how spoiled I was as a child. I had an 'apartment' and my bedroom was easily 6x larger than this room plus a big 'living room' area and my own bathroom. All it was missing was a kitchen tbh but 8 year olds probably shouldn't have kitchens... I like how cozy the room is. It really makes you think about the essentials and not have junk drawers everywhere.

Hi Allison, how old are you? How way you made to live in Tokyo and study there? Please my daughter want too in a futur

i feel like it's a sims tiny house

It seems that Allison has made lemonade out of her lemon of an apartment. She'd make a great wife!

It’s interesting about the cheap vs expensive. When I came to Japan, a USA person would have considered the 800 price in Japan for a closet “apartment” to have been extremely expensive and nonsensical. Now the prices for housing in the USA AND OTHER PLACES HAVE BECOME INCREDIBLY IMMORAL AND IRRESPONSIBLE relative to the lower pay rungs, and even middle pay rungs; it’s sad and disappointing to see. So now, the 800 price in Japan is considered cheap. It is very interesting to see that change. Anyhow, I was always impressed, despite 5inking the small space had the potential to lead to mental issues, that most people were housed in Japan, even if in a small space. The mold is a health issue Pugh.

I really like your appartment. The kitchen area is a bit small for my liking, but I like to cook 😅 Is it hard to get an appartment if you're a foreigner rn? What's your experience? Did you start looking?

well this was fun... tnx 4 the tour. heres an idea, instead of moving into a BiGGER apartment? jst eliminate some stuff. i mean, u have more cloths and BAGs than me and any THREE of my friends :)

You’re apartment is fine even though I wasn’t able to see the balcony 🤦🏻‍♂️ You’ve a lot of stuff if U could eliminate or sell …You would come to realize how big the apartment is .. Hopefully the next apartment You talked about might be enough but l doubt 😔

How much do you get paid as an English teacher?

How wonderful Japan is to make apartments that poor people can afford, whether you're in college or not.

Why bed??? If you love Japan so much why you don’t sleep on the floor???
