Inside a $5,000/mo Contemporary Tokyo ENTIRE HOUSE | Japanese Home Tour

Everyone assumes Tokyo's all condos -- seeing what houses in Tokyo are like, would you prefer to live in a house or condo here?

Best place for hide and seek...all my frnds and czns would make this place the best game ever.

I don't think I could ever get used to the tiny spaced Japanese Apartments or Houses. The Office would make me claustrophobic, so would the bathroom. And the rest of the living space isn't much better. The windows are on the top of the walls, so you can't see anything. Stairs are way too narrow and the kitchen lacks an oven - as do most other japanese homes. The only way seeing myself in a japanese house would be to remodel the whole place, and not only the furniture but pretty much everything, from windows, walls, etc.
Unless maybe it's one of those traditional pre-war homes, which are kinda lovely actually.

HI CAMERAMAN!! HIHI
Again a stunning place to life, thanks so much sweetie!!
Lots of love from an old rebel-Pinkie

Instant "like" after you mentioned "Brazil" movie. By the way, thanks for great content!

what a weird house. I'm truly baffled by their design choices.

You need a blender and mini fridge for a good mini bar, hence the plugs, right?

Looking at the ceiling and floor, that one bedroom has 2 entrances because it is setup to be dividable into 2 sections. It just isn't configured that way at the moment. This is reinforced by the "smaller" bedroom being fancier.

Speaking of that 2nd bedroom, I'm a weirdo for thinking the lower closet spaces would be cozy little places to sleep

Ужасная планировка

I don't like ti

About how much would this house be if this were for sale?

No one is going to see this 1 year past the video. But, try to tone down the local amenities like Starbucks. If part of the excitement of living in a foreign land is because it's "Foreign" Starbucks isn't it. It would drive me nuts, if I lived there, walked out the door and saw Starbucks, Dunkin', McDonalds, Wendy's + Burger King every day. It's nice to have a piece of home available, but let's say you go back to the states. 20 years from now, as you remines, you really want to be saying "That one time in Starbucks....."? I suppose to the locals though, this stuff is exotic. But, the locals are pretty sophisticated. Support the local businesses, even if chain businesses. Stay away from the international corporate ones.

"It's a cross between Soho in NY & Silverlake in LA"...

LOL, I'll pass.
Not the scene for me. I'm sure someone would love it though who likes that kinda location. Absolutely beautiful place regardless, the designer should be proud.

"This is, surprisingly, the office-"
Uh... yeah, nah... that spot is funky as sin for an office.

"It has an A/C"
Just shut up and take my money!

the kitchen island looks like a picnic table with a sink

Lmao all the videos I've watched so far of Japanese apartments are so small 😂😂😂 Why are they so tiny ? 😂😂😂

This house was made for midgets.

How many socks does this man own 😊

I will teach meditation through fire,water ., here 🕯🕯🕯

Super neat house! I'm not a fan of the floating stairs, my balance can be just awful when I'm tired, but otherwise I could see that as a place I wouldn't mind living in. Waaay out of my price range, but if I ever win the lottery I'll keep this channel in mind XD

Sharla and Chris weren’t interested in this property? Br2 could be a guest BR and/or filming space.

Is the rental foreigner friendly?

OH MY GAWD I LOVE THE TINY GARDEN RIGHT OUTSIDE THE OFFFFFFFIIICCCCCEEE!!!!

I would love to have a little ricefish porch pond nestled in some mossy waterfalls to look at all day, sheit!

Do people rent and sublet with approval from landlord?

What did the last stairs lead to?

hmm my much smaller apartment cost way more than that..... maybe I should move to japan?`X)

I bet I know what that spot beside the TV mount that you said might be for a mini-bar might be for. All of that cabinetry looks fairly old so I bet that cubby was for a CRT TV that you could hide away to clean up the look. All of the wiring coming out of the wall passthrough behind the mount was added later on.

Is that near the Peacock store?

i really love this house, only thing (which is probably out of your control) it could have done with a bit of a clean, like the courtyard walls and closets

I live in Japan and I still wonder why they make everything so small and low. Other Asian countries don't and they have similar size people

Thanks for showing us allnthe cool places in tokyo, how much would this place sale for.

everything on Japanese house is so small. Not only the house itself small, everything about it is small. Your video even gives me claustrophobic. I think the ceilings needs to be 50% taller on every floor. And the top floor should be just one bedroom with a bathroom.

i don't like the kitchen, all the cabinetry is on the floor

I dunno how new the house is but are you sure thst recessed space in the living room console wasn't originally for crt TV and when tvs got thinner they just mounted Vesa and shifted everything over?

I'm thinking that Alex and CaptainSparklez are dinstant brothers!

They thought of everything!

My only problem with this house is that everything seens not that good for someone over 6"... from the garage lock to the bedroons doors

Chris Broad introduced me to your channel. You should thank the affable brit and give him a gift of fried family mart chicken for this sub

Don't like this one. I guess that $5,000 is mostly going towards size.

I really like your channel and you are great to show all the places. But, most of the places, just make me wonder if there is any architect working in Japan. What an awful house! I know, most of the things must be culture, like why didn't they make real windows facing the street so the house can get more light? I actually saw some houses just like that. And the whole glass bathroom that if you are in the office you can go see what the other people is doing. The weird long bedrooms... It's just not good at all...

I'm always impressed by how they plan an apartment's foyer/entrance hall. Hope this is applied more in my country

always funny watching quirky nerds attempt fashion. Like wtf are you wearing man

I think that 2nd bedroom with the floor level closet is perfect for a child. I'm not sure why he believes this 2 bedroom rental is not large enough for a family with 1 child. People in large cities in the US like NY and San Francisco live in apartments as big as only the lower level of this rental. This rental has a whole, huge open space living room and kitchen plus underground parking with storage. Definitely more than enough room. The 1st larger bedroom, I would think about blocking off the 2nd door so there would be more usable space but even if you don't there's still enough space in that room.

for 5k a month..........lol

You come of as quit dismissive of Japanese culture either that or your just rude/ignorant. Other than that nice vid.

Did I miss the fridge???
