Huge thanks to @SherryBerryjp for sharing her apartment with us! BTW - Here's 20+ More vids with Sherry!! bit.ly/VidsWithSherry BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ABOUT THE PROJECTOR! lol ----> Here it is amzn.to/3SqLqCB Full playlist of Tiny Apartments here: ruclips.net/p/PLtflILeTBlX_E6rFrloEFxP9reyc-fgHW
Talk about an amazing apartment, Sherry really did an amazing job setting everything up! It's compact and yet fully functional! p.s.: I can only watch in 480p, I can't make out the brand or model for the rice cooker from the video!
It’s so much fun to watch how Sherry made such a lovely well-organized and functioned home from the empty apartment! Wishing her all the best for her new life in Tokyo🥰Thank you for sharing this Norm!
Sherry seems like someone who you want to know and become friends with. She has such a warm and sunny disposition. I wish her many happy days in her new home. ❤
The corner chair is super important. I did something like that. It's when you need a break from your desk and want to get some perspective on life or something you are working on. Great stuff.
trust me you don't want to live on the outskirts While tokyo might seem crowded during the daytime, everyone goes home to the "outskirts" at night meaning a) the outskirts are WAY more crowded b) Trains to get there are often packed especially at peak times" c) Tokyo itself is rather quiet after business hours d) outskirts often means a variety of other increased expenses like the need for a car, or 2-3x the transportation cost going to and from etc.. Its better to find a quiet area IN tokyo, and enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with it I visited a friend in"quiet" Saitama and it was hell even on the weekend, the trains out there (and back) were weirdly crowded (and few), then we had to wait 40 minutes for a simple restaurant for lunch, and hit a shopping center and supermarket to grab supplies and food, and from the parking lot to the shopping center itself, it was painfully crowded at least in Tokyo, you can avoid the crowds if one spot is too crowded, go to another if your area in the outskirts is crowded theres no escape youre stuck in it
@@TokyoLens Thank you for saying this. I live 3 minutes away from Ueno station, and past 19:00, my neighbourhood is dead quiet. It is quite the opposite from what most people would think.
right? i wouldnt wanna live in japan, but its interesting to see :) have you seen the video he did in that super narrow appartment in the middle of two streets? that was very claustrophobic to me! 1. im pretty tall, 2. im not skinny (dutch people be like... lol)
Galvanised steel and the aunts screws 😂😂Some of those videos are hilarious and occasionally they have good ideas 😊 She has a lovely practical home that looks clean, lovely and functional. Your gift was fantastic 💖
@SueP-jg9vx it is! David deciding to take over a public toilet to do it up to live in, deciding to live inside an oil tanker, extending a non existent flat into next door and blocking all their windows or creating somewhere for his billion children 😂😂😂
Nice to see Sherry again in a video. Looks like a nice little apartment. I think it's nice that you are not passing through the kitchen to get into the main living space and that they are completely separate. Having seen the live streams on Sherry's channel where she assembled some of the furniture it's nice to see it all came together ok. But we did tell you that you needed to get her something like a 8ft Snorlax plushie as a moving in gift😂
thats actually a really good point and yeah!! Sherry has been making the best of it with the streams!! LOL the 8ft snorlax was just a little out of budget haha
Sherry found quite a deal for $600. Had no idea something that large could be found in Tokyo central. Good job of organizing! I could live with that apartment.
a lot of things are "cheap" in standard exchange to USD around the world due to geopolitical reasons. but the locals do not use USD so direct conversion skews the reality of affordability.
@@hzhang1228 True. For a Japanese person, this apartment feels like $1,000 and considered a bit pricy. But sill it's in the dead center of Tokyo. So it's worth it.
I thought the gas gentleman was printing out an CVS receipt. Surprised there was space for shelving next to the refrigerator and great it solved the electrical plug problem.
I'm absolutely enjoying her incredibly accurate girl measuring of the fridge. That is exactly how I measure things and eyeball everything and it's usually right. I love it how you were like oh I doubt you and then you measured it and she's like exactly spot on and yeah maybe she could get a thinner fridge maybe those exist but like the fridge she's used to she knows exactly what size it is. 😂❤
Morning, Norm! Thanks to Sherry for sharing a look of her new place! It looks great! Also, appreciate the info of Japanese construction in regards to earthquakes.
Sherry, you have turned your small apartment into a useful and comfortable space. You look to have all the facilities a single person might need and it’s easy to maintain and keep clean. Having downsized from a large house to a small mid terrace house I have all I could need or want and with less cleaning. 😊
@@sherryberryjp Surprised only 3 years. You have an American accent. I would have guessed you grew up in the states or spent like a decade or more. Where at in the states? Accent sounds midwestern to me.
Please tell Sherry that i love how she did her apartment and it was such a joy to get to see her fun personality. Ots always amzing to meet people of other cultures, especially where I'm homeboumd medically right now. You two gave me a nice little mental and emotional vacation from my situation. Health permitting i would love to visit Japan someday My nana is Thai and ive been learning about her culture and it just makes me want to learn more about other Asian countries and cultures ❤
I like Sherry's new apartment! And that chair looks very comfy! Perfect for reading, relaxing or watching a movie with that beamer you gave her. 👍 I watched the two live streams she did in which she built the bed and the desk. If I hadn't had a desk already(built by my dad so not planning on replacing it any time soon) I think I would've wanted one like that too! It looks nice!
@@sherryberryjp 30 years ago - I lived on Prince Street south of Kōjimachi eki in a similar type apartment. I think the building is gone now. I hope it works out.
I love her place, it's nice and cozy. When I saw the second chair, my first thought was for it to be a chair to just sit in and relax, read a book, or other things. *snerks* That silly playfulness at the outro!!
interior designer chiming in here: I know the place isn't finished, but i would recommend getting a small circular rug (not shag), a tiny bookshelf to set next to the chair, a small potted plant to place on the bookshelf, maybe an incense device or humidifier to go with the plant, and of course some kind of small table, with wheels attached, if it can be one with drawers or shelves even better to increase storage options (the projector was a GREAT gift, well done)
Yes, the problem with doors, like you said "you bump into them". That situation doesn't happen with sliding doors or accordeon doors. But then these can't keep the cold "out" in winter.
I would absolutely pay $600/mo to live there! That same apartment here in LA would be like...$1400, and would be in a bad area. Gosh I'm always so jealous of Japanese apartments.
This apartment so reminds me of the places I stay at whenever I'm travelling around Japan and then the price does hit hard when you think about the fact that renting such a place for just a week would usually cost more. I do love what she did to the place. Very functional and lovely.
I absolutely adore all the little hanging stuff in the kitchen/sink area. When I move to Japan I def want to see how creative I can get with small spaces. Great work as always!
Your videos are always my favourite! You’re actually teaching me to be a minimalist as I’m currently a holder but now transitioning to minimalism. You show me how people in Tokyo live. I have to say out of all the houses you’ve shown, Sherrys apartment seems like a place I would want to stay with minus the pack of sockets… also for the prices it’s quite amazing!
Awesome video, I hope you fixed that crack on the door frame 😂 That's not a bad place, and if the views are as good, $600 a month isn't bad! Love the little useful things that Sherry was able to get. We bought the same projector to use at our hotel stays in Japan when we come over 😅😂
I love what Sherry did with her place. I was trying to figure out the best use of the space for me and I would have been using a bookshelf next to the kitchen/living room divider door for additional storage space, but other than that I would like it just the way she has it. I thought the extra chair was for visitors until she explained about the dining area. Still, the chair is perfect for both uses. In such a central location, $600 is an absolute bargain!
$600 😭 once again complaining from ireland because there are no 1 bedroom apartments here for less than €900 and they're obsessed with building family homes instead of homes for singles/couples. this would be my ideal apartment but it just doesn't exist here.
Same here in the Western US. An apartment like that is probably a little easier to come by in my city than yours, but it would cost a minimum of $1200, probably more if the location is especially good, and be marketed as “luxury housing.”
Awesome video as always Norm and Sherry. Congratulations Sherry on your new apartment in the must amazing city in Japan. And I love your tiny apartment videos Norm.
$600 seems like a great price. She really did amazing setting it up. I would probably struggle trying to figure it out with how tight it is, so I always enjoy seeing how everyone organizes these smaller places.
Whoooo that was such a fun apartment tour😂!! Thanks Norm for another great video!! Also the Anker projector is so small and powerful💥Congrats Sherry on moving successfully to a cute apartment in Tokyo🎉 (love Ninja Sherry🥷lol)
I think the price is ok taking in to consideration that it is sooo centrally located.😊 Love the natural light coming in...and the chair is a must! One needs another area to do stuff that's not in an office chair! the rice cooker is so cute!! And the house warming gift is perfect!!🎉
That's a great looking place! Really like what Sherry has done with it. If I didn't have so much stuff I'd happily live there. I'm kinda of envious of the bathroom. I don't have a drier and that's fine in summer as I have a balcony but having the bathroom with drier function would be great during winter. Congrats on the move, Sherry! Hope you enjoy living there!
I'm really so impressed with what Sherry was able to do with the space! It gives me a lot of inspiration. And she radiates such a bright energy, it's such a joy to see her in any of your videos! I was not expecting the galvanized steel meme, it took me out 😂 this video was the perfect length, I wish we could get more like this but it feels so rare how often close friends move! Best of luck in Tokyo :)
I love these contents. So relatable as Singapore housing are pretty tiny too but way way more expensive. So getting idea for space use from these videos is what I need. Hehe.
Sherry is a sweetheart, very kind. I love the size of the apartment. I haven't seen many Japanese apartments, but looks like it is big compared to the ones I noticed when I watch different videos. Thanks for sharing.
Love her apartment!! I would put the bed on the sad chair wall though! (Right by her closet) Then put up some divider curtains. On the other wall, should be her living space! When walking in, living space should be seen. But thats my designer opinion.. lol great storage solutions so far! Either way, looks amazing and I would truly live there! 😊
That's a great price for a central location in a top tier city, even accounting for the fact that Tokyo is generally less expensive than others. Well worth a few small initial headaches with broken stuff needing to be repaired right away. The size is ample for a single person and I'd especially appreciate the large closet. I also totally agree with needing a comfy place to relax, read, and dine, although personally I would have gone with more traditional furniture like a Kotatsu and a futon to allow more flexible use of the limited space. I'd probably go with an L-shaped desk in the area where she has the bed and have some sort of free standing divider or folding screen to help delineate working space, leaving the rest of the main room free as a separate living space with the Kotatsu as the central feature. I spend a lot of time working from home though so I probably need that separation of function more than others might.
I remember when I first came to Japan, I stayed in an Airbnb in Yakuendai, and the place is just like what Shery-san lived in, tho a bit older and smaller still. For context, I am from Singapore and the minimum houses are 3-room flats, but the issue is that they are all meant for families. 1-room and 2-room flats exist, but only for the low-income families. So Japanese apartments like these are way smaller than what I see in Singapore, but despite that, for an individual it is not just perfectly sufficient, but actually very spacious for a lot of things. Also I like how we went from "barely tiny" to "comfortably tiny", which I like haha. And now watching the next part of the video where Sherry-san has furnished her house, I actually love it. Without the requirement of starting a family and just being alone, the freedom and spacious-ness of the one room is actually very nice.
Moving to a new apartment is no joke. It's very stressful and emotional feat for me. It's great to see how you guys managed it, and glad that the things needed to be replaced have been taken care of. I'm happy to see Sherry cozying up to her new apartment. Congratulations, Sherry! 🎉❤
She is adorable, can't deny it! 💚 My flat is just under £400 a month but nearly double the size....but I live in a pretty dull town in Ross-on-Wye in England!
For someone who lives in a small apartment (for North American standards) I also learned the value of putting up hooks and magnets in the kitchen. I literally have no drawers and only one cupboard, so there is no space for utensils, spatulas, cooking knives, etc.
That's a great price! In my city (Minneapolis, MN, USA), it's very hard to find an okay studio apartment for less than USD$1,000/month. And that does not usually have a space for an indoor washing machine! Love that it's in the middle of things, too. Happy new home, Sherry!
Congrats Sherry!! Thank you for letting Norm take us around your place!! ^_^ I would totally live in a space like that. I love smallish places. (not "tiny" but comfortable....and this looks comfy) I hope your stay there is safe and that good memories are made. I love Gushers too!!! ^_^
is always so interesting watching tokyo house tours, its nice seeing it before and after furnished, though is funny how different it is from my first week in my current danish apartment, I literally had a matress on the floor in what is now my office/dining room, a single purple side table, a power strip, and an old wooden dining chair

Thank you
5:46 that galvanised steel reference looool
I figured if an average of 350 people were going to make the comment per vid anyway, I might as well do it too hahaha
😁
Cant forget about getting the screws from your aunt
am I missing some lore here? Any references to the origin of that?
@@sokrates297 it's a meme that's popular with kids these days.
The corner chair is super important. I did something like that. It's when you need a break from your desk and want to get some perspective on life or something you are working on. Great stuff.
Or where you watch
It’s also a good spot for a visitor that isn’t your bed!
$600 in the MIDDLE of the most popular city?? YES!!! Although I would have to get rid of over half of my stuff.
600/month ?
@@herychandraa Of course.
I pay $1400 in rural Canada. I would rather pay a little more and live on the outskirts of Tokyo
trust me
you don't want to live on the outskirts
While tokyo might seem crowded during the daytime, everyone goes home to the "outskirts" at night meaning
a) the outskirts are WAY more crowded
b) Trains to get there are often packed especially at peak times"
c) Tokyo itself is rather quiet after business hours
d) outskirts often means a variety of other increased expenses like the need for a car, or 2-3x the transportation cost going to and from etc..
Its better to find a quiet area IN tokyo, and enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with it
I visited a friend in"quiet" Saitama
and it was hell
even on the weekend, the trains out there (and back) were weirdly crowded (and few), then we had to wait 40 minutes for a simple restaurant for lunch, and hit a shopping center and supermarket to grab supplies and food, and from the parking lot to the shopping center itself, it was painfully crowded
at least in Tokyo, you can avoid the crowds
if one spot is too crowded, go to another
if your area in the outskirts is crowded
theres no escape
youre stuck in it
@@TokyoLens Thank you for saying this. I live 3 minutes away from Ueno station, and past 19:00, my neighbourhood is dead quiet. It is quite the opposite from what most people would think.

no shortage!

Nice to see Sherry again in a video.
Looks like a nice little apartment. I think it's nice that you are not passing through the kitchen to get into the main living space and that they are completely separate.
Having seen the live streams on Sherry's channel where she assembled some of the furniture it's nice to see it all came together ok.
But we did tell you that you needed to get her something like a 8ft Snorlax plushie as a moving in gift😂
thats actually a really good point
and yeah!! Sherry has been making the best of it with the streams!!
LOL the 8ft snorlax was just a little out of budget haha
Sherry found quite a deal for $600. Had no idea something that large could be found in Tokyo central. Good job of organizing! I could live with that apartment.
a lot of things are "cheap" in standard exchange to USD around the world due to geopolitical reasons. but the locals do not use USD so direct conversion skews the reality of affordability.

That's a great looking place! Really like what Sherry has done with it. If I didn't have so much stuff I'd happily live there. I'm kinda of envious of the bathroom. I don't have a drier and that's fine in summer as I have a balcony but having the bathroom with drier function would be great during winter.
Congrats on the move, Sherry! Hope you enjoy living there!
I'm indian and I loved the apartment, the way she has organised it. ❣️ That projector is cherry on the cake☺️
I'm really so impressed with what Sherry was able to do with the space! It gives me a lot of inspiration. And she radiates such a bright energy, it's such a joy to see her in any of your videos! I was not expecting the galvanized steel meme, it took me out 😂 this video was the perfect length, I wish we could get more like this but it feels so rare how often close friends move! Best of luck in Tokyo :)
So cool to finally see how it all came together. Congrats on the beautiful space Sherry, and thanks for the tour as always Norm. This was a fun one!!
I love these contents. So relatable as Singapore housing are pretty tiny too but way way more expensive. So getting idea for space use from these videos is what I need. Hehe.
Sherry is a sweetheart, very kind. I love the size of the apartment. I haven't seen many Japanese apartments, but looks like it is big compared to the ones I noticed when I watch different videos. Thanks for sharing.
Love her apartment!! I would put the bed on the sad chair wall though! (Right by her closet) Then put up some divider curtains. On the other wall, should be her living space! When walking in, living space should be seen. But thats my designer opinion.. lol great storage solutions so far! Either way, looks amazing and I would truly live there! 😊
She is the most adorable person I have ever seen in my life. She just beams! Such a ray of sunshine.
Welcome to the channel!!!
@@TokyoLens Thank you so much! How sweet of you!
That's a great price for a central location in a top tier city, even accounting for the fact that Tokyo is generally less expensive than others. Well worth a few small initial headaches with broken stuff needing to be repaired right away. The size is ample for a single person and I'd especially appreciate the large closet. I also totally agree with needing a comfy place to relax, read, and dine, although personally I would have gone with more traditional furniture like a Kotatsu and a futon to allow more flexible use of the limited space. I'd probably go with an L-shaped desk in the area where she has the bed and have some sort of free standing divider or folding screen to help delineate working space, leaving the rest of the main room free as a separate living space with the Kotatsu as the central feature. I spend a lot of time working from home though so I probably need that separation of function more than others might.
I LOVE Sherry’s new place!!!
I remember when I first came to Japan, I stayed in an Airbnb in Yakuendai, and the place is just like what Shery-san lived in, tho a bit older and smaller still.
For context, I am from Singapore and the minimum houses are 3-room flats, but the issue is that they are all meant for families. 1-room and 2-room flats exist, but only for the low-income families. So Japanese apartments like these are way smaller than what I see in Singapore, but despite that, for an individual it is not just perfectly sufficient, but actually very spacious for a lot of things.
Also I like how we went from "barely tiny" to "comfortably tiny", which I like haha. And now watching the next part of the video where Sherry-san has furnished her house, I actually love it. Without the requirement of starting a family and just being alone, the freedom and spacious-ness of the one room is actually very nice.
Moving to a new apartment is no joke. It's very stressful and emotional feat for me. It's great to see how you guys managed it, and glad that the things needed to be replaced have been taken care of. I'm happy to see Sherry cozying up to her new apartment. Congratulations, Sherry! 🎉❤
That’s a fun video and Sherry is a good sport. I like this micro apartment which has enough room for everything you need.
Omg I need that projector! Congrats for moving to tokyo sherry!
Sherry’s place looks so cozy! That’s a pretty reasonable price for some of what I’ve seen in Tokyo, too!
Not bad right?
Thanks so much!!!
It is very cozy~
She is adorable, can't deny it! 💚 My flat is just under £400 a month but nearly double the size....but I live in a pretty dull town in Ross-on-Wye in England!
Love the maintenance mans little Cameo I love it when asian people bow out of respect it's the sweetest thing ever such a lovely culture
Sherry's positivity is infectious
My wife and I are moving back to Tokyo soonish. This is encouraging!!
Great seeing the before and after for Sherry's apartment. Thanks for another awesome apartment adventure.
Wow, an amazing spot. If I could move to Japan I would love a place like that! Congrats Sherry!
Notification squad! Love these (not so) tiny apartment videos. And welcome to Tokyo, Sherry!
(^-^) Thanks~
Thank you!!
For someone who lives in a small apartment (for North American standards) I also learned the value of putting up hooks and magnets in the kitchen. I literally have no drawers and only one cupboard, so there is no space for utensils, spatulas, cooking knives, etc.
We need to be creative right!? That's always the fun part!
That's a great price! In my city (Minneapolis, MN, USA), it's very hard to find an okay studio apartment for less than USD$1,000/month. And that does not usually have a space for an indoor washing machine! Love that it's in the middle of things, too. Happy new home, Sherry!
Congrats Sherry!! Thank you for letting Norm take us around your place!! ^_^ I would totally live in a space like that. I love smallish places. (not "tiny" but comfortable....and this looks comfy) I hope your stay there is safe and that good memories are made. I love Gushers too!!! ^_^
Good job Sherry your place is really cute and functional. Thank you for sharing.
I enjoy these japanese apartment videos its always interesting seeing how creative people have to get with limited spaces.
600 a month barely gets you a place that size in a podunk Wisconsin town. I'd gladly pay that for central Tokyo!
Sherry is so fun - great personality and her place looks great - thanks for sharing.
😆
is always so interesting watching tokyo house tours, its nice seeing it before and after furnished, though is funny how different it is from my first week in my current danish apartment, I literally had a matress on the floor in what is now my office/dining room, a single purple side table, a power strip, and an old wooden dining chair
