    • @TokyoLens
      @TokyoLens  Месяц назад +128

      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

    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!!🎉

    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!

    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 :)

    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!

    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.

    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 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.
