Hope you guys find this video helpful! Make sure to like and subscribe! ❤ I plan on making a lot more long-form content moving forward. 😊
Label it Kanagawa. It's not Tokyo. I was wondering what kind of sorcery u had to be doing to have a 80k yen 2 bedroom in Tokyo in a building that looks relatively new.
Loved your apartment video. Very informational and nicely done. Having so much natural light in your apartment I think makes for a very soothing and peaceful environment. It's great to actually see a real apartment in Japan and not just professionally done rental photos that do not provide you a real sense of the space. Hope to see more videos of your experiences in and around Japan. Great work!
Hi Augie!
I love your video as it is very informational and you deliver it well. It is amazing to see the way you decorate your apartment as it seems very cosy and feels so homely. It is also interesting to see how you managed to get almost all items in your house from Amazon 😊
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! I appreciate it. And yes, Amazon is amazing haha
In our military housing in Kanagawa we have the same metal counters in our kitchen, same tile walls in our kitchen, same toilet paper holder, same towel holder, and the same medicine cabinet as you.
If you don’t like your chair Nitori and IKEA deliver.
I didn't know that! Interesting. I guess they might be around the same aged and made by similar companies? Not sure, but very cool. Thanks!
Great tour! Great personality! I enjoyed everything and you transformed a box into a nice little home.
God bless you and your future!
Thanks man! Comments like this make my day 🥲😊
@@AugieG Thank you AugieG. I hope your life and success in Japan just gets better and better. I am sure it will as you have such a great attitude and personality. All of God's blessings to you and your future!
Let’s gooooooo this was so awesome!
I mean… oh… Genos-kun 😅
@@ArturoMinera LOL
Thanks!
Yes Augie!
From all these sorts of videos online I've gotten the idea that general utility bills in Japan are few and far more reasonable than they are here in London. Often in cities, studio and 1 bed flats can be just about manageable for single people with low salaries but it'll be the bills and taxes that make living alone impossible for almost everybody in England. Such a shame. Basic safe and well maintained housing should be completely affordable in all developed countries (including household utilities). Living alone shouldn't be impossible for people. Thank you for showing me your home and being so generous and informative. Hope you have a super 2024, wherever you end up.
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! :) and on your point, I have to pay around 49% in Japan... :/ but the healthcare is free because of it and it covers everything, medical, dental, eyes, etc.
@@AugieG Oh my! That's so interesting. One last comment to share: I suspect that the one video nobody on the planet will make a gonzo 'boots on the ground' video about is how many people are staying in highly toxic, unhappy relationships with husbands/wives/parents because they cannot afford to move out and start a life on their own. It's a cheek-burning taboo which nobody really wants to explore. During my commute to work, I study all the faces I pass and my heart wrenches as I ask myself, 'which one of these people cannot leave?' The statistics would likely crush my soft heart like a tin can. Anyhow, forgive the tangential meandering here. (I can't help it; the older I get the more I think about finances, the impacts upon society of individual's psychological health and urban planning). PS= Your channel is great, keep up the excellent work. 😄
for only 600 USD that is a mansion compared to the studio with a loft this other guy showed
😅😅😂😂 it depends on a lot of factors… I plan to make a video on apartments in Japan sometime I. The future!
I love it Augie!!!!! Amazon sponsor him!!!
You organized the place very neatly, looks so cozy and beautiful. Especially the bed and the dining table. Other kids should learn a thing or two from this video. ❤
Thanks! Yeah, I try to keep it very clean. I don't like a mess.
I clicked subscribed after you saif JLPT N1 certificate is in that envelope! Congratulations - that takes a LOT of work :)
Thanks so much for subscribing! And yes, it took a while lol.
Just started watching small apartments in Japan. What's the difference between your apartment for $600 & the other, smaller one I've seen for $900? You seem to have twice the space. Neighborhood? Nicely done!
Hi @vickilindberg6336 thank you for the comment and sorry for the late reply. Basically, the price of the apartment can vary based on many factors: where it's located, the age, the direction it's facing, the website it's posted on, the facilities, the layout, and much more. Mostly, it's location and age. My apartment is 26 years old, so it's a bit on the older side, which probably is why it's cheaper. Also, it's located in Kanagawa, which might be cheaper than say, downtown Shibuya or something like that. For example, my 2DK top floor facing south apartment is ¥80,000 where I live, but it could be ¥200,000 - ¥300,000 for the same apartment if it's located in Roppongi or someplace close to downtown. For example. Hope this helps!
Hello Augie, Happy holidays. I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas and New Years Eve and are doing well. I just discovered your RUclips channel. I guess you popped up on my laptop because I follow a number of people who live in Japan. There is a gay couple I follow that just moved to Tokyo. One is Anglo and he has a job and the other is Japanese without a job at the moment. Also they have 2 cats. With that mix you can imagine the difficulty they had in getting an apartment. Did you experience a lot of issues because you are a foreigner?
@wehojm7320 Hi! Thank you for the comment! You seem like an honest guy, so I'll give you an honest answer. I can imagine the struggle they must have yes. As for me, I didn't have any problems. This was probably due to the fact that I am fluent in Japanese (speaking, reading, and writing) to a very high level. This made the whole process a LOT more easy as they didn't speak any English. However, if a foreigner does NOT speak, read and write Japanese at a high level where you can understand the contract and the processes of apartments, it will be almost impossible for them to get an apartment here that is not an apartment from a gaijin website like apartments.gaijinpot.com or something. Unless they have an interpreter with them. As mentioned in the video, I used Life Homes, which is a Japanese only website and I was handled by a Japanese company (no foreigners involved, no English). I also had to pass the screening by the apartment owner BECAUSE I am a foreigner, regardless if I am a native Japanese speaking. Being a foreigner automatically forces me to go through this process. But my landlords are a very nice old couple and they accepted me as a tenant right away. Unfortunately, there are many cases where foreigners are rejected. This is mostly due to either the history of foreigners in Japan that get an apartment and just dip out right away without paying, but mostly because they cannot speak Japanese. Sorry this got long, but to answer your question, no, I did not have any issues. Hope this helps!
I love this video. You’re genuine and your personality is precious. Thank you for sharing. 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you for watching! Comments like
This mean a lot to me.
Hi AugieG ! Do you have any other recommended and proven websites for renting apartments in Japan?
Hi @TheAliceCafe ! Thanks for the question. The three I mentioned in the video are great resources. SUUMO (suumo.jp/sp/), Life Homes (the one I used to get my apartment) www.homes.co.jp/), and Chintai (sp.chintai.net), but other than these, At Home (www.athome.co.jp) is another great one. And if you want one that is very foreigner friendly and has English support, I’d suggest gaijinpot apartments (apartments.gaijinpot.com), but they tend to be way more expensive cause they can mark up because of the English services. Hope this helps! Also for some reason the links go to a page that doesn’t exist but just hit their websites logo on the top to go to the home pages. :)
I just stumbled upon your channel and enjoy watching it I was wondering why don't you get an extension rod to put in your closet in your bathroom so you can hang your clothes inside that closet and not on a towel rack .
Thanks for coming by! I actually did buy a rod and put it up but the clothes kept falling down. I think there’s not really a good place to place a rod there. Not enough support. But thanks for the comment!
is GTA 5 online popular in Japan?
I don’t think so. I never seen it being played. Most Japanese gamers still play on ps4 and switch mainly lol
Where do you keep your guns?
😂 in the AC130 I have circling Japanese airspace just in case for a drop.
This is so good for the price! I wonder how close it is to the train station and other major stations but it seems like a nice place to pull back.
@okancichan2414 Yes it is! And it’s only a 2 minute walk from the station! Even though it’s that close, I don’t hear the train at all, so it’s perfect! 😊
Nice little tour, Augie! $600 for Kanagawa seems a little pricey, but I guess it depends on how close you are to a station with direct access to Tokyo. Good job!
Thanks! Yeah it’s a great price for the features. South facing, top floor, 2 min walk from station, 50 min train ride to center Tokyo.
Pricey... damn. I dont know anywhere where you could find this apartment for 500 in the US
Yeah good luck haha
What location?
For obvious reasons, I can’t disclose my exact location, but it’s close to Tokyo, in Kanagawa prefecture. About 40 min train ride to city center. Hope this help :)
@@AugieG nice!
This is a super clean and organized apartment … I love it. ❤
Thanks! Haha I try to keep it clean
Very cozy, I really like it!
Thanks! 😆
You’re so good! Lets meet up in April! Trevor is visiting!
Great video Augie, glad you are doing so well in Japan :)
The word you were looking for is alcove.
Thanks haha 😆
