☆★☆About this Micro Apartment☆★☆ * The rent is 68,000 yen per month, including maintenance fee * Size is 9.93sqm / 106.8sqft * 5 minutes on foot from JR line “Nishi-Ogikubo station” * Made of wood * Free internet * Laundry room available at the basement * Simple and tidy loft space✨ * Small fridge and underfloor storage is available!
Honestly, I really like this one! It's compact, the free laundry room is great, the bed could go downstairs and upstairs can be a cute little relaxation spot... and the price isn't bad either, considering how new it is.
I don't know what it is with me lately, but I am very intrigued with how people are able to cram so much into a tiny living space and make the most of it, from micro campers, to van-sized RVs, and now I've stumbled my way here. Nice work on the video, Usui.
I like this one, good toilet space with toilet paper storage and no glass door. The small fridge is a nice bonus. There’s plenty of light so it doesn’t feel like living in a cell. Also, you have the option of having your bed in the loft or on the main floor. I was a bit concerned about no washing machine room in the apartment but having free laundry facilities downstairs is a great plus. And the rent is very good for what you get. I think this is a winner!
It reminds me of a dormitory suite. That is the cleanest under floor storage I've seen so far. There are some that look like the entry to a deep dark passage. Finally toilet paper storage! The first you've shown with a laundry room. The jazz music is a nice added touch to the video. 😊
I'd personally place a folding bed, a work desk/dining & chair on the main floor, and stash away all the storage boxes, clothes and other non daily items up in the loft and use it as a guest space when needed.
This is one of the nicest ones we’ve seen. I think the free communal laundry area is very smart. It is designed well and doesn’t look old or compromised in any way. While the loft is still up a very steep ladder, it is done well for what it is. I also love the privacy “wall” between the street and the lower half of the bottom window.
Yes, I would be fine if I could change the step ladder to one less steep and with a handrail. You can get ones that fold up against the wall these days.
This flat is perfect, beautiful finishes, real doors, even a toilet paper cupboard, luxury. Beautiful loft where I would definitely put the bed and television, in the living room table, chair, an armchair. Finally the communal laundry, another luxury. Also perfect in price.
I'm so happy you're still showing us micro apartments! I like this apartment. I still think your apartment is the best but this is a good one. I would sleep on the main level and use the loft for living/office.
This is one of the nicest micro-apartments you have visited so far. There is sufficient storage for clothing and food, and the loft space is safe ( the barriers could be a little higher but at least, there are barriers ). The free laundry room is so well designed and furnished ! I understand your fear of heights but it makes more sense to me to have your private space upstairs and your working and / or social space downstairs. Unless you frequently wake up during the night to run to the loo... Even with your futon mattress upstairs, it could be good to have a foldable bed downstairs so you can have a visitor over. There are one-sit sofabeds or even foldable foam mattresses that are like sofas when folded.
Hello there, back to the hunt of micro apartement. This one is the new generation micro apartement, it is well thinking and with lot of light. Nice micro place. Take care you and Mr Spiderman.
Really like this. Reasonable rent, sturdy ladder to loft space, good sized toilet/shower room and loo roll storage!! You could have the bed downstairs and your entertainment/work space in the loft area. You are close enough to transport links. This is a winner ❤️🇬🇧
This is definitely livable. A little small for me, but everything is well placed, no weird angles or awkward spots where nothing fits right. Like the under floor storage. you don’t see that often in these micro apartments, so it’s a nice touch. The laundry room looks really nice (much better than the laundry rooms of places I’ve lived in before). Quite a nice little apartment.
If you're single or your family is in other city, it's actually a very good sized and designed. I'd definitely use the main floor as work/lounge/nap area with convertible table(s), a sofabed and chairs, the mezzanine as sleep and storage area
The small section of the loft where the outlet is. Place a entertained stand there with TV and Xbox or switch or both. Put a futon bed up there and use the bed like a couch to play games. You can then put a big fridge downstairs. A table and two chairs for eating. Possibly even a computer desk, with a high end computer.
This is the most unique RUclips channel I've seen in a long time. I would've never thought Micro Apartment Tours of Japan would become my new obsession. I'm an American viewer and I'm very fascinated by the Japanese lifestyle. Your channel has a broad variety of different apartment and I love the effort you put into finding different types of micro apartments. Each apartment on your channel never looks the same and have unique distinguishing features.. Also, I deeply appreciate your music choice in the background, the calm jazz music is the perfect element for these videos and makes watching very enjoyable. Well done.
The loft looks very bright and airy. It's not small and claustrophobic like some lofts we've seen. I like the little cupboard in the bathroom. Not just for toilet paper, but also for other things you might want to store there, like cleaning supplies. Overall, it is cute and cozy. I don't know if a micro apartment would be for me. But this is one of the nicer ones
I love this micro apartment! It has everything you were looking for. It's a little more than you're paying now but I think it'd be worth it. I would put the bed in the loft and the living space downstairs.
This micro apartment seems to have been designed better than most of the others we have seen. It made sense where things were, the loft was big enough for a bed or computer/TV room or storage, but probably not all three. The laundry room meant not needing to allow space for a washer. I would not choose it without seeing a model with furniture because it looks good empty, but when I think about it, it is equivalent to putting everything in a space some US homes would use for a walk-in closet in the master bedroom (but not in my house).
That’s a nice and simple apartment. I would probably put a futon at the loft space and a tv. Then the downstairs would be where I would put a desk and chair and maybe a bean bag/lazy chair.
This place would suit me well. I like the rent, natural light, fridge, laundry and water heater. The toilet paper situation is nothing short of five star!
I like this one a lot compared to most. Free laundry is a huge plus! And while the apartment is very small, it is thoughtfully laid out and has nicer finishes. Price is good, too.
I think my favorite place will always be the last video, but after seeing it and comparing it to the prices, I see that your present apartment is such a winner. I am glad you say you are studying micro apartments, because we were all expecting you to pack up and move one of these days! After seeing all of these micro apartments, I think you are so smart to have gotten the nice place you have for that price. You are very, very smart about money.
I surprise myself when I say that I like it, I really like it. It's not even micro, it's almost a microscopic apartment. Layout: - the lower part is the living room/workroom (big words with such dimensions, but it can be solved if you don't have huge needs: a monitor TV of a suitable size would be just enough on the wall above a desk with storage, and there can be cabinets on the wall above the whole thing, and a comfortable armchair or recliner, floor chair opposite the whole) - loft: bedroom. A comfortable mattress can fit upstairs, and there would be room for at least 1, maybe even 2 chest of drawers, which is a relatively good storage option together with the open cupboard next to the kitchenette. It's a blessing that they didn't try to fit a giant refrigerator and a washing machine into such a small space. The free use of the laundry room is cool, and the tiny mini-bar fridge is just enough for one person in such a large space. Ideas: ruclips.net/video/dDSZ7-nJGCI/видео.htmlsi=U-ysJetGhTZSEBNt ruclips.net/video/BUaWQHzM-Qc/видео.htmlsi=JhmjyPeWzRNZjCeb ruclips.net/video/eoSMunFuMfw/видео.htmlsi=HMJkBfpHKHRa3vb3 ruclips.net/video/qt3LdFhif7g/видео.htmlsi=QAXgD65FO5ApiDCT ruclips.net/video/9Ogyunbq1WM/видео.htmlsi=S6R-snRl7Y1cmEFi But! The foldable boxes can also be placed on their sides, stacked on top of each other, and the open cabinet is ready. :D
Thank you for sharing 🙏 I like it. But this kind of setup is better for bodies under 60. It could be dangerous to go up and down the ladder. Really nice and has all amenities. One could literally just bring a few pieces of furniture and clothes, and be ready to just have a space for resting and spend the rest of the time out. Young people does that. As one gets older, one spends more time at home. Price is good too. Looking forward to our next video 🍀
I think that's a nice place. Was a little sad to see there's a basement laundry Instead of in the apartment but if the use of laundry machines is free that doesn't suck. Almost as good. Especially if the apartment is on the ground floor. The apartment looks new and I like the finishes. The underfloor storage is cool 😎, all around the storage is decent. The placement of the ladder to the loft is perfect. The loft seems small though and that attractive metal railing looks like a trip hazard. I wouldn't want to sleep up there and fling over the side in the the muddled morning. I think the rent is okay. Thank you for showing this place. It's better than many micro apartments.
I would use the loft for all my clothes, shoes, bags. And the main floor for a cosy bed (storage space underneath), a small desk, a comfortable armchair, small floor-to-ceiling shelving systems (for my books, dishes, cosmetics) and a big flatscreen
I like this one a lot. It's got everything you need. It would be nice if the living space was a bit bigger but it's doable. I'd put the bed in the loft and put a love seat in the corner with a fold out table you could use as a desk or dining table. Having the laundry downstairs is brilliant. It allows more space in the apartment. The rent is really reasonable.
I love this place! I'd definitely put a bed up in the loft, with the wooden finish it seems really cozy. The living area is big enough for a desk and some storage, and otherwise everything's there. The rent is very reasonable, too. This is a great find.
Hi Usui! Nice micro. The loft isn’t bad. The footage and space distribution of this one offers good alternatives to arrange the furniture. The laundry area looks well designed and clean. First floor is a two thumbs up.
A communal laundry room in a rental apartment building?! Wow! What a novel concept! Sorry for being facetious; but a lot of apartment buildings in the US have them where the apartments are much bigger. When I lived in Boston for instance, I lived in an 800 sq ft apartment and the shared laundry room was down the hall. I just don’t understand why everyone seems to want to take up precious space in these micro apartments with these tiny drum washing machines which you probably can’t even wash bedsheets in. I like a lot about this micro apt; it’s cleverly thought out. The extra food storage in the floor is great. I like that the loft has railings. I’m not super afraid of heights but would probably also want the bed downstairs and use the upstairs for TV/computer use and some storage. I think I’d also maybe place a little bigger (about waist height) refrigerator downstairs with a microwave placed on top of it.
@@vikkischaffer2301 No, I agree that’s even nicer. But even having to pay a little a load (These days, they take cards so you don’t even need to collect coins most of the time. And the cost is probably at least the same as the water bill for home laundry would be.) is better than taking up space in a less than 200 square foot apt with a nearly useless tiny drum washer.
Oh, I like this one! I own a reasonably comfortable sleeper chair, and I think that would work out great in this space. Sleeper chair and small table with a small dining chair downstairs. Use the loft for storage and a media room. Back when I was in an apartment where I used the communal laundry room, I loved it. There were always a stack of paperbacks on the table, so I would just sit down there and read while waiting for my laundry. I always thought it was charming that there was an unofficial library down there.
If I had to have a loft in my apartment, this one would be a good choice. I would put my bed in the loft, with clothes storage in the smaller corner. I would place a comfortable chair on the opposite wall to the kitchenette. Directly across, I would place a desk and a TV. The location seems nice too. Thank for sharing Usui-san.
Wow, that's one of the nicest places we've seen!! Love it!! I'm not huge on black and white, but this place is just too cute, and on ground floor, with own laundry room!!
so thoughtful that they have storage boxes and the roll screen going up slowly is so satisfying. combined entrance to toilet and shower is also a plus. and cute light upstairs. laundry in basement is really cool and means nore space in the apartment!
I really like this one☺️ I would put mattress upstairs and a comfy armchair and tv and table/desk downstairs. Pretty street outside, too…could leave the window open for view and ventilation no problem!
This one is great, compact like urs. It also has paper storage and fridge (u dont need buy the portable one and can eat ur favorite ice cream everyday) Washing machine can be placed behind the ladder. It also has storage for ur clothes. Ur table and bed can be placed beside window
i LOVE everything about this apartment. there's even a common laundry room for free! I'd definitely put the office downstairs and a mattress in the loft, since i work from home and I'd need my desk to be easily accessible. I'd go and live there rn if i could. nice video. ❤
I think that is one of the nicest micro apartment I have seen! I like the kitchenette, the bathroom (no soggy toilet paper ,good storage) loved the loft and iam just fiine with the laundry I can use for free!!! ❤😊😊
Been waiting for a new video😊 Wish I started watching your videos before we went to Japan earlier this year. We didn’t know about the water heater panels on the wall so we took cool baths the whole trip 😂😅
I’d take advantage of that lovely white wall in the lot and buy a projector! No need to worry about in a television taking up space that way. I’d probably do a futon on the ground floor.
This one has a good layout, and makes sense for comfortable living. I would sleep in the loft, and use the lower area for work/dining with a table for dining to double as a desk, and a small couch for relaxing.
I like this one. I would put my bed in the loft and also use some of the space for storage. I would put some kind of shelving unit under the air conditioner and a comfortable chair and table in the lower living space. I think it would be possible to have some type of folding table to use as needed. It’s also bright enough for some plants! 🪴 I like the free communal laundry room
I like this little apartment. I’d put a tatami in the loft and sleep on a futon up there. On the main level, I’d have comfortable seating for at least 2 people. Drapes over those ugly windows. The price is good and the location isn’t bad.
I like a lot of things about this one! I would do what you did initially, and put the bed downstairs and entertainment furniture in the loft, so that I wouldn't put off going to bed because I was too tired to climb the ladder. 😅 But the laundry room would be a deal-breaker, if it can only be accessed by stairs.
Wow that one looks super cozy for a single person. I'd put a comfy armchair in the left corner, set a nice table to eat (and to prep food), which would also fit as a work desk and next to the ladder I'd put storage, adding that all up with a beamer and screen that you could roll up if not needed. This way you'd actually use it as a living area for movie nights or reading books. It'd be a lovely small nook to chill out. The loft will propably fit an ordinary matress and where the small lamp is, there's also room for storage to put up. A very cute flat for people who'd never have guests over either way. I mean, I live on 60sqm and still have no guests around (and don't want to) though I could have. The only downside is, that you can't have pets there (maybe a small fish tank which isn't actually good for the fish).
I quite like this one. Despite living in a large house with other people, living here by myself seems luxurious. It has everything I need and that's it. I'd like to put my bed in the loft, but I'm quite tall (6'2"/186cm) and I'm not sure I'd be able to fit up there. It's so clean here!
I like this place. Loft is good for storage. Downstair: armchair bed and desk with chair. Laundry room is very convenient. Thank you to continue with this format, I like it very much💜
Interesting tiny space! I would change the ladder in order to somehow integrate it into a desk like sideboard along the wall left to the kitchen. This furniture can be a TV stand plus a desk plus a retractable eating table for two to three people. Two to three stackable chairs can be place there. Above the sideboard two shelv boards displaying some favorite items fill the center of this large wall. On the opposite wall (between bathroom wall and window) I´d put a sofa (maybe a convertible sofa bed) with two colorful pillows plus a small coffe table next to it. Above the sofa some large wall art could bring luxury to this area. A filigree reading lamp helps to create a cozy place to relax. Two long curtains from the ceiing to the floor should frame the windows. The loft would be the sleeping area with just a wide futon, a table lamp (placed on the floor like already seen in the video) and a small book shelf or just a basket for books and magazines. At the wall of the bed´s foot end, above the kitchen, there could be another (or the only) flat TV set.
This could easily be a university dorm room. When I studied in Japan, my room was about this size without the loft, instead just stretch it longer by a few meters to fit in a single bed. Instead of the kitchenette it was my study table and refrigerator. I had a toilet at the same arrangement but no shower. We had a common shower room, kitchen and a laundry room.
I would comfortably live in this space. It does not give you a claustrophobic feel given the size of it. The space provides you with the very basic things you would need to feel comfortable and live a minimilastic life. I believe 2 simple individuals can share this space. Awesome space and layout!
I envision using the loft as a bedroom, with a cozy loveseat by the ladder and a multi-functional desk directly across from the loveseat, that doubles as an entertainment center.
I smiled at the pan up the wall behind the toilet. TP storage! 🎉 With the loft ladder, it wouldn’t be for Usui, but it otherwise seems really nice. Having the laundry room in the building basement is good. Still gotta get dressed to do your laundry though! 😂 Overall it seems like a good deal for someone!
Hi Usui😊 I love your videos.😍 I am a Hungarian from Finland but my big dream is one day to travel to Japan. I really like this micro apartment and I love the loft part.🥰 It's so private. When I was a child I had my bed in the room's loft part. For example if you have some guests they won't see your private area with your bed. And at the down part...you can even have a little IKEA flap table with chair. The table one part can be working table and the other part is where you can eat and the TV could be maybe on the wall. But the best things are the fridge, the WC paper storage and that the WC door is not transparent.🎊
Honestly I could never imagine living in this small space. I could live in a tiny trailer with wide open outside but not this one. However if I had to, I would put a couch/bed downstairs, use rods in places to add to storage and I would devise a desk of some sort to go over the two railing on the loft so I could hang my feet through the longer railing and work on that desk. I would put my supplies in neat containers with drawers up there and make miniature things or artwork. I would have a lap top to use up or down. I would hang miniature artwork and items on the wall, Nevertheless this would be a challenge for me to live here.
Id use a single sofa bed and a wall mounted table as a work table/dining table. The loft area will be a storage. Im not really keen on going up and down the stairs for sleeping especially when im too tired to do anything.
I actually like this unit especially because of the sleeping loft. You can fit a double size sofa bed in the niche which shares the wall of the bathroom and the TV / bookcase. Have a small rectangular coffee table that is adjustable to desk or dining table height along with 2-4 folding chairs.
I like this apartment. It is good equiped and nicely done, also a very good layout. In the loftspace I would put some futon and arrange it for RUclips or projector's movies watching. And I would put also a small table for a laptop. Below I would put some small sofa, that converts in small bed at night and small desk, that can be also for eating. Good place.
I am loving this micro-apartment 🙂! It has a lot of potential - you can have the bed in the loft area or on the main floor. I personally see the loft being used as the sleeping area and the main floor as a spot for a TV, small armchair, and small study/work desk! The laundry facility works just perfectly and allows the whole floor space to be utilized! Great showing, thank you for sharing!!
I really like it despite the ladder. I would definitely rent this place !!! In Summer I would sleep downstairs and in Winter in the loft. I like it ... 😊
Considering how tall the ceiling is maybe some kind on bunk bed where you can use the bottom area as work space the top to sleep plus have almost next to the loft to increase your space? The bunk might need to be custom built though. You could even turn that ladder into a shelf staircase to access both the top bunk and loft at the same time and have more storage.
Hello Usui! I think this. micro apartment is one of the best you've shown t'ill now. I think it may become a very confortable space. Thank you for sharing!
It’s really small, but cozy. For one person, for student it’s not bad. Laundry room -it’s very nice!!! You don’t need a bed for super bedroom at the loft space)
That loft is nicer than a lot of the ones that you’ve shown on your channel. I wish the ladder was real stairs with storage built in like I’ve seen on some other loft spaces.
I quite like it! I could certainly live there, though I wouldn't be inviting many people over at once. I'd probably end up placing a mattress in the loft with some clothes storage, and setting up more storage and a large desk/table for a computer and general use in the main living area.
This is a very nice apartment, it’s clean and new looking. The building looks nice, as does the area. I think I’d have a sofa bed downstairs and use the loft for storage. The laundry room makes more sense to me than taking up space in the apartment with a washing machine. It needs more prep space for cooking though. On the whole, I’d give it a 9/10.
Gostei bastante desse também... O loft é perfeito para uma area de armazenamento (guardar roupas, livros e utencilios da cozinha que não usamos muito). O banheiro apesar de pequeno também é muito bom!
I really like this one. Very functional for such a compact space and the loft is nicely finished with the wood panels. I would use the loft space as a sleeping area and put a small futon and TV unit or desk in the downstairs space.
I think it is good also. A futon bed could go on either floor and provide a seating area also. I would consider putting a door into drop down table over the closet in the entrance so more space to prepare food and could eat at it so no need to put work away to eat at a desk. It has space and design to become a home as opposed to sleeping space.

Usui - so how much would an apartment like this cost if you were to buy it and not rent? Just curious. - Marc
@@marchall5173 it seems that the space is designed only for as rent or leasing,
would be nice to see the 68,000 yen per month in relation, how much have a student, a worker or average one to work for it...
May I know how much it cost for this small aparment? Thank you!
Honestly, I really like this one! It's compact, the free laundry room is great, the bed could go downstairs and upstairs can be a cute little relaxation spot... and the price isn't bad either, considering how new it is.

I think idea of communal laundry just for renters of this specific apartment is great! Reasonable apartment for students and minimalist loners...
Every apartment building I've ever lived in had one. I guess it's a luxury for Japan. ?
believe me it sucks
Added revenue for the owner, rent the space, make the renters use ur laundry equipment, hah, genius

Put a futon bed up there and use the bed like a couch to play games.
You can then put a big fridge downstairs. A table and two chairs for eating.
Possibly even a computer desk, with a high end computer.

I surprise myself when I say that I like it, I really like it. It's not even micro, it's almost a microscopic apartment.
Layout:
- the lower part is the living room/workroom (big words with such dimensions, but it can be solved if you don't have huge needs: a monitor TV of a suitable size would be just enough on the wall above a desk with storage, and there can be cabinets on the wall above the whole thing, and a comfortable armchair or recliner, floor chair opposite the whole)
- loft: bedroom. A comfortable mattress can fit upstairs, and there would be room for at least 1, maybe even 2 chest of drawers, which is a relatively good storage option together with the open cupboard next to the kitchenette.
It's a blessing that they didn't try to fit a giant refrigerator and a washing machine into such a small space. The free use of the laundry room is cool, and the tiny mini-bar fridge is just enough for one person in such a large space.

But! The foldable boxes can also be placed on their sides, stacked on top of each other, and the open cabinet is ready. :D
Small but good quality! Practical design with full functionality & reasonable price!
Thank you for sharing 🙏
I like it. But this kind of setup is better for bodies under 60. It could be dangerous to go up and down the ladder. Really nice and has all amenities. One could literally just bring a few pieces of furniture and clothes, and be ready to just have a space for resting and spend the rest of the time out. Young people does that. As one gets older, one spends more time at home. Price is good too.
Looking forward to our next video 🍀
I think that's a nice place. Was a little sad to see there's a basement laundry Instead of in the apartment but if the use of laundry machines is free that doesn't suck. Almost as good. Especially if the apartment is on the ground floor. The apartment looks new and I like the finishes. The underfloor storage is cool 😎, all around the storage is decent. The placement of the ladder to the loft is perfect. The loft seems small though and that attractive metal railing looks like a trip hazard. I wouldn't want to sleep up there and fling over the side in the the muddled morning. I think the rent is okay.
Thank you for showing this place. It's better than many micro apartments.
I'd definitely use the loft space for extra storage because the rest of the apartment is big enough for my needs. I really like this one. 😊
I would use the loft for all my clothes, shoes, bags. And the main floor for a cosy bed (storage space underneath), a small desk, a comfortable armchair, small floor-to-ceiling shelving systems (for my books, dishes, cosmetics) and a big flatscreen
I like this one a lot. It's got everything you need. It would be nice if the living space was a bit bigger but it's doable. I'd put the bed in the loft and put a love seat in the corner with a fold out table you could use as a desk or dining table. Having the laundry downstairs is brilliant. It allows more space in the apartment. The rent is really reasonable.
I love this place! I'd definitely put a bed up in the loft, with the wooden finish it seems really cozy. The living area is big enough for a desk and some storage, and otherwise everything's there. The rent is very reasonable, too. This is a great find.
Hi Usui! Nice micro. The loft isn’t bad. The footage and space distribution of this one offers good alternatives to arrange the furniture. The laundry area looks well designed and clean. First floor is a two thumbs up.
A communal laundry room in a rental apartment building?! Wow! What a novel concept! Sorry for being facetious; but a lot of apartment buildings in the US have them where the apartments are much bigger. When I lived in Boston for instance, I lived in an 800 sq ft apartment and the shared laundry room was down the hall. I just don’t understand why everyone seems to want to take up precious space in these micro apartments with these tiny drum washing machines which you probably can’t even wash bedsheets in. I like a lot about this micro apt; it’s cleverly thought out. The extra food storage in the floor is great. I like that the loft has railings. I’m not super afraid of heights but would probably also want the bed downstairs and use the upstairs for TV/computer use and some storage. I think I’d also maybe place a little bigger (about waist height) refrigerator downstairs with a microwave placed on top of it.
Never had a free one...
@@vikkischaffer2301 No, I agree that’s even nicer. But even having to pay a little a load (These days, they take cards so you don’t even need to collect coins most of the time. And the cost is probably at least the same as the water bill for home laundry would be.) is better than taking up space in a less than 200 square foot apt with a nearly useless tiny drum washer.
A good, easy to use space. No weird shapes, good layout, interesting rent. I like it!
Oh, I like this one! I own a reasonably comfortable sleeper chair, and I think that would work out great in this space. Sleeper chair and small table with a small dining chair downstairs. Use the loft for storage and a media room. Back when I was in an apartment where I used the communal laundry room, I loved it. There were always a stack of paperbacks on the table, so I would just sit down there and read while waiting for my laundry. I always thought it was charming that there was an unofficial library down there.
The unofficial library is a nice place!🥳📕
If I had to have a loft in my apartment, this one would be a good choice. I would put my bed in the loft, with clothes storage in the smaller corner. I would place a comfortable chair on the opposite wall to the kitchenette. Directly across, I would place a desk and a TV. The location seems nice too. Thank for sharing Usui-san.
Wow, that's one of the nicest places we've seen!! Love it!! I'm not huge on black and white, but this place is just too cute, and on ground floor, with own laundry room!!
I'd put a small bed and a big tv in the loft. Can watch movies in seclusion and then go to sleep. A desk and a breakfast table in the lower part.
A breakfast table is a great idea!🥰🍳
This tiny micro apartment is perfect,tidy everything is on place , enough storage for one person!💯✌️
so thoughtful that they have storage boxes and the roll screen going up slowly is so satisfying. combined entrance to toilet and shower is also a plus. and cute light upstairs. laundry in basement is really cool and means nore space in the apartment!
I really like this one☺️ I would put mattress upstairs and a comfy armchair and tv and table/desk downstairs. Pretty street outside, too…could leave the window open for view and ventilation no problem!
This one is quite nice. You could fit a desk, small wardrobe and a comfy armchair on the main floor and a futon in the loft.
This one is great, compact like urs. It also has paper storage and fridge (u dont need buy the portable one and can eat ur favorite ice cream everyday) Washing machine can be placed behind the ladder. It also has storage for ur clothes. Ur table and bed can be placed beside window
Thanks for your comment!
I love ice cream too.🍨😋
i LOVE everything about this apartment. there's even a common laundry room for free! I'd definitely put the office downstairs and a mattress in the loft, since i work from home and I'd need my desk to be easily accessible. I'd go and live there rn if i could. nice video. ❤
Wow, I really love this apartment. Especially the free laundry area and toilet paper storage!! ❤
I think that is one of the nicest micro apartment I have seen! I like the kitchenette, the bathroom (no soggy toilet paper ,good storage) loved the loft and iam just fiine with the laundry I can use for free!!! ❤😊😊
Been waiting for a new video😊
Wish I started watching your videos before we went to Japan earlier this year. We didn’t know about the water heater panels on the wall so we took cool baths the whole trip 😂😅
😅🚿
I really like this little apartment. That laundry room is the nicest I've ever seen. ☺
Nice little livingspace! I'd sleep in the loft. Makes the most sense to me personally.
I’d take advantage of that lovely white wall in the lot and buy a projector! No need to worry about in a television taking up space that way. I’d probably do a futon on the ground floor.
This one has a good layout, and makes sense for comfortable living. I would sleep in the loft, and use the lower area for work/dining with a table for dining to double as a desk, and a small couch for relaxing.
I think this is the nicest one I’ve seen! Very liveable! The laundry room is beautiful!
I like this one. I would put my bed in the loft and also use some of the space for storage. I would put some kind of shelving unit under the air conditioner and a comfortable chair and table in the lower living space. I think it would be possible to have some type of folding table to use as needed. It’s also bright enough for some plants! 🪴 I like the free communal laundry room
I like this little apartment. I’d put a tatami in the loft and sleep on a futon up there. On the main level, I’d have comfortable seating for at least 2 people. Drapes over those ugly windows. The price is good and the location isn’t bad.
I like a lot of things about this one! I would do what you did initially, and put the bed downstairs and entertainment furniture in the loft, so that I wouldn't put off going to bed because I was too tired to climb the ladder. 😅 But the laundry room would be a deal-breaker, if it can only be accessed by stairs.
Wow that one looks super cozy for a single person. I'd put a comfy armchair in the left corner, set a nice table to eat (and to prep food), which would also fit as a work desk and next to the ladder I'd put storage, adding that all up with a beamer and screen that you could roll up if not needed. This way you'd actually use it as a living area for movie nights or reading books. It'd be a lovely small nook to chill out. The loft will propably fit an ordinary matress and where the small lamp is, there's also room for storage to put up. A very cute flat for people who'd never have guests over either way. I mean, I live on 60sqm and still have no guests around (and don't want to) though I could have.
The only downside is, that you can't have pets there (maybe a small fish tank which isn't actually good for the fish).
I quite like this one. Despite living in a large house with other people, living here by myself seems luxurious. It has everything I need and that's it. I'd like to put my bed in the loft, but I'm quite tall (6'2"/186cm) and I'm not sure I'd be able to fit up there. It's so clean here!
Dieses Micro-Appartement gefällt mir eigentlich ganz gut. 👍Hat alles was man braucht und ist vom Preis auch noch okay.😊 Danke fürs zeigen🙏
I think we need this in the west. Also smaller cars and safer roads for motorbikes and mainly scooters. You,have to drive so far to get anywhere
I like this place. Loft is good for storage. Downstair: armchair bed and desk with chair. Laundry room is very convenient. Thank you to continue with this format, I like it very much💜
Thanks for your comment!🥰
I will continue to explore micro apartments in Tokyo.
Interesting tiny space! I would change the ladder in order to somehow integrate it into a desk like sideboard along the wall left to the kitchen. This furniture can be a TV stand plus a desk plus a retractable eating table for two to three people. Two to three stackable chairs can be place there. Above the sideboard two shelv boards displaying some favorite items fill the center of this large wall. On the opposite wall (between bathroom wall and window) I´d put a sofa (maybe a convertible sofa bed) with two colorful pillows plus a small coffe table next to it. Above the sofa some large wall art could bring luxury to this area. A filigree reading lamp helps to create a cozy place to relax. Two long curtains from the ceiing to the floor should frame the windows. The loft would be the sleeping area with just a wide futon, a table lamp (placed on the floor like already seen in the video) and a small book shelf or just a basket for books and magazines. At the wall of the bed´s foot end, above the kitchen, there could be another (or the only) flat TV set.
This could easily be a university dorm room. When I studied in Japan, my room was about this size without the loft, instead just stretch it longer by a few meters to fit in a single bed. Instead of the kitchenette it was my study table and refrigerator. I had a toilet at the same arrangement but no shower. We had a common shower room, kitchen and a laundry room.
My favourite apartment so far.
This apartment looks very nice. The floorplan is good and the bathroom is sufficient.
I would put the bed in the loft and a desk in the living space.
Thanks for your comment!
I also want to put a desk in the living space.🥰
I would comfortably live in this space. It does not give you a claustrophobic feel given the size of it. The space provides you with the very basic things you would need to feel comfortable and live a minimilastic life. I believe 2 simple individuals can share this space. Awesome space and layout!
I envision using the loft as a bedroom, with a cozy loveseat by the ladder and a multi-functional desk directly across from the loveseat, that doubles as an entertainment center.
I smiled at the pan up the wall behind the toilet. TP storage! 🎉 With the loft ladder, it wouldn’t be for Usui, but it otherwise seems really nice. Having the laundry room in the building basement is good. Still gotta get dressed to do your laundry though! 😂 Overall it seems like a good deal for someone!
Bad thing about loft, when you don't feel well, you may not want to climb ladder😢
Hi Usui😊
I love your videos.😍
I am a Hungarian from Finland but my big dream is one day to travel to Japan.
I really like this micro apartment and I love the loft part.🥰
It's so private.
When I was a child I had my bed in the room's loft part.
For example if you have some guests they won't see your private area with your bed.
And at the down part...you can even have a little IKEA flap table with chair.
The table one part can be working table and the other part is where you can eat and the TV could be maybe on the wall.
But the best things are the fridge, the WC paper storage and that the WC door is not transparent.🎊
Thanks for your comment!
I hope you will visit Japan!🥰🇯🇵
Honestly I could never imagine living in this small space. I could live in a tiny trailer with wide open outside but not this one. However if I had to, I would put a couch/bed downstairs, use rods in places to add to storage and I would devise a desk of some sort to go over the two railing on the loft so I could hang my feet through the longer railing and work on that desk. I would put my supplies in neat containers with drawers up there and make miniature things or artwork. I would have a lap top to use up or down. I would hang miniature artwork and items on the wall, Nevertheless this would be a challenge for me to live here.
Id use a single sofa bed and a wall mounted table as a work table/dining table. The loft area will be a storage. Im not really keen on going up and down the stairs for sleeping especially when im too tired to do anything.
I love the micro-apartment videos. I think your company would do very well if you specialized in those. :)
Thanks for your comment!
I want to become a researcher of Japanese micro-apartments.😎🏠
I actually like this unit especially because of the sleeping loft. You can fit a double size sofa bed in the niche which shares the wall of the bathroom and the TV / bookcase. Have a small rectangular coffee table that is adjustable to desk or dining table height along with 2-4 folding chairs.
By far my favourite tiny apartment of your channel. Maybe some shelves may be installed over the kitchen
FINALLY, MORE MICRO APARTMENTS!!!! I KEPT ON WAITING SPIDEY-SAN ~
We're back!😎🕸️🕸️🕸️
Me gusta el micro apartamento, se lo ve de nueva construcción.
You're right, this apartment is still only two years old.🏠✨
I like this little apartment.
I like this apartment. It is good equiped and nicely done, also a very good layout. In the loftspace I would put some futon and arrange it for RUclips or projector's movies watching. And I would put also a small table for a laptop. Below I would put some small sofa, that converts in small bed at night and small desk, that can be also for eating. Good place.
I am loving this micro-apartment 🙂! It has a lot of potential - you can have the bed in the loft area or on the main floor. I personally see the loft being used as the sleeping area and the main floor as a spot for a TV, small armchair, and small study/work desk! The laundry facility works just perfectly and allows the whole floor space to be utilized! Great showing, thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for your comment!
I really like it despite the ladder. I would definitely rent this place !!! In Summer I would sleep downstairs and in Winter in the loft. I like it ... 😊
Considering how tall the ceiling is maybe some kind on bunk bed where you can use the bottom area as work space the top to sleep plus have almost next to the loft to increase your space? The bunk might need to be custom built though. You could even turn that ladder into a shelf staircase to access both the top bunk and loft at the same time and have more storage.
Muy lindo apartamento y el cuarto de lavado me parece una excelente idea, además que los colores del apartamento transmite mucha paz 🏡🥰✨
economical, compact, functional, practical. for one person it is super ok.
I love small spaces.
Hello Usui! I think this. micro apartment is one of the best you've shown t'ill now. I think it may become a very confortable space. Thank you for sharing!
Very nice space. I would also keep the desk below and a Futon in Loft. So possible guests are not in your private sleeping space.
It’s really small, but cozy. For one person, for student it’s not bad. Laundry room -it’s very nice!!! You don’t need a bed for super bedroom at the loft space)
That loft is nicer than a lot of the ones that you’ve shown on your channel. I wish the ladder was real stairs with storage built in like I’ve seen on some other loft spaces.
Thanks for your comment!
I also like the ladder in this room.🥰🪜
I have anxiety . So I need videos like this , slow and soothing
I quite like it! I could certainly live there, though I wouldn't be inviting many people over at once. I'd probably end up placing a mattress in the loft with some clothes storage, and setting up more storage and a large desk/table for a computer and general use in the main living area.
This is a very nice apartment, it’s clean and new looking. The building looks nice, as does the area. I think I’d have a sofa bed downstairs and use the loft for storage. The laundry room makes more sense to me than taking up space in the apartment with a washing machine. It needs more prep space for cooking though. On the whole, I’d give it a 9/10.
Gostei bastante desse também... O loft é perfeito para uma area de armazenamento (guardar roupas, livros e utencilios da cozinha que não usamos muito). O banheiro apesar de pequeno também é muito bom!
I really like this one. Very functional for such a compact space and the loft is nicely finished with the wood panels. I would use the loft space as a sleeping area and put a small futon and TV unit or desk in the downstairs space.
I think it is good also. A futon bed could go on either floor and provide a seating area also. I would consider putting a door into drop down table over the closet in the entrance so more space to prepare food and could eat at it so no need to put work away to eat at a desk. It has space and design to become a home as opposed to sleeping space.
It's honestly really cute. I'd put a tatami mat upstairs and a futon which I could hang over the railing to air out during the day.
The ladder looks sturdy. I would have a thick padded bed in the loft. And the living space could have a cozy chair with tv and rolling table.
Thanks for your comment!
I like the rolling table!🥰
