If you've read this far, you are an awesome person!
That's a pretty big apartment for Japan. It looks like a nice one.
There are many size of apartments in Japan. I guess you saw Japanese apartments were for single or couple. There are many apartments for family, these are bigger and have many rooms.
I guess it's because he's not close to Tokyo maybe
Well TOkyo apartments are super small
The lack of natural light is depressing!!
turowat The first apartment in Japan that I see with lack of sunshine. Does make it pretty depressing...
I was surprised that the apartment was so spacious. I could live there comfortably!!
This apartment is huge for japanese apartments. And very nice and spacies too.
Watching this video makes you feel like a giant. As an example, the toilet feels like the ones you see in Kindergarten for kids haha
Hey man, I have been watching you for about 3 years now and am realizing how you really have to love your alone time when and if you decide to teach abroad. Great content, keep it coming man.
+AVI B thanks so much
+Red Dragon Diaries you look like a giant when your filming
+Red Dragon Diaries scratch that your a giant when you compare the building size
jim bab lol!
Are all the power cables that close to the buildings?
That fisheye distortion makes it hard to judge distance well. An interesting video, though. It's much different in the Philippines.
American Expat In The Philippines yes very annoying
Gave me motion sickness.
I kept forgetting about the fish eye-I thought the last closets had curved doors. lol
Damn, I could totaly live there.
you could not, you're bed would never dit. and where would you put pickles or your hot tub?
you must have way to many cat's I got four and could definitly relax chillin in that place kitties better stay of the counters and tables though...wanna move with me Steph?
Nathan Explosion me too
There are so many doors !
ikr, He was showing that and I was like omg this is so confuse
Henrique Pinto it's a maze hehe
Hehe, I'm sorry but I like to call it paper Doors hehehe
Salimah J LIFE HAS MANY DOORS, ED-BOY !
This is your neighbor, stop slamming the door !
dinnerandashow xD
I needed this. I'm building Japanese apartments in the Sims 2.
+Lonelyeco make a red dragon apt building for me
Someone still has Sims 2? That was the best one. I wish I still had it.
Ahh Hiroshima!! I was there in April this year (2016). Made it a must to visit the Atomic Bomb Dome and Memorial Museum. It was incredible to see how the Japanese reconstructed their city and rose from the ashes and destruction.
Japan is the land of a million sliding doors.
Beautiful, or not?
actually between doors....
ghosts are hidden...... sadakodayo.............. o_O
i actually love sliding doors XD sadly britain rarely has these type off doors except for the gardens.
The land where lead business executives sleep on the floor
The room with the balcony seems ideal for a bed room. Sliding window doors, light, and a breath of fresh air in the morning.
Barley any windows, that would kill me especially in the kitchen
Not only that, but there's hardly any barely! That would kill me especially in the kitchen.
just keep the living roomdoor open iguess
Wow, all of you must be rich, lol. I have never lived in an apartment with windows in crazy. This obsession with wanting Windows everywhere is insane. Windows in the kitchen. Window in the bathrooms. Windows on the ceiling. What's next? Windows in the damn CLOSET? All of you are spoiled, lol.
@@Kevin-sm8pn shut up lol no one asked
@@Kevin-sm8pn My aunt is an architect, and she says windows in bedrooms, but specially in kitchens and bathrooms are essential for air and moist circulation, and also gas leaks (in the kitchen). It's not only about lighting and much less for the view.
the walls need some color, currently feels little depressing with plain color.
Clauss Osorio and posters or other decorations
This apartment has the biggest bathroom I've seen so far. Also, kudos for using a fisheye lens.
A lot of space, especially in comparison to Korean flates I've seen videos on. But what surprised me is that it's quite dark:(
I kept the doors closed for the video but normally there's a good deal of light in the apt. This is close to 3 times the size of the studios you will get in Korea. I'm very lucky
I wouldnt call yourself lucky man that apartment is the most Unsterile , homely, windowless looking place i have ever seen. there is no way i could live in that it's nasty.
***** hater lol!
Red Dragon Diaries Good One!!! LOL
I like it but what is a tatami room for in general? Meditation maybe.
thanks for the update. pretty good sized apartment. I really like the tatami room. at the beginning in your entryway it reminded me of that episode of King of the Hill when they visit Japan and they complain about the size of the hotel room and then right before they leave a Japanese person shows them the sliding door and the rest of their huge hotel room.
+Matthew Milan lol!
I really like the idea of a shoe closet, instead of the lineup of shoes by my apartment door. It's very nice & spacious, larger than a couple of the apartments I've lived in when I lived in Chicago.
You have one of the nicer apartments I've seen on RUclips! How much do you pay for it if you don't mind my asking?
I'll join this question :)
Mister Boot if that's true, that's awesome. half of most peoples money goes to rent.
Why would Korean help him in this case?
Mister Boot You realize he's in Japan here, right? They don't speak Korean in Japan... it's a different country.
Mister Boot I didn't say he was Korean, I wondered why you thought speaking Korean would help get an apartment in Japan. No need to call names, either... I apologize if I came across as rude or ignorant. It was not my intention.
I was under the impression that apartments in Japan were small but hat's a pretty big apartment. I like that there's so many doors that closes off each room.
living spaces are generally smaller in Japan. Re:apts for English teachers, this place is huge
I am kinda getting prison vibes from this apartment, but hey maybe I've just been watching too much OITNB
When he showed the kitchen the first thing I thought was "where are the windows?"
You want prison? look at a Leo apartments room. Those bastards are SMALL.
that place looks like the bomb
ba dum, tsss
you monster's lol
Savage
lmao you piece of shit
isis dream house
why do u sleep in the storage room when u got a "huge" spare room?
I think your setup is wrong, you should use tatami room as your bed room.. Lol
Maybe he doesnt like tatami smell? Not everyone likes it i heard
if i was him, i will use that "livin room" as my bed room and make the kitchen as a guest room.
David I thought the same thing lol
That's what I thought too! I would totally make that my room!
I was thinking leave all the doors open so you dont feel traped or inclosed u have 3 other rooms to sleep in my man not the closet
The room you have your bedroom in is meant to be a closet, or a child's room maybe. The tatami room is supposed to be the main bedroom.
Damn, you're gorgeous.
Pretty inspiring to see how you moved from one country to another.
I am a european student who is currently in Korea for a year and I hope to follow your example one day.
wow it's interesting. I don't like the disposition as much, but it's indeed very Japanese. I would (as someone said) move the bedroom to the tatami room and I would make the small room where you sleep now a storage room (for clothes, maybe hanging clothes and all). But that's just because I can't imagine sleeping in such a small and dark room. Also some plants and wall decorations would help very much :)
yow that apartment is perfectly for me . especially when you're a gamer that doesn't go outside and like a dark place . i love it
Like.. 3 windows for the whole apartment? I couldn't live there
Thank you for taking the time to show US around.
thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow! Your apartment is huge! I was really surprised!
I enjoyed ur apt tour. I lived in Fussa for 7 1\2 yrs. I left in 1997 but still miss Japan greatly. That apt is bigger & more equipped than any I've been in. Nice place. Enjoy yourself!!
We don't realize just how large we live until we watch accommodations to this scale.
that's a very good point
And this is a good size compared to some I've seen. When I saw he has TWO burners on the stove, I almost applauded him. Makes me feel guilty for not utilising all four on ours.
A built-in fish fryer? Awesome!
The apartment does look a bit spartan but it's also nice that there isn't so much clutter...keeps things feeling open and fresh!
That's a good looking man
thanks!
This is very spacious, love it! You should think of getting some wall decals of trees or birds or quotes or something to put on your kitchen walls, to make it look more homey. But I really like the space
my gosh your flat is huge ! How much are you paying for this?
これは何?いちご 1LDK so probably a lot! He just have a good job or a roommate...lol
Dude, I had a 3 bedroom apartment in Hiroshima just like that one but obviously slightly larger. Your "living room" and Tatami room are both meant to be used as bedrooms and your kitchen space is designed to be both dining, kitchen and living space together. You are essentially using the storage/coat room as your bedroom.
Sooo many doors! lol Honestly though much larger than all the other Japanese style apartments I've seen! That seems to be suitable for even a small family! Not sure if I missed the details but how much does this style apartment cost monthly?
It really depends on the city and area in that city. This place is cheap because it's in Hiroshima in a slightly removed neighborhood. Also, the school owns the unit so it's a reduced rate from normal market value
Private, functional, efficient (minimal) ... but because of the damn flourescent lights, soul-crushingly clinical... I have seen the simple elegance of Japanese architectural styles in the books....but modern reality is so different.... in any case, you must have immense wealth to live in an apartment of that size. Thank you for showing us what's possible on a teacher's salary in Hroshima.
It's a nice appartment, but to me it doesn't look like someone actually lives there...
not everyone lives like a animal
have you ever started moving into a place? thats kinda what it looks like
I just love Japan ,ur language,ur cleanliness vry kind people ,hard working thank u sir fr sharing this video
Needs a woman's touch. :-) Or a cat or an orchid or something.
you let a woman in, and that's the end of his peacefulness.
Claudia Marin lol
There is nothing in the world sweater then a women’s love
savage
Depends on the woman.
Nice digs ! Much, much bigger than the camper/trailer I've been living in for the past 10 years or so. But I'm in Florida, people live in smaller units than I have !
Be interesting to see how you furnish your home !
Thanks for sharing !
Actually it's a really big room for 1 person to live in Japan.........
This is actually one of the nicer apartments I've seen (and I'm pretty sure I've watch every Japanese apartment tour video on RUclips :P ). I would love to find a place like that when I move to Japan. Thanks for sharing!
+Meggie Kay A lot depends on the city and location. Hiroshima is much cheaper than Tokyo.
yall gon need a phd to do the garbage in Japan
meanwhile in Canada: 4 bins - trash, compost/ yardwaste, cardboard, and glass/plastic. Unless you're my crazy a** Granny who just make a big fire pit in the backyard by the garden. Only gets away with it because she lives in a log home on a mountain and her closest neighbor is like 30 - 40 mins down the road XD
Cool space. Personally I'd put some warmer light sources in the kitchen instead of plain white lights and maybe leave the doors to the living room and the tatami(?) room open so that some of the natural light from outside can flood in. I'd remove or move the coach in the living room as it seems too big for the room. If you didn't have a need for a vlogging area, I would've used that room as the bed room, just because there is some natural light there, and used the other room as storage or guest room or something. The kitchen seems empty, maybe divide the room with a plant or something.
when you showed me the bedroom, all i could think about is ... how the hell does a tall guy like you sleep in a small place like that.
It's more than big enough for me. The camera lens made it look that way. I now sleep in the tatami room anyway
When I studied in Nagoya I had a tatami room as my bedroom and slept on a futon. loved that room and I prefer futon over a bed
"It's an older building" can't be older than 1945
😂
I'm dying X,D
No, you'll go to hell for using the Lord's name in vain though!
Yeah, older!
Red Dragon Diaries It was a WWII nuke joke.
Even though it's an older apartment it is very spacious and great storage space. Thanks for the tour Tom 😀😀👍🏻
+andreamoboe I'm happy with it
Yes he has a Bible!!!
Japanese futons are so comfortable, we have several we brought back from japan.
really enjoyed this, thanks for posting 😀😎💪
Very nice. I'm so envious of you being able to totally immerse yourself in a new culture. Good luck. I love your videos.
+Anthony Ubelhor (Trailwalker) Thanks so much
If you don't mind me asking, how much do you pay monthly? This apartment is very spacious and kind of big for being in Japan. I'm guessing $800 or so? Well depending on your key money, right?
Isn't key money a Korean thing not Japanese?
Definitely a Japanese thing. Maybe it's done in Korea also?
I loved this video. It was really interesting for me to see an apartment in Japan, it's so different from apartments in my country. it looks cozy and peaceful.
+Myself Jovovovich Thank you. I'm really happy with it. It's my home for a while now
I like your house. It´s really nice.
+gualdacolorao Thank you!
Oh cool! You're using the Xiaomi Yi Action cam! I was thinking of buying that, maybe soon. Nice to see some footage of it!
Amazing apartment!
I love this place!! It's perfect for me! Getting a place with separate rooms gives you privacy (in my perspective).
your apartment is big. if I were you. I will move my bed room to the tatami room and use the big close to store my matress or get a western bed for the current room.
I've since moved my futon into the tatami room. I just use earplugs now for the noise from the street
@@Reddragondiaries get some foam and cut it to the size of the window will cancel the noise and light good for the summer to keep room cool for AC
Your apartment in Japan is loads bigger than some NYC apartments! Much larger than I expected. It's interesting how they compartmentalize everything such as separating the toilet/shower and washroom. Also, doors everywhere!
+Pam Selga This apartment is really big. Hiroshima is surprisingly affordable in most areas of life. Not like Tokyo or NYC. Message me and I'll give you the 411.
Everything looks so small ...because you're tall?
quite big to me..I think it's expensive?
the bedroom look kinda scary...
the doorways are low for me so I always bump my head
I sleep in the tatami room now
+Red Dragon Diaries isn't a tatami room for sleeping? what was the other room for ? the one next to the main door .
I've noticed that about the toilets over there as well. Having an unusual design where the fresh water pipe comes out over the cistern tank and then pours water in via an open hole into the cistern tank. I'm guessing that plumbing regulations in Japan are stricter and this arrangement is considered more hygienic and reduces risk of contamination of the fresh water supply keeping a greater barrier from the foul water.
Yes, many toilets are like this here
bike storage door, i actually thought it was a castle tower door lol
His apartment looks like a place you find in a anime or a Japanese movie and It's looks beautiful 😋❤️
So in the US the culture is open floor plans, I am guessing they just REALLY enjoy doors as part of theirs?
In japan, water closets are for showers and ofuro, and toilets are in their own room, so that part is normal. For the rest, i guess the designers of the apartment just like doors!
Megan Flanagan my understanding is that usually there isn't central heating in most Japanese homes so heating a smaller room is easier than attempting to heat a large space. This was the case in old western homes as well but as AC and stuff became a big deal the trends changed. Don't quote me on it though.
TinyBreakfastTable yes, those doors are very necessary for when it gets cold.
I've never been to Japan, and it's so interesting to see your place. Thanks! It's very clean and efficient!
I love your tatami room! 😍
Fucking Weeb
For one person, this seems like a pretty spacious apartment. The kitchen was huge! The tatami room was so unexpected, but so cool, since we don't usually have them here in America. Would you ever have one here? You also keep it so clean. It's amazing! The fish fry thing is awesome! What else can you cook in it?
how tall are you?
狂猫 i was hoping he'd had answered this. I'm six three and I feel like it would be a nightmare for me in these hallways. Lol.
i also wanted to know this answer
6'3
Japanese apartments would be perfect for me since I'm 5'3. I love the tour, thanks for sharing.
Yes, much better for you than me lol
dang! they did not build for tall people did they? lol...you must have a lot of bruises.
+susripathy definitely not lol! The top of my head is all banged up at the moment
I had a house with a small yard and garage in Yokosuka. Loved it!
I love the apartment, my favorite feature is the Bible :) I like the open space, the bike lot is nice, and the huge kitchen is amazing, particularly because I love to cook. Overall you have a really nice setup.
Nice place. I think I'm surprised at the amount of rooms and closet space you have. In some apartments here in America, we're lucky to get any real closet space to put things away. Thanks for the apartment tour. Stay blessed. ✌
Also, curious to how tall you are? I want to travel with my boyfriend in the future and am wondering if he (6 foot) would fit comfortably through doorways and such :)
I'm curious too what height is he
I don't know how tall this guy is but I'm 6'4" I can tell you most modern places like around Tokyo he will be fine, but if you visit people's homes or go into the older areas then watch your head. I love being in Japan though. I love the culture, the age of the towns, and the architecture. My father in law lives in a rural area and I got to drive through the rice farms areas to get to the city. Of course, I had to visit Tokyo and Akihabara and most of the public places are tall people friendly.
Many of the lower door ways are there for a reason. They are to force you to bow your head as you enter a room, which is why many homes have low clearance door ways.
I highly recommend visiting Japan, it helps to go with someone that speaks the language (my wife is Japanese) but if you stick to the major areas of Tokyo they have multilingual signage pretty much everywhere. But speaking with clerks and such does require knowing some conversational Japanese. And the light rail system there is incredible, mind blowing.
your apt is actually larger than I imagined it would be..but in Japan everything is scaled to what you actually need..thanks for the tour!
you get a bigger bang for the buck in Hiroshima
very different from scandinavian homes..
Same with Irish. I wish it have more windows :(
Thank you for this peek into a Japanese apartment. It seems very nice. Very different than the apts here in Wisconsin. It has GREAT potential!
it looks like hospital
I love Japanese Architecture.. It's so beautiful.
Cost?
The new place has a lot of charm. I love it! I am very excited for you.
How tall are you?
Just found your channel! :) That's a nice sized apartment you have there :D I lived in Japan for three years and for part of the time had a tatami room too. Love them.
+True Mexico Awesome! Yes, I really like the vibe the tatami room gives the apartment.
I'm curious as to how much you are paying for that apartment in Hiroshima? I'm in Okoyama right now and perhaps will have to move to Hiroshima and was wondering about the rent there. Thx
My situation is very unique. My school owns the school so I pay a reduced rate. I don't know the market value for a place like this
Red Dragon Diaries Oh ok. I've been trying to get some infos before moving there and till now can't much about it :(
Your apartment is spacious! I'm so inspired to live more minimally. Nice to see you settling in 😀
How many people committed suicide in the apt?
just you
Red Dragon Diaries
and future u.
taipeitaiwan10 oooh potent comeback
I've heard many people say that the heating and air conditioning units aren't powerful enough to heat or cool more than one or two rooms at a time so you may want to make the Tatami room your temporary bedroom for a while too. Just a little advice! Nice place that you have! I like it!
Looks quite large but very compartmentalized. Thanks.
Omg your place is huuge ! (I probably couldn't live alone in an apartment like this one x))
I was thinking the same thing! It's practically a house! Not even a small house! It's pretty epic.
Hero✩Lydragius I'd probably freak out x)
20009Erika I live in France, the average size of a house/apartment is (way) smaller than in America (if it's where you live), and it's also a matter of tastes and habits too, because I can't stand an empty home and I don't need much more space than my bedroom's, so yeah ^^
eleonora giannetti I think it's because both are european countries ? France and Italy have more or less the same average height, while in Japan people tend to be smaller, or in America taller (like, I'm average height in Europe, but I'd be considered short/mid-short in America and tall/hella tall in Japan)
Each country designs it's apartment based on it's average height, so it's not surprinsing to find people that live in countries where people are taller than in the other country, thinking that the house/apartment is too small, and the same goes in the other way
That's also a matter of lifestyle and tastes, there are people that like to move around, need/want space and light, and other people (like me) who enjoy small and/or dark rooms and don't need/want much space (I'm kind of afraid of big rooms, I somewhat find small, dark and fresh rooms reassuring)
Erena Jäger How tall are you? I'm 5'8!
looks kind of fun. I like how it compartmentalizes the room, although I might get kind of tired of it after a while.
Great english
He's there to teach English.
Louise Belcher
I want to speak English as good as him
It's funny that this video popped up in my recommended feed. I've been looking for an apartment in Japan today, since I found a job in Tokyo two weeks ago. The prices are less expensive than I expected. It would be nice to have an extra room for friends from my country that want to stay over. Yours seems nice and spacy for this purpose, so I hope I can find something similar.
