That's crazy, i pay $1,700 a month for a studio in NYC and it's a tiny dump. Also $1,700 is considered a good deal as most studios go for around $2,000-$3,500, depending on how new. That apartment would go for like 3.500-4,500+ here. So done with this place.
Like the apartment... Could you show some newer 1LDK's--2LDK's in good locations in the city? Also like how you added a bit more info around the location of this apartment, like distance to station, food..ect.
Only issue I have is so little storage for food. I’m assuming those were drawer fridges. Gorgeous place beautiful location great price for a penthouse is amazing.
I don't think they were. The drawer under the sink had a kitchen knife holder attached and all other drawers look the same + drawer fridges are not often seen in japan I believe... I think you gotta put your own fridge in.
Why is it so bad? I thought it was fine when I went. I find Kyoto subway much more inconvenient. Between airport line, hakozaki and nanakuma line and i can pretty much anywhere. and really subway is usually limited to the city almost everywhere, why should it go further out of city?
@@MaddieAU Me too. But I’d be scared to sell my house though. Because what if when I come back I’m not able to afford the sky high rising prices anymore. I want to just rent it out for a few years while I live in Japan for a bit.
This one is nice even with the small American closets and no dishwasher. But I resent the extra fees scams. I always thought what set the Japanese apart from Americans was they were honest and somewhat upstanding. The more I learn about them seems they're no different. Greed is real everywhere it seems.
@@kvom01 wow! Expensive…I found a way to stay in Yokohama for 3 months as tourist w/o need to rent apartment. You can book cheap hotel for 3 separate transactions of 28 days each. I found a hotel in Yokohama that I can book for $783 during the first 28 days. The 2nd booking at that hotel for another 28 days is $810. The third booking for the final 28 days in that hotel is $840. I haven’t decided if I want to though…still thinking about it.
Beautiful. But I guess I'll just buy when I get there because I'm not giving away money under the guise of being called "gift" money to the person who I am PAYING RENT to already. The "gift" is that we pay on time or early and we leave the place cleaner and in better shape than we got it. That's the actual GIFT. It should be called "GREED" money, because you want people to pay your rent AND give you extra money for absolutely nothing. No thank you, greedy.
I'd say if you're looking for a place like that, you already have lots of money and the price isn't an issue. Someone working a high paying job, or a husband and a wife.
Some foreigners might not have a high paying job though. It might only be $30-35k USD salary. They also might want to cut costs by having a roommate regardless.
Man, I seeing these videos gives me a massive feeling of 懐かしい. I used to live in Fukuoka and seeing familiar neighborhoods in your videos is so cool!

Yo do a video tour and post it, we want to compare!!
Japan > shitty states
You only pay $1700 here in NYC. L U C K Y! lol I'm beginning to think Japan is the place to be.
Beautiful apartment. Love all of your videos. Thank you for posting.
Great location, great place, definetely if I work at Fukuoka and had family I love to had that kind of apartment.
Happy New Year to You and other people in the comments. I wish you all the best!
Can I rent Leo palace for 3 months only since I’m on tourist visa?

You'd need your own fridge and washing machine, like he explains in the video
I never thought I would see an apartment in Japan that was too big for me. :) Are there any 1LDK apartments close by that you can show us?
Please do more videos 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Going forward can you mention the purchase price of some of these places
Is that a rental amount?
Can you look at houses for sale ? not apartments only
Are light fixtures still something you have to buy as well or did that change since I left ten years ago?
can you do a $500 and $750 apartment
I appreciate your videos. How is it that you can show us these rentals? Are you a real estate agent in Fukuoka? (I may want to contact you).
Tacomia is a great spot. The owners are a Japanese-South American couple and their daughter is Mia, hence Tacomia.
Nice crib. Too big for one person though. Thnx for posting.
No, the subway in Fukuoka is not convenient my friend, it's one of the worst I've used in Japan. Very limited and doesn't travel far out the city.

Are you a realtor or something? Or are you just touring these units as if you’re interested, and recording them for content?
I own my home in the USA. But… I’d love to live in Japan for a couple years or more. Possibly retire there…

Giving “key money” is a long standing tradition that dates back to the feudal period. It’s ingrained in the culture.
So this apartment will cost $500,000 yen for first month and then $250,000 yen every month after?
If my math is correct it's 750K first month
@@kvom01 It's still a scam.

And, you can't just use a guarantor company instead. Many owners will refuse your business if you don't have an actual Japanese guarantor.
Get yourself a roommate and it cuts rent in half

What, only a college student wants a roommate. Grown ups don't do that. They live within their means. They don't live rent poor.
Some foreigners might not have a high paying job though. It might only be $30-35k USD salary. They also might want to cut costs by having a roommate regardless.
how much in jpy? nvm it was 25万 oof -- what u doing to afford this lmao 😩
