HELLO EVERYONE DID YOU GUESS CORRECTLY!!?!? Anyways this move was exhausting and sooo much work lol. Sorry the filming and audio are ALL 😨OVER THE PLACE I did what I could 😅 Now please watch until the very end because this video is SUPER LONG!!! and RUclips will punish me if you don't watch most of the video 😨...which is why I left the juicy stuff (cost etc) til the end hehehe
I definitely like the second apartment a lot except the closet. If I could move the closet from the first choice it’d be a great apartment for one person I think. Good luck with the rest of your move! And the new job that can be stressful! I started a new job last Fall after finishing my second bachelors degree and its stressful but good learning experience.
You could create a lot more storage if you think three-dimensionally and create some storage above, one simple way would be to buy a bunk bed and use the top bunk for storage. LOL, you looked very stressed out and you look like you need a holiday now. 🏝️
congratulations on the move! $275USD sounds really good, and they really take care of your furniture so it's totally worth it. i'm just shocked at the amount of stuff you had in that studio! good luck settling in, enjoying your new area and starting your new job!
It was fun watching the whole process and very informative of how moving works in Japan and in general. It’ll help me prepare when it’s my turn to move.
I admire how much work you put into your move and this video. It was very informative and nice. This also opened my eyes to how creative you gotta be in a smaller space. You pointed things out or did things I never would've thought of or knew about to make a small space more functional.
I'm so excited for you! Moving is always stressful but having a new space can be so exciting and refreshing ! Enjoy the process of settling in :-) rooting for you!
Congrats on the move! Honestly as someone with chronic pain I am so excited to never have to move my own stuff again when I live in Japan lol. Can't wait to see how the place comes together!
WOW! That's so professional and organised for movers! Japan is awesome for that. UK movers can suck, that's why I bribe fam and friends with food and stuff for helping me when I've moved lol. Happy to see you settling in somewhere new, it's a new chapter for you.
Hi Allison!! Thanks for share! The last time I moved it costs $3,000 USD plus tip for 3 moving guys to transport all of my packed boxes and furniture into a UHaul I rented from my 3rd floor walk up, one bedroom apartment. It took them 3 hours. They did not provide boxes, wrap furniture for protection - nothing!! Those prices for the amount of work the movers do in Japan sounds like an Isekai dream! 😂🤩
Congratulations on moving to your new apartment, thank you for sharing the moving process with us too. I think you made a great choice with the place you’ve chosen and I wish you all the best in this next chapter of your life 😊
I really admire your determination. We are starting the whole process of moving to Japan and it's incredibly daunting and overwhelming. So many things to do and so many questions to investigate.
I enjoyed your video. When I lived in Japan, I had an absolute nightmare of a move. I asked a Japanese friend to get quotes for me from removal companies because I didn’t feel confident enough to do it myself. She said it would be too expensive and that her husband would hire a small truck for half a day and we could do it ourselves. All I needed to do was pack everything up in boxes. I can’t remember how much it cost but probably around ¥8000. He turned up with a van (not a truck), and his teenage son. They loaded up the fridge, washing machine, small table, 2 chairs, TV, mattress and the van was full. Drove it to the new place and half a day was gone and they had to take the van back. So, I spent the next 2 weeks, before and after work making numerous trips on the train with my suitcases - clothes, books, small appliances and kitchen and bathroom stuff. I probably made at least 2 early morning trips and 2 late night trips every day and at that time I was working 6 days a week. Everything I had packed into boxes had to be unpacked and crammed into my 2 wheelie suitcases but not so heavy that I couldn’t manage - walking to station, up the stairs (no lift) on the train for 15 mins, the destination station had a lift from the platform down to the gates and then another one up to the street, then a 15 minute walk to the new place….empty the suitcases and go back for another load. I did this with a broken toe too as I dropped my TV (old style) on it trying to lift it up onto its stand. A couple of days before I had to be completely out of the old apartment, the same friend rang me and asked if I had anything else that needed to be moved and when I said yes, she sent her husband and son with their car this time to take the rest of it. I took the train with the suitcases while they took the rest of my stuff by car. I then had to go back and clean the old apartment. Only then was I able to start organising my new place (a small 2 bedroom, 2 storey house where I lived for the next 13 years). I so regretted not getting a removal company to move the lot in one go. I was willing to pay but my friend said it would be prohibitively expensive. I’d have happily paid ¥80,000 to avoid the aggravation. Looking forward to seeing your video of the apartment all set up.
Congratulations on your new apartment and navigating this move! I love your new curtains, that pink is perfect. I wish you lots of fun and happiness in your new place.
I’m very glad you covered the implementation of moving companies here. I have lived here for a little over four years and my wife and I have used a moving company. Although paying for this service may seem unwarranted especially when considering the cost…..we were very pleased. The packers were very efficient and so professional and courteous. The Japanese are also known for efficiency….using a company to help with moving takes the stress out of transitioning from place to place. Thank you…..I also stress to everyone arriving in Japan the use of a moving company helps with luggage to one’s accommodations
You should be very proud of yourself!! Since I first saw your videos, I was impressed with your courage moving to a different country/culture and succeeding 😆😊 You should do a video on your friends that we’ve seen in your videos!
Re-visiting this video about 9:48ish into the video, putting up your curtains, "you seem to have an amazing city skyline view, WOW"❤love that.I saw it again 2nd time 15:18 ish.
I watched all the ads to help with the more expensive choice. 😂 my neighbors kid has been screaming every day too and I’m tempted to use my megaphone and ask them to chill out.
Glad to see you're settling in! I just orchestrated a move from Fukuoka to Saitama for a 2LDK apartment, plus getting me and two kitties here (it was a long, long day). The apartment getting process is so, so stressful (as was closing out the old one) I don't want to do it again any time soon. The move itself turned out be the easy part (well, if you discount packing 50+ boxes). I had one company come in and take a ton of stuff away, and I lucked into movers who charged me around 1.6 million for that cross-country move. Beats the 55,000 yen Art charged me to move less than 10 pieces of furniture 150 meters during busy season.
So, I am watching your video from my quasi-empty living room here in Tokyo as I recently moved from London and haven’t come around to buying any furniture yet 😅 Well done for managing everything on your own, it’s impressive. I had help from my (Japanese) husband and can’t imagine having to deal with all the paperwork and everything by myself 👏 All the best for this new chapter ahead of you! 🎉
Allison! I'm so excited for you. Moving is stressful, but there is so much excitement in starting a new chapter, like you said. I really hope one day I can say that I'm moving into my own apartment in Tokyo one day =) おめでとう〜
Congratulations on the move and getting your new home. Thank you for sharing your moving experience in Japan, it was really informative and interesting to see. Good luck for your new job.
Hey Girl, i admire how you packed and organized everything by yourself. with my adhd i always struggle extremly xD especially with that space you have'! Awesome :D thanks for taking us with you!!! ps: love your new apt!
Bless you Allison I am the same, particularly if I have to catch a flight very early the next day. I keep waking up in the night the night before in a panic thinking I have overslept!
I'm happy you could take the second apartment. Noise and street few can become extremely exhausting over time. I had two noisy apartments, they almost drove me insane. And I'm not using "insane" lightly.
Hi moving is very stressful. My Boy and I have just moved it cost £744 and they didn't even take everything. I am still moving stuff and we're been in the new Flat 1 week. Your did way better. Sending happiness in your new home. Tina from UK 🇬🇧
I comment "Congratulation on your independent apartment" the same as before. Cozy place typical of Japanese style hope there is quiet too. Pack well 3meals, snacks and don't forget coffee. Next time you come having good content.
Congratulations on your new apartment! Moving is awful in any country I think, but it seems like yours has gone pretty smoothly. I would find it difficult to live in a Tokyo-size apartment, I am a craft hoarder. Your logistics of trying to unpack in such a small place looked horrendous but you are obviously experienced on how to tackle it.
Congratulations on the new apartment! In the US, the same type of move would have cost you at least double… 😬Looking forward to see videos about your new adventures. 😀
I can’t imagine doing something like this. It feels like Idd die of anxiety to go any where in Asia by myself and let alone live there. No way no chance. Canada felt like a monumental move. But it was not. Canadians are kind and very easy to to talk to. My fav country in the world.
Moving in country Western Australia is easy as everyone has a trailer so only costs fuel. We have moved heaps and never used a moving company. I just got back from Japan mid April and heading back next year, we have been looking at buying a house over there. We love Japan so much, so this video has been good.
That price sounds good to me. I paid an arm and a leg in the US, but I had a LOT of stuff. I'm glad you got apt #2! I think you should put the old bookshelves on the balcony and put some plants on them.
I have moved a lot but my last move I decided to hire a moving company; will probably never do it myself again. It was definitely worth the money to skip several days of sore muscles!
Congratulations in your new place!! We just moved from Florida to Pennsylvania for my husbands job. Luckily we had a full service pack & move so they packed everything for us which is great but unpacking was interesting..a box would say “Master bedroom” I’d unpack some sheets and at the bottom would be cookie trays or my tea pot lol
Very cool that you’re able to live and work in Tokyo. Covid killed my opportunity to volunteer for the Olympics. I was chosen as a city guide and a games guide as well. But as you know, they didn’t allow foreign volunteers when the games were rescheduled. Hoping to return to Japan this Fall. But lots of changes for us with this move to PA and leaving my job with Disney 😢 Best of luck to you!
Hey Allison, congratulations on your new apartment! 🎉 You mentioned using the expensive trash company to get rid of a big furniture piece. Could you please let me know which company you used?
Ha! I love that you opened with the sound of … did you say previously that it’s a nearby highway?? Ye cats! I hope it quiets down at night. Still, I would’ve chosen apartment two as well. Probably. But being in the middle of a fun area rather than a few blocks from one would’ve been a strong pull, though…
Moving is always stressful. I am presently renting from my sister and I want to move, but I don't want to go into another rental place, because the trend of moving will have to be repeated all over again. Moving is a very stressful affairs, so I am hoping when I do move, it will be in my own place.
I gotta get an update on the tension rod shelf!! It made me nervous watching you put it up. I can see it falling during the middle of the night and scaring the @#$% our of you!! Just discovered your channel and am enjoying going through all your videos. I'd love to see a Single in the City video or two (once you get settled, of course).
Awesome!! Washer/dryer is great too. The fragrance name though 😅 Do you know the Marie Kondo style clothing folding techniques? Might help to fit your drawers.
Any advice for going to smaller places where the people might not speak english? I have found small cafes, ramen shops, and other smaller businesses that I want to go to, but I speak toddler-level japanese. Maybe not even toddler-level. I feel like I'm missing out on some experiences because I don't want to be "that foreigner" who goes somewhere and can only speak english
Yeah, this! I have the same issue of feeling intimidated or like I’m inconveniencing the staff too much. But there are so many local small businesses I’d like to check out.
Hi, new subscriber here. I think the moving company gave you a very good price. Here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is very expensive and they do not protect your furniture like that. Very nice apartment, I'm glad the moving went smooth.
Hi Allison, I was wondering where you get your music from. I know that you always write the songs in the description but where do you get them from (YT library, epidemic sound, etc)? :) I hope you'll enjoy your new appartment!
Great video, keep the info coming. 275 for such a considerate service is super cheap. Moving my small one bedroom in Maine cost almost 800 dollars and they weren’t careful and one of them was racist.
Moving companies that do the full pack would assumably exist here in Australia, but personally i feel that type of service just works really well in Japan because of the culture, over here i wouldnt trust people to not steal or break my items while moving them, in Japan i wouldnt bat a eye.
Hi allison i forgot to ask you how did you throw away your stuff like the plastic bins in your old place? i thought you needed to recycle and sort all the rubbish or unwanted stuff?
Yeah the moving companies are something. We had Sakai over for a quote and Ari san no mark showed up early. I stayed with Sakai as he called and calculated and hubby quickly took Ari upstairs to talk. Ari guy must not have seen me. He started bad mouthing Sakai saying they used gaijin employees. Yeah hubby noped out of that quote fast. The guy seemed a bit horrified when he saw me. Hubby later told me what happened.😅
"Pile of misery" and "lane of despair" shall be terms I'll use on my next move now. I wish we had reliable moving companies in the U.S. The one time I hired one it was a mess and they damaged stuff. I've gone the U-Haul route and the good old relative with a truck route (paid him of course).
This might be a silly question but what exactly do you use to clean your walls? I'm still new to Japan and I'm afraid I'm going to ruin them since they are so fragile 😵💫
HELLO EVERYONE DID YOU GUESS CORRECTLY!!?!? Anyways this move was exhausting and sooo much work lol.

LOL, you looked very stressed out and you look like you need a holiday now. 🏝️
How was the process of looking for an apartment and etc.?
Love you're videos and ur moving experience cant wait till the next one
yes many of us in your previous video got it right. I was correct too!
congratulations on the move! $275USD sounds really good, and they really take care of your furniture so it's totally worth it. i'm just shocked at the amount of stuff you had in that studio! good luck settling in, enjoying your new area and starting your new job!

The new apartment is adorable.. How exciting for you Allison. Those curtains are adorable! Have you started your new job yet?
Yay #2!! Glad to see you survived the move. Looking forward to seeing more of the new place 👍
Congratulations on your new place and your next adventure! 🎉❤❤
thank you!! 🌸
Congratulations on moving to your new apartment, thank you for sharing the moving process with us too. I think you made a great choice with the place you’ve chosen and I wish you all the best in this next chapter of your life 😊
I really admire your determination. We are starting the whole process of moving to Japan and it's incredibly daunting and overwhelming. So many things to do and so many questions to investigate.
This has got to be one of the most realistic moving vlog I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!
Fun watch and informative. That new places looks great 😊 Had a great laugh at "time to move" and you started dancing, what a pun 😂
Omg I’m really excited for the video!!
You bring me joy!❤🙂I love the kind and generous heartwarming atmosphere that you create, your kind, easygoing, warm vibe. ❤
First I love your Japan vlogs, it's also raining a lot here in Colorado.
I say its really nice seeing you put everything together and unpacking close unlike many other videos thank you

Thank you for introducing many good ideas to use a space efficiently. I’m also living in Tokyo, I should use these ideas!
What I've learned is to make use of vertical space.
I watched all the ads to help with the more expensive choice. 😂 my neighbors kid has been screaming every day too and I’m tempted to use my megaphone and ask them to chill out.
Congratulations on the new place!!!
thank you lisa!

I know on twitter you were worried we wouldn't watch all the way through but I enjoy your content so much this video just fly by so fast! Great video.
So, I am watching your video from my quasi-empty living room here in Tokyo as I recently moved from London and haven’t come around to buying any furniture yet 😅 Well done for managing everything on your own, it’s impressive.

Allison in Tokyo, San Antonio Texas loves all of your content!!! My cat, kitten enjoys all of your adventures too, she sends you a purry hello.
Congratulations on the move and getting your new home. Thank you for sharing your moving experience in Japan, it was really informative and interesting to see. Good luck for your new job.
Congratulations on the new place!

Moving is always such a crazy experience. Hope you’re settled in ok in the new spot!
Congratulations on the new place! It's coming together nicely. Great video, as always 🙂 Fab curtains 😍
I'm happy you could take the second apartment. Noise and street few can become extremely exhausting over time. I had two noisy apartments, they almost drove me insane. And I'm not using "insane" lightly.
this was such a great n helpful vid!! thank you for always workin hard :) hope you love the new space
Hi moving is very stressful. My Boy and I have just moved it cost £744 and they didn't even take everything. I am still moving stuff and we're been in the new Flat 1 week. Your did way better. Sending happiness in your new home. Tina from UK 🇬🇧
Liking this video for the card captor sakura posters in the background. That's true culture right there.
I comment "Congratulation on your independent apartment" the same as before. Cozy place typical of Japanese style hope there is quiet too. Pack well 3meals, snacks and don't forget coffee.
Next time you come having good content.
finally getting a washer-dryer was life changing for me as well. 😅
Congratulation on the move! Hopefully next time you'd be big enough to get a sponsorship for the move!
Congratulations on your new apartment! Moving is awful in any country I think, but it seems like yours has gone pretty smoothly. I would find it difficult to live in a Tokyo-size apartment, I am a craft hoarder. Your logistics of trying to unpack in such a small place looked horrendous but you are obviously experienced on how to tackle it.
Good luck with everything in your apartment🫶🏻🎉
Congratulations on your new place, Allison!
Congrats on your move. It is a pain moving but at the end I hope you will be content with you new place~
Congratulations on the new apartment! In the US, the same type of move would have cost you at least double… 😬Looking forward to see videos about your new adventures. 😀
Hi Allison, congrats on the move and everything, also, I’m loving the long hair on you ❤
I can’t imagine doing something like this. It feels like Idd die of anxiety to go any where in Asia by myself and let alone live there. No way no chance. Canada felt like a monumental move. But it was not. Canadians are kind and very easy to to talk to. My fav country in the world.
I like the idea that you are fastidious about cleaniness prior to moving in.
Moving in country Western Australia is easy as everyone has a trailer so only costs fuel. We have moved heaps and never used a moving company. I just got back from Japan mid April and heading back next year, we have been looking at buying a house over there. We love Japan so much, so this video has been good.
Congratulations on your new place! Cool PC, did you build it yourself?
Love your Griffith observatory shirt 😍 that’s my home base.
That price sounds good to me. I paid an arm and a leg in the US, but I had a LOT of stuff. I'm glad you got apt #2! I think you should put the old bookshelves on the balcony and put some plants on them.
I have moved a lot but my last move I decided to hire a moving company; will probably never do it myself again. It was definitely worth the money to skip several days of sore muscles!
Congrats on the move! is sad leave an apartment where u lived firsts experiences but now u can be open to new things!
Looking forward for the tour if we ever get one 😊
Congratulations in your new place!! We just moved from Florida to Pennsylvania for my husbands job. Luckily we had a full service pack & move so they packed everything for us which is great but unpacking was interesting..a box would say “Master bedroom” I’d unpack some sheets and at the bottom would be cookie trays or my tea pot lol
Very cool that you’re able to
live and work in Tokyo. Covid killed my opportunity to volunteer for the Olympics. I was chosen as a city guide and a games guide as well. But as you know, they didn’t allow foreign volunteers when the games were rescheduled. Hoping to return to Japan this Fall. But lots of changes for us with this move to PA and leaving my job with Disney 😢 Best of luck to you!
This looked exhausting. Whenever I move I remember George Carlin's bit on having stuff.
Her working, me starring at the card captor Sakura posters 😂

Okay, that washer/dryer model (11:34) is pretty boss!! Is it available in the U.S.A.?
Moving sucks. I've lived in my house for years. I was young and my friends and I moved everything. Awesome job 😊
What camera do you use for vlogging? I just have my phone and it sucks. Hope you are well. Peace
1:07 > "measured the windows and shopping for curtains"
in metric :)
I was hoping you picked apartment 2. That’s the one I would’ve chosen too 👍🏻
Hope you will be very happy in your home😊😊😊
Moving is always stressful. I am presently renting from my sister and I want to move, but I don't want to go into another rental place, because the trend of moving will have to be repeated all over again. Moving is a very stressful affairs, so I am hoping when I do move, it will be in my own place.
That is a really good price! I paid ~$800 to move my one bedroom 💸💸💸
PS - I love the gojo shirt!
I gotta get an update on the tension rod shelf!! It made me nervous watching you put it up. I can see it falling during the middle of the night and scaring the @#$% our of you!! Just discovered your channel and am enjoying going through all your videos. I'd love to see a Single in the City video or two (once you get settled, of course).
Loveing your video new sub here from nyc
wow awesome! ive always moved by myself, but this pricing seems very reasonable!
Can't wait for the typhoon to settle down so we can see a proper tour.
Awesome!! Washer/dryer is great too. The fragrance name though 😅
Do you know the Marie Kondo style clothing folding techniques? Might help to fit your drawers.

@@melkiway Exactly! I know it's on me for not knowing japanese.I'm also on Kyushu in a smaller city, so even less people speak english
Hi, new subscriber here. I think the moving company gave you a very good price. Here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is very expensive and they do not protect your furniture like that. Very nice apartment, I'm glad the moving went smooth.
You should try to get taller storage to make use of the room you have. If you can find any.
Hi Allison, I was wondering where you get your music from. I know that you always write the songs in the description but where do you get them from (YT library, epidemic sound, etc)? :) I hope you'll enjoy your new appartment!
thank you for the video and the info, it was interesting! Is your new place the same size as you last place?
Great video, keep the info coming. 275 for such a considerate service is super cheap. Moving my small one bedroom in Maine cost almost 800 dollars and they weren’t careful and one of them was racist.
Hi, i think this is the first time i have seen you wear jeans in your videos. i only started following your videos start of 2022.
Moving companies that do the full pack would assumably exist here in Australia, but personally i feel that type of service just works really well in Japan because of the culture, over here i wouldnt trust people to not steal or break my items while moving them, in Japan i wouldnt bat a eye.
It always surprise's me how difficult people find setting up routers to be. I don't know why, but it does.
Hi allison i forgot to ask you how did you throw away your stuff like the plastic bins in your old place? i thought you needed to recycle and sort all the rubbish or unwanted stuff?
How is the washer/dryer combo working out? I almost got one of those for my tiny house
Yeah the moving companies are something. We had Sakai over for a quote and Ari san no mark showed up early. I stayed with Sakai as he called and calculated and hubby quickly took Ari upstairs to talk.
Ari guy must not have seen me. He started bad mouthing Sakai saying they used gaijin employees. Yeah hubby noped out of that quote fast. The guy seemed a bit horrified when he saw me. Hubby later told me what happened.😅
"Pile of misery" and "lane of despair" shall be terms I'll use on my next move now.
I wish we had reliable moving companies in the U.S. The one time I hired one it was a mess and they damaged stuff. I've gone the U-Haul route and the good old relative with a truck route (paid him of course).

I hoped it was 2. Congrats.
It is interesting video , I also want someday go to Japan for living.
I just recently discovered your channel. Congrats on moving! I just wanna say that you remind me of Jennifer Lawrence lol
Yay congrats on finally being moved! Moving blows! 🤣
awesome new place
This might be a silly question but what exactly do you use to clean your walls? I'm still new to Japan and I'm afraid I'm going to ruin them since they are so fragile 😵💫
