45 floors up -- that means a long elevator ride... Do you prefer high-rise penthouses or low-rise suites?
Neither. For me, nothing compares to a well designed Kyoto house.
I hate elevator rides, but nothing beats those views!
It sounds a bit weird when you say grandiose. I think you mean grand
When there is an earthquake (and its aftershocks), you definitely prefer a low-rise suite. Unless, of course, you love "the thrill of the swing".
Low-rise. I just switched from the 18th floor to the 2nd. Much better (and much easier to haul a dog and a toddler down the stairs when the fire alarm goes off because someone burned their dinner).
If you're paying $12k a month, you'd want something ALOT better than this shabby ex-office.
very claustrophobic for a penthouse
Yeah. The bedroom and living is quite spacious, but the hallway is just a single person access.
Totally. The ID is horrid for the price you are paying.
it's set up as an office most probably because the rent is used as a business expense for tax purposes.
Good luck finding one - this is Tokyo we're talking about. Location matters.
I love that you also show the neighborhood - it's really cool to see different parts of the city as well as the cool houses/apartments.
The neighborhood makes the property
Clown had to spend most of the time on the neighborhood because the actual apartment was so wildly UNDERWHELMING.

Now now, let’s not call names
@@patrickcrowley4682 I don't believe his name is "clown"
A little surprised by this one. Expected more contemporary updates and more natural light for the price point. The tour was interesting nonetheless!
Surprisingly ugly closet for 12k /month. Build-in wood starts at 24k/ month I assume?
BTW AEG once a German brand was sold to Electrolux in the 80s and stopped producing nearly everything but ovens in Germany. Here no one buys AEG anymore, you can buy Italian or polish stuff since AEG is manufactured there so why pay extra for the same or lower quality. The only white ware brands you can buy from Germany is more or less Miele, Liebherr, and some Bosch/Siemens/Neff (all the same) and the quality is going down. 2020 dishwashers are worse than the ones from 2000. Brauknecht from Italy is what I d recommend.
The funny thing too is that it looks like this apartment doesn't even have an oven. Guess you have to renovate one in.
Cameraman in the bathtub should be a new unit of measurement for bathtub's.
"How many cameraman's fit in your bathtub sir?"
Not sure I'm excited about this.
Sincerely,
The cameraman
You should do a video covering some of your favorite restaurants in Tokyo! I know there's a neighborhoods one but a food-focused video could be cool
Tokyo Portfolio of foods
Such a good idea.
I would love to see some food things in Japan.. Real estate is not doing much good.
If we make bath-tubbing together a new channel staple, then I think we're going to have to discuss a raise.
How much for bathwater?
@@TokyoPortfolio Will send you a quote.
Just don't turn it into a Belle Delphine bath water situation!
8:04 Chris (Abroad in Japan) Mount Fuji's curse strikes again hahaha
I’m curious if those types of buildings have common areas like lounges, gyms, etc. One thing I’ve gotten used to in my current place is concierge and a package room.
Great apartment and tour once again Alex! The overlayed graphic on the "podium" was a nice touch. From what I've seen so far from your videos you would get my vote for supreme overlord.
He is definetely the shapiro i would vote for.
@@boopdino8053 definitely this Shapiro and really NOT the (arguably) most famous other Shapiro on the internet
Time to add Food to the Portfolio!(Shoku Portfolio anyone?) That aside, I felt that the property had a very...commercial feel to it? Aside from the exquisite kitchen and living room, the rest of the rooms feels pretty normal which makes the contrast painfully obvious. The view is killer though!
You gotta be making atleast 300K to afford this apartment 😅
Nice shirt
Nice video! "As you can see" = 1 drink, forget getting drunk, try to just make it out alive :)
Ngl, I choked on my dinner a bit with the clip of Connor yelling - kudos to the editor!
Wow dude I would totally buy this house..... if I was rich as Bezos
Why would anyone spend $12,000 / month for 90s style, IKEA cupboards and almost no windows. Oh, wait, it's for rent; nobody would. 🤣
Great video! Wouldn't mind it if you would do even more content around the neighborhood
Hi Alex, I love your videos and searched for something similar (after binge watching yours... naturally), there is NOTHING like your channel on youtube!! Yet on TV property channels are so popular??! MORE PLEASE, LOTS MORE!!!
Love the Onibus coffee recommendation, although I never knew how to pronounce it either!
That’s where my daughter was born haha !
If i win jackpot lottery,definitely i would buy it.
You wouldn’t want to be claustrophobic..
Too bad Connor wasn't the camera man; you wouldn't have to encourage him to enter the bathtub -- he'd already be in it!
I know I'll probably never make enough to afford any of these places. It's still giving me ideas for areas I would like to move to once I do finally get around to moving to Japan.
weeb
Yeah that's all great but is that HDMI 2.1?
🤣
wow that's a nice neighbourhood, dont think ive heard of it before
$12,000/month for this place seems insane to me idk.. I know the location plays a role and that Japanese homes are much different to American homes but I feel like even in an expensive place like LA or New York you can have way more for that amount. Seems more of an office/work space than a home to me. The toilets are sick though I will give them that 😂
I’m sorry, I’ve seen uglier things, but I still have to say that this the ugliest, because of the amount of money they ask for that monstrosity. What’s with the corridor and the blanc ikea « which one is the cheapest » model, I hope that the room without windows had at least some ventilation outlet.
First thing I thought about was - heating/cooling costs
I love that Penthouse in Japan only problem is I don't know how much in UK money as I'm from UK
Sweet, now I only need 10 full time jobs to live there.
It’s always exciting to see you post a video.
can you do more videos on what normal people can afford
Very bad layout. Half of the rooms have no windows.
First luxurious apartment I could actually live in, that doesn't hurt the eyes. The only problem is the price - it should be 1/3 or the current listing. But hey, we are in Tokyo, it's what it is...
Oof that's a steep price. It's a nice apartment. The bathing room is neat, I love the sauna feature. Also nice that the toilets have their own rooms so you aren't barging in if someone wants to relax in the bath. I guess for the location it's worth it, but living room and kitchen didn't really vibe well to me.
I can't remember if I left you an enthusiastic comment on your Karuizawa property video but if not-- IT WAS SENSATIONAL. One of your best efforts yet. I really, really enjoyed not just the footage but the incredible amount of information you crammed into it, all delivered in your highly digestible style. Thank you, love your channel! 😊👍
this is the only channel I think about if I won the lottery. To reach out asap.
My stomping grounds!! Yeah atlas tower, especially the top floors have some crazy, stunning views ❤, and there are just loads of great cafés and places to chill.
I really liked this one, especially the kitchen, if I had the money I would definitely consider renting it.
drinking game idea: 2 shots for everytime he says 'you wont find this in japan' and 1 shot for everytime he says 'this is really rare to find in japan'
The realty game is on point here! Makes me think about who Im buying real estate from. You really know your stuff! Looking forward to seeing more Alex!
Nakameguro also has the finest American BBQ in Tokyo with Hato's Bar, and is also very beautiful during hanami due to the trees lining the river.
How much are the banh mis?
Totally agree about Hato's Bar. The Banh mis are ¥600-¥750 depending on what you get
yooooo the super i buy my groceries at is in nakameguro:)
I am not Japanese, but in my fathers culture, we remove shoes before entering a home, not just for cleanliness, but a show of respect, love that you do this to the properties you show. Some great apartments you have been showing us here :)
Everyone removes their shoes entering a home, except Amercans
@@thesunris Not always unfortunately, seen plenty that dont :(
Canadian. Shoes come off. We have a front hall or even just a little square space used for removing shoes. The idea this is weird is itself weird to me. Half the year they’re snowy, half the rest of the year they’re muddy. Who wants that inside?
The only country that I know of where people don't remove their shoes is the US...
Not everyone can wear those flimsy flat slippers (house slippers?) They don't have heel cushioning and they don't have arch support. If that was my place I would keep some cleaning wipes by the door so guests can wipe off the bottoms of their shoes.
I understand that as a Japanese individual it's probably nice to have a view at Mt. Fuji but let me tell you this.
I bought a 5 room, 1 living room, 1 guest toilet, 1 normal toilet with bath and shower, 1 garage apartment with 3 grocery stores in a walking distance for 130.100$ in Germany with the view at Polish/Czech mountains, quiet neighborhood and free electricity if we ignore the 2000$ yearly fee for the upkeeping of the solar panels and the central battery system which supplies the whole house and if needed, I can quickly book a very cheap electricity from the city with a click of the button in the smart home app (which costs me in winter/low electricity production months around 60-90$ per month depending on the use).
It's not as premium as the penthouse in the video but you don't have to worry about loosing your job and not being able to pay the monthly rent.
I also own a 4 room, 1 bathroom and 1 parking spot apartment in Frankfurt Main which was actually my first property that I ever purchased and basically I took a credit for that house, paid in total 94.400.80$ (4.300,80$ for the credit / rest for the apartment) and I paid it off after 5 months and now I'm renting it to a group of students which already brought me over 40.000$ in profit.
In other words, if you are not as spoiled as 90% of the rich people are, it would be better to invest into apartments or houses, eventually rent them or keep them and then after 8-10 years just sell them with profit.
I don't need to tell you that this might be a better idea than spending your money on crypto, crypto mining, NFT or buying stocks from some developing companies.
? sir this is a wendys
This is one of the best apartments I’ve seen on your channel. Very nice.
@CDawgVA is dying to get in that tub.
You know, I have almost zero chance of ever living in Tokyo or even visiting Japan with my current life projection.
But I just watch these vids to help bump the view count.
I love all these apartments... awesome video Alex!
I could never afford any of the homes in these videos, but the fact that I know that Banh mi place exists now means there's something I can actually buy being shown.
After seeing rents in places like NY, this looks like a bargain.
I always enjoy these videos. Truly. I'd like to see some variation in what you present though. My favorite videos so far have been the more unique places. All the high-end, luxury abodes are nice to fantasize about living in but rich people are all the same and after a while, these videos kinda feel the same because of their rich dullness. Either way, I appreciate your channel and content. Just a personal preference of mine.
I will need a signage for every door or I will lose my way 😅
Love your videos, wish I can move to Tokyo and If I ever do you will be my real estate agent
I get that it’s in the middle of Tokyo but Jesus. Lol. My 1400 a month apartment in Oregon has a bigger master bedroom. Don’t get me wrong I’d much rather live in that place. Just saying for 12000 a month you’d think it would be bigger
I love these videos so much oh my god
I am guessing that kitchen was never used as there seems no place for a fridge and all the cupboards would display your groceries to visitors and guests with those lighted pierced fronted cupboards.. hard to imagine your breakfast cereal and marmalade jar and bags of chips helping you look cool in there. It looks too much like an office space to imagine living there
holyyyy shitttt - I thought NY was overpriced but this is genuinely another level. There's something about tokyo that's so depressing. Literally every building looks like a tiny US office building from the 80s
The taste level is seriously lacking in this one
Something about the renovations the previous tenant did to that penthouse, I am loving them! The rich earth tones, the subdued lighting coupled with large windows, the green spaces (which I would fill with real plants). Gorgeous!
It looks depressing and horrendous
Given the location, and the view the price doesn't actually seem that exuberant. Thank you for showing the neighbourhood.
If it takes a while to go up the elevator to the 45th floor, imagine taking the stairs XD
The view is crazy, even when it's all cloudy, the vast distance you can see over Tokyo is still magnificent.
The best part was the mushroom though, I hope it's part of the apartment haha
I really do like this apartment. Love the bathroom, love that tub 😊😊 I am ready to move in lol
4:15 all I could think was that's for washing a small dog, that laundry room is goals
What a fantastic and unique apartment! Thank you for also including information about the surrounding area, it always gives these tours that personal touch.
i love this house
You need to be like CEO in some big company to earn enough money in Japan to pay 12 000 $ a month for rent? Given that how bad the value of Yen against USD is now
12 000 USD is 1 882 776,00 Yen
I'm ready.
Always love your videos, they make me Daydream about moving abroad
lovely area to stay
Really awesome 😎
I agree with someone's comment... looks so corporate office like. The dark colors, the browns, tans, and golds yuck. So the big feature is the view...the sky, then Mt. Fuji. I would totally bring whites & a Monet blue color palette & glass & fabulous artwork with beautiful textiles. The only 12 million worth now is the view.
The architecture reminds me of ex-ussr. And this is supposed to be luxury? In London you'd get a Victorian house with garden, terrace and a wine cellar for this money. The landscape would look nicer as well.
Spacious, indeed but by north American standards, if I may, not really a "Penthouse".
I'm surprised tho that it would only be $12000 monthly.
Thanks
Whats with super expensive japanese apartments and their crappy ikea tier cabinets and shelves? The holes arent even plugged....
Thank you for touring us around the expensive residences of Tokyo! I know I can't afford them but I can dream. ❤
With the appartments most of the time being in the unaffordable range all the "it is unusual in japan" features seem kind of commonplace :)
12k$ a month .... insane ....
also you saying stuff like "... is normal everywhere outside of Japan" and "... should be normal" and such for all the things I have never seen anywhere in all the European countries I have visited yet, probably as I never stay in 12k$ places XD
I think city you focus is overrated. You should have another channel for outskirt of Tokyo like Chiba or Yokohama where you can get exceptionally fantastic views of city and mt. fuji with significantly less budget for the houses and apartments with larger interior space.
The lay out of this place is horrible even if your only using it for business and pleasure lol
Using the Connor clip, implying any Streamer outside the top 0.05% can afford $12,000/month lol
I kinda hate it
Reminds me of a 90s office so very unsettling to me ..
edit: i just saw that it WAS an office, that explains it
Don't like the apartment at all. Mostly cheap looking furniture/appliances except for the kitchen...
Tbh doesn't seem worth it, the living room office area pretty claustrophobic, too many doors and basically no furniture. Either way good video.
Makes sense that this is an ex-office. Still looks like an office :( for that money, I’d look for another place.
Great view of the city but the penthouse not worth 12k a month. It looks like this whole penthouse came in boxes from IKEA.
The view seems to be the only good thing about the place. It looks horrendous inside. Maybe if a few walls were knocked down and some of the tacky stuff gets thrown out it would look really nice, well, fitting for its price.
It is beautiful, but it seems you're pretty exclusively paying this money for the location and view (then again, it could just be non-japanese idea of what a good amount of space is)
For the same price in New York or San Francisco someone would get a much nicer place.. those across the pacific don't understand luxury.
I love how you start with the bathrooms and bedrooms. Usually these videos show the bedrooms last.
Imagine dropping your phone or anything else on those wood floors, you would most likely be charged 3 months rent for the pleasure. Living in a 'home' being frightened to fart or touch a wall and it left a mark and paying this much, no thanks
The japanese got the weirdest floor plans.
you say it takes up the whole western side, but only 1 side of the whole apartment got windows. What the fuck is up witht that.
For a penthouse it looks small. The master bedroom doesn't have a bathroom, small ref. If they bothered to put a dishwasher, why don't they put an oven too? The lighting and ambience of the whole place looks dated and sad looking. I mean if they hired a designer to renovate that penthouse it looks like a fail.
When the toilet lid lifted up on its own as you open the door 🤯🤯🤯🤯
you can get something leagues better for 12k/month in NYC, and that is really saying something.
12000 per month.... I don't see any luxury... it is not worth it at all....
Love the Connor cameo
