For everyone that has been asking where to buy good futons outside of Japan, I found a place that sells authentic hand-made Japanese futons abroad. These are actually 100% cotton so they are the real deal: goo.gl/iOhUf4
Looks really pretty and organized!
400 DOLLARS?

This is real minimalism and let's be honest, nobody needs much more than this 😊
From my experience of living in Cambodia for two years, I realized how little we really do need. I suppose even in this apartment I have so much more than many people in the world are able to have. Thanks for your comment =)
I agree, except for the kitchen. If I had a 300 sq ft apartment, 200 of that would be kitchen! Cooking and baking is very Zen for me, especially the preliminary preparation. I'd need more space for the bowls, cutlery, cookware, stove and oven. Having family and friends over for meals is one my greatest joys.
My thoughts exactly!
This was a beautiful minimalist house tour. I just started a journey of minimalism. For me this is going to be a long journey as I have a family of 4 and we have accumulated many things over the years. I just started in my closet and master bathroom and already the peace and calm has trickled into the other areas of my home. I grew up in a home that was border line hoarder. My mother and father still to this day have thousands of stacks of papers, old rusted vehicles that don't run, piles and boxes of clothes and so much furniture that it can't even fit in the house so it is stuffed into the garage and sheds. Recently I was over there for a visit and decided that I do not want that kind of a lifestyle either. I realized that the excess in my home was crowding my ability for spiritual rest and creativity. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks for sharing your story! Sounds like you have already made some good progress. My mom is super sentimental and I also have other family members that don't seem to mind floor to ceiling clutter. It took me a few years to fully unlearn these habits. It isn't a race though and I found it can become a bit addicting. Best of luck on your journey :) :)
Jessica Durrant I would really like to know if you have any progress on your minimalistic life compare to that time when you wrote this commemt :3
I'm inspired too!!
Jessica Durrant one day I decided to get rid of all the "sentimental things" that crowded my house and I have never felt better walking into my home. so simple and clean and not overwhelming to the eyes. there's nothing like it! the rule to go by is if you havent used it get, rid of it. if you dont need it, get rid of it. if its in storgae for the "maybe one day ill use it", get rid of it! keeping tables clear of cluttered decorations everywhere you look is def. a plus too. Goodluck 😄
Wow! This is the most attractive minimalist apartment I have ever seen, and I've been looking for inspiration on UA-cam for years! Thank you for posting!
+Barbara Shirland Aww, that is REALLY kind of you to say that! Thanks for watching :) :)
I love the lifestyle, it seems very stress free! You've inspired me
+Nicoco Siriwong Awesome, I'm glad to hear you found it inspiring. I do feel that this lifestyle has reduced a lot of stresses. I credit it all to Marie Kondo's book. Thanks for watching and also for your lovely comment :) :)
This is such a soothing video, and it's SO inspirational!! Thanks, you guys are awesome
+emi Thanks so much for this encouraging and lovely comment and of course for the sub! Have a great week :)
Yes, exactly the term...soothing.
I really like this apt more as well. I'm moving soon to a studio apt and will be touring some units that are either 285 or 385 sq ft and now see that larger space doesn't always mean better.
+thisiselodie Perfect timing then. Our situations sound quite similar. I wasn't sure before moving if we would be able to handle the smaller space either but now after living in it I've noticed it is better for us. Thanks for watching and good luck with your apt hunting!
Thank you
Oh this new apartment definitely wins the race. It looks so much more clean and peaceful because of the new floors and walls. The bathroom looks great as well. I think Marie Kondo would be proud, there is not one unnecessary item. I can only imagine what kind of peace of mind comes with such a clean space.
So great to hear this! I agree, something about the space being newer has made it that much more calming.. which was unexpected! Thanks for watching :)
This apartment is great! Yes, please show us your capsule wardrobe and please tell us about your laundry regiment! Thank you so much for sharing.
+Tina Mar Laundry, now that is an idea I hadn't though of yet, will add it to the list :) I hope to film the capsule wardrobe this week as well. Thanks for the lovely ideas and it was great to hear from you today!
Im so in love with this apartment! the layout is so perfect.
My second apartment was a 360 sqft studio, and i was most comfortable living there.
+Marisa Knox That is great to hear. Small spaces certainly have their pros and cons, especially for two, but we are enjoying this space at the moment. Thanks for watching!
this apartment is far better....it looks cleaner and modern..as for the kitchen you can use some wall storage from ikea
Thank you for posting both videos! So interesting to see how others' live. As I look around my rooms, there are many things out of place. I'm lazy and tend to just put whatever wherever without tidying up regularly. Besides this bad habit, I have many more 'things' than you do. Your lifestyle is helping me to think about changing the way I do things. I do feel best when my surroundings are tidy and organized. I actually feel better about myself, and more uplifted, and even more energetic. Thank you again for sharing.
I was EXACTLY the same way before reading Marie Kondo's book. I had a ton of stuff and it was always exploding everywhere. My husband is very thankful for the changes! Glad to hear you enjoyed the videos and best of luck with your tidying journey too :) :)
Your space is so peaceful. I love the way you have kept everything so simple, and have managed to keep a small space from feeling cluttered. I hope to imitate your style! Thank you for sharing.
So glad to hear you found the video interesting! Small spaces aren't easy but I was able to gather a lot of inspiration from Marie Kondo's two books. Best of wishes to you and thanks for watching :)
This made me want to move to Japan!
It is a wonderful country! I am so thankful I get to spend a whole year here. Thanks for watching!
To save space, hang shoes on several coat pegs on the wall. Hide behind a set of curtains on a spring rod.
I love it so much! I love that drying system in the bathroom! Just watching this I can definitely see that you have found your "click point" for possessions, and maybe the homes communicated because your belongings look even happier in this home. Thanks for sharing!
+Sarah Bond This is SO thoughtful and kind of you! I agree, something seems to have clicked with this place and my urge to discard and rearrange has disappeared for now. Feeling relaxed. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, it means the world to me :) :)
I really love this house better than the other one. So organize and clean!
Thank you for your feedback =)
Small Asian apartments in general seem so efficient. It’s always been a dream to live in a tiny home and this is such a good base for design!
This looks so comfortable and bright! It also sounds like you're enjoying this space much more. That's wonderful! :D
+The Mad Lolita Yea, it does seem more bright, which is crazy considering that it really has only one source of natural light and the first apartment had 5. Thanks so much for your comment :) :)
Very nice and visually appealing.
+digital mimi That is lovely to hear. Thanks for your comment :)
For the heavy box, you can attach wheels on the bottom so that you can move it easily. or put furniture pads on the bottom. That will help it glide on the hardwood floor.
Good ideas! Thank you. I have felt on the bottom at the moment and it also helps a bit. Thanks for watching ;)
I like this apartment better too. It may be smaller but it's well designed and at least on the video it looks the same size. The bathroom must be a welcome upgrade!
Great to hear from you Janet! It was a very welcomed upgrade indeed! I'm thankful everyday :) :)
I think this one is much better. I loved the idea of turning the bedroom into a lounge place during the day, it seems really comfortable!
+Nícia Cruz Yes the lounge is a cozy place, my husband likes it too and sometimes he ends up so relaxed that he falls asleep there in the afternoon. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Beautiful apartment! Loved this even more than the last. You've created such simplicity, order and peace. Watching your tour brings a feeling of freedom and calm. Thank you so much for this video.
+Green Willow Thanks for that lovely feedback! It definitely does feel freeing to me as well. The space is in order and my time and thoughts are freed up to focus on hobbies. Thank YOU so much for watching and for your sweet words :) :)
+TaraWhiteTalks You're so welcome!:)
Best organized minimalist home ever.
+ME-Tube Your Space! Wow that is a crazy compliment! I'm not completely sure it is true but I'll take it. Thanks for the sweet words and for watching :)
I'm very honest. I never seen a minimalist apartments that keeps it very organized yet have a nice decor to it's space. Very nice indeed.
+ME-Tube Your Space! You know how to make a girl blush!! Well, I'm honored to hear this. Thanks again :)
This is not tyne house.
This is very rich people's apartment room !
むちゃくちゃ羨ましい。
I was living here with my husband so it was a home for us ;)
Rather than a container for keys, try a hook.
I watched both apartment tours and definitely like your new apartment best. size doesn't matter. it's quality that matters most. It is very nice to look at and I can imagine myself in the space.
+Adero Prescott I love what you said about size and quality! SO TRUE. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
it is 2 am right now and i am watching this video after watching the one at the previous home. Fact is, that I too am moving into a new place I had made a list of all the things i'd buy off amazon or ikea to beautify my place. but after watching this, it all seems useless. Less is definitely more. this was a brilliant upload, Tara!
+harsh bhatia Haha! Get some sleep :) I'm happy you were inspired by the video. I usually wait until after moving and setting up what I already have to make a new purchase. It gives me a better feel of what is lacking as every space is different. You may still need to make a trip to IKEA for a thing or two but no rush. For this apartment I needed a new TV stand, a shelf for the cabinet, and a few boxes for organizing. Best of luck with your move!
+TaraWhiteTalks when i reevaluated my list, i almost chucked out 3 quarters of it because i could repaint most of my old stuff to match the new decor. Nonetheless, i loved your video. Good luck :)
harsh bhatia Sounds great!
Loved. I want to live similar to this when I move out of my parent's home.
It would be a good space for one person or a first time apartment. Thanks for your comment Angelica!
This apartment is absolutely beautiful!
+Christy Anne Jones Thank you! That is so sweet, thanks for watching :)
The new place is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!
+Roxana Teodor Thank you! That is SO great to hear!! Thanks for your comment :)
I was feeling stressed today, so I came back to rewatch this video and it worked wonders. Thanks!
That is very sweet of you. I never intended it to have a calming effect but I am glad you found the video helpful again. Hope all is well! Sending hugs from Japan =)
amazing.you live with such little clutter and you are so organized! I love the device in the bathroom ceiling that drys clothes.wish I could import one.
+Samantha Esra It is a cool device for sure! I should have included some footage of it in action. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for the lovely comment!
Samantha Esra You can also simply put your clothes on the hanger and hang them in your closet. Just push away the other clothes for a little room. I do this after washing them in the washer machine with a spin cycle. Water doesn't drip on the floor.
Excuse me but I do hang my clothes on hangers in my cupboards.why you think I do not ?! also I can dry my clothes inside in Oman.But in South Africa the weather is totally different and you can not dry all items indoors.mostly we hang them outside on long lines.
Samantha Esra wow! why are you negative? bless your heart.
I live in Massachusetts and I hang my laundry on those indoor drying racks. I have 2 and I think I bought them at Walmart or Target. Most of my things dry overnight. Sometimes I put them in a dryer for a few minutes to soften them up. Clothes last a lot longer not being dried in a dryer.
Lovely! Much more peaceful than the previous apartment!
in love with that corner in the bedroom.
What a nice place, small but really functional, even hi-tech.
+Besoaria secondaccount Yes, it is a little hi-tech, the little luxuries help make up for the tiny space. Thanks for your comment :)
I like it!! Very breathable,very bright and clean. Love that Muji thing as well. 😁
Thanks for your comment. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. Have a lovely week :)
i love this one, so clean and minimalist
Thank you =)
This one looks absolutely better than the first one
+Ujala Shujat It is so great to hear from you, and it is also great to know progress is being made. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
I prefer the new place 100%!
+Thi Huyen Nguyen Thanks for your thoughts, it is great to hear from you!
Love it! And how cool is that to have a blow dryer for the clothes! Everything looks perfect. Your husband definitely cooperates & conforms nicely to the lifestyle. It's nice to see how well you work together.
+Elmo “and” Lynne Thank you! It is funny because my husband doesn't consider himself to be a minimalist at all, but coincidently, I think he does have less stuff than me so it works out. He is supportive of the change because he knows how messy I was before and it was actually him wishing I was tidy. But after reading Marie Kondo's book, I changed overnight and now I am the more tidy partner. It is quite funny to us looking back. Thanks for the lovely comment Lynne!
I like this one. Mostly cuz of the bathroom and layout flows better from room to room
Very true! Thanks for sharing ;)
It looks so neat and tidy! I do like this apartment more, it seems like it spreads more light into the room, even though I like the entry way of the other one more. Thanks for sharing it with us, I just ordered the books of Marie Kondo and I hope, that decluttering again brings more clear space into my shared flat. Thanks for the inspiration :) Hope you have an awesome sunday.
+punkt.punkt.punkt. Thanks for taking the time to write such s thoughtful comment. I agree, I was worried about natural light bc this apartment only has the one window.. But actually the lights are so modern I can control them to imitate different times of day with white or orange light at varying quantities. This is a great feature for me. Even on a rainy day it can seem sunny in here. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did. Have a great day!
This apartment is gorgeous!
Thank you =)
WOW! This is my first time viewing your video; I have not seen your previous apartment video. I Love Your Space. So, neat, Clean, Small and Perfect. I am inspired by your way of living and will take some of your storage ideas to my new apartment. Thanks and happy living.
Thanks Kymberly! Glad to hear you were able to get some ideas from the tour. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and best of luck setting up your new apartment =)
I love it!! Eventhough it's smaller than your previous house, I really think it's an upgrade! :) It looks so peaceful and zen 💛
+Lucinda Samira Thanks for this thoughtful comment Lucinda! It was great to hear from you today and thanks for watching :) :)
I would like to find out what you take with you when you move and what you leave behind/buy new at the new place. Love your home tours! So much inspiration! Keep me motivated to let more stuff go.
+Lonneke Boons I LOVE this idea and I have a list of everything I bought in Japan as well as everything I brought so I'll try to figure out how to make a video on that and maybe I'll just post the list on my blog when I do. Thanks for sharing this idea and for watching!
this is literally my favorite minimalist apartment tour, I always end up rewatching this video to get inspiration. love the set up!!!
I like your new apartment much better:) And you should be proud of all the organizing and tidying you have done! It looks amazing!
+Brooke Flood Aww thank you. That is a very sweet comment. Thanks for watching!
I do love Asian homes because they are multifunctional and very well thought. Yours is even more being a minimalist. But I do love it.
Yes! I agree, they are designed very intentionally and are super practical. =)
sooooo intresting the bath, thank you for sharing it with us 💕
Glad to hear you found it interesting =)
I prefer the newer apartment, and I really like the bathroom in this one as well. Thank you for sharing.
+grace day Good to hear your feedback! Thanks for taking the time and for watching :)
Your home is so clean
Store cosmetic bags and towels on open narrow shelving over the back of a toilet. Place a cosmetic bag on a hook near the bathroom sink as needed. A vanity may not be needed.
I love the new apartment! It really feels very calming and just so "clear". I think you utilized the space in a great way! :)
I am so happy to hear this feedback, you put it beautifully. Thank you for this!
I'm gettin positive vibes just by looking at it ...
I'm moving back to Japan next summer. Your video has given me a lot of inspiration on decorating!
+Sara Bladestorm Aww great to hear! Japan is certainly a special place. Best of wishes for all your preparations and travels!
Very nice! So clean simple and light. It's not cluttered at all, good job!
+Jenny Banana Thank you Jenny! I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching.
Do you do a lot of home cooking? I feel like that kitchen would be more stressful than helpful, though I guess it depends on how intricate your dishes are.
+tgime1 We do cook three meals a day. The chopping board on the fridge can come down over the sink to make a little more work space but it is tight. We have just learned to adapt and none of our dishes are too incredibly complicated. More so than the size, my biggest complaint is not having an oven. But it is fine for now! Thanks for watching :) :)
It's lovely!! Much better than the old one and I am totally inspired by your management of space and tidiness. 👍🏻😊
+kattspurr I'm super happy to hear you found the video inspiring! Thanks so much for your kind comment as well :)
This is what i call minimalist!
This home is goals.
Definitely love this home, it's bright and welcoming.
In case you're still wondering, I choose the new home hands down, especially because of the larger pleasant looking bathroom!
+LifeSupportProducts AJBV Thank you! It is so nice to hear your thoughts. Thanks for watching!
Now, this is minimalism. Wow
I miss living in Japan, I miss the convenience and the daiso. Moved to a new flat in the UK and not sure about where I'll be in a year so I'm trying to follow a simple minimalist format. Thanks for the video, it's given me good ideas :)
Rather than cleaning products, just use water as needed. Less chemicals.
To increase storage area beneath a sink, add sliding trays.
this place is very muji! very nice!
+simplebeautyworld I do love Muji.. It is one of the only places in shopping malls where I feel relaxed. It is also one of the only places where I wish I could buy everything but that is a different story! Thanks for your comment :)
This apartment is more modern. It looks great!
+Doreen C I was initially worried it wouldn't get enough natural light but it has been just fine. We are loving it here. The modern amenities make it very comfortable. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely love your apartment! I have not seen your other one but this one is clean, beautiful and organized!👍
Aww thank you! That is so kind. Thanks for the comment ;)
I love your place! Everytime I watch these apartment tours overseas everything is so cluttered and unorganized and I always think to myself "Why can't they just put everything away where it belongs?!" Or "Do they really need all that crap?" You have everything exactly right! Everything you need put away exactly where it belongs and nothing more.. I love it!! 😀
Absolutely love the new apartment! What a fantastic use of the limited space, and so organised. I also love the white against that light wood floor, looks very fresh and inviting. I'm in Korea and doing the KonMari method this week.
+Kimberly Lisa Wow how exciting! Is your place just as small? I lived in Korea for 3 years but that was way before this channel and before I learned how to be tidy. I miss the food a lot! It was so great to hear from you, thanks for the comment :)
+TaraWhiteTalks I'm not sure what my square footage is, but it looks about the same size except I have a small balcony as well. It's the biggest place I've had in Korea but I miss my place that was actually the smallest. I feel like I own more things in this apartment bc there isn't any storage space, so I've resorted purchasing some open shelving, quite the challenge.
+Kimberly Lisa I hear you about storage!! If you don't have a place to put things out of site it really does make you feel like you have more. I'm sure you know the shop Daiso, that is my go to place for storage solutions. My first apartment in Korea had the most thoughtful built in storage and I miss that! Good luck with your KonMari :)
+TaraWhiteTalks oh yes Diaso and GMarket are a life saver here. They are my go to places for all things. I actually wish I could change out some of the furniture too, as my employer and I have different taste, I know u understand that struggle. Thanks, looking forward to the clean.
+Kimberly Lisa OH YES, I understand that struggle lol, and it is even worse when they won't even let you get rid of it! So nice to connect with you today. Take care :)
I like the small and efficient Japanese appliances and will be replacing mine (when no longer working) with them.
Sounds like a plan! At Bitcamera in Tokyo you can buy some appliances with western voltage =)
Very tidy and lovely! Great job!
Thank you =)
I think this apartment is way better than the old one , it looks more neat and clean , however the thing I liked about the first one was the tatami room ,
thanks for the video , it's quite inspiring ; I have always been a person who doesn't like to own a lot of thing and I have been loving the minimalist lifestyle :D thanks for the inspiration
+Bougrea Hala I agree! I dearly miss the tatami, it smelled so lovely and had so many benefits. Awesome to hear that you also are working towards the same goal of being intentional about the things we surround ourselves with. It can be very liberating! Thanks for your sweet comment and for watching :) :)
Marie Kondo would be proud (I just read her books).
I LOVE her books! Which one is your favorite?
I am an indian. But the most beautiful thing I saw in this video are the matresses which were on the floor. Sleeping on floor is really indian feeling and I just m glad to see this also out of my country. House is lovely and Superb. 😊😊😊😊
Love the new space!
+Jennifer Ho Thank you so much Jennifer :) :)
TaraWhiteTalks You're welcome- I hope you have an amazing day! :)
+Jennifer Ho Awesome! You too!!
Beautiful apartment! I love how there is a place for your items
+Jerry Chamnichanh (ChamCham) I learned that from Marie Kondo's books. It really makes it easy to keep the place tidy. I used to be very messy and it drove my husband crazy. Thanks for watching!
That is amazing that you can live on such little amount of things. I can't even imagine trying to do that. Although, I was happier with a lot less stuff. Great video!
+Yvette EvyEve Glad to hear you found it interesting =)
This is so relaxing to watch! I love how seamlessly clean and de-cluttered the apartment looks! I aspire to apartments like yours when I'll have a place I can call my own one day!
+Alessia Signorino Wow, it is such an honor to hear that. I never dreamed that so many people would find inspiration from this tiny apartment but nevertheless, I'm very happy it has been helpful to others. Thanks for taking the time to write such sweet words and thanks for watching :)
I love both apartments I love how minimalistic you are
+Fatimah Hussain Thank you, I'm so glad you had a chance to watch them. Thanks for your kind comment!
I LOVE this apartment!! A lot more then the other one. So clean, organized, and nice. Love it!! Very inspirational.
+ThePetiteEclair SOO glad to hear you found it interesting! We are a lot more happy in the new place. Thanks for your lovely comment :) :)
So clean and simple, I started to like this concept.
+Adhiraj Gupte Cool, so glad to hear it! Thanks for stopping by :)
The prettiest apartment I have ever seen. Though I am not a minimalist yet, I've constantly and slowly started getting rid of things. Regards.
+Latha R What a lovely compliment! Thank you so much and good luck with your own journey on finding the right amount of stuff for you. Thanks for watching :)
I definitely like the nicer (non-plastic bathroom) - LOL, and this one gives off a nice vibe a lot more. The kitchen is smaller, but you can't have everything! I do like that the small kitchen is more private, whereas the bigger kitchen had a bit of windows for people to peer in. You make a beautiful home no matter where you go. I am already a minimalist but will incorporate more Japanese simplicity into my home now - thank you.
+Tiffany Nelson Wow, thanks for this thoughtful comment! I totally agree, being on the first floor on a street with a lot of foot traffic was a bit strange, especially when cooking. But for sure I am not missing that plastic bathroom either. Thanks for your comment and glad to hear you found the video interesting :) :)
Your apartment is beautiful and sooo clean and organize I love it !! Congrats
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, and of course, thanks for watching!
Thanks for these two videos. When I watched the first one, I liked it... But now, after watching this second one, I like this one better. One thing I didn't see is any balcony (I am going to watch it again to see what I have missed).- I really like the way you have arranged your belongings according to the KonMary method. I am trying to do the same thing, but I want to read the whole book first (I am still reading the book). Thanks again for sharing. The more I see it, the more I like it.
+CAROLINA LANDER Thanks so much for this lovely comment. Yea, if it hadn't been for other UA-camr's posting their home tours I'm not sure I would have gotten as far in my KonMari/minimalism journey as I have. It is great for us visual people to see what others have done, good and even not so good so we can get ideas. I also liked her second book.. Spark Joy.. It went a little deeper and helped me more with how to put things I want to keep away. Thanks for watching!
I love this apartment! The previous one was nice but I can see how your new place utilizes the square footage better.
I'm so glad you were able to watch both tours! I defo agree with you about the square footage. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, it means so much :)
So beautiful and clean, a very calming space indeed
Aww, thanks!
Wow .... That was phenomenal !!
Beautiful :D I way prefer the new home and you have made it so well organised. We hope you're very happy in your new home :) x
+KaelaLee Daley Awww, YES I'm very happy in my new home, and also thankful for your sweet words :)
Try a handheld computer or clipboard and take your work anywhere.
I also bought a table from ikea and sawed off the legs. Nice thing about the US, Home Depot does it free.
Really?! That is amazing. Thanks for the tip..
Awesome I love this place!! I make some videos in minimalism too on the journey...where did you get the futons? I wonder if Ikea has some..
+Jady A. Futons are pretty much everywhere in Japan, but I think they can be a lot harder to find outside. I would check Amazon.com for "shikibuton"/futon. My main tip would be to get a high percentage of natural fibers inside. To answer your question though, my boss provided ours. I don't know where they are from but they are 50% wool. Hope that helps and I'll have to check your channel out bc I love videos on minimalism :) Thanks for watching!
Omg i never thought i would see you here! How are you? I just started watching heaps of minimalist videos when i came across yours, and i was like 'wait what she looks familiar, i know her!!! Tara!!!!!!! 😊❤️❤️❤️ i jus gave birth 4 months ago.
Wow!! What a small world! I was just thinking of you and the crew the other day. I'm doing very well, missing Australia though. Congratulations on your new baby, sending many blessings to you and your family. I hope all is well and thanks for stopping by to say hi, keep it touch :) :)
