    • @TokyoLens
      @TokyoLens  4 місяці тому +226

      trust me
      you don't want to live on the outskirts
      While tokyo might seem crowded during the daytime, everyone goes home to the "outskirts" at night meaning
      a) the outskirts are WAY more crowded
      b) Trains to get there are often packed especially at peak times"
      c) Tokyo itself is rather quiet after business hours
      d) outskirts often means a variety of other increased expenses like the need for a car, or 2-3x the transportation cost going to and from etc..
      Its better to find a quiet area IN tokyo, and enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with it
      I visited a friend in"quiet" Saitama
      and it was hell
      even on the weekend, the trains out there (and back) were weirdly crowded (and few), then we had to wait 40 minutes for a simple restaurant for lunch, and hit a shopping center and supermarket to grab supplies and food, and from the parking lot to the shopping center itself, it was painfully crowded
      at least in Tokyo, you can avoid the crowds
      if one spot is too crowded, go to another
      if your area in the outskirts is crowded
      theres no escape
      youre stuck in it

    Having seen the live streams on Sherry's channel where she assembled some of the furniture it's nice to see it all came together ok.

    I think the price is ok taking in to consideration that it is sooo centrally located.😊 Love the natural light coming in...and the chair is a must! One needs another area to do stuff that's not in an office chair! the rice cooker is so cute!! And the house warming gift is perfect!!🎉

    That's not a bad place, and if the views are as good, $600 a month isn't bad!
    Love the little useful things that Sherry was able to get.
    We bought the same projector to use at our hotel stays in Japan when we come over 😅😂

    I love what Sherry did with her place. I was trying to figure out the best use of the space for me and I would have been using a bookshelf next to the kitchen/living room divider door for additional storage space, but other than that I would like it just the way she has it. I thought the extra chair was for visitors until she explained about the dining area. Still, the chair is perfect for both uses. In such a central location, $600 is an absolute bargain!

    $600 😭 once again complaining from ireland because there are no 1 bedroom apartments here for less than €900 and they're obsessed with building family homes instead of homes for singles/couples. this would be my ideal apartment but it just doesn't exist here.

      Same here in the Western US. An apartment like that is probably a little easier to come by in my city than yours, but it would cost a minimum of $1200, probably more if the location is especially good, and be marketed as “luxury housing.”

I was not expecting the galvanized steel meme, it took me out 😂 this video was the perfect length, I wish we could get more like this but it feels so rare how often close friends move! Best of luck in Tokyo :)

    is always so interesting watching tokyo house tours, its nice seeing it before and after furnished, though is funny how different it is from my first week in my current danish apartment, I literally had a matress on the floor in what is now my office/dining room, a single purple side table, a power strip, and an old wooden dining chair

    That's a great price! In my city (Minneapolis, MN, USA), it's very hard to find an okay studio apartment for less than USD$1,000/month. And that does not usually have a space for an indoor washing machine! Love that it's in the middle of things, too. Happy new home, Sherry!

    This apartment so reminds me of the places I stay at whenever I'm travelling around Japan and then the price does hit hard when you think about the fact that renting such a place for just a week would usually cost more.
    I do love what she did to the place. Very functional and lovely.

  • @JeremyLevi
    @JeremyLevi 4 місяці тому +2

    That's a great price for a central location in a top tier city, even accounting for the fact that Tokyo is generally less expensive than others. Well worth a few small initial headaches with broken stuff needing to be repaired right away. The size is ample for a single person and I'd especially appreciate the large closet. I also totally agree with needing a comfy place to relax, read, and dine, although personally I would have gone with more traditional furniture like a Kotatsu and a futon to allow more flexible use of the limited space. I'd probably go with an L-shaped desk in the area where she has the bed and have some sort of free standing divider or folding screen to help delineate working space, leaving the rest of the main room free as a separate living space with the Kotatsu as the central feature. I spend a lot of time working from home though so I probably need that separation of function more than others might.

    I remember when I first came to Japan, I stayed in an Airbnb in Yakuendai, and the place is just like what Shery-san lived in, tho a bit older and smaller still.
    For context, I am from Singapore and the minimum houses are 3-room flats, but the issue is that they are all meant for families. 1-room and 2-room flats exist, but only for the low-income families. So Japanese apartments like these are way smaller than what I see in Singapore, but despite that, for an individual it is not just perfectly sufficient, but actually very spacious for a lot of things.
    Also I like how we went from "barely tiny" to "comfortably tiny", which I like haha. And now watching the next part of the video where Sherry-san has furnished her house, I actually love it. Without the requirement of starting a family and just being alone, the freedom and spacious-ness of the one room is actually very nice.
