      @Bigheartoneggshells Honestly I already know all of that about Japan and still want to move there. Mainly because I’m insanely introverted and Japan has a lot more to offer someone like me than the US where everyone expects you to be positive and outgoing. No hugging in Japan. Cool. I don’t even want to be touched. I heard about restaurants in Japan where there’s minimal human interaction. You sit at a private booth, make your order, and the food comes out through a little door. Sounds like heaven to me. I might stick out for the color of my skin but as long as I don’t get assaulted for it or harassed like in the US then I don’t mind dealing with dirty looks. The only reason I don’t go other than not having money is because I don’t speak the language at all and I feel like it would be disrespectful to move to another country and not know the language at least. I do respect their culture however and if I learn more Japanese I would consider moving there.

    Congrats on starting your new life in Japan! I remember having the same feeling when I first moved here and it’s a wonderful feeling. I’ve been here for awhile and that feeling has died down a bit, but I shouldn’t take living here for granted and still feel thankful/excited to be here. Your apartment looks great, my rent is around the same price but might be a little smaller. I kind of wish I went with a loft apartment because the high ceiling makes the space feel bigger 🤔 Have a great 2023! 🎉

    The desk area is probably my favorite thing you did with the space. I do everything at my computer anyways and a lot of the "small tokyo apartment" tours I see on youtube, nobody really has a proper desk for multiple monitors or a tower, which is something I wouldn't be able to sacrifice. I'm planning to move to Japan for a year after I finish my degree (Summer 2024) so I've been watching a lot of these small affordable apartment tours :D
    You did A LOT with the space and I'm honestly pretty impressed. I have a lot less clothes so I probably wouldn't need the second hanging area. The bathroom wallpaper is pretty cringe, also I'd be a bit sad not to have a bidet toilet like most of the newer places. One thing I'd personally change in your setup, is find another place for the trashcans. I'd feel so closterphobic coming in with them in the genkan behind the door. But that's just me. The space seems to really work for you :)

    From what I have seen (videos) of Tokyo apartments, you have got a bargain. The awkward thing with housing though, is regardless of the size of the home, you have the same amount of "stuff". If you have a small home, you either have to get rid of some of the stuff or have additional storage. Is there any way you can utilise the loft more? There seemed to be extra space up there. The only thing I didn't like about your apartment was the round rungs on the loft ladder. Very hard on the feet in my experience. I would beg steal or borrow a flat stepped ladder lol.

      Just for reference, In Tokyo, the average home price ranges from $337,000 - $429,000 USD. The average cost of living for one person in Tokyo is $2,200 per month, not including rent. The average home size in Tokyo is 700 - 900 sq ft.

    Good Afternoon 🌞 💭☕️ Ryan 😺, Hey 👋 We just finished watching your lovely 🥰 video. You remind me so much of “my son” Timotheous 😺 What’s your cats 🐈 name? We saw your cat 🐈 so much in your video. Could you do a video on your cat 🐈? Did you bring your cat 🐈 with you? Or did you get your cat 🐈 there? Happy Caturday 🐈 Sincerely, In Him, Karla Bailey
    P.S. Do you speak Japanese? What do you do for a living?
