Honestly, I really like this one! It's compact, the free laundry room is great, the bed could go downstairs and upstairs can be a cute little relaxation spot... and the price isn't bad either, considering how new it is.
I don't know what it is with me lately, but I am very intrigued with how people are able to cram so much into a tiny living space and make the most of it, from micro campers, to van-sized RVs, and now I've stumbled my way here. Nice work on the video, Usui.
I like this one, good toilet space with toilet paper storage and no glass door. The small fridge is a nice bonus. There’s plenty of light so it doesn’t feel like living in a cell. Also, you have the option of having your bed in the loft or on the main floor. I was a bit concerned about no washing machine room in the apartment but having free laundry facilities downstairs is a great plus. And the rent is very good for what you get. I think this is a winner!
It reminds me of a dormitory suite. That is the cleanest under floor storage I've seen so far. There are some that look like the entry to a deep dark passage. Finally toilet paper storage! The first you've shown with a laundry room. The jazz music is a nice added touch to the video. 😊
This is one of the nicest ones we’ve seen. I think the free communal laundry area is very smart. It is designed well and doesn’t look old or compromised in any way. While the loft is still up a very steep ladder, it is done well for what it is. I also love the privacy “wall” between the street and the lower half of the bottom window.
Yes, I would be fine if I could change the step ladder to one less steep and with a handrail. You can get ones that fold up against the wall these days.
This flat is perfect, beautiful finishes, real doors, even a toilet paper cupboard, luxury. Beautiful loft where I would definitely put the bed and television, in the living room table, chair, an armchair. Finally the communal laundry, another luxury. Also perfect in price.
This is the most unique UA-cam channel I've seen in a long time. I would've never thought Micro Apartment Tours of Japan would become my new obsession. I'm an American viewer and I'm very fascinated by the Japanese lifestyle. Your channel has a broad variety of different apartment and I love the effort you put into finding different types of micro apartments. Each apartment on your channel never looks the same and have unique distinguishing features.. Also, I deeply appreciate your music choice in the background, the calm jazz music is the perfect element for these videos and makes watching very enjoyable. Well done.
Hello there, back to the hunt of micro apartement. This one is the new generation micro apartement, it is well thinking and with lot of light. Nice micro place. Take care you and Mr Spiderman.
This is one of the nicest micro-apartments you have visited so far. There is sufficient storage for clothing and food, and the loft space is safe ( the barriers could be a little higher but at least, there are barriers ). The free laundry room is so well designed and furnished ! I understand your fear of heights but it makes more sense to me to have your private space upstairs and your working and / or social space downstairs. Unless you frequently wake up during the night to run to the loo... Even with your futon mattress upstairs, it could be good to have a foldable bed downstairs so you can have a visitor over. There are one-sit sofabeds or even foldable foam mattresses that are like sofas when folded.
Really like this. Reasonable rent, sturdy ladder to loft space, good sized toilet/shower room and loo roll storage!! You could have the bed downstairs and your entertainment/work space in the loft area. You are close enough to transport links. This is a winner ❤️🇬🇧
I think my favorite place will always be the last video, but after seeing it and comparing it to the prices, I see that your present apartment is such a winner. I am glad you say you are studying micro apartments, because we were all expecting you to pack up and move one of these days! After seeing all of these micro apartments, I think you are so smart to have gotten the nice place you have for that price. You are very, very smart about money.
I'm so happy you're still showing us micro apartments! I like this apartment. I still think your apartment is the best but this is a good one. I would sleep on the main level and use the loft for living/office.
I'd personally place a folding bed, a work desk/dining & chair on the main floor, and stash away all the storage boxes, clothes and other non daily items up in the loft and use it as a guest space when needed.
I agree, I am afraid of heights so the loft would make me very uncomfortable because the safety rails don’t feel safe! (I am not saying they aren’t safe just that they don’t feel safe to me). So I would store stuff up there and have a chair bed downstairs ❤
Thank you for sharing 🙏 I like it. But this kind of setup is better for bodies under 60. It could be dangerous to go up and down the ladder. Really nice and has all amenities. One could literally just bring a few pieces of furniture and clothes, and be ready to just have a space for resting and spend the rest of the time out. Young people does that. As one gets older, one spends more time at home. Price is good too. Looking forward to our next video 🍀
I really like this one☺️ I would put mattress upstairs and a comfy armchair and tv and table/desk downstairs. Pretty street outside, too…could leave the window open for view and ventilation no problem!
I'm a little surprised but I quite like this one. The price is reasonable and the centre city is not far away. I was laughing toward the end because I thought "Usui has forgotten that there is nowhere for the washing machine" but of course he hadn't. That was an excellent facility in the basement. There are 2 things I would change. First I would like the ladder hand rails to go higher at the top of the ladder. This would make it easier to turn and start descending the ladder. Second, I would like the loft railing a little higher to offer more security. I am afraid of heights. I would score this one 6.5/10. Thank you so much.
This is definitely livable. A little small for me, but everything is well placed, no weird angles or awkward spots where nothing fits right. Like the under floor storage. you don’t see that often in these micro apartments, so it’s a nice touch. The laundry room looks really nice (much better than the laundry rooms of places I’ve lived in before). Quite a nice little apartment.
I love this micro apartment! It has everything you were looking for. It's a little more than you're paying now but I think it'd be worth it. I would put the bed in the loft and the living space downstairs.
The loft looks very bright and airy. It's not small and claustrophobic like some lofts we've seen. I like the little cupboard in the bathroom. Not just for toilet paper, but also for other things you might want to store there, like cleaning supplies. Overall, it is cute and cozy. I don't know if a micro apartment would be for me. But this is one of the nicer ones
This micro apartment seems to have been designed better than most of the others we have seen. It made sense where things were, the loft was big enough for a bed or computer/TV room or storage, but probably not all three. The laundry room meant not needing to allow space for a washer. I would not choose it without seeing a model with furniture because it looks good empty, but when I think about it, it is equivalent to putting everything in a space some US homes would use for a walk-in closet in the master bedroom (but not in my house).
If you're single or your family is in other city, it's actually a very good sized and designed. I'd definitely use the main floor as work/lounge/nap area with convertible table(s), a sofabed and chairs, the mezzanine as sleep and storage area
I like this one a lot compared to most. Free laundry is a huge plus! And while the apartment is very small, it is thoughtfully laid out and has nicer finishes. Price is good, too.
That’s a nice and simple apartment. I would probably put a futon at the loft space and a tv. Then the downstairs would be where I would put a desk and chair and maybe a bean bag/lazy chair.
This place would suit me well. I like the rent, natural light, fridge, laundry and water heater. The toilet paper situation is nothing short of five star!
The small section of the loft where the outlet is. Place a entertained stand there with TV and Xbox or switch or both. Put a futon bed up there and use the bed like a couch to play games. You can then put a big fridge downstairs. A table and two chairs for eating. Possibly even a computer desk, with a high end computer.
I think that's a nice place. Was a little sad to see there's a basement laundry Instead of in the apartment but if the use of laundry machines is free that doesn't suck. Almost as good. Especially if the apartment is on the ground floor. The apartment looks new and I like the finishes. The underfloor storage is cool 😎, all around the storage is decent. The placement of the ladder to the loft is perfect. The loft seems small though and that attractive metal railing looks like a trip hazard. I wouldn't want to sleep up there and fling over the side in the the muddled morning. I think the rent is okay. Thank you for showing this place. It's better than many micro apartments.
I like this one a lot. It's got everything you need. It would be nice if the living space was a bit bigger but it's doable. I'd put the bed in the loft and put a love seat in the corner with a fold out table you could use as a desk or dining table. Having the laundry downstairs is brilliant. It allows more space in the apartment. The rent is really reasonable.
Hi Usui😊 I love your videos.😍 I am a Hungarian from Finland but my big dream is one day to travel to Japan. I really like this micro apartment and I love the loft part.🥰 It's so private. When I was a child I had my bed in the room's loft part. For example if you have some guests they won't see your private area with your bed. And at the down part...you can even have a little IKEA flap table with chair. The table one part can be working table and the other part is where you can eat and the TV could be maybe on the wall. But the best things are the fridge, the WC paper storage and that the WC door is not transparent.🎊
Oh, I like this one! I own a reasonably comfortable sleeper chair, and I think that would work out great in this space. Sleeper chair and small table with a small dining chair downstairs. Use the loft for storage and a media room. Back when I was in an apartment where I used the communal laundry room, I loved it. There were always a stack of paperbacks on the table, so I would just sit down there and read while waiting for my laundry. I always thought it was charming that there was an unofficial library down there.
Hi Usui! Nice micro. The loft isn’t bad. The footage and space distribution of this one offers good alternatives to arrange the furniture. The laundry area looks well designed and clean. First floor is a two thumbs up.
If I had to have a loft in my apartment, this one would be a good choice. I would put my bed in the loft, with clothes storage in the smaller corner. I would place a comfortable chair on the opposite wall to the kitchenette. Directly across, I would place a desk and a TV. The location seems nice too. Thank for sharing Usui-san.
Honestly i like this one, the light wood color, layout, the loft layout and color, very cosy. I could use both as a sleeping area, meditating area,zen area, music area,study area, and it is free laundry. And the rental price is reasonable. Cool. I really must give a 👍 Clean, nice and cosy.❤❤❤6 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😊
I am loving this micro-apartment 🙂! It has a lot of potential - you can have the bed in the loft area or on the main floor. I personally see the loft being used as the sleeping area and the main floor as a spot for a TV, small armchair, and small study/work desk! The laundry facility works just perfectly and allows the whole floor space to be utilized! Great showing, thank you for sharing!!
I love this place! I'd definitely put a bed up in the loft, with the wooden finish it seems really cozy. The living area is big enough for a desk and some storage, and otherwise everything's there. The rent is very reasonable, too. This is a great find.
A communal laundry room in a rental apartment building?! Wow! What a novel concept! Sorry for being facetious; but a lot of apartment buildings in the US have them where the apartments are much bigger. When I lived in Boston for instance, I lived in an 800 sq ft apartment and the shared laundry room was down the hall. I just don’t understand why everyone seems to want to take up precious space in these micro apartments with these tiny drum washing machines which you probably can’t even wash bedsheets in. I like a lot about this micro apt; it’s cleverly thought out. The extra food storage in the floor is great. I like that the loft has railings. I’m not super afraid of heights but would probably also want the bed downstairs and use the upstairs for TV/computer use and some storage. I think I’d also maybe place a little bigger (about waist height) refrigerator downstairs with a microwave placed on top of it.
@@vikkischaffer2301 No, I agree that’s even nicer. But even having to pay a little a load (These days, they take cards so you don’t even need to collect coins most of the time. And the cost is probably at least the same as the water bill for home laundry would be.) is better than taking up space in a less than 200 square foot apt with a nearly useless tiny drum washer.
I would comfortably live in this space. It does not give you a claustrophobic feel given the size of it. The space provides you with the very basic things you would need to feel comfortable and live a minimilastic life. I believe 2 simple individuals can share this space. Awesome space and layout!
I would use the loft for all my clothes, shoes, bags. And the main floor for a cosy bed (storage space underneath), a small desk, a comfortable armchair, small floor-to-ceiling shelving systems (for my books, dishes, cosmetics) and a big flatscreen
I envision using the loft as a bedroom, with a cozy loveseat by the ladder and a multi-functional desk directly across from the loveseat, that doubles as an entertainment center.
Wow, that's one of the nicest places we've seen!! Love it!! I'm not huge on black and white, but this place is just too cute, and on ground floor, with own laundry room!!
I like this place. Loft is good for storage. Downstair: armchair bed and desk with chair. Laundry room is very convenient. Thank you to continue with this format, I like it very much💜
This one is great, compact like urs. It also has paper storage and fridge (u dont need buy the portable one and can eat ur favorite ice cream everyday) Washing machine can be placed behind the ladder. It also has storage for ur clothes. Ur table and bed can be placed beside window
It's too cramped for me, and with my bad knees, I could never handle the climb to the loft, but in spite of those problems, it's a really nice micro apartment. I have looked at thousands of floorplans over several decades, and this is the first time one made me burst out laughing. It happened when you showed off the cabinet over the toilet, like it was the best feature in the whole apartment.😂
so thoughtful that they have storage boxes and the roll screen going up slowly is so satisfying. combined entrance to toilet and shower is also a plus. and cute light upstairs. laundry in basement is really cool and means nore space in the apartment!
i LOVE everything about this apartment. there's even a common laundry room for free! I'd definitely put the office downstairs and a mattress in the loft, since i work from home and I'd need my desk to be easily accessible. I'd go and live there rn if i could. nice video. ❤
Been waiting for a new video😊 Wish I started watching your videos before we went to Japan earlier this year. We didn’t know about the water heater panels on the wall so we took cool baths the whole trip 😂😅
That loft is nicer than a lot of the ones that you’ve shown on your channel. I wish the ladder was real stairs with storage built in like I’ve seen on some other loft spaces.
Hello Usui! I think this. micro apartment is one of the best you've shown t'ill now. I think it may become a very confortable space. Thank you for sharing!
This one has a good layout, and makes sense for comfortable living. I would sleep in the loft, and use the lower area for work/dining with a table for dining to double as a desk, and a small couch for relaxing.
This is a very nice apartment, it’s clean and new looking. The building looks nice, as does the area. I think I’d have a sofa bed downstairs and use the loft for storage. The laundry room makes more sense to me than taking up space in the apartment with a washing machine. It needs more prep space for cooking though. On the whole, I’d give it a 9/10.
I think that is one of the nicest micro apartment I have seen! I like the kitchenette, the bathroom (no soggy toilet paper ,good storage) loved the loft and iam just fiine with the laundry I can use for free!!! ❤😊😊
I actually like this unit especially because of the sleeping loft. You can fit a double size sofa bed in the niche which shares the wall of the bathroom and the TV / bookcase. Have a small rectangular coffee table that is adjustable to desk or dining table height along with 2-4 folding chairs.
I’d take advantage of that lovely white wall in the lot and buy a projector! No need to worry about in a television taking up space that way. I’d probably do a futon on the ground floor.
I quite like this one. Despite living in a large house with other people, living here by myself seems luxurious. It has everything I need and that's it. I'd like to put my bed in the loft, but I'm quite tall (6'2"/186cm) and I'm not sure I'd be able to fit up there. It's so clean here!
I like a lot of things about this one! I would do what you did initially, and put the bed downstairs and entertainment furniture in the loft, so that I wouldn't put off going to bed because I was too tired to climb the ladder. 😅 But the laundry room would be a deal-breaker, if it can only be accessed by stairs.
La buanderie n'est pas gratuite, je pense qu'elle est incluse dans le loyer. Micro appartement agréable, avec des possibilités d'aménagement , peut disposer d'un canapé lit. Merci pour le partage. ❤️
This is not bad, Usui! Would definitely make the loft a sleeping area, to give it more privacy and separation. The apt has very clever storage, and the communal laundry is a good use of public space. It’s amazing how you hold our interest with micro apt after micro apt! And while other vlogs have cats and dogs, you have Spidey.
Not bad considering the odd floor storage. The nice communal basement laundry room at least is free! The price is right and the neighborhood is beautiful!! The space isn't long and narrow, the loft is not too cramped and even better, you're on the ground floor. I think it will make someone quite content.
I surprise myself when I say that I like it, I really like it. It's not even micro, it's almost a microscopic apartment. Layout: - the lower part is the living room/workroom (big words with such dimensions, but it can be solved if you don't have huge needs: a monitor TV of a suitable size would be just enough on the wall above a desk with storage, and there can be cabinets on the wall above the whole thing, and a comfortable armchair or recliner, floor chair opposite the whole) - loft: bedroom. A comfortable mattress can fit upstairs, and there would be room for at least 1, maybe even 2 chest of drawers, which is a relatively good storage option together with the open cupboard next to the kitchenette. It's a blessing that they didn't try to fit a giant refrigerator and a washing machine into such a small space. The free use of the laundry room is cool, and the tiny mini-bar fridge is just enough for one person in such a large space. Ideas: ua-cam.com/video/dDSZ7-nJGCI/v-deo.htmlsi=U-ysJetGhTZSEBNt ua-cam.com/video/BUaWQHzM-Qc/v-deo.htmlsi=JhmjyPeWzRNZjCeb ua-cam.com/video/eoSMunFuMfw/v-deo.htmlsi=HMJkBfpHKHRa3vb3 ua-cam.com/video/qt3LdFhif7g/v-deo.htmlsi=QAXgD65FO5ApiDCT ua-cam.com/video/9Ogyunbq1WM/v-deo.htmlsi=S6R-snRl7Y1cmEFi But! The foldable boxes can also be placed on their sides, stacked on top of each other, and the open cabinet is ready. :D
I like this little apartment. I’d put a tatami in the loft and sleep on a futon up there. On the main level, I’d have comfortable seating for at least 2 people. Drapes over those ugly windows. The price is good and the location isn’t bad.
I think it's a really nice apartment, compared to some of the others you viewed. If I was a lot younger I'd have my bed in the loft . Now I'd sleep downstairs and use loft as a storage space and have a desk and chair up there too .😊
Very nice! I especially like the loft. I've been wondering... Are loft spaces included in the square footage? And, I have a request... Would it be possible for you to include the loft height in your description? Thank you so much for these wonderful tours of micro and small apartments. I am very impressed with the ingenuity of the designs!
I have been enjoying your tours. I'm never going to live in Japan or in a tiny apartment/home, but I really like seeing these creative small spaces and imagining how I would arrange things if I lived there. Also, I had the pleasure of visiting Tokyo once for work several years ago, and I would love to visit again someday. It was a wonderful experience.
Definitely a nice layout for a micro apartment. I would probably fit a bed and a tiny computer desk and chair downstairs and all my books and videos upstairs. I have a lot of books and videos. 😊
Honestly I could never imagine living in this small space. I could live in a tiny trailer with wide open outside but not this one. However if I had to, I would put a couch/bed downstairs, use rods in places to add to storage and I would devise a desk of some sort to go over the two railing on the loft so I could hang my feet through the longer railing and work on that desk. I would put my supplies in neat containers with drawers up there and make miniature things or artwork. I would have a lap top to use up or down. I would hang miniature artwork and items on the wall, Nevertheless this would be a challenge for me to live here.
Haven't seen under floor storage in a while. Neat, and some serious toilet paper storage! The second layout seems like it would have to do for me, but hey, free laundry, and the price isn't bad!
Wow that one looks super cozy for a single person. I'd put a comfy armchair in the left corner, set a nice table to eat (and to prep food), which would also fit as a work desk and next to the ladder I'd put storage, adding that all up with a beamer and screen that you could roll up if not needed. This way you'd actually use it as a living area for movie nights or reading books. It'd be a lovely small nook to chill out. The loft will propably fit an ordinary matress and where the small lamp is, there's also room for storage to put up. A very cute flat for people who'd never have guests over either way. I mean, I live on 60sqm and still have no guests around (and don't want to) though I could have. The only downside is, that you can't have pets there (maybe a small fish tank which isn't actually good for the fish).
You have such a calm and measured life, and so many subscribers-that’s amazing! I really enjoy this style of videos; they’re so calming. I haven’t learned how to make something like this yet, but you’re doing it brilliantly!
I actually like this one a lot although I wouldn't be able to get all the way into the loft. I could go up that ladder maybe halfway and use my old lady grabbing pole to manage some storage up there. 😁
I really like this one. Very functional for such a compact space and the loft is nicely finished with the wood panels. I would use the loft space as a sleeping area and put a small futon and TV unit or desk in the downstairs space.
I would place a futon in the Loft area, lots of cushions, a rack with some containers for clothing and bedding, downstairs a table to sit and eat, work and food prep. As small rolling rack to place a toaster oven, microwave, electric kettle.
The rental price is reasonable for the amenities provided and the layout is pretty good. My only concern is that the ladder doesn’t look like it is secured to the loft and sounded a bit shaky. Overall very nice.
It’s really small, but cozy. For one person, for student it’s not bad. Laundry room -it’s very nice!!! You don’t need a bed for super bedroom at the loft space)
I smiled at the pan up the wall behind the toilet. TP storage! 🎉 With the loft ladder, it wouldn’t be for Usui, but it otherwise seems really nice. Having the laundry room in the building basement is good. Still gotta get dressed to do your laundry though! 😂 Overall it seems like a good deal for someone!
I like this one. I would put my bed in the loft and also use some of the space for storage. I would put some kind of shelving unit under the air conditioner and a comfortable chair and table in the lower living space. I think it would be possible to have some type of folding table to use as needed. It’s also bright enough for some plants! 🪴 I like the free communal laundry room

@@marchall5173 it seems that the space is designed only for as rent or leasing,
would be nice to see the 68,000 yen per month in relation, how much have a student, a worker or average one to work for it...
May I know how much it cost for this small aparment? Thank you!
Honestly, I really like this one! It's compact, the free laundry room is great, the bed could go downstairs and upstairs can be a cute little relaxation spot... and the price isn't bad either, considering how new it is.
I agree. This is one of my favourites.
Totalmente de acuerdo
Αν εμενα στην χωρα σας θα το διαλεγα γιατι οχι.Τα μικρα σπιτια μου αρεσουν πιο πολυ απο τα μεγαλα.Καθαριζετε και ευκολα κιολας
All these tiny places are horrid; the ladders in them would make living in them very tiring.
If it had a small elevator….
I don't know what it is with me lately, but I am very intrigued with how people are able to cram so much into a tiny living space and make the most of it, from micro campers, to van-sized RVs, and now I've stumbled my way here. Nice work on the video, Usui.
I like this one, good toilet space with toilet paper storage and no glass door. The small fridge is a nice bonus. There’s plenty of light so it doesn’t feel like living in a cell.

It reminds me of a dormitory suite. That is the cleanest under floor storage I've seen so far. There are some that look like the entry to a deep dark passage. Finally toilet paper storage! The first you've shown with a laundry room. The jazz music is a nice added touch to the video. 😊
I think idea of communal laundry just for renters of this specific apartment is great! Reasonable apartment for students and minimalist loners...
Every apartment building I've ever lived in had one. I guess it's a luxury for Japan. ?
believe me it sucks
Added revenue for the owner, rent the space, make the renters use ur laundry equipment, hah, genius
I like that someone has clearly thought about the design of this apartment & the needs of the person living there.
This is one of the nicest ones we’ve seen. I think the free communal laundry area is very smart. It is designed well and doesn’t look old or compromised in any way. While the loft is still up a very steep ladder, it is done well for what it is. I also love the privacy “wall” between the street and the lower half of the bottom window.
Yes, I would be fine if I could change the step ladder to one less steep and with a handrail. You can get ones that fold up against the wall these days.
This flat is perfect, beautiful finishes, real doors, even a toilet paper cupboard, luxury. Beautiful loft where I would definitely put the bed and television, in the living room table, chair, an armchair. Finally the communal laundry, another luxury. Also perfect in price.

I'm so happy you're still showing us micro apartments! I like this apartment. I still think your apartment is the best but this is a good one. I would sleep on the main level and use the loft for living/office.
I'd personally place a folding bed, a work desk/dining & chair on the main floor, and stash away all the storage boxes, clothes and other non daily items up in the loft and use it as a guest space when needed.
I agree, I am afraid of heights so the loft would make me very uncomfortable because the safety rails don’t feel safe! (I am not saying they aren’t safe just that they don’t feel safe to me). So I would store stuff up there and have a chair bed downstairs ❤
Thank you for sharing 🙏
I like it. But this kind of setup is better for bodies under 60. It could be dangerous to go up and down the ladder. Really nice and has all amenities. One could literally just bring a few pieces of furniture and clothes, and be ready to just have a space for resting and spend the rest of the time out. Young people does that. As one gets older, one spends more time at home. Price is good too.
Looking forward to our next video 🍀
I really like this one☺️ I would put mattress upstairs and a comfy armchair and tv and table/desk downstairs. Pretty street outside, too…could leave the window open for view and ventilation no problem!
Dieses Micro-Appartement gefällt mir eigentlich ganz gut. 👍Hat alles was man braucht und ist vom Preis auch noch okay.😊 Danke fürs zeigen🙏
I'm a little surprised but I quite like this one. The price is reasonable and the centre city is not far away. I was laughing toward the end because I thought "Usui has forgotten that there is nowhere for the washing machine" but of course he hadn't. That was an excellent facility in the basement. There are 2 things I would change. First I would like the ladder hand rails to go higher at the top of the ladder. This would make it easier to turn and start descending the ladder. Second, I would like the loft railing a little higher to offer more security. I am afraid of heights. I would score this one 6.5/10. Thank you so much.
This is definitely livable. A little small for me, but everything is well placed, no weird angles or awkward spots where nothing fits right. Like the under floor storage. you don’t see that often in these micro apartments, so it’s a nice touch.
The laundry room looks really nice (much better than the laundry rooms of places I’ve lived in before).
Quite a nice little apartment.
I love this micro apartment! It has everything you were looking for. It's a little more than you're paying now but I think it'd be worth it. I would put the bed in the loft and the living space downstairs.
The loft looks very bright and airy. It's not small and claustrophobic like some lofts we've seen. I like the little cupboard in the bathroom. Not just for toilet paper, but also for other things you might want to store there, like cleaning supplies.
Overall, it is cute and cozy. I don't know if a micro apartment would be for me. But this is one of the nicer ones
I'd definitely use the loft space for extra storage because the rest of the apartment is big enough for my needs. I really like this one. 😊
This micro apartment seems to have been designed better than most of the others we have seen. It made sense where things were, the loft was big enough for a bed or computer/TV room or storage, but probably not all three. The laundry room meant not needing to allow space for a washer. I would not choose it without seeing a model with furniture because it looks good empty, but when I think about it, it is equivalent to putting everything in a space some US homes would use for a walk-in closet in the master bedroom (but not in my house).
If you're single or your family is in other city, it's actually a very good sized and designed. I'd definitely use the main floor as work/lounge/nap area with convertible table(s), a sofabed and chairs, the mezzanine as sleep and storage area
I like this one a lot compared to most. Free laundry is a huge plus! And while the apartment is very small, it is thoughtfully laid out and has nicer finishes. Price is good, too.
That’s a nice and simple apartment. I would probably put a futon at the loft space and a tv. Then the downstairs would be where I would put a desk and chair and maybe a bean bag/lazy chair.
Wow micro apartment journey is back ❤😍
This place would suit me well. I like the rent, natural light, fridge, laundry and water heater. The toilet paper situation is nothing short of five star!
I would have loved to live in something like that in my college days.
The small section of the loft where the outlet is. Place a entertained stand there with TV and Xbox or switch or both.
Put a futon bed up there and use the bed like a couch to play games.
You can then put a big fridge downstairs. A table and two chairs for eating.
Possibly even a computer desk, with a high end computer.
Thanks for your comment!🥰
I prefer the Nintendo Switch!
I think that's a nice place. Was a little sad to see there's a basement laundry Instead of in the apartment but if the use of laundry machines is free that doesn't suck. Almost as good. Especially if the apartment is on the ground floor. The apartment looks new and I like the finishes. The underfloor storage is cool 😎, all around the storage is decent. The placement of the ladder to the loft is perfect. The loft seems small though and that attractive metal railing looks like a trip hazard. I wouldn't want to sleep up there and fling over the side in the the muddled morning. I think the rent is okay.
Thank you for showing this place. It's better than many micro apartments.
I like this one a lot. It's got everything you need. It would be nice if the living space was a bit bigger but it's doable. I'd put the bed in the loft and put a love seat in the corner with a fold out table you could use as a desk or dining table. Having the laundry downstairs is brilliant. It allows more space in the apartment. The rent is really reasonable.
Hi Usui😊
I love your videos.😍
I am a Hungarian from Finland but my big dream is one day to travel to Japan.
I really like this micro apartment and I love the loft part.🥰
It's so private.
When I was a child I had my bed in the room's loft part.
For example if you have some guests they won't see your private area with your bed.
And at the down part...you can even have a little IKEA flap table with chair.
The table one part can be working table and the other part is where you can eat and the TV could be maybe on the wall.
But the best things are the fridge, the WC paper storage and that the WC door is not transparent.🎊
Thanks for your comment!
I hope you will visit Japan!🥰🇯🇵
Oh, I like this one! I own a reasonably comfortable sleeper chair, and I think that would work out great in this space. Sleeper chair and small table with a small dining chair downstairs. Use the loft for storage and a media room. Back when I was in an apartment where I used the communal laundry room, I loved it. There were always a stack of paperbacks on the table, so I would just sit down there and read while waiting for my laundry. I always thought it was charming that there was an unofficial library down there.
The unofficial library is a nice place!🥳📕
Hi Usui! Nice micro. The loft isn’t bad. The footage and space distribution of this one offers good alternatives to arrange the furniture. The laundry area looks well designed and clean. First floor is a two thumbs up.
If I had to have a loft in my apartment, this one would be a good choice. I would put my bed in the loft, with clothes storage in the smaller corner. I would place a comfortable chair on the opposite wall to the kitchenette. Directly across, I would place a desk and a TV. The location seems nice too. Thank for sharing Usui-san.
Honestly i like this one, the light wood color, layout, the loft layout and color, very cosy. I could use both as a sleeping area, meditating area,zen area, music area,study area, and it is free laundry. And the rental price is reasonable. Cool. I really must give a 👍 Clean, nice and cosy.❤❤❤6 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😊
I am loving this micro-apartment 🙂! It has a lot of potential - you can have the bed in the loft area or on the main floor. I personally see the loft being used as the sleeping area and the main floor as a spot for a TV, small armchair, and small study/work desk! The laundry facility works just perfectly and allows the whole floor space to be utilized! Great showing, thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for your comment!
I would only consider living there if the view out the window was spectacular, say Mt. Fuji.
I love this place! I'd definitely put a bed up in the loft, with the wooden finish it seems really cozy. The living area is big enough for a desk and some storage, and otherwise everything's there. The rent is very reasonable, too. This is a great find.
A communal laundry room in a rental apartment building?! Wow! What a novel concept! Sorry for being facetious; but a lot of apartment buildings in the US have them where the apartments are much bigger. When I lived in Boston for instance, I lived in an 800 sq ft apartment and the shared laundry room was down the hall. I just don’t understand why everyone seems to want to take up precious space in these micro apartments with these tiny drum washing machines which you probably can’t even wash bedsheets in. I like a lot about this micro apt; it’s cleverly thought out. The extra food storage in the floor is great. I like that the loft has railings. I’m not super afraid of heights but would probably also want the bed downstairs and use the upstairs for TV/computer use and some storage. I think I’d also maybe place a little bigger (about waist height) refrigerator downstairs with a microwave placed on top of it.
Never had a free one...
@@vikkischaffer2301 No, I agree that’s even nicer. But even having to pay a little a load (These days, they take cards so you don’t even need to collect coins most of the time. And the cost is probably at least the same as the water bill for home laundry would be.) is better than taking up space in a less than 200 square foot apt with a nearly useless tiny drum washer.
I would comfortably live in this space. It does not give you a claustrophobic feel given the size of it. The space provides you with the very basic things you would need to feel comfortable and live a minimilastic life. I believe 2 simple individuals can share this space. Awesome space and layout!
Very well thought out for storage and separation of space. Nicely designed
I would use the loft for all my clothes, shoes, bags. And the main floor for a cosy bed (storage space underneath), a small desk, a comfortable armchair, small floor-to-ceiling shelving systems (for my books, dishes, cosmetics) and a big flatscreen
I envision using the loft as a bedroom, with a cozy loveseat by the ladder and a multi-functional desk directly across from the loveseat, that doubles as an entertainment center.
Wow, that's one of the nicest places we've seen!! Love it!! I'm not huge on black and white, but this place is just too cute, and on ground floor, with own laundry room!!
I'd put a small bed and a big tv in the loft. Can watch movies in seclusion and then go to sleep. A desk and a breakfast table in the lower part.
A breakfast table is a great idea!🥰🍳
The free laundry room is an amazing amenity
I like this place. Loft is good for storage. Downstair: armchair bed and desk with chair. Laundry room is very convenient. Thank you to continue with this format, I like it very much💜
Thanks for your comment!🥰
I will continue to explore micro apartments in Tokyo.
This one is great, compact like urs. It also has paper storage and fridge (u dont need buy the portable one and can eat ur favorite ice cream everyday) Washing machine can be placed behind the ladder. It also has storage for ur clothes. Ur table and bed can be placed beside window
Thanks for your comment!
I love ice cream too.🍨😋
It's too cramped for me, and with my bad knees, I could never handle the climb to the loft, but in spite of those problems, it's a really nice micro apartment. I have looked at thousands of floorplans over several decades, and this is the first time one made me burst out laughing. It happened when you showed off the cabinet over the toilet, like it was the best feature in the whole apartment.😂
This apartment looks very nice. The floorplan is good and the bathroom is sufficient.
I would put the bed in the loft and a desk in the living space.
Thanks for your comment!
I also want to put a desk in the living space.🥰
so thoughtful that they have storage boxes and the roll screen going up slowly is so satisfying. combined entrance to toilet and shower is also a plus. and cute light upstairs. laundry in basement is really cool and means nore space in the apartment!
economical, compact, functional, practical. for one person it is super ok.
i LOVE everything about this apartment. there's even a common laundry room for free! I'd definitely put the office downstairs and a mattress in the loft, since i work from home and I'd need my desk to be easily accessible. I'd go and live there rn if i could. nice video. ❤
Been waiting for a new video😊
Wish I started watching your videos before we went to Japan earlier this year. We didn’t know about the water heater panels on the wall so we took cool baths the whole trip 😂😅
😅🚿
That loft is nicer than a lot of the ones that you’ve shown on your channel. I wish the ladder was real stairs with storage built in like I’ve seen on some other loft spaces.
Thanks for your comment!
I also like the ladder in this room.🥰🪜
A good, easy to use space. No weird shapes, good layout, interesting rent. I like it!
This is my favorite yet. It looks ideal, the neighborhood and facilities are perfect!
I like that. One little thing -- no needs in floor lighting in the second floor. You can use wall or ceiling lighting instead
Hello Usui! I think this. micro apartment is one of the best you've shown t'ill now. I think it may become a very confortable space. Thank you for sharing!
This one is quite nice. You could fit a desk, small wardrobe and a comfy armchair on the main floor and a futon in the loft.
This one has a good layout, and makes sense for comfortable living. I would sleep in the loft, and use the lower area for work/dining with a table for dining to double as a desk, and a small couch for relaxing.
This is a very nice apartment, it’s clean and new looking. The building looks nice, as does the area. I think I’d have a sofa bed downstairs and use the loft for storage. The laundry room makes more sense to me than taking up space in the apartment with a washing machine. It needs more prep space for cooking though. On the whole, I’d give it a 9/10.
I think that is one of the nicest micro apartment I have seen! I like the kitchenette, the bathroom (no soggy toilet paper ,good storage) loved the loft and iam just fiine with the laundry I can use for free!!! ❤😊😊
I actually like this unit especially because of the sleeping loft. You can fit a double size sofa bed in the niche which shares the wall of the bathroom and the TV / bookcase. Have a small rectangular coffee table that is adjustable to desk or dining table height along with 2-4 folding chairs.
I’d take advantage of that lovely white wall in the lot and buy a projector! No need to worry about in a television taking up space that way. I’d probably do a futon on the ground floor.
I quite like this one. Despite living in a large house with other people, living here by myself seems luxurious. It has everything I need and that's it. I'd like to put my bed in the loft, but I'm quite tall (6'2"/186cm) and I'm not sure I'd be able to fit up there. It's so clean here!
I like a lot of things about this one! I would do what you did initially, and put the bed downstairs and entertainment furniture in the loft, so that I wouldn't put off going to bed because I was too tired to climb the ladder. 😅 But the laundry room would be a deal-breaker, if it can only be accessed by stairs.
La buanderie n'est pas gratuite, je pense qu'elle est incluse dans le loyer. Micro appartement agréable, avec des possibilités d'aménagement , peut disposer d'un canapé lit. Merci pour le partage. ❤️
The ladder looks sturdy. I would have a thick padded bed in the loft. And the living space could have a cozy chair with tv and rolling table.
Thanks for your comment!
I like the rolling table!🥰
I think this is the nicest one I’ve seen! Very liveable! The laundry room is beautiful!
Wow, I really love this apartment. Especially the free laundry area and toilet paper storage!! ❤
This is not bad, Usui! Would definitely make the loft a sleeping area, to give it more privacy and separation. The apt has very clever storage, and the communal laundry is a good use of public space. It’s amazing how you hold our interest with micro apt after micro apt! And while other vlogs have cats and dogs, you have Spidey.
Not bad considering the odd floor storage. The nice communal basement laundry room at least is free! The price is right and the neighborhood is beautiful!! The space isn't long and narrow, the loft is not too cramped and even better, you're on the ground floor. I think it will make someone quite content.
I like this one!
I surprise myself when I say that I like it, I really like it. It's not even micro, it's almost a microscopic apartment.
Layout:
- the lower part is the living room/workroom (big words with such dimensions, but it can be solved if you don't have huge needs: a monitor TV of a suitable size would be just enough on the wall above a desk with storage, and there can be cabinets on the wall above the whole thing, and a comfortable armchair or recliner, floor chair opposite the whole)
- loft: bedroom. A comfortable mattress can fit upstairs, and there would be room for at least 1, maybe even 2 chest of drawers, which is a relatively good storage option together with the open cupboard next to the kitchenette.
It's a blessing that they didn't try to fit a giant refrigerator and a washing machine into such a small space. The free use of the laundry room is cool, and the tiny mini-bar fridge is just enough for one person in such a large space.

But! The foldable boxes can also be placed on their sides, stacked on top of each other, and the open cabinet is ready. :D
I like this little apartment. I’d put a tatami in the loft and sleep on a futon up there. On the main level, I’d have comfortable seating for at least 2 people. Drapes over those ugly windows. The price is good and the location isn’t bad.
I think it's a really nice apartment, compared to some of the others you viewed. If I was a lot younger I'd have my bed in the loft . Now I'd sleep downstairs and use loft as a storage space and have a desk and chair up there too .😊
Very nice! I especially like the loft. I've been wondering... Are loft spaces included in the square footage? And, I have a request... Would it be possible for you to include the loft height in your description? Thank you so much for these wonderful tours of micro and small apartments. I am very impressed with the ingenuity of the designs!
I have been enjoying your tours. I'm never going to live in Japan or in a tiny apartment/home, but I really like seeing these creative small spaces and imagining how I would arrange things if I lived there. Also, I had the pleasure of visiting Tokyo once for work several years ago, and I would love to visit again someday. It was a wonderful experience.
Thanks for your comment!
I hope you will visit Tokyo.🥰🇯🇵
Definitely a nice layout for a micro apartment. I would probably fit a bed and a tiny computer desk and chair downstairs and all my books and videos upstairs. I have a lot of books and videos. 😊
I really like this little apartment. That laundry room is the nicest I've ever seen. ☺
Honestly I could never imagine living in this small space. I could live in a tiny trailer with wide open outside but not this one. However if I had to, I would put a couch/bed downstairs, use rods in places to add to storage and I would devise a desk of some sort to go over the two railing on the loft so I could hang my feet through the longer railing and work on that desk. I would put my supplies in neat containers with drawers up there and make miniature things or artwork. I would have a lap top to use up or down. I would hang miniature artwork and items on the wall, Nevertheless this would be a challenge for me to live here.
Haven't seen under floor storage in a while. Neat, and some serious toilet paper storage! The second layout seems like it would have to do for me, but hey, free laundry, and the price isn't bad!
Wow that one looks super cozy for a single person. I'd put a comfy armchair in the left corner, set a nice table to eat (and to prep food), which would also fit as a work desk and next to the ladder I'd put storage, adding that all up with a beamer and screen that you could roll up if not needed. This way you'd actually use it as a living area for movie nights or reading books. It'd be a lovely small nook to chill out. The loft will propably fit an ordinary matress and where the small lamp is, there's also room for storage to put up. A very cute flat for people who'd never have guests over either way. I mean, I live on 60sqm and still have no guests around (and don't want to) though I could have.
The only downside is, that you can't have pets there (maybe a small fish tank which isn't actually good for the fish).
This tiny micro apartment is perfect,tidy everything is on place , enough storage for one person!💯✌️
It's honestly really cute. I'd put a tatami mat upstairs and a futon which I could hang over the railing to air out during the day.
You have such a calm and measured life, and so many subscribers-that’s amazing! I really enjoy this style of videos; they’re so calming. I haven’t learned how to make something like this yet, but you’re doing it brilliantly!
I like the idea of this apartment. Free laundry, good light. But that ladder. 😳
I actually like this one a lot although I wouldn't be able to get all the way into the loft. I could go up that ladder maybe halfway and use my old lady grabbing pole to manage some storage up there. 😁
Old lady grabbing pole to manage some storage!!!🪜😅
@@usui503 - Right? 😆
Of course I call it that because I'm an old lady, not because it's used to grab old ladies. 🤣🤣🤣
I really like this one. Very functional for such a compact space and the loft is nicely finished with the wood panels. I would use the loft space as a sleeping area and put a small futon and TV unit or desk in the downstairs space.
I would place a futon in the Loft area, lots of cushions, a rack with some containers for clothing and bedding, downstairs a table to sit and eat, work and food prep. As small rolling rack to place a toaster oven, microwave, electric kettle.
The rental price is reasonable for the amenities provided and the layout is pretty good. My only concern is that the ladder doesn’t look like it is secured to the loft and sounded a bit shaky. Overall very nice.
It’s really small, but cozy. For one person, for student it’s not bad. Laundry room -it’s very nice!!! You don’t need a bed for super bedroom at the loft space)
Loft space is of course for a bed, would be a problem if you frequently visited the bathroom at night...😊
I smiled at the pan up the wall behind the toilet. TP storage! 🎉 With the loft ladder, it wouldn’t be for Usui, but it otherwise seems really nice. Having the laundry room in the building basement is good. Still gotta get dressed to do your laundry though! 😂 Overall it seems like a good deal for someone!
I like this one. I would put my bed in the loft and also use some of the space for storage. I would put some kind of shelving unit under the air conditioner and a comfortable chair and table in the lower living space. I think it would be possible to have some type of folding table to use as needed. It’s also bright enough for some plants! 🪴 I like the free communal laundry room
