There are many size of apartments in Japan. I guess you saw Japanese apartments were for single or couple. There are many apartments for family, these are bigger and have many rooms.
I really like the idea of a shoe closet, instead of the lineup of shoes by my apartment door. It's very nice & spacious, larger than a couple of the apartments I've lived in when I lived in Chicago.
I was under the impression that apartments in Japan were small but hat's a pretty big apartment. I like that there's so many doors that closes off each room.
Wow, all of you must be rich, lol. I have never lived in an apartment with windows in crazy. This obsession with wanting Windows everywhere is insane. Windows in the kitchen. Window in the bathrooms. Windows on the ceiling. What's next? Windows in the damn CLOSET? All of you are spoiled, lol.
@@Kevin-sm8pn My aunt is an architect, and she says windows in bedrooms, but specially in kitchens and bathrooms are essential for air and moist circulation, and also gas leaks (in the kitchen). It's not only about lighting and much less for the view.
Hey man, I have been watching you for about 3 years now and am realizing how you really have to love your alone time when and if you decide to teach abroad. Great content, keep it coming man.
you must have way to many cat's I got four and could definitly relax chillin in that place kitties better stay of the counters and tables though...wanna move with me Steph?
Ahh Hiroshima!! I was there in April this year (2016). Made it a must to visit the Atomic Bomb Dome and Memorial Museum. It was incredible to see how the Japanese reconstructed their city and rose from the ashes and destruction.
thanks for the update. pretty good sized apartment. I really like the tatami room. at the beginning in your entryway it reminded me of that episode of King of the Hill when they visit Japan and they complain about the size of the hotel room and then right before they leave a Japanese person shows them the sliding door and the rest of their huge hotel room.
I kept the doors closed for the video but normally there's a good deal of light in the apt. This is close to 3 times the size of the studios you will get in Korea. I'm very lucky
I wouldnt call yourself lucky man that apartment is the most Unsterile , homely, windowless looking place i have ever seen. there is no way i could live in that it's nasty.
I enjoyed ur apt tour. I lived in Fussa for 7 1\2 yrs. I left in 1997 but still miss Japan greatly. That apt is bigger & more equipped than any I've been in. Nice place. Enjoy yourself!!
If you don't mind me asking, how much do you pay monthly? This apartment is very spacious and kind of big for being in Japan. I'm guessing $800 or so? Well depending on your key money, right?
Mister Boot I didn't say he was Korean, I wondered why you thought speaking Korean would help get an apartment in Japan. No need to call names, either... I apologize if I came across as rude or ignorant. It was not my intention.
Pretty inspiring to see how you moved from one country to another. I am a european student who is currently in Korea for a year and I hope to follow your example one day.
Just found your channel! :) That's a nice sized apartment you have there :D I lived in Japan for three years and for part of the time had a tatami room too. Love them.
This is very spacious, love it! You should think of getting some wall decals of trees or birds or quotes or something to put on your kitchen walls, to make it look more homey. But I really like the space
Nice digs ! Much, much bigger than the camper/trailer I've been living in for the past 10 years or so. But I'm in Florida, people live in smaller units than I have ! Be interesting to see how you furnish your home ! Thanks for sharing !
your apartment is big. if I were you. I will move my bed room to the tatami room and use the big close to store my matress or get a western bed for the current room.
wow it's interesting. I don't like the disposition as much, but it's indeed very Japanese. I would (as someone said) move the bedroom to the tatami room and I would make the small room where you sleep now a storage room (for clothes, maybe hanging clothes and all). But that's just because I can't imagine sleeping in such a small and dark room. Also some plants and wall decorations would help very much :)
This is actually one of the nicer apartments I've seen (and I'm pretty sure I've watch every Japanese apartment tour video on UA-cam :P ). I would love to find a place like that when I move to Japan. Thanks for sharing!
And this is a good size compared to some I've seen. When I saw he has TWO burners on the stove, I almost applauded him. Makes me feel guilty for not utilising all four on ours.
Sooo many doors! lol Honestly though much larger than all the other Japanese style apartments I've seen! That seems to be suitable for even a small family! Not sure if I missed the details but how much does this style apartment cost monthly?
It really depends on the city and area in that city. This place is cheap because it's in Hiroshima in a slightly removed neighborhood. Also, the school owns the unit so it's a reduced rate from normal market value
The clock... does it say "radio controlled"? If it does it's probably syncing with one of the UHF or VHF time keeping frequencies, like in the US... We have WWV that since a ping tone at the top of each minute. Once you get the batteries into a new clock it sort of looks for specific radio signals and when it finds the right one it will sync with it.
Hey! You're in Japan. I remember viewing many of your blogs while you were in South Korea. Your advice about teaching over seas was very helpful and inspiring. I'm a bit of a coward and decided so far not to get into the program. One day I will. However, it was very good to see you doing your thing. God bless with everything Red Dragon. Plus, wow Hiroshima! How surreal to be there were the hydrogen bomb was dropped...must been emotional that first day; a spirit and soul connection that cannot be explained just experienced...How blessed you are to be able to experience this in your lifetime. Peace be with you and your family. -Ant Valentine
In japan, water closets are for showers and ofuro, and toilets are in their own room, so that part is normal. For the rest, i guess the designers of the apartment just like doors!
Megan Flanagan my understanding is that usually there isn't central heating in most Japanese homes so heating a smaller room is easier than attempting to heat a large space. This was the case in old western homes as well but as AC and stuff became a big deal the trends changed. Don't quote me on it though.
I've noticed that about the toilets over there as well. Having an unusual design where the fresh water pipe comes out over the cistern tank and then pours water in via an open hole into the cistern tank. I'm guessing that plumbing regulations in Japan are stricter and this arrangement is considered more hygienic and reduces risk of contamination of the fresh water supply keeping a greater barrier from the foul water.
It's good to see you are settling in. Seeing you sorting out the trash reminds me of when I first arrived here in Japan and had anxiety about how to put things in the correct places. I currently have 6 garbage cans to deal with all my separate kinds of garbage. I live in the countryside of Kyoto. I have a fairly old house with three tatami rooms but the tatami is pretty old and worn out. Just be on the look out for things like Dani 'tatami mites' since your building is old. One great thing about my house is the washlet. It has the heated seats, which are a saviour in the winter. But there is only one aircon/heater unit so its pretty difficult to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I have been enjoying your videos chronicling your move from Korea to Japan. I have put Hiroshima on my list of places to visit in Japan. Hope you are able to sort out the lights and the judo situation soon.
The countryside (inaka) of Japan has its good points and its bad. Good points include how simply beautiful it is, the people are super friendly and helpful so I have made many friends, my students are mostly sweet and spend their free time riding their bikes, playing baseball and hunting for bugs in the creeks and rivers. Bad points are the copious number of bugs in the summer and the freezing cold in the winter as well as not having many available activities for people who aren't married with kids or elderly. However I am lucky that I live within a 2 hour distance of the metropolitan areas like Kyoto city, Osaka and Kobe.
I am actually looking to get one, but have to go on amazon and order one or go to the big city and find one in costco maybe. I had a bad experience with mukade last week. Was finding one in the house every day. Spiders and the stink bugs I can deal with but mukade are horrible!
meanwhile in Canada: 4 bins - trash, compost/ yardwaste, cardboard, and glass/plastic. Unless you're my crazy a** Granny who just make a big fire pit in the backyard by the garden. Only gets away with it because she lives in a log home on a mountain and her closest neighbor is like 30 - 40 mins down the road XD
I'm curious as to how much you are paying for that apartment in Hiroshima? I'm in Okoyama right now and perhaps will have to move to Hiroshima and was wondering about the rent there. Thx
A built-in fish fryer? Awesome! The apartment does look a bit spartan but it's also nice that there isn't so much clutter...keeps things feeling open and fresh!
I loved this video. It was really interesting for me to see an apartment in Japan, it's so different from apartments in my country. it looks cozy and peaceful.
I'd make the tatami room my bedroom totally, there's space and closet, the another room could be an office or a meditation space :) and with the window like the large room in order to get some light in
I love the apartment, my favorite feature is the Bible :) I like the open space, the bike lot is nice, and the huge kitchen is amazing, particularly because I love to cook. Overall you have a really nice setup.
i love the apartment so much! it's huge and cosy! different from what i've seen before that mostly japanese apartment are so small and confine... nice vid thou!
Private, functional, efficient (minimal) ... but because of the damn flourescent lights, soul-crushingly clinical... I have seen the simple elegance of Japanese architectural styles in the books....but modern reality is so different.... in any case, you must have immense wealth to live in an apartment of that size. Thank you for showing us what's possible on a teacher's salary in Hroshima.
Dude, I had a 3 bedroom apartment in Hiroshima just like that one but obviously slightly larger. Your "living room" and Tatami room are both meant to be used as bedrooms and your kitchen space is designed to be both dining, kitchen and living space together. You are essentially using the storage/coat room as your bedroom.
It's funny that this video popped up in my recommended feed. I've been looking for an apartment in Japan today, since I found a job in Tokyo two weeks ago. The prices are less expensive than I expected. It would be nice to have an extra room for friends from my country that want to stay over. Yours seems nice and spacy for this purpose, so I hope I can find something similar.
sodenoshirayuki69 Despite the catastrophic effects, the amount of nuclear material (plutonium, uranium) in the nuke was very little compared, for example, to the amount in Chernobyl explosion. Here's a link for a better explanation todayifoundout.com
the city was rebuilt entirely since the clean up after the bomb. its very safe and there is very low radiation (about the same that occurs naturally in all major cities). radiation fallout from bombs (to simplify it), kind of works like ash, it settles and it can be cleaned up almost entirely by removing contaminated debris (top soil, concrete etc). so after the explosion all that is there is all that is there, its not going to continue creating more radiation like it would in a meltdown at a nuclear powerplant where the process is on going. many radioactive debris from bombs also have a shorter half life (they decay rapidly, making them less and less dangerous by the day)when compared to a radioactive substances found in a reactor.
20009Erika I live in France, the average size of a house/apartment is (way) smaller than in America (if it's where you live), and it's also a matter of tastes and habits too, because I can't stand an empty home and I don't need much more space than my bedroom's, so yeah ^^
eleonora giannetti I think it's because both are european countries ? France and Italy have more or less the same average height, while in Japan people tend to be smaller, or in America taller (like, I'm average height in Europe, but I'd be considered short/mid-short in America and tall/hella tall in Japan) Each country designs it's apartment based on it's average height, so it's not surprinsing to find people that live in countries where people are taller than in the other country, thinking that the house/apartment is too small, and the same goes in the other way That's also a matter of lifestyle and tastes, there are people that like to move around, need/want space and light, and other people (like me) who enjoy small and/or dark rooms and don't need/want much space (I'm kind of afraid of big rooms, I somewhat find small, dark and fresh rooms reassuring)
That's a pretty big apartment for Japan. It looks like a nice one.
There are many size of apartments in Japan. I guess you saw Japanese apartments were for single or couple. There are many apartments for family, these are bigger and have many rooms.
I guess it's because he's not close to Tokyo maybe
Well TOkyo apartments are super small
The lack of natural light is depressing!!
turowat The first apartment in Japan that I see with lack of sunshine. Does make it pretty depressing...
This apartment is huge for japanese apartments. And very nice and spacies too.
I really like the idea of a shoe closet, instead of the lineup of shoes by my apartment door. It's very nice & spacious, larger than a couple of the apartments I've lived in when I lived in Chicago.
There are so many doors !
ikr, He was showing that and I was like omg this is so confuse
Henrique Pinto it's a maze hehe
Hehe, I'm sorry but I like to call it paper Doors hehehe
Salimah J LIFE HAS MANY DOORS, ED-BOY !
That fisheye distortion makes it hard to judge distance well. An interesting video, though. It's much different in the Philippines.
American Expat In The Philippines yes very annoying
Gave me motion sickness.
I kept forgetting about the fish eye-I thought the last closets had curved doors. lol
I was surprised that the apartment was so spacious. I could live there comfortably!!
I was under the impression that apartments in Japan were small but hat's a pretty big apartment. I like that there's so many doors that closes off each room.
living spaces are generally smaller in Japan. Re:apts for English teachers, this place is huge
Barley any windows, that would kill me especially in the kitchen
Not only that, but there's hardly any barely! That would kill me especially in the kitchen.
just keep the living roomdoor open iguess
Wow, all of you must be rich, lol. I have never lived in an apartment with windows in crazy. This obsession with wanting Windows everywhere is insane. Windows in the kitchen. Window in the bathrooms. Windows on the ceiling. What's next? Windows in the damn CLOSET? All of you are spoiled, lol.

+AVI B thanks so much
+Red Dragon Diaries you look like a giant when your filming
+Red Dragon Diaries scratch that your a giant when you compare the building size
jim bab lol!
Are all the power cables that close to the buildings?
Damn, I could totaly live there.
you could not, you're bed would never dit. and where would you put pickles or your hot tub?
you must have way to many cat's I got four and could definitly relax chillin in that place kitties better stay of the counters and tables though...wanna move with me Steph?
Nathan Explosion me too
Japan is the land of a million sliding doors.
Beautiful, or not?
actually between doors....
ghosts are hidden...... sadakodayo.............. o_O
i actually love sliding doors XD sadly britain rarely has these type off doors except for the gardens.
The land where lead business executives sleep on the floor
Ahh Hiroshima!! I was there in April this year (2016). Made it a must to visit the Atomic Bomb Dome and Memorial Museum. It was incredible to see how the Japanese reconstructed their city and rose from the ashes and destruction.
Watching this video makes you feel like a giant. As an example, the toilet feels like the ones you see in Kindergarten for kids haha
the walls need some color, currently feels little depressing with plain color.
Clauss Osorio and posters or other decorations
The room with the balcony seems ideal for a bed room. Sliding window doors, light, and a breath of fresh air in the morning.
thanks for the update. pretty good sized apartment. I really like the tatami room. at the beginning in your entryway it reminded me of that episode of King of the Hill when they visit Japan and they complain about the size of the hotel room and then right before they leave a Japanese person shows them the sliding door and the rest of their huge hotel room.
+Matthew Milan lol!
Oh cool! You're using the Xiaomi Yi Action cam! I was thinking of buying that, maybe soon. Nice to see some footage of it!
why do u sleep in the storage room when u got a "huge" spare room?
This is your neighbor, stop slamming the door !
dinnerandashow xD
I needed this. I'm building Japanese apartments in the Sims 2.
+Lonelyeco make a red dragon apt building for me
Someone still has Sims 2? That was the best one. I wish I still had it.
A lot of space, especially in comparison to Korean flates I've seen videos on. But what surprised me is that it's quite dark:(
I kept the doors closed for the video but normally there's a good deal of light in the apt. This is close to 3 times the size of the studios you will get in Korea. I'm very lucky
I wouldnt call yourself lucky man that apartment is the most Unsterile , homely, windowless looking place i have ever seen. there is no way i could live in that it's nasty.
***** hater lol!
Red Dragon Diaries Good One!!! LOL
I like it but what is a tatami room for in general? Meditation maybe.
This apartment has the biggest bathroom I've seen so far. Also, kudos for using a fisheye lens.
I enjoyed ur apt tour. I lived in Fussa for 7 1\2 yrs. I left in 1997 but still miss Japan greatly. That apt is bigger & more equipped than any I've been in. Nice place. Enjoy yourself!!

Definitely a Japanese thing. Maybe it's done in Korea also?
that place looks like the bomb
ba dum, tsss
you monster's lol

lmao you piece of shit
isis dream house
The new place has a lot of charm. I love it! I am very excited for you.
Wow! Your apartment is huge! I was really surprised!
Very nice. I'm so envious of you being able to totally immerse yourself in a new culture. Good luck. I love your videos.
+Anthony Ubelhor (Trailwalker) Thanks so much
You have one of the nicer apartments I've seen on UA-cam! How much do you pay for it if you don't mind my asking?
I'll join this question :)
Mister Boot if that's true, that's awesome. half of most peoples money goes to rent.
Why would Korean help him in this case?
Mister Boot You realize he's in Japan here, right? They don't speak Korean in Japan... it's a different country.
Mister Boot I didn't say he was Korean, I wondered why you thought speaking Korean would help get an apartment in Japan. No need to call names, either... I apologize if I came across as rude or ignorant. It was not my intention.
Thank you for taking the time to show US around.
thanks for watching and commenting!
The room you have your bedroom in is meant to be a closet, or a child's room maybe. The tatami room is supposed to be the main bedroom.
Pretty inspiring to see how you moved from one country to another.
I am a european student who is currently in Korea for a year and I hope to follow your example one day.
really enjoyed this, thanks for posting 😀😎💪
Just found your channel! :) That's a nice sized apartment you have there :D I lived in Japan for three years and for part of the time had a tatami room too. Love them.
+True Mexico Awesome! Yes, I really like the vibe the tatami room gives the apartment.
my gosh your flat is huge ! How much are you paying for this?
これは何?いちご 1LDK so probably a lot! He just have a good job or a roommate...lol
This is very spacious, love it! You should think of getting some wall decals of trees or birds or quotes or something to put on your kitchen walls, to make it look more homey. But I really like the space
Needs a woman's touch. :-) Or a cat or an orchid or something.
you let a woman in, and that's the end of his peacefulness.

Depends on the woman.
Nice digs ! Much, much bigger than the camper/trailer I've been living in for the past 10 years or so. But I'm in Florida, people live in smaller units than I have !
Be interesting to see how you furnish your home !
Thanks for sharing !
I think your setup is wrong, you should use tatami room as your bed room.. Lol
Maybe he doesnt like tatami smell? Not everyone likes it i heard
if i was him, i will use that "livin room" as my bed room and make the kitchen as a guest room.
David I thought the same thing lol
That's what I thought too! I would totally make that my room!
I was thinking leave all the doors open so you dont feel traped or inclosed u have 3 other rooms to sleep in my man not the closet
Thank you for this peek into a Japanese apartment. It seems very nice. Very different than the apts here in Wisconsin. It has GREAT potential!
I am kinda getting prison vibes from this apartment, but hey maybe I've just been watching too much OITNB
When he showed the kitchen the first thing I thought was "where are the windows?"
You want prison? look at a Leo apartments room. Those bastards are SMALL.
When I studied in Nagoya I had a tatami room as my bedroom and slept on a futon. loved that room and I prefer futon over a bed
your apartment is big. if I were you. I will move my bed room to the tatami room and use the big close to store my matress or get a western bed for the current room.
I've since moved my futon into the tatami room. I just use earplugs now for the noise from the street
@@Reddragondiaries get some foam and cut it to the size of the window will cancel the noise and light good for the summer to keep room cool for AC
I had a house with a small yard and garage in Yokosuka. Loved it!
wow it's interesting. I don't like the disposition as much, but it's indeed very Japanese. I would (as someone said) move the bedroom to the tatami room and I would make the small room where you sleep now a storage room (for clothes, maybe hanging clothes and all).

Actually it's a really big room for 1 person to live in Japan.........
This is actually one of the nicer apartments I've seen (and I'm pretty sure I've watch every Japanese apartment tour video on UA-cam :P ). I would love to find a place like that when I move to Japan. Thanks for sharing!
+Meggie Kay A lot depends on the city and location. Hiroshima is much cheaper than Tokyo.
We don't realize just how large we live until we watch accommodations to this scale.
that's a very good point
And this is a good size compared to some I've seen. When I saw he has TWO burners on the stove, I almost applauded him. Makes me feel guilty for not utilising all four on ours.
I just love Japan ,ur language,ur cleanliness vry kind people ,hard working thank u sir fr sharing this video
I like your house. It´s really nice.
+gualdacolorao Thank you!
looks kind of fun. I like how it compartmentalizes the room, although I might get kind of tired of it after a while.

I love this place!! It's perfect for me! Getting a place with separate rooms gives you privacy (in my perspective).
Like.. 3 windows for the whole apartment? I couldn't live there
Your apartment is spacious! I'm so inspired to live more minimally. Nice to see you settling in 😀

It's a nice appartment, but to me it doesn't look like someone actually lives there...
not everyone lives like a animal
have you ever started moving into a place? thats kinda what it looks like
Great series of videos. Thanks.
How tall are you?
yow that apartment is perfectly for me . especially when you're a gamer that doesn't go outside and like a dark place . i love it
I'm curious as to how much you are paying for that apartment in Hiroshima? I'm in Okoyama right now and perhaps will have to move to Hiroshima and was wondering about the rent there. Thx
My situation is very unique. My school owns the school so I pay a reduced rate. I don't know the market value for a place like this
Red Dragon Diaries Oh ok. I've been trying to get some infos before moving there and till now can't much about it :(
10:14 ... There's a bit of head-dirt grim on the wall there on the left of the bed, looks bad !
Cost?
A built-in fish fryer? Awesome!
The apartment does look a bit spartan but it's also nice that there isn't so much clutter...keeps things feeling open and fresh!
when you showed me the bedroom, all i could think about is ... how the hell does a tall guy like you sleep in a small place like that.
It's more than big enough for me. The camera lens made it look that way. I now sleep in the tatami room anyway

quite big to me..I think it's expensive?
the bedroom look kinda scary...

I sleep in the tatami room now
+Red Dragon Diaries isn't a tatami room for sleeping? what was the other room for ? the one next to the main door .
Very nice....going there next year...how cold does it get there??

i love the apartment so much! it's huge and cosy!
different from what i've seen before that mostly japanese apartment are so small and confine...
nice vid thou!
very different from scandinavian homes..
Same with Irish. I wish it have more windows :(
Private, functional, efficient (minimal) ... but because of the damn flourescent lights, soul-crushingly clinical... I have seen the simple elegance of Japanese architectural styles in the books....but modern reality is so different.... in any case, you must have immense wealth to live in an apartment of that size. Thank you for showing us what's possible on a teacher's salary in Hroshima.
dang! they did not build for tall people did they? lol...you must have a lot of bruises.
+susripathy definitely not lol! The top of my head is all banged up at the moment
Dude, I had a 3 bedroom apartment in Hiroshima just like that one but obviously slightly larger. Your "living room" and Tatami room are both meant to be used as bedrooms and your kitchen space is designed to be both dining, kitchen and living space together. You are essentially using the storage/coat room as your bedroom.
bike storage door, i actually thought it was a castle tower door lol
It looks very nice! Also, I love the soon-to-be vlog room!
How many people committed suicide in the apt?
just you

taipeitaiwan10 oooh potent comeback
It's funny that this video popped up in my recommended feed. I've been looking for an apartment in Japan today, since I found a job in Tokyo two weeks ago. The prices are less expensive than I expected. It would be nice to have an extra room for friends from my country that want to stay over. Yours seems nice and spacy for this purpose, so I hope I can find something similar.
isnt hiroshima nuked??
Yeah, sure... Is a desertic land...
White Crown Everything has been rebuilt. Now it's just a normal safe city.
Laowyn yeah but radiation lasts a very long time
sodenoshirayuki69 Despite the catastrophic effects, the amount of nuclear material (plutonium, uranium) in the nuke was very little compared, for example, to the amount in Chernobyl explosion. Here's a link for a better explanation todayifoundout.com
the city was rebuilt entirely since the clean up after the bomb. its very safe and there is very low radiation (about the same that occurs naturally in all major cities). radiation fallout from bombs (to simplify it), kind of works like ash, it settles and it can be cleaned up almost entirely by removing contaminated debris (top soil, concrete etc). so after the explosion all that is there is all that is there, its not going to continue creating more radiation like it would in a meltdown at a nuclear powerplant where the process is on going. many radioactive debris from bombs also have a shorter half life (they decay rapidly, making them less and less dangerous by the day)when compared to a radioactive substances found in a reactor.
Where are you exactly? What's nearby, how much is rent? What's the area like? Tell us some stuff.
Omg your place is huuge ! (I probably couldn't live alone in an apartment like this one x))
I was thinking the same thing! It's practically a house! Not even a small house! It's pretty epic.
Hero✩Lydragius I'd probably freak out x)
20009Erika I live in France, the average size of a house/apartment is (way) smaller than in America (if it's where you live), and it's also a matter of tastes and habits too, because I can't stand an empty home and I don't need much more space than my bedroom's, so yeah ^^
eleonora giannetti I think it's because both are european countries ? France and Italy have more or less the same average height, while in Japan people tend to be smaller, or in America taller (like, I'm average height in Europe, but I'd be considered short/mid-short in America and tall/hella tall in Japan)
Each country designs it's apartment based on it's average height, so it's not surprinsing to find people that live in countries where people are taller than in the other country, thinking that the house/apartment is too small, and the same goes in the other way
That's also a matter of lifestyle and tastes, there are people that like to move around, need/want space and light, and other people (like me) who enjoy small and/or dark rooms and don't need/want much space (I'm kind of afraid of big rooms, I somewhat find small, dark and fresh rooms reassuring)
Erena Jäger How tall are you? I'm 5'8!
I loooove it! I’m wanting to do a Japanese apartment theme.
it looks like hospital
