Hello people of the internet, I wanted to make a formal apology for not taking off my shoes in my apartment. I'm aware of the rules and culture of where I live, but when I first arrived, I wasn't. It was my first week in Tokyo when I filmed this tour, I was so excited to document my first apartment in Japan, so when preparing for the video, cleaning my space and getting ready, it completely slipped my mind that I didn't need to be wearing shoes in my apartment, as the main reason for me wearing shoes was because it completed my outfit. (lol) It's a really innocent mistake and hope I don't come off in any way as an entitled American. I'm merely trying to share my experiences from my travels. I hope you guys understand and don't get any misconceptions about me as a person! 😓 - Megan
Also, be wary of your landlord seeing this, proof that you kept your shoes indoors can be used to justify not giving you your deposit back for being a dirty tenant. I hope you have a good time in Japan and get to enjoy good food!
UPDATE your video and apologize. and show your fans you corrected everything from storing all your shoes at entrance shelf. dont leave shoes in your living area. and don't drink your cartoon juice directly from it and poor into a cup or a mug. otherwise you look stupid young utuber from low class!
While it's true they relax in the tub as you say, the bathroom is still really small for locals too and it's simply for the space problem. They separate toilet from bathroom in house, but they tend not to when it comes to hotel (inexpensive ones) and some apartments for the small space.
A lot of showers are designed to be used whilst standing up. That’s why they put the holder for the showers up higher. There is actually another shower holder higher up on the other wall that she could stand upright whilst using. Not sure how she didn’t see it.
Their architecture is good? Their walls are really thin. The materials used for them are very flammable. The material used for the floor is very fragile to the point you have to wear slippers because your shoes can damage it.
I wish I can have that. My apartment dont have that view, it faces another tower. Nevertheless, it's less noisy and cool enough from the sun. Not great at day, but still can sleep well.
Really sweet flat! I love that it has a washing machine… that’s pure gold. You don’t have to visit the laundrette and worry if someone is taking too long or won’t share and let you have a washer to use. It’s the little things that make life better 🧡
@@kayaeki 12 for 90 cents is very cheap. but also japan banana is cheap. I am japanese and . here supermarket in Nagoya . banana 4 for 2~3 USD( 200yen ~300 yen).
As somebody who shares an apartment with 4 other people I definitely love my mini fridge. It actually has a lock on it too so no one can steal my lunch. It’s also nice because I keep mine very clean and nice unlike the big one that everyone uses.
I live in a small apartment with my family of 6 (including me) and a cat. I got my own room in the storage. It's a little small but I could make it work 😊
I love the fact that even with a small space you’re so thankful and appreciative of what you’ve got. Super refreshing seeing a small apartment tour in comparison to the expensive big apartment tours most of us can’t relate to, so thank you for this cute video 🧡
That's a classic Ir apartment in Japan, I've been living in such a room for 1 and a half years in Osaka. You might think it's great the first time move into. But after several months, the small space you're living in really gives you strong depressions.
I get that the rent might be cheaper, but i just feel so sad with the space it has, its like a big cage Might be just me tho, but i like a little more space to place furniture and do exercise
Thats y if you dont have a chance to move to bigger house. Try to rearrange furniture/ decorate the house once for every few months. New arrangement will bring new view or new motivations.
It's a good apartment for those who spend most of their time doing field work/ in the office and only need an apartment to sleep and spend the night. It must be relatively cheap so you can save quite some money. But yeah if you spend most of the time inside this especially during the pandemic then it will make you feel claustrophobic and depressed.
Am i the only person who thinks small apartments are much better than spacious apartments because when living in a big apartment makes me think theres someone who is watching me.
Nah trust me, small apartments are only good if you spend most of your time outside and only need a place to sleep, cook food and getting ready for work. They are cheap, easy to maintain and clean but if you spend most of your time inside especially during the pandemic then in few weeks or months it will start giving you a claustrophobic vibe and you will start feeling depressed.
During strawberry season they can go around 400 to 500 jpy, but don't buy the large ones which are meant for gifting, those could go up to 3000jpy. ... in japan you have to keep an eye out for seasons, because different seasons fruits can be cheaper during the correct time of the year. Like peaches are cheap at end of year and then disappear near at the start of spring... you probably already know that after a few months though, so this comment is for people who just moved here.
Wait, isn't it the same in the US too? Do they pay the same price for strawberries on winter? If so, that is so awesome! I can only eat strawberries for like 2 months here in Turkey ;-;
It's so small clean, minimalistic, and neat, It's amazing. I'm so claustrophobic I can't live in a such place I can't live in a space that is less than 120sq meters, my mental health would deteriorate like crazy.
you said you were a real adult because you’re happy of having washing machine in your apartment.the funny thing is the tea you’re holding is called “otona no koucha” which means adults tea😂😂
This is probably one the best mrico appartments I've seen a lot of storage space compared to others and then the fact that you have your own washer is mind blowing
Hi! I'm Japanese and I enjoyed the tour and I could guess you are new to Japan. Don't worry about shoes it looked clean.☺️ The view of the golden hour was amazing!✨
Oh boy, I stayed like two buildings away from this place in an identical apartment while in Tokyo. I remember the bathroom cubical so clearly! Brings back so many nice memories!
This Micro Apartment design really amaze me. It can fit many daily needs from shower, wash machine, bed, cabinet and still have a good view. Not just a sunset but also you
As someone who already lives in a small studio, this made me claustrophobic. For everyone out there saying it’s cute and stuff, yes it might be, the first week or so, but after a while you’ll go crazy.
she also uses the entrance shoe closet to store her clothes! and keep her dirty shoes in the sleeping/ living area..... pretty gross but probably first time in Japan. she looks half Asian, so her parents didn't teach her how things are in Japan. don't drink apple juice from cartoon kid! LOL.
@Aurora ღ you sounds like you live in 3rd world country. many American households remove shoes at the entrances.Koreans, Indonesians, Thai, Canadians, Denmark,Norway, Iceland, Finland,my friends houses in Germany and Netherlands remove their shoes at the entrance specially if the family have small children..... hope you travel overseas and see it with your own eyes. lol
@Stopped In Time what how? My home right now is like this apartment. Just a little bit wider. But as small as this. I'm still at school and have 2 siblings. And my parents and a dog. Literally we can live here just fine. I guess it's just a person. But most homeless people or poor people won't mind a home like this. To say if we didn't live in an apartment. Will be living in a bigger house but it will be very shitty.
@@jadejaguar69 it’s not the apartment, it’s because most people that live in apartments like this live alone or are lonely. Most people, even introverts need human interaction. If I lived in a place like this I probably wouldn’t spend much time at home.
@@misfits12o broo, living at an apartment like this doesn't mean that u won't work, and if you will work you most probably need to interact with people, exceptions are always there
Lived and worked in Tokyo for 5 years. The great thing about smaller apartments is that you only buy what you need. I found that I barely stayed at home in Tokyo. Besides to sleep and the occasional weekend to stay in. I would say during the pandemic the larger western style apartment would be more ideal.
Even it’s small but it has everything one person needs. The bed area is also comfy and Pretty chill. Simple but nicely. You can open the door and sitting at the bancolny , air,wind and chill. Sun shining. I used to live in small room/space/small house without nice air and sun sign it good for your body and not make u depression.
I love the amount of light that enters your apartment, and also your view. I also live in a room apartment and my window sees another apartment in the building next to mine lol. It hasn't this amount of light. Really nice apartment of yours, honestly
Honestly this is the perfect amount of space for me tbh, I'd actually end up with extra space based on how much I own despite being 23. This looks awesome
I'm actually moving out of my tiny appartment in a few months and am really happy about that. I loved the time, where i lived here, but ... i couldn't imagine living any longer in such a small space xx.
I love this! I aspire to live like this someday. I still live with my grandma and there's just so many stuff to clean that I feel like dying. This is just paradise.
omg your english is so understable for me! i'm learning english atm with my lessons and only watch content in english to learn more in my free time! thanks for the videos
Watching from my tiny apartment in Japan as well. Super jealous of your balcony. Never thought I could get used to living in such a small space but it's shockingly comfortable
It's really cute and I love it! But I wish I could decorate it. You need art! You should add shelves in the space above your shoes, and a shelf in your pantry because there's wasted space there. If you're not allowed to drill or attach things to walls, you could use tension rods/shelves, or command strips and products to hang some little shelves. Then it'd be like having more closet space for clothes or dishes and what have you. You could hang art in front of the shelves to hide clutter, or at least put something over your bed, like some Bradon Hoover art or something colorful and abstract. I love how organized the space is, though, and Shibuya is lovely! Great tour! Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤️
I can live with a small wardrobe: I have a minimalist wardrobe before minimalism was in! When you're the one who makes the laundry in a house of 5 peoples, you become minimalist because of laziness.
My first accommodation in the UK also had a "pay to wash" washing machine. Now I'm moving into a house with my friends and we have our own washing machine - SO EXCITED ABOUT IT. YES, when you are excited about a washing machine, you know you're getting old LOL.
Americans don’t have kettles as their grid runs on 120v. It takes too long to boil water in a kettle with such low voltage so they all tend to use stovetop whistle pots. Nine out of ten Americans have no idea what a kettle is
@@wh1te5had0w that’s mad, I use my kettle for boiling water for ramen, tea, coffee (obviously I only heat the water in it and then pour it wherever it need to go). Coffee machines are not popular for single house use in my country at all (they are next level expensive and you can find very cheap, good quality coffee everywhere)
As a New Zealander, this shocked me, I've always called it a "jug" like "I'll go boil the jug" if someone comes over for a hot drink. Use it about 5 times a day and honestly couldn't live without it!
The layout is exactly like my old apartment in Yamato. It was back in 1994 and brand new, yours looks older than that. I had cupboards on both sides of the entry.
I like watching apartment tours as far as layout, storage solutions and how people use the space they have. But I don't really care for it when they list and explain almost every single item they own.
I like it to an extent because that's what gives me a better visual of what they keep where as far as how they utilize the space. Now if someone makes an apartment tour video but spends a quarter of the time showing you say, their make-up collection, then that needs its own video. That's just my opinion and preference.
It's really nice to have this kind of single apartment! I've been looking for places myself recently but all I can find in my city are some 2 or 3 bedroom apartments fot families. So I'd have to share the bathroom and kitchen with strangers. This worries me especially because the last time I shared an apartment with others was kind of a nightmare. Would love to have a place like this.
Not sure if anyone mentioned or if you've figured it out by now, but I see people are mentioning that the "closet" is for shoes, which yes it is, but the side on the left where it's really shallow is for one pair of shoes (1 shoe on each shelf) and then the big narrow area is for your umbrella!!!
Not sure if you'll see this comment but I miss you girl! Looks like your living the life- I also love the Teo's container you have for your vitamins hahaha
Watching these videos over the weekend of people living in small apartments, i have been feeling so guilty of staying alone in a 2 bed flat for 900$ in India. Damn man. I love my life so much
I feel like that this is the amount of space a person actually needs. People build huge houses and apartments and they take up so much space. This is just good
Me before watching it: let me see how small the room is Me after watching it: it's quite normal Japanese size lol Actually, some of my friends lives in smaller room than this and we, four ppl, have party in it🤣🤣🤣
I was wondering why her face looked so familiar, and it’s bc we get our hair cut at the same place and my stylist posts pics of her on her story 😂 ps here I was thinking my apartment was tiny... 😭
Most ppl I know want a really big mansion and stuff but I would enjoy a small suburban apartment with aesthetic cozy furniture etc. and a nice view out of the window while studying
You said you filmed this like a year earlier, so it's probably different now, but I just wanted to tell you that your hair looks really nice in this video. Thanks for showing us your home!
uuh monthly rent of 70k which sounds expensive, and it might be. But I'll add the stuff you get for that pricetag: -washing machine -full basic furnishing (bed, a desk and table) -an IH stove (like the one in the video) -location that is basically next to the main road, has jp bank, a few restaurants, metro station within 5 minutes of walking -within 10 minutes walk to two frescos (supermarkets) -within 15 minutes walk to JR Kyoto station all of which may arguably be worthwhile if you use those on a daily basis I suppose 😅 P.S. its a pseudo school dorm as well so that might have pumped up the price a bit as well.
@@natheaysabelle no problem! She said that she has to put all her stuff into 2 small suitcases when she goes, so she can’t buy any more clothing while she is there. ( I couldn’t do that, I need more stuff!!!)
@random user Aw, I'm so impressed by your lifestyle! I also hate the drudgery of everyday life, although I'm a bit too cowardly to do much about it, and don't think I'd be able to pull it off like other people can if I did otherwise, so I keep my feelings about it to myself. Living in a mansion is 👎
I wonder if you'll lose your deposit walking around the apartment with your shoes on because that's a big no-no in Japan. That little area by the door is the genkan where you're suppose to take off your shoes.
She appolgized about it you dont need to remind her because she made a small error man if i told you every time you didn't do something correct we be millionares by now.
I doubt her shoes caused any lasting damage to the floor, so her deposit will not be lost for this reason. That said, my sensibilities were so offended upon seeing/ hearing her wear shoes in the bathroom that I could not continue to watch the rest of the video.
To me it looks like so outdated. I cannot believe that they don't update old style. Eventhough, you look very comfy and beautiful. I like the way you talk smoothly🥰
I rented an apartment at that same building on my last trip to Japan. I loved that it was just up the street from Don Quijote and had lots of restaurants nearby.
@@flowridez What apartment building was it exactly? The apartment is exactly what im looking for when i want to visit japan since it looks like a great location!

Showers in Japan are not meant to stand in, hence its shortness. You sit on a stool to shower, then relax in the bath tub after.
While it's true they relax in the tub as you say, the bathroom is still really small for locals too and it's simply for the space problem. They separate toilet from bathroom in house, but they tend not to when it comes to hotel (inexpensive ones) and some apartments for the small space.

Yes. If you have a normal bathroom. Not this..

@@BlueSkyeDays. to be fair the other holder was still about the same height as her. Would probably still be more comfortable to be sitting.

most of people adore its anime or culture, but dang their architecture is so freakin good. I love the style of their houses
yesss, right? those traditional houses ARE STUNNING as well as korea's ugh 😩✋

Sun shining. I used to live in small room/space/small house without nice air and sun sign it good for your body and not make u depression.
Megan! Wow it’s so amazing to see how far you’ve gone since middle school. So happy for you:)
i love how theres a giant storage beneath the stove where you keep one frying pan
I love the amount of light that enters your apartment, and also your view. I also live in a room apartment and my window sees another apartment in the building next to mine lol. It hasn't this amount of light. Really nice apartment of yours, honestly
For some reason this video was so satisfying,love how minimlistic your apartment is.
Honestly this is the perfect amount of space for me tbh, I'd actually end up with extra space based on how much I own despite being 23. This looks awesome
I'm actually moving out of my tiny appartment in a few months and am really happy about that. I loved the time, where i lived here, but ... i couldn't imagine living any longer in such a small space xx.
Me from Hong Kong: You apartment is big😂
Free Hong Kong
As a fellow Hongkonger, I agree that this apartment is huge
I love this! I aspire to live like this someday. I still live with my grandma and there's just so many stuff to clean that I feel like dying. This is just paradise.
omg your english is so understable for me! i'm learning english atm with my lessons and only watch content in english to learn more in my free time! thanks for the videos
perfect house for introverts idk why
I wanna live in her apartment though, it's small for basically one person. I love it so much.
Yeah!
Watching from my tiny apartment in Japan as well. Super jealous of your balcony. Never thought I could get used to living in such a small space but it's shockingly comfortable
It's really cute and I love it! But I wish I could decorate it. You need art! You should add shelves in the space above your shoes, and a shelf in your pantry because there's wasted space there. If you're not allowed to drill or attach things to walls, you could use tension rods/shelves, or command strips and products to hang some little shelves. Then it'd be like having more closet space for clothes or dishes and what have you. You could hang art in front of the shelves to hide clutter, or at least put something over your bed, like some Bradon Hoover art or something colorful and abstract. I love how organized the space is, though, and Shibuya is lovely! Great tour! Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤️
This is the most realistic apartement tour ive ever seen so thank you :)
when I'm older I would be happy if I can live i. a small apartment as clean as this, I just like living in a small space dk why
Me too but veg and fruit stuff like that is too fucking expensive in Japan 😩
@@vito3510 ikr 😔
I can live with a small wardrobe: I have a minimalist wardrobe before minimalism was in! When you're the one who makes the laundry in a house of 5 peoples, you become minimalist because of laziness.
"Hot water heater" Do you mean a kettle? Love your apartment btw it's adorable.
No, she means the device to heat water in the bathroom.
@@mrbabluep Well she doesn't. It's at 4:41. It's a kettle.
@@Alfguin apologies, thought you're talking about 1:38
@@mrbabluep Ahh fair enough aha
Americans don't know what a kettle is 😂😂
My first accommodation in the UK also had a "pay to wash" washing machine. Now I'm moving into a house with my friends and we have our own washing machine - SO EXCITED ABOUT IT. YES, when you are excited about a washing machine, you know you're getting old LOL.
Did you seriously just call a kettle “a like hot water heater” ………. 😂😂😂
Americans don’t have kettles as their grid runs on 120v. It takes too long to boil water in a kettle with such low voltage so they all tend to use stovetop whistle pots. Nine out of ten Americans have no idea what a kettle is
I-We have one of those water heaters in my apartment (US) 😧
Shes not wrong 😂
@@wh1te5had0w that’s mad, I use my kettle for boiling water for ramen, tea, coffee (obviously I only heat the water in it and then pour it wherever it need to go). Coffee machines are not popular for single house use in my country at all (they are next level expensive and you can find very cheap, good quality coffee everywhere)
As a New Zealander, this shocked me, I've always called it a "jug" like "I'll go boil the jug" if someone comes over for a hot drink. Use it about 5 times a day and honestly couldn't live without it!
The layout is exactly like my old apartment in Yamato. It was back in 1994 and brand new, yours looks older than that. I had cupboards on both sides of the entry.
Ouuhhh shibuya!!! This apartment is quite good tbh.
This apartment is bigger than my first apartment here in germany :D I love the built in closets. it makes the entire apartment so clean!
I like watching apartment tours as far as layout, storage solutions and how people use the space they have. But I don't really care for it when they list and explain almost every single item they own.
I like when they do that
Some weird shit lol
If she do that, this video would be only 2 minutes because there is nothing in this small japanese apartment
I like it to an extent because that's what gives me a better visual of what they keep where as far as how they utilize the space. Now if someone makes an apartment tour video but spends a quarter of the time showing you say, their make-up collection, then that needs its own video. That's just my opinion and preference.
Okay but that outfit is everything!!🤩🤩
Seeing Italian food in Japan warms my heart.
It's really nice to have this kind of single apartment! I've been looking for places myself recently but all I can find in my city are some 2 or 3 bedroom apartments fot families. So I'd have to share the bathroom and kitchen with strangers. This worries me especially because the last time I shared an apartment with others was kind of a nightmare. Would love to have a place like this.
Not sure if anyone mentioned or if you've figured it out by now, but I see people are mentioning that the "closet" is for shoes, which yes it is, but the side on the left where it's really shallow is for one pair of shoes (1 shoe on each shelf) and then the big narrow area is for your umbrella!!!
Omg that tiny closet is so practical u can fit one tshirt in it
Lol
When she said it was practical I was like huh that’s the size of my shoe closet 👁👄👁
😂😭
@@hillarywin it is a shoe closet tho 😂 she just put her clothes in there bc I guess she didn't realize it's meant for shoes
@@hillarywin bc it is a shoe closet LOL
Not sure if you'll see this comment but I miss you girl! Looks like your living the life- I also love the Teo's container you have for your vitamins hahaha
Elena!! You got me through french class uuufff I miss you too 😢 and I miss Teo’s too mmmm
Ummm
Watching these videos over the weekend of people living in small apartments, i have been feeling so guilty of staying alone in a 2 bed flat for 900$ in India. Damn man. I love my life so much
This was such a beautiful space to live in, hope you have a amazing time there
I feel like that this is the amount of space a person actually needs. People build huge houses and apartments and they take up so much space. This is just good
As a hongkonger who has lived in spaces like this my entire life, please trust me when I say it's not.
This type of videos motivates me to work hard, have a good job and to lead a happy alone life😊🎊
Me before watching it: let me see how small the room is
Me after watching it: it's quite normal Japanese size lol Actually, some of my friends lives in smaller room than this and we, four ppl, have party in it🤣🤣🤣
The anxiety you gave me keeping your shoes on in the apartement and in the bathroom😱😱😱

Gold hour made your apartment look so animated 💕
I was wondering why her face looked so familiar, and it’s bc we get our hair cut at the same place and my stylist posts pics of her on her story 😂 ps here I was thinking my apartment was tiny... 😭
Coolll
Those are some quirky pants! They kept drawing my attention lol
Most ppl I know want a really big mansion and stuff but I would enjoy a small suburban apartment with aesthetic cozy furniture etc. and a nice view out of the window while studying
You said you filmed this like a year earlier, so it's probably different now, but I just wanted to tell you that your hair looks really nice in this video. Thanks for showing us your home!
the only thing that makes it different from my apartment in kyoto is that i have a microwave on top of the mini fridge 😂
How much does it cost???
uuh monthly rent of 70k which sounds expensive, and it might be. But I'll add the stuff you get for that pricetag:
-washing machine
-full basic furnishing (bed, a desk and table)
-an IH stove (like the one in the video)
-location that is basically next to the main road, has jp bank, a few restaurants, metro station within 5 minutes of walking
-within 10 minutes walk to two frescos (supermarkets)
-within 15 minutes walk to JR Kyoto station
all of which may arguably be worthwhile if you use those on a daily basis I suppose 😅
P.S. its a pseudo school dorm as well so that might have pumped up the price a bit as well.
@@5HOCH1 70k in usd or yen?
@@elijah6677 it’s 70k in yen which is around $700 usd
@@txuay cheap and worth
Having that little balcony totally saves that space from feeling to small ,
I never met someone put banana in fridge before 😂
I do it 😂
@@JoHnWxNoW98 lol
They ripen faster in the fridge. But don’t leave them in too long or else they’ll get super mushy
I do
Yeah they brown really fast. Hard lesson learned 😓
i can't imagine living with only that size of a wardrobe. cool 😭
But she said she is only there for 3 months
@@AdrienneMint ohh, i didn't catch that. thank you!
@@natheaysabelle no problem! She said that she has to put all her stuff into 2 small suitcases when she goes, so she can’t buy any more clothing while she is there. ( I couldn’t do that, I need more stuff!!!)
thats cause its a shoe closet not a wardrobe LOL
thats just like a hotel room, i love the vibe and all !!!
watching how small that apartment is, gave me an anxiety attack; I'm not kidding.
also, who is this nice girl and why was it recommended to me?
@CutiePie 林檎 I know, right? I love minimalistic spaces. I'm like a little bunny- I like my small, closed in rooms.
@random user Aw, I'm so impressed by your lifestyle! I also hate the drudgery of everyday life, although I'm a bit too cowardly to do much about it, and don't think I'd be able to pull it off like other people can if I did otherwise, so I keep my feelings about it to myself.
Living in a mansion is 👎
I wonder if you'll lose your deposit walking around the apartment with your shoes on because that's a big no-no in Japan. That little area by the door is the genkan where you're suppose to take off your shoes.
Dirty and noisy 😤

She appolgized about it you dont need to remind her because she made a small error man if i told you every time you didn't do something correct we be millionares by now.
@@M_Lopez_3D_Artist well I posted this reply *before* she issued an apology so.. 🤷♀️
I doubt her shoes caused any lasting damage to the floor, so her deposit will not be lost for this reason. That said, my sensibilities were so offended upon seeing/ hearing her wear shoes in the bathroom that I could not continue to watch the rest of the video.
I absolutely love small houses or apartments they seem and feel cozy and are not to hard to clean often. Btw Great videoo✨
You can put sanatary, cleaning and wellness products in the other side of the closet.
Looks like i stumbled upon the slice of life main character
Oh so this is what Mafuyu's room kinda looked like...
I love small spaces, this apartment looks amazing to me!
She definitely loves how she looks and that warmed my heart, ahaha! God bless 💕✨
To me it looks like so outdated. I cannot believe that they don't update old style. Eventhough, you look very comfy and beautiful. I like the way you talk smoothly🥰
I rented an apartment at that same building on my last trip to Japan. I loved that it was just up the street from Don Quijote and had lots of restaurants nearby.
how much is rent? just curios
@@空-j8k It was a short term rental of 11 days. About $80 USD per day. This was in October 2019. It was much cheaper than the hotels in the area.
@@flowridez What apartment building was it exactly? The apartment is exactly what im looking for when i want to visit japan since it looks like a great location!
