I really like the layout of your sofa, bed, and TV! The way you have them facing makes it feel like you still have separate sections for the "living room" and "bedroom".
It definitely looks and feels ultra cosy. The bedroom looks phenomenal with the wall colour and lights mixed in together. A perfect spot to watch stars and write poetry :)
Great video clip! I’m funny 😄, but... liked the drain for the sink, the locking Gadget for the closet. They pay close attention to details. Great 👍 view of Mt. Fuji. Your apartment is nicely decorated and clean. Your video sequencing looked very professional.
I like it 👍🏼. Single and close to convinces not bad. Functional to your needs and security. Wise choice. Being a minimalists also make it appear spacious. Good content. Thanks for sharing.
I used to live in a studio apartment not too much bigger than that. It wasn't a big deal, you just work with the space you have. All I need is a bathroom, a bed, and a kitchen.
The rent is really reasonable here in Japan. $900 is really good for 2 yrs old apartment in Tokyo. Probably costs double in US, Canada or UK. If you go to a country of Japan you can rent a whole house with around $300-$500.
I really dig that place. The toilet being is a strange thing for me but is just my preference. My favorite thing are those couch pillows and that tv, i mean wow in that space it fills the room. Your aesthetic is nicely done.
Gorgeous! I rather like the larger couch and would choose that over a smaller one. You can always nap on it, fully stretch out while you read, and have more than one visitor if you wish. Those little Japanese couches are the worst in the world. Not at all comfortable. The fairy lights and Fuji view send it over the top. Well done.
i like the apartment, really perfect for a single person, its easy to clean and looks very comfortable to live in. it looks like most of the student apartment offered by the university in Germany.
Hey! Just a week ago I saw TokiDoki traveller's 8 sq. meter Tokyo apt vid and comparing to that, this one is "chic" (french word) a luxurious place so to speak. Concrete walls and good sound isolation is smth almost unheard of in Tokyo - Lucky you Sam!
A very cozy and aesthetic home, seems so clean and peaceful. I also like that your window doesn't look out onto a neighbor for that extra private feel.
Oh, could you show that mail and trash part downstairs? That's the sort of thing I'm interested in seeing, like the little things like that door stopper you have or how trash recycling works in other countries or supermarkets and furniture shopping - which I don't think you'll do more of if you're a minimalist as your answers to comments would suggest.
Cute apartment, Sam! 🌸 I think it sounds like a bargain considering Tokyo’s difficult rental market especially for foreigners. I’m also surprised to hear the exchange rate nowadays. I used to live in Tokyo during the first half of 2012 and oh boy the yen was expensive and euro so cheap. I think 10.000 yen was around 120-150€. My apartment was a run-down, not renovated apartment in the second floor of an old Japanese house. The walls were paper and I had old stained tatami floor. Yet the apartment was really expensive. In euros it was more than 700€ 😂
Samu chan, that is definitely a cosy nice little flat you've got there. I looks very functional and I love the wood furniture. Wood is beautiful, clean and healing, isn't it? The decoration is really pleasant and a the view absolutely awesome! I would love this kind of place. Make the most of your time over there. Nice "omoide". 🤗🍀🌟
You seem to have mastered the art of finding a place for everything. This was a wonderful tour. I love the fairy lights. Keep up the good work. Love your content!
Very nice. I like all the gadgets like your Sanyo Micro everything and the multi-function shower room. I bet you can rearrange your "big room" to get back some space. Turn you couch facing your bed or switch them around. The TV is a tuffy though. Regardless, you've done a very nice job, enjoy:)
@@SamInTokyoo Miss Monstera! I'm just a quarantined male in spring, so you'll have to forgive my foibles. I like those little toadstools you're keeping on your shelf.
Hi Sam, nice house tour. A few thoughts: I am so glad you are happy with your apartment, it has many modern conveniences (I suppose like many Japanese homes), great view of Mt. Fuji, and lastly, it is way more affordable than San Francisco (anywhere in the SF Bay Area would be far more expensive).
Congratulations on your new living space. Excellent toilet in that apartment. Just thoughts; not sure about the wall measurements, however, would the bed fit better in the corner along the length of the wall instead of the couch there in the other direction. Then put the couch along the wall where the bed is, then mount the tv on the wall.
Omg, absolutely love your apartment! 90,000 yen a month is not expensive for this! I live in Yoyogi-Uehara at an 18sqm apartment and pay 100,000😭. Could you please tell me which real estate company you’ve used?
Your Apartment is really nice, small but everything is here and for 1 it's perfect ! The price is not that high for inner Tokyo and the age and state of the place :)
3:45 Actually the orange button is a heater (暖房) and the yellow button is a dryer (乾燥), so you have to use the yellow button to dry your clothes. The strong (強) button and the weak (弱) button blow hot air, and the air blowing button (風乾燥) blows cold air.
Did you just mansplain laundry to me 😂 yes I can read, do you know how much longer it takes to use the drying function? Also then the creases wouldn’t come out of my clothes as well. Drying function is for when the room is wet
@@SamInTokyoo Sorry, since I've watched your videos I know you can speak Japanese well. I just thought reading would be more difficult for some people . I shouldn't have assumed that every person was like that. 失礼いたしました、私自身雨の日はお風呂場の乾燥システムで服乾かしているので、つい。人それぞれですね、すみません。サムさんが日本語凄い勉強しているのも知っています。
I appreciated the translations. :) Can you do the microwave now? That's a lot of writing on a microwave (/oven/grill). I'd feel overwhelmed by the writing. XD
No a bad apartment! Like you said its very modern, the only problem is that it would be too small for me. I would need a lot more room lol I need my Space!!
could move the couch with the back against the stringy light wall and wall mount the tv on the opposing wall to open the space up...or just keep it the way it is
Mounting TV’s on walls is absolutely not an option in Japan lol, it’s not allowed to put nails in the walls in any rental apartment in Japan (also earthquakes)
Can you hear the sounds from the street when you are on your balcony? Do you use it to sit outside anyways? - I realized for us europeans its a lifestyle but in Japan its more like... a little space to story stuff and dry cloths. xD O love the fairy lights, they give just the right amount of decoration and homey feelng to it! How are you holding back from buying all the stuff? I am a hoarder, its crazy how neat your place looks! I wish I could be more minimalistic.
True, balconies don’t really serve the same purpose in Japan, which is why a lot of the time the layout doesn’t allow for outside lounging. I do have a chair out there and I sit outside sometimes but I actually prefer opening the door and sitting on the foot of the bed, since it’s almost outside anyway :) I’ve never been a hoarder or collector and I don’t like owning multiple items that serve the same purpose so it’s really easy for me to live minimalistic! It’s very hard for me to live with others because of this though haha, lots of stuff on display stresses me out
OK, so.... the one string of lights that hangs right in front of the right edge of your TV. That would drive me insane. Other than that, it looks like a quaint little place.
OMG where did you find that cool door-stopper/grabber at 8:03 ?!? In America we only have those big, rubber wedges or the springy-stick that protects the wall... never a product that does both!! Is it a Japanese invention? Does it have a name?!
It's a nice little place but maybe its the American in me but I'd feel way too claustrophobic in such a small place. I pay less than a thousand for a mortgage and my kitchen is larger than that whole place. I respect the Japanese people for being able to live comfortably in such a small space, I wish I was capable of it.
The place may be small however you’ve mastered the space you have. It’s nice to see you have a small cocoon where you feel safe and comfortable.
Honestly I loved it ! Perfect for someone living alone
You are a master of space!
I really like the layout of your sofa, bed, and TV! The way you have them facing makes it feel like you still have separate sections for the "living room" and "bedroom".

Fantastic place! Thanks for sharing! Stay safe & beautiful!
It’s small but perfectly formed. And what a view! I had something similar sized in Paris for 820€
すごくセンスが良いお部屋ですハート♥️
すばらしい😊
富士山が遠くに見えるのがいいね👍
Wow.. i love your apartment, its just perfect for a single person living. Thanks for sharing. May i know where you get your sofa from?

Gorgeous! You've inspired me to try to be way more minimal. It's a much less stressful environment that way. Thanks for sharing!
You have used the space well. Lots of convenient tools to help save space. You have everything at your fingertips.
Sam, it is very neat to see your apartment. Everything is so well organized and efficient. Thank you and hope you are well!
🥰 I love it, I've always loved smaller spaces more than larger ones. Just cozier vibes, ya know??
Like a nest 🥰

Awesome apartment tour. It looks cozy and homey. The price you are paying is reasonable. Location, and modernity are what you are paying for.

Really cozy apartment, and you did a great job decorating!
I like this new style of video, glad the algorithm informed me of your return.
Your apartment is very good and your space management skill is great and one more thing
That Timelapse is awesome ☺️❤️

Your apartment may be small but it looks so cozy and for one person it's just perfect! 😊
Wow, you're so well organized, Sam! The lighting you setup creates a really nice mood for evenings. Breathtaking view too.
I love you...and your New home Sammy ❤️💕😘👍😊👑😍👏🏼
All that matters is that you like it. It is a very nice apartment.

Yeah I’m pretty lucky that Tokyo is relatively cheap! Cities like London or Paris in Europe are also much more expensive
How about moving the bed to where the TV is, moved the TV to sofa spot & lastly, the sofa to the bed location. 😉
I had that before and it didn’t work, after much shuffling, this is the ideal layout for me
Sam In Tokyo - cool!
良く片付いていてキレイな部屋ですね。乱雑な私とは全然違います。
Nice video 👌

Great apt. Where did you get the awesome towel from???
On the floor? Nitori!
@@SamInTokyoo thank you!
what is the name of the background music? it feels so relaxing.
I'd like to see your balcony too.
Oh yeah I forgot to show it lol there’s nothing special about it except the view :D
Nice cozy apartment! I was wondering can I ask which neighborhood this apartment this is in?
How is that plastic drawer called in Japan?
Also no restriction when comes to hanging stuff on the balcony?

OK, so.... the one string of lights that hangs right in front of the right edge of your TV. That would drive me insane. Other than that, it looks like a quaint little place.
Me too, haha. I immediately noticed it and wanted to tuck it behind the TV.
I can ease your minds on this, I did tug it 😂 I had moved some cables out of the way before filming and the light string got stuck

What's that thing that popped out of the wall at 5:00?
An air vent!
How did you move in the sofa?
I don’t even know how to answer that, I just carried it I guess 😂
@@SamInTokyoo dismantle then assemble? The sofa looks bigger than the front door or hallway.

Klein maar gezellig. Geniet ervan :-)
Soo schön
Too bad you couldn't do a couch/bed combo. That white bed reminds me of a hospital bed.
I could’ve but I already had the couch and I didn’t wanna sleep on it 😆
