Dude move the TV to the corner next to the shelf, move your bed to the loft above, and buy a comfy sofa or chair and then get a coffee table. Store the consoles in a box under the coffee table. You can make much better use of space.

I love how you just show us your entire life in one video. Awesome!

I wish we had more affordable apartments like that here in the U.S. especially near cities. Gets really annoying seeing studio apartments going for 1500 dollars or more

Jim lives in Shenmue!

His apartment small af but his living in Tokyo so I'm jealous

Very clean looking Japan is! Would love to go there

Probably the only dude in that neighborhood, let alone entire Japan with a Xbox!😂

I like watching a series on the Travel Channel with people moving to other countries and trying to find the ideal home to buy/rent. I always find it amusing how US citizens always find European sized kitchens small cause they are used to having a kitchen isle. I would like to see them check the "kitchen" (I am not even sure the kitchen in this video qualifies as one) in this video!

Living in Japan is definitely a world apart from living in a Western country. You can see where the drive to have systems that are small comes from. Thanks for the tour.

This was the first KidShoryuken video I saw. This is the good everyday mundane content!

Really enjoyed seeing the reality of living in Japan - thanks a lot for sharing

Dude this neighborhood looks so nice and inviting...so easy to go out and take a walk. Wish cities in America were like this.

Huge box of kleenex next to the bed and computer...

6:30 is when the Anime starts

Hi, kidshoryuken, If you don't mind me suggesting something, I really think that you could utilize the space that you have by getting a loft bed that has space for a desk and chair under it. I guess that would also depend on how high your ceilings are. but there are several styles available. it's almost like creating another loft dedicated for sleeping while you still have floor space. Just a friendly suggestion.

That is a very nice neighborhood, I think I could deal with the size to live there. Awesome video dude, love your channel so glad I found it.

Great video, another video about the nightlife in the city would be awesome as well.

That loft! Remember the first Futurama episode where Fry slept with bender in his tiny one-chamber living space. and a few days later he showed him an apartment-sized storeroom in the back?

I've seen bigger elevators

Woah, has anyone watched Welcome to the NHK? His apartment looks just like the anime. Weird

Wish I can live in Japan. The people are so nice and really smart and it's so peaceful there.

Cool to see the setup!. Gonna check out if you have a newer one too

This is really cool Jim. Thank you for sharing this and really like your living space that you have. As a man that lives in an apartment myself, I also agree that its best to live in the corner section as well. I do the same thing too. Your neighborhood is nice and quiet, and the complex looks well maintain. Well done Jim. Always a pleasure to see the latest and greatest from you. Anthony..

Awesome! Looks like everything a single guy would need! Love it! I could use a space like that every so often...

The neighborhood looks like Shenmue

A living space that small would drive me crazy. Even if I only had to spend a small amount of my a day there.

You're living the dream man! I loved this video.

looks peaceful, neat, and quiet. I am envy of your neighborhood

What a beautiful neighborhood. I can see myself retiring in a place like that.

My bedroom is bigger than your apartment,but I kinda like the cozy feeling.

reminds me of my room when I used to live in Kyoto.

Walking to your apartment through your neighbourhood really is a nice addition to your apartment tour that I didn't see in other videos before :) thank you!

wow! I was blown away by the tiny kitchen area and the small bathroom... but it looks like you made it work! kinda neat that it has the little loft, and it least has the bars to prevent you from rolling off absently in your sleep. would love to visit the country some day!

I presently live in a LeoPalace. Little expensive but I like how it comes with TV, internet, washing machine, microwave and fridge. I'm hoping to get a condo or a cheap house next year when I'm married

that neighbourhood looks really nice and idyllic

Ok suggestions just wanted to throw them out there. Put the refrigerator and microwave in the area above the entrance or at least for the microwave use shelves that mount on the wall. Use a stepping stool if too high for the area above. That area above is just being under utilized and you need all the space you can get from what I can see. For the bed during the day put your mattress up above and stand your bed frame against the wall somewhere or even outside. With this new found space get a comfortable chair or a large bean bag. Hope this helps.

the feeling of being own your own must feel great. I hope I get that myself

I like the setting, but definitely my suggestion maybe a sofa bed where you can sit while gaming and sleep like a pull out after a day of hard off hahaha that sounds so wrong but you know what i mean.

I've been looking at an apartment in Akihabara that's nearly the same size as this one going for $900 a month. I think the one is Akiba is just slightly bigger though. Though it has a TINY closet; about half has big as yours.

700 isn't too shabby for the area, I was expecting over 1000. Thanks for sharing the video.

No matter the size man, it's quaint, nice, clean,and best of all it's all yours good find in an awesome peaceful neighborhood, good going bro👍

Always really cool to see where people live. I stayed in akinhabara (sp?) when I stayed in Japan for a visit

Get yourself a stool for the shower dude, then you can sit down and not have to worry about banging your head. I have the same problem. But surely it's cheaper in the long run as you don't have to pay as much for trains?

Thanks for the more intimate video man! Love the pad and the view ain't too shabby either. The neighborhood was really chill too. 👍🏻 in my opinion!! Peace and blessings bro!!

Is this Yakuza 6?

I would definitely keep my bed down there, too. Just need my bed on the floor next to a wnidow, not in small corner beneath the ceiling. Plus, i wouldn't want to climb up every night.. ^^

That's crazy small, but you're doing a great job of making it work.

Nice video, I really liked my time in Sasazuka when I was in Tokyo.

your apartment reminds me of anime, i LOVE IT, its so cute!! its sooo awesome, i love these types of videos, me and some friends actually planning on visiting tokyo next year

Looks cosy as fuck, I always had an image in my head that you lived in a fort full of games, it's good to finally put that into perspective lol. One of my top KZfaq channels, keep it up.

what a lovely area and your right it does remind me of Vincent's apartment from Catherine but was not expecting a loft up in there haha great stuff man

Thank you for sharing these living in Japan videos. Really enjoy them.👍

This is an awesome video. When I was in Tokyo we stayed at relations house and it was 10x bigger. I cannot imagine how much it cost.

at 1:17 pretty sure he walked a covered R32 Skyline. Sweet

Lol, and here i am in Belgium paying my loan for my 3 bedroom house with garage and garden for a 1000 euro a month. Tokyo is so expensive damn, interesting though! Grts

wow! nice collection. I like old school games too.

Excellent eye opener. The tight spaces of a city environment with the cleanliness and impression of safe living is very interesting. I've lived in jersey, right by nyc my whole life and have strived to get to the more open/country like areas my whole life. Looks like a nice place.

Beautiful area i love your setup. On a lot of tiny house youtube shows they show good setup's and Pinterest as well. Like the bed would be in the loft and living room would be a big oled tv and gaming setup. Beautiful clean area looks lovely.

Thank you so much for showing us street life in your neighborhood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lived in one of these 6畳 apartments for 4 years when I first came to Japan. I think they are enough for single life but it was weird bringing people over.

the streets are soo clean, its impressive with very few cars

That place looks so nice. Thanks for sharing!

You should get some of those plastic totes with drawers and wheels underneath.You could put all your consoles in those under your bed and store them away if your not playing them.

Really enjoyed this video mate! Feels like we have been friends for years and you showing me your place. I have officially subscribed.

This neighborhood looks so nice....I would love to live in this one. one day....

Your apartment tour was aursome...Wherever a person stays doesn't really matter my friend."Big things comes in small packages"...

Very Nice collection! !!!👍

I'm 6'1 as well! I hit my head on EVERYTHING the semester I was in Japan. Door frames were especially dangerous! I hope that when I go back in the spring I learn to duck much more quickly. Your apartment reminds me my bedroom now... so many systems that there isn't enough room for them all on the entertainment center! Though I don't have the impressive game collection because I buy all of my games as a download when I can (I grew up with a thief and I cringe buying physical copies).

The sun fading on those games 😭 I would keep my games out of the sun

Nice man! I think we've all been waiting for this one. That neighborhood brings me back!! I used to stay in Kita a lot (right next to Jujo station), so I love that serene kind of feeling you can get, just 10 minutes away from a major station. I'm currently going back to school for another year and a half, to make sure my visits can be a little more permanent. We'll have to go game hunting one of these days. P.S I don't know if you've ever talked to Jimmy Happa on YT, but he turned me onto a fucking killer little shop in Akiba called "BEEP" they have a shit ton of classic Japanese computer stuff, and a lot of pc engine stuff too. The owner actually builds his own jp21 cables. It's a cool little spot that a lot of game hunters haven't found out about yet.

Nice video! Always nice to see how others live in Tokyo. My name is also Jim lol. 8:35 I got a stamp from all 65 stations! :D

Japan seems like a beautiful country. That neighbourhood looks just awesome. Shenmue and the Grudge vibes =). Love your channel by the way. John Riggs brought me here.

I miss living in Japan. So clean.

You have a lot of cool gaming consoles!

Nice. I'll be visiting Tokyo in March. Small vacay with fam.

I was doing the month to month apartment living for a while and really got used to the systemic nature of it; much better than worrying about paying a mortgage for a large piece of property but only so long as the neighborhood is quaint like yours. I would do what you're doing so long as it comes with a bathroom-guarantee.

They'd never allow an apartment like that here in the UK, purely because we're supposed to have two doors between the Kitchen and Bathroom areas.

I stayed in a similarly sized apartment for 3 weeks as an airbnb while in Tokyo. Wouldn't wanna live in one, especially when I'm used to European sized apartments, but for travel it's great. It was cheap accomodation and you're only there to sleep (not even all nights lol) anyway.

Wow that's one small apartment xD The area looks nice, very quiet. Its cool to see a neighborhood in Japan :)

Nice bro! This is something I hope to live in when I plan to study at Temple in the near future.

Don't forget the tissues! ;) Going to Japan myself later this year, no idea where i'll be ending up or what job I will be having. First thing to do is sell a lot of stuff, give away or throw away if needed. Not planning on returning to the Netherlands as I have nothing really left here anyways. But yeah, I will be looking into a decent place to stay at. Must be cheap, yet not too far away from my job. So that hot iron I still need to handle. soon.

the way i see it, thats a good price for everything he has , becuase I know in new york some people pay 600 for a room they have to share ... at least he has a small kitchen bath room to his self etc

Like on you tube there a $350 japanese apartments and they are pretty big and much more spacious than yours I can't believe a $700 apartment in japan looks like this so I guess $350 is quite better.. but it still nice especially the shelf for your game it looks Sooo nice you did a great job organizing it!

Good price for the size. My residence room at university was this size and coat way more the 700 a month. Canada is ridiculous.

I actually really appreciate this video

Awesome stuff Jim, living the dream!

I dig this neighborhood. I could live very comfortably there. Large crowds give me the heebys this place is way low key. I dig the apartment very utilitarian. good to know you got room for when I crash....but I think we'd both prefer to share your bed ;)

I'm digging the PC Engine and Neo Geo CD! Track yourself down a Neo Geo CDZ if you haven't already. . .I'm sure you can score one around there!

That's a small apartment but it's neat I'm jealous of the game cube collection I've never owned one

Here I am, in northern Ontario, Canada, with a 1,000 sqft house to myself and I'm complaining about running out of room. Everything sure is tight over there.

My God, that neighborhood is gorgeous! I actually love that apartment. If I were still a loner, I think I'd be really happy in an apartment that size. I'd maximize the fuck out of that space.

looks really cool

This is basically the size of my room. This is my dream apartment

And I also keep the plumber magnets on the fridge!

This was actually pretty fascinating! It makes me appreciate my 1-bedroom apartment in Atlanta, GA a Hell of a lot more.

0 dislikes, congrats bud.

Sweet video, nice apartment! And great PCE collection!

Thank you nice tour apts not to bad long. As it's quiet

WHY am i complaining about my $500 apartment with 750sqft here in Huntsville AL... currently looking for something $700 and Im feeling very ungrateful right now. God bless.

Small but nice room in a beautiful neighbourhood.... But most amazing is total stock of games 😁
