Everyone assumes Tokyo's all condos -- seeing what houses in Tokyo are like, would you prefer to live in a house or condo here?

I can feel that you put a lot of effort in the energy and "character" you portray in this video in particular. Like it a lot. Feels less corporate and more hanging out with a friend

Not entirely sure when the building was made, but that cabinet/shelf at 10:44 definitely looks like a spot where you were supposed to put an old tube TV.

It was really cool to see a contemporary place. Its kind of neat to compare it to other places

This was good. I couldn't live there, but it covered every single thing I'd need to know before making a decision. It's amazing you managed to get it all in within a 12 minute video. Well done.

Alex I'm so glad I discovered you through Chris Broad. Your videos are incredible!!!

The "minibar" section might have been where the TV used to be, back in the days when TVs were based on cathode-ray tubes and were fairly large. Not using the TV? Put it behind a cabinet.

I'm always impressed by how they plan an apartment's foyer/entrance hall. Hope this is applied more in my country

"This is for your 'Mini Bar'." Bro, it hasn't been THAT long since CRTs were a common household item. 😂 I'm only 25 but I still know what an entertainment cabinet looks like!

The way Alex starts these videos hunched down like Quasimodo doing his intro then taking those few awkward gliding steps away from camera is strangely endearing and very Japanese animé-like. It's becoming a template I look forward to 😅

I like your personal way of presenting, your attitude, your humor. I watch your videos to chill out 👌

what a fantastically designed house, every tiny bit is used sensibly. although those stairs you were sat on, although beautiful did not look safe. i particularly liked the mini garden, i think id turn it into a zen sand garden 🤣

That stove top hidden hood helps make the house look very clean, but I wonder how useful it really is.

This house has some distinct personality, I kind of love it!

Loving this channel (thank chris abroad/Cdawg for finding it lol).. Japanese homes are so different to to the UK and its always interesting to see. Especially the random rooms and spaces that they seem to have lol.

Keep up the good videos man, let's get this guy to 100k subs

OH MY GAWD I LOVE THE TINY GARDEN RIGHT OUTSIDE THE OFFFFFFFIIICCCCCEEE!!!! I would love to have a little ricefish porch pond nestled in some mossy waterfalls to look at all day, sheit!

Excellent work, sir! I became interested in something I normally would not look at longer than 15-30 seconds.

Instant "like" after you mentioned "Brazil" movie. By the way, thanks for great content!

That first bedroom is surely designed to be split in two. Those tracts on the floor and the two doors mean you could put a wall right in the middle. Good for a family with kids.

That little attic closet can be a sleeping nook! One side is the bed, the other storage, and the main area just a general purpose room.

Unique house, loved! Man, you deserve way more views! Your presenting style is on point, sub, fav and nots on! =D

I’m from SILVERLAKE, Los Angeles! I was happy when you mentioned it 👍🏼🙌🏼

Looking at the ceiling and floor, that one bedroom has 2 entrances because it is setup to be dividable into 2 sections. It just isn't configured that way at the moment. This is reinforced by the "smaller" bedroom being fancier. Speaking of that 2nd bedroom, I'm a weirdo for thinking the lower closet spaces would be cozy little places to sleep

10:53 Thats where the TV used to be when people still used CRTs. Its why there are slats to allow IR signals to be picked up. The modern TV mount was a later addition.

make that cool garage an art gallery ;)

I love meguro and naka-meguro. I loved when my train would pass through there

HI CAMERAMAN!! HIHI Again a stunning place to life, thanks so much sweetie!! Lots of love from an old rebel-Pinkie

Not walk-in but more like crawl-in closets, lol. Great videos, btw. Very concise, interesting and fun. Looking forward to your new ones.

The push in doors are a great idea. I need that in my house too.

Not that it’s cheap, but for this price definitely seems like better value than San Francisco!

I bet I know what that spot beside the TV mount that you said might be for a mini-bar might be for. All of that cabinetry looks fairly old so I bet that cubby was for a CRT TV that you could hide away to clean up the look. All of the wiring coming out of the wall passthrough behind the mount was added later on.

At around 10:30, he looks into that self thing. . I think that is originally where you were to put your TV. I don't know about Japan but in ye olde days of the US, you would have your TV in a similar setup.

I like this style of video. Lighthearted yet informative. Good stuff!

10:45 i think that's where the stereo / music stuff goes. or just where the TV was originally meant to go

I love the videos on this channel, I hope you keep this up!

When i saw the hooks I immediately remembered me playing Evil within game, they are perfect to hand dead bodies!

I live im Canada and by no means plan on living in japan and currently have no plans to visit japan any time soon.....so why am I addicted to these videos?! 😅

Love your content, great videos

You're too young to know, the weird doors were likely another TV cabinet, that used to be a very common design

at around 10:50 you're talking about the minibar area, but depending on the age of the house it could be for those old BIG box tvs

if this is avalable when i decided to move to japan yep i want it

I absolutely love this channel and congrats for having it taking off!!!! 😍

They thought of everything!

As a large man I wouldn't trust those kitchen stairs. They look like they'd snap

Excellent video!, i would love to see more houses reviewed by you. The house itself looks more like a zombie apocalypse proof bunker than a home, too dystopian for my taste.

Surprising they’re asking this much for how old the place looks. Solar is cool, but for the location a roof balcony would have maybe tiny bit made it pretty worth it.

Lower outdoor space would make an excellent spot for a Jacuzzi. If I was bringing in the kind of money to secure that rent, I would make an offer to buy the house outright.

It reminds me of a house featured in the anime "given"

If I wanted to live in Japan I’d have to have a completely custom house built. Such a strange layout and so freaking expensive

Always exicted what's on the market, keep it up and one day I might be able to have one these lovely spaces

havent....havent you listed this one before? This garage was so familiar.

the kitchen island looks like a picnic table with a sink

I dont know about anyone else but id be sleeping in the crawl spaces

I think that 2nd bedroom with the floor level closet is perfect for a child. I'm not sure why he believes this 2 bedroom rental is not large enough for a family with 1 child. People in large cities in the US like NY and San Francisco live in apartments as big as only the lower level of this rental. This rental has a whole, huge open space living room and kitchen plus underground parking with storage. Definitely more than enough room. The 1st larger bedroom, I would think about blocking off the 2nd door so there would be more usable space but even if you don't there's still enough space in that room.

That isnt a mini bar its for a CRT TV before flat screens were a thing. You would have your AV stuff below with the TV on top plus you could hide everything. which was common in the 90 and early 00.

Super neat house! I'm not a fan of the floating stairs, my balance can be just awful when I'm tired, but otherwise I could see that as a place I wouldn't mind living in. Waaay out of my price range, but if I ever win the lottery I'll keep this channel in mind XD

Very nice video as usual. As for the place, i really have to say it doesnt feel comfortable to me at all. It makes me feel claustrophobic and all these dark colors in a small room don't help :D

The cupboard you assumed as a mini bar is a space for a stereo or tv Alex lol

i really love this house, only thing (which is probably out of your control) it could have done with a bit of a clean, like the courtyard walls and closets

A garage in Tokyo?! Dang… that’s amazing!

"It's a cross between Soho in NY & Silverlake in LA"... LOL, I'll pass. Not the scene for me. I'm sure someone would love it though who likes that kinda location. Absolutely beautiful place regardless, the designer should be proud.

I love your jacket! Looks just like Vincent’s from Catherine.

that space next to the tv may be for a stereo/record player

blue star burger looks good i wish i could try it

10:44 looks like a cabinet for a CRT TV

What a strange layout. It has odd appeal, but also really quirky. The super long room looks like it was two rooms before. There's an AC unit on each side, and the dividing line in the middle. The "smaller" room looks like it could've been the master. The closet space could pass of as capsule hotel units XD.

Finished watching 12:05

Love to see inside the different houses, keep up the good work.

Good video. Enjoyed it

In-N-Out suuuuuucks...Whataburger for life!

@3:45 Doesn't get any more graceful than that. 5/7

You need a blender and mini fridge for a good mini bar, hence the plugs, right?

As much as I love places like this, the controls always look like they have come from the 60s/70s.

I dunno how new the house is but are you sure thst recessed space in the living room console wasn't originally for crt TV and when tvs got thinner they just mounted Vesa and shifted everything over?

I don't think I could ever get used to the tiny spaced Japanese Apartments or Houses. The Office would make me claustrophobic, so would the bathroom. And the rest of the living space isn't much better. The windows are on the top of the walls, so you can't see anything. Stairs are way too narrow and the kitchen lacks an oven - as do most other japanese homes. The only way seeing myself in a japanese house would be to remodel the whole place, and not only the furniture but pretty much everything, from windows, walls, etc. Unless maybe it's one of those traditional pre-war homes, which are kinda lovely actually.

Sharla and Chris weren’t interested in this property? Br2 could be a guest BR and/or filming space.

It’s for a CRT tv 10:29

I cant believe you just passed over the fact you are basically walking on the kitchen countertops to go upstairs.

"This is, surprisingly, the office-" Uh... yeah, nah... that spot is funky as sin for an office. "It has an A/C" Just shut up and take my money!

Where did the stairs in the kitchen lead?

Love that house! It lacks a balcony though...

“Very nice”

0:40 Vegan ice cream!

When will there be an actual new video instead of a re-upload of a previously uploaded and now deleted video? :/

Thanks for showing us allnthe cool places in tokyo, how much would this place sale for.

everything on Japanese house is so small. Not only the house itself small, everything about it is small. Your video even gives me claustrophobic. I think the ceilings needs to be 50% taller on every floor. And the top floor should be just one bedroom with a bathroom.

It always blows me away that people make that much money and we still have poverty and famine in the world

Another nice place but not quite what looking for - this one has not made the “when I win the lottery” list for a place in Tokyo 🤓😂🎌

Socks in a bathtub, lesson noted. Great video!

Always enjoy your videos, but didn’t you already post this one a while back? Asking for a friend. LOL!

¥650k/ month, 2 month security and 1 month key money is ¥1,950k. You said total initial move in cost is ¥4.3m including your commission. That means your commission is ¥2m????? That's $15k in commission!!!!! That's crazy!

I really do love the all around top level windows in the middle floor, I bet it has incredible ambiance at night. Though I do wish you would have shown the other balconies as well.

Hi! 03:14

My only problem with this house is that everything seens not that good for someone over 6"... from the garage lock to the bedroons doors

Security system in Japan homes or apartments its like "decor" stuff.

This isn't the first place shown that no fridge was shown or obvious and I feel stupid for missing it if it were there.

I live in Japan and I still wonder why they make everything so small and low. Other Asian countries don't and they have similar size people

The patio courtyard looking into the bathroom kind of threw me off.

Amazing place, if i was rich id buy it in a snap!
