$400 vs $600 Japanese Apartment Tour

[@hangswithchristian]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5Pbo2OmrLWksNE ‼️ How do these stack up to my apartment? Check it out, link above 👆🏽

[@Ai-No-Unmei]

The 400 one I'd live forever, just big enough for 1, not too much not too little and that kitchen AND bath! :o

[@hangswithchristian]

It’s not bad right! Great price, location and size for one person. I couldn’t agree more. Bernardo did really well in finding it. Thanks so much for watching 🙋🏽‍♂️🤙🏽

[@Wild_Cat]

I think $600 for furnished with everything included is worth it.

[@hangswithchristian]

It’s a hell of a deal, they both are to be honest or at least in comparison to my home country!

[@bernoGarcia]

Love the video. Super informative. Love the speed transitions. Also I like this Bernardo guy.

[@hangswithchristian]

Haha love the self love! Appreciate the feedback buddy and also the access to the home legend 🏠 ✌🏽

[@debzimmerman633]

That 400. one is really nice can be fixed up sooo cute.

[@hangswithchristian]

Yeah I actually love that he has the freedom to build it out how he wants hey! It’s a great apartment with all the space he needs. Thanks for watching buddy, hope to hear from you soon 🙋🏽‍♂️✌🏽

[@ceciliaschleicher278]

If I had a choice, I would go with the 2nd apartment. More space and options for layout. The 1st one is cool and if I am stuck a budget, then #1 is still a very good option. I just would love #2 to set up my sewing room in the bedroom put a daybed in kitchen/living area for sleeping watcjing tv. That's all I would need

[@hangswithchristian]

Yeah you are very right and I would choose apartment two myself. I appreciate space more than anything. I reckon one you set it up with your own layout, could be such a great space. And the location being so close to the main Hakata station is awesome! Thanks so much legend 🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵

[@jackolsols]

Nice one Christian - Letssss gooooooooo legend!!!!!

[@hangswithchristian]

Thank you legend! I appreciate you taking the time to give it a watch. Hope it was insightful 🙋🏽‍♂️✌🏽

Thanks for showing your place Tyler. It’s really nice! I like this comparison video Christian. Bernardo’s place is nice too.

[@hangswithchristian]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it ✌🏽

Thanks again buddy - I am absolutely loving sharing my time here and I hope it just gets better as we go along 🙋🏽‍♂️✌🏽

[@longjohntravels]

loved the video as always bruva

[@hangswithchristian]

Ay thank you my dude! Truely appreciate the feedback and support 🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵

[@Nameless-lk8ld]

Very informative! I like the furnished apartment. What was that drink? Calpis?

[@hangswithchristian]

Oh interesting hey. Both have their benefits. I think I sway more to Bernardo’s place as I always want more space. Though having to furnish is a mission haha It’s called a Calpis Sour. It’s a super delicious chuhai, you must try haha

[@hotel3sixty64]

Great video again, Christian. I’m not a big fan of anything Insta360, especially their 360 cameras, which have very poor resolution. However, they do allow you to capture unique angles that a regular camera can't. Without a doubt, the Pocket 3 is the best with its fabulous low-light performance and the built-in gimbal. It’s the perfect camera, in my humble opinion, for filming the Yatais in the evening. Good work mate!

[@hangswithchristian]

Hey buddy, thanks for coming back. It’s great to hear from you! Yeah, I used to not be a fan of the 360 cameras myself until I finally picked one up and started to have a play. It’s actually surprisingly a huge amount of fun! Especially when making these kinds of videos you can just add a different perspective. But you are 100% right the pocket 3 is the clear hero haha. I actually haven’t really done any lowlight stuff yet so I’m looking forward to doing some nighttime stuff eventually. Appreciate the support legend 🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵

[@hotel3sixty64]

@@hangswithchristian Cheers mate, one question, what's your go-to video editing program.

[@hangswithchristian]

I’ve always been using Final Cut Pro myself. I worked for Apple for a very long time so it was an easy choice for me haha

[@zacksseiler]

Hey, Christian! Love your channel, man. I'll be moving into Fukuoka this upcoming April to attend FFLC language school. I'm wondering how you an Bernardo found your apartments? Cheers!

[@hangswithchristian]

Thanks so awesome to hear - Fukuoka is a really great city to based in and also to practice your Japanese. I’ve had so many fantastic experiences here already. Our apartments were arranged through our school, luckily so we were incredibly fortunate to have them help us out. Does your upcoming school provide support? It might be worth asking them as many schools work with accommodation providers for short-term rentals like student visas. I hope that helps legend🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵

[@saraboony]

Another great video! 🤩

[@hangswithchristian]

Legend! Thanks for tuning in and Im glad you enjoyed watching Sara 🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵🏠

[@miguelmartin963]

Great vid man! Cant believe how cheap rent is compared to aus haha. Are you purpusely leaving Left and Right audio channels for when you have two mics going? I realised it's not stereo and only coming out from either side. But then stereo again when its only one mic.

[@hangswithchristian]

Haha yeah it’s crazy cheap hey! And Yes I was no one would notice the audio haha I couldn’t work out how to fix it so I just went with it 🤣 Thanks for watching though and putting up with the left and right channels haha 👍🏼🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵

[@miguelmartin963]

@@hangswithchristian haha true, what are you using to edit? It's an easy fix. Can help you out.

[@hangswithchristian]

Haha thank you mate, I reckon I could have worked it out but I was under a bit of a crunch to finish and upload it. Didn’t think anyone would notice….until…Miguel. Hahaha nah all good, thanks again for watching legend! ✌🏽

@@hangswithchristian your very welcome, and thank you I'm loving it.=)

[@jo_xiaojie]

Bernardo’s place for the win. Although I’d have troubles in all of them because I have too many handbags and shoes 😂!

[@hangswithchristian]

Haha ahh YES! You do need to be somewhat of a minimalist in Japan as storage isn’t really a concept in small apartments 🤣 Though, I think I am siding with you on Bernardo’s place also! Thanks for tuning in mate 🙋🏽‍♂️

[@jo_xiaojie]

@@hangswithchristian perfect for you but I don’t want Shane getting any ideas, that will never be me haha!

[@zZDavidHD]

Funny to see Bernando at your channel haha

Haha friend of yours?? Awesome dude!

No bro, just found his Channel couple of weeks ago haha

[@hangswithchristian]

Thanks so much mate, so kind of you to say a where you watching from?? 🙋🏽‍♂️✌🏽

[@yonirobuck7654]

Such a useful video for those of us who have been following along!! Curious but how much are utilities normally per month for apartments like these?

[@hangswithchristian]

Ah good question. As mine and Tylers bills are completely covered in our rent Im not sure but I will ask around and try and cover that in a future video. Thanks for tuning in mate!✌🏽🇯🇵

[@Jon-tsuki-geri]

Chur bro for the video yeah nah great flats all good for the boys at the local prices,i wouldn't have a problem with either one,noice digs.

[@hangswithchristian]

Yeah they both aren’t bad right. And personally I think both are a great deal especially in comparison to what I had in Australia!

Big love from Uzbekistan ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇿

[@mayfleur36]

Much love from Canada 🇨🇦 I’ve always had an interest in Japan, ever since I had two pen pals from Japan. One was from Tokyo, and the other one was from the old capital of Kyoto.

[@hangswithchristian]

From Japan to Canada! I love that, thank you so much for tuning in from across the sea 🌊 Wow, that is so cool, do you still keep in touch with them? Were you writing to them in Japanese? 🇯🇵 Thanks so much for watching and letting me know where from mate🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵

[@mayfleur36]

@@hangswithchristianunfortunately, I haven’t corresponded either either lady, in such a long time. The pen pal who lived in Kyoto, she sent me at least 25 post cards of the old capital, so I reciprocated by sending her about 25 post cards from around Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

[@paramount5592]

I’m so excited, I start language school in Ikebukuro in July. Planning on living in a dorm for a few months then getting an apartment in Chiba. Do you think getting and paying rent for $400-$500 is reasonable or is it generally more expensive?

[@hangswithchristian]

Congratulations on your upcoming move to Japan! Tokyo is such an amazing city. You’ll have a blast. I’m not 100% on the prices for student accommodations in Tokyo but that does sound about right. Prices in Tokyo are almost what they are here in Fukuoka. And that is a popular location also, on the JR line. So you aren’t in the middle of nowhere haha Wishing you the best of luck on your journey mate!🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵

[@frederickhansen7108]

I'm a big guy, 250 pnds 6'1,'d have to go with the $400 dollar apt!

[@hangswithchristian]

Yeah I think that’s a good decision hey! I would choose space overall myself too. Thanks for watching buddy, hope you enjoyed the comparison ✌🏽🇯🇵

[@loriannrichardson7644]

I'd live in the $400 apt. in a heartbeat!

[@hangswithchristian]

It’s not bad right! Its proper spacious enough for one person easily. Thanks so much for watching, means alot! 🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵

[@landspide]

Curious what the locals pay in comparison too? Seems way way way way cheaper than Tokyo.

[@hangswithchristian]

Oh yeah it is definitely much cheaper than Tokyo here for sure. As Bernardo’s is still on a special contract, he is still paying a little bit more than usual. Generally rental contracts for apartments in Japan run for two years and I think his is only one year which means he is probably paying that little bit extra to get that place. Thanks for tuning in also buddy! Appreciate the watch 🙋🏽‍♂️

[@ducsue751]

This is kinda odd. The rent should be higher if the walking distance to the nearest train station is under 10 mins. 11:20 Is this room floor heated? Looks like it could be.

[@hangswithchristian]

Great deal I guess hey! Fukuoka though is much cheaper than other major cities such as Tokyo or Osaka. Nah none of them have floor heating, that would be amazing during winter haha

[@Maer-si]

How did you find those apartments/how did you get them?

[@hangswithchristian]

Hey! I saw your other comment on my AMA post. I get this question alot, I think I’ll add it to my AMA video. Thanks so much for watching! 🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵

[@mirukoah128]

Christian さん、Please don’t let feet land on the place you take shoes off. Sole of your feet gets dirty. Because 土間(Doma), the down space is perceived as outside in Japan😉

[@hangswithchristian]

Haha thanks mate!

I like your’s the best for space and value for money. Vicki from Aus.

[@hangswithchristian]

My $500 apartment? Thanks so much for watching Vicki 🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵 I do love my place alot, it’s a great size for one person I think. Plus it definitely beats the Australian prices right now as you know haha

[@Sensei486]

6:34 - Would have censored the code.

[@hangswithchristian]

Haha I thought about that after myself. But then again, he already exposed his room number in his own apartment tour video previously. Check out his channel, he does interesting stuff: youtube.com/@bernogarcia

[@light-265]

우연히 영상을 보았습니다. 근데 서양인들이 이상할 정도로 잘 모르는 부분이 거슬려서 지적합니다. 2:00 출입문에서 신발을 벗을 때 맨발을 바닥에 대고 실내로 들어오면 신발 신고 들어오는 것과 차이가 없습니다. 그렇게 하면 실내가 더러워지는 건 마찬가지입니다. 친구분 역시 양말을 신은 채로 밖에 나갔다 들어오네요. 실내를 깨끗하게 유지하려면 맨발이나 실내용 슬리퍼가 실외 바닥에 닿지 않게 해야 합니다. 외국 유튜버들이 일본이나 한국에 와서 찍은 영상 볼 때마다 이 부분이 많이 보여서 알려드립니다. 이게 제대로 번역이 돼서 이해를 할 수 있을지 모르겠네요.

[@hangswithchristian]

Thanks for the feedback mate - appreciate it!

[@baretta-m7i]

Fukuoka is an old city but great food because its all korean Japanese 😅

[@hangswithchristian]

Fukuoka has easily turned into my favourite city in Japan. It is definitely more easy to live here than more crazy cities and the people have been so incredible! It’s been a really welcoming experience ✌🏽

[@mablethemarvelousmastiff7534]

The second one seems better laid out.

[@cooliipie]

I think the 600 one is acceptable, the 400 one is way too small for the money. Maybe for $200 lol.

[@hangswithchristian]

Yeah I definitely prefer more space also in the $600 one. I’d feel a bit claustrophobic in the cheaper one though I do like that all the bills were included which is a massive positive knowing that’s all paid for every month!

[@jessiericej]

If I move Japan I would bye that house rent to

[@hangswithchristian]

Which one did you prefer? they are both great apartments and a lot cheaper to buy here in Fukuoka! Thanks for watching 🙋🏽‍♂️

[@kamanama3671]

Refrigerator?

[@hangswithchristian]

Haha as in Bernardo’s place? Yeah he has to buy everything! Though is is confident he doesn’t need a fridge 🤣

[@RichelleG23]

the last is better 2 people can live there

[@hangswithchristian]

Yeah, I’ve been going back and forth but I think Im with you. I value space and light over everything else. That added space makes the difference. Thanks so much for watching mate, hope to hear from you again soon 🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵

[@DVDfeverGames]

Oh man, walking barefoot in someone else's apartment? Ewww.... Nice video apart from that, though, and the cheaper apartment seemed more spacious than the other one, and it's the latter one I also saw earlier today, as I've been looking at Japan houses, so I'm getting recommended these a lot. But please, next time, socks!

[@hangswithchristian]

Haha yeah Im Australian so its perfectly normal there though, not the best here. It’s getting so hot here now so I need to always remember to bring socks! Glad you enjoyed the video mate, super appreciate watching 🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵
