My Japanese Apartment Tour 🇯🇵 | Living alone in Tokyo in a tiny studio 🙊

[@AllisoninTokyo]

YAY APARTMENT TOUR MY FAVORITE TYPE OF VIDEO TO WATCH 😇 I'm really excited to move though....all my problems with this apartment are things I can't really show you, like the building itself and location 😅 The interior is great!!! AND!!! thank you guys so much for 11k today 🥰

[@SWMonkeyRaffSW]

Now that you don't live there anymore, could you tell us where it was? Just to compare with other apartments in the same area. I am looking for an apartment to rent for next year. Thanks

[@jenniferwong4530]

Thank you KZbin algorithm for suggesting this lovely channel! I'm a Grandma from Northern Canada and love to see how young people are doing all over the world! WhenI was a young student I had a teeny tiny apartment Overtop of a bookstore. I have fond memories of those years! Your apartment is adorable. You've used every square inch, but it's not over crowded. It's fascinating to see how people around the world live!🇨🇦😊👵

[@didipooboo]

This is such a lovely comment! Hope you're doing well Ms. Wong!

[@MulinaTheAngelWolf]

Okay so like. Your ridiculously good at using space efficiently and it’s so satisfying to see

[@midge007]

Such a cute space! You did a great job! I think here in the part of the US that I live it's like $1200 for a studio! It's crazy. Can't wait to see what you do with your new space!

[@AllisoninTokyo]

thanks!! yeah at 1200 i could get a studio in downtown shibuya or something 😳 crazy

[@maianh9892]

I'm so impressed. Your flat is the same size as mine, but you make it look so much bigger and decorate it so well 😍

[@mhyranthym5235]

Your apartment is so nice Allison!! I just moved to Tokyo myself and I’m really struggling with how to design my apartment lol. I am not good at interior design and I don’t know how to make the most of my space…but this video gave me some great ideas!! Thank you!!! 😊

[@AllisoninTokyo]

Thanks, and welcome!!!

[@haleyh9875]

THIS APARTMENT IS SO CUTE OMG :' D i love your decoration style!

[@chisol3508]

The amount of storage solutions in this space. Wow!

[@ghostbird3651]

you're so extremely efficient with the space you have, incredible haha. For some reason I thought the apartment is much bigger, I think the sectioning helps to give off that vibe too. Fingers crossed for another apartment tour in two months!

[@AllisoninTokyo]

I wish 🥲 thanks!! Just a few more feet of space please 😂

[@AverageBot]

Eventhough it's a tiny space you made a lot of smart decisions to make it into a really nice place. Not sure if I could've done it 😂. Nice video as always and congrats on your 11.1k

[@jenerperico4732]

It is pretty small but you are good at storing your things. I'm glad you are moving to a bigger space. 😊😊

[@ebifried]

wow you really make the most of your door space which is awesome!

[@AllisoninTokyo]

thanks 🥰 my other doors are sliding or they would be monopolized for storage too 😆

[@skystrife1789]

It's cute for me also. And I love your minimalist thingy all around your apartment. 😁

[@asuranrocks]

you're "dining table" is awesome!!

[@AllisoninTokyo]

😎😎

[@jhors7777]

Thanks for posting this. Nice use of your space. I finally bought a bidet and wonder why I waited so long. The bath heat\fill features are interesting.

[@ExiledSwede]

Such a cute living space! Happy to find new youtubers in Japan. I'll hopefully be moving out in the spring and trying to work up the courage to start a channel.

[@gracerussell9488]

How exciting, moving again 😊

[@kristindiamandis4297]

Love the way you used the space

[@andreutormos7210]

I think you did a great job decorating your apartement and fitting so much in that space. The studio area is very cute and seems bigger, thanks for that advice. Also, I love the bathroom area. Good luck with the apartment hunt :)

[@dominikseljan3043]

I like that shelves above your washing machine so much! Nice usage of less space

[@larissashomeinteriors8821]

So cute!! You did such a great job with storage solutions but that kitchennnnn, it's so teenie but props for making it work! Really enjoyed this 🤗

[@AllisoninTokyo]

thanks 😭 yeah the kitchen cant be helped 😭 and i have friends with smaller ones too 💀

[@DaleyDale]

instant sub... you sold me on that genshin impact posters and my childhood anime which is Card Captor Sakura.

[@katalyna_rose]

Good luck on the apartment hunt! Can't wait to see the process, I love moving vlogs lol. Let me live vicariously. As an American who can barely afford a cheap apartment with two roommates, I get it. There's no way I could live alone here in the States anytime in the next decade at least. Happy for you that you can live that dream!

[@AllisoninTokyo]

Thanks, I’m excited and stressed 😂 Yeah American housing is absolutely ridiculous 😭 like tokyo should not be cheaper 😅

[@simchasepler1428]

The updated room tour has made me admire your utilization of storage space lol.

[@gongwiththewind402]

Your apartment is a small, comfortable situation:) Love you use of space!!!

[@Marinas_Welt]

I adore your apartment tour! Such an amazing place - how you've organized it. Thanks for sharing! I am new to your channel and am glad, that I've found you today. I enjoy watching your videos almost whole day 🙂 Looking forward for the new ones and your stories 🤗

[@TheKornbeef]

Looks great!

[@ふじおさん]

可愛いくて、清潔で整理整頓されてる素敵なお部屋ですね😊

[@h42cal31]

Nice little spot! I would have a hard time in the little kitchen space. Good idea with the zones!

[@AllisoninTokyo]

yeah…thats why i dont cook much anymore 😫

[@tarateimouri6711]

What a dreamy house!🥲

[@HowAboutLauren]

This is making me so excited to decorate my own apartment here in Japan. ☺️ This video gave me some great ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@AllisoninTokyo]

decorating is the best part 😎

[@annapotpot]

Happy 11K! Congratulations! ❤️👏 This was a really interesting video! I think you optimized the space very well. 🙂 I'm thinking of buying some furniture soon. My space is pretty small too. Where did you get your bed frame and mattress?

[@AllisoninTokyo]

thanks!! both from nitori! the mattress was the softest nsleep or something and i love it 😂 basically everything i own is nitori and a few ikea and lowya and amazon/rakuten things

[@sunmi00]

I really like the video introducing Japanese apartments

[@princessmononeko7507]

Adorable! 😭😭　I’m working on joining jet as a family of 3 and currently have a whole house I’ve been planning on how to downsize and fit back into an apartment again and I’m nervous but I love how you use your space!

[@AllisoninTokyo]

good luck, I could never imagine 😂 maybe you’ll luck out and get a house 😆

[@MakaLoves]

I loooove your Card Captor Sakura posters 😍😍

[@Cat1184]

I really like your apartment. It’s really cute and you’ve made the most out of it. You even inspired me with your strict section idea when I redecorated my bedroom last year to fit in a small home office area. Although my apartment is much bigger, I never planned to work at home befor covid happened, and therefore didn’t have space for a working desk. But with your videos you gave me some pretty good ideas how I might rearrange my furniture that I have a working section and a sleeping section in my bedroom and it still looks good. So thanks for your inspiration and I’m looking forward to see you moving and decorating that new apartment. Are you planning for another studio or more like an one bedroom apartment? Is that even possible in Tokyo for a decent price? I hope you’ll find something you like.

[@AllisoninTokyo]

Thank you!!! I hope your desk situation works out 👩‍💻 Ehhhh I wanted a one bedroom but I really can't afford it in a decent location 😅 Would need at least 1300-1400 a month for that, so I'm aiming for a bigger studio for now 💪

[@Cat1184]

@@AllisoninTokyo oh wow, that’s a lot of money for rent. But a bigger studio can be nice too, especially with your smart sense for interior. I hope you’ll find something you like. And thanks, yes my desk situation works quite nice and I love it every day I don’t have to go to the office and can still work efficiently ☺️

[@jaxamoose6431]

I love your apartment tours! 💖🌸

[@karmicagam1008]

ugh it’s so cute. 🥺✨

[@bonniepwtf]

You fit in so much stuff, looks great!

[@companymen42]

Wow, I could never do that. Good on you for being able to live that efficiently! The small size of the kitchen would drive me nuts lol

[@mariamperez2099]

Lovely apartment 😍made me so nostalgic from when I was living in Japan, yes you really have to be creative with the small spaces haha I would love to get back in some point again :D

[@AllisoninTokyo]

thanks!! i hope you can ☀️

[@Churumbelita]

Love to see how your space has evolved, Allison! I see you have a wooden topper on your IKEA Raskog cart - do you recall where it’s from? I’ve been looking for one for a while, but haven’t been sure how well they’d fit.

[@AllisoninTokyo]

It's just from Ikea!! It was just next to them at the store so idk what they're called 😅 Sure you could spraypaint it or something to change the color!

[@Churumbelita]

@@AllisoninTokyo Thank you! I’ve had my Raskog for six or seven years, didn’t realize they now sold a top for it! I just ordered one. ☺️

[@ginawilkolak7492]

I stayed in two Airbnb apartments in Tokyo in 2018 and both had the combo washer/dryer. EXCEPT those freaking things took like four hours to do a load and then I still ended up hanging up the clothes for a bit after because they still weren’t dry enough.

[@AllisoninTokyo]

yeah they take forever 😂 i think the new models apparently can do it all in like 2-3 hours which i wanna see 🤔

[@sadetasinanovic565]

You did a great job,sweet studio

[@jooshungerecker-debruin5812]

I just yesterday watched your previous apartment tour in 2021 and I laughed so hard as I saw your showe closet now. In 2021 you said you could fit 12 pairs in there. Well you showed your mini self from 2021 that there is more space 😅

[@yudokunahana345]

i just started watching your videos and i love it so much!! +1 subscriber ! you’re exactly what i want to be older ;)

[@AllisoninTokyo]

thank you 🥺

[@dianebaker5243]

Loved how you done dedicated zones in your cute apartment. Exciting to see your next place. 👍🥰

[@AllisoninTokyo]

thanks 🥰

[@sonnyc.9259]

Allison is such a badass, awesome vid girl. It's so interesting seeing how people do it but you have great organizational skills.

[@AllisoninTokyo]

hell yeah 😎😎😎

[@nannaff]

Exciting to hear about your move! I just published my first vlog about my travel to Japan two weeks ago, and it was really your videos that inspired me to make it and make more Japan vlogs in the future. Love your video style! 😊

[@willitosanton]

Too small for me to live in for me nut the price you pay is so much cheaper than a similar space in Miami! Thanks for the insightful tour!

[@Peaches100]

Very cute ... well done!!!

[@Wish7s]

Thanks for the video! I'm moving to Tokyo soon and this video gave me a lot of ideas for how to layout an apartment of this size! ^-^

[@galespressos]

Hi Allison, you apartment is bigger than mine was but you’ve got luxury too. Oooooo, love your bath tub. The nice ones are one of the luxuries of Japan that make going back home for many people who have lived in Japan tsurai, or uncomfortable. We miss the Japanese style bath (unless you are one of those super tall people who couldn’t fit in the bath). 😅 However the apartment spaces are claustrophobia inducing. Allison did great with the “zones”. One of mine was too small to do even that. The whole apartments have often been smaller than our closet back home or smaller than children’s room spaces (back home the child’s room was often smaller). As Allison said, the six mat or 22 squ meters seems or is a NORMAL average size and you can go a lot smaller. Mine were smaller, one was way smaller, as in less than half Some luxury places are bigger. It is for single people, because it is thought that single people don’t need space. The space is supposedly averaged per person for couples or families, but in reality many of us need space such as a living kitchen dining etc area and some natural light if we are to live some years and not become a sick, a nutcase,or develop other mental issues. It would also be nice to invite people over too, but Tokyo has a cafe culture or bar culture so people meet there. We don’t have our own space to create in and share with others. Of course it can be fun to join friends in a cafe and try out different places….but prices add up, so some people stop meeting friends if they can’t afford it. So there are pluses and minuses to everything and everywhere. Side note: Cleaning and mold is an issue with the lack of air flow, and cockroaches can be an issues hiding in small places and in stuff that is packed in.

[@LadyGoggles]

Love watching the house (er, studio!) tour - you have a very cute style. I love the idea of zoning everything, too; I'll have to steal that for my own place :) Do you plan on staying in Tokyo, or moving elsewhere?

[@AllisoninTokyo]

Definitely still Tokyo!!! Probably won't even move very far from where I am now 😅

[@izumiruki]

Crazy how I guessed it to be JPY80,000 a month! It's a really nice size apartment, not too big but not too small either. It's too much money for me to pay as a student from Malaysia so I've settled for a room in a sharehouse just a few stations away from Ikebukuro. But I'm in the process of moving into my new apartment which will be closer to my work place so I'm excited! It's no where near as big as your place but at least it's a few stations away from Shibuya -- my fave place! 🙆🏻‍♀️

[@nothatgxrl]

OH MY GOD! Yes! Create spaces! I could never explain it properly yet I've always done that with my room to separate the desk (study/work) area from the bed area. Your brain creates two imaginary rooms just by placing furniture correctly. Also rent is not bad at all, pretty similar to prices in my country. How expensive was it to move in? (You know, all those hidden fees).

[@AllisoninTokyo]

Moving is crazy here, about 4-5 times the monthly rent in initial fees/deposit 🫣

[@ジョナサン-p3m]

I LOVE your apartment, it’s really serene, and I feel like it’s so good for studying/working 😁 Thank you for taking time and showing us! Also, I like playing Genshin Inpact, too 😁 My favorite character is Itto!

[@AllisoninTokyo]

Thanks!! Yeah it’s relaxing 😎 But the lighting sucks so much it’s hard to do work 😅 My favorite is Ayato 😎

[@alexs1883]

Hello Allison! You're so resouceful; you made it look like a coozy cute place to live in 😍 I'm moving to Tokyo soon and I was wondering if you've got any advice on how to find an aparment. Thank you in advance!

[@SatchPatch25]

Wow you have so many shoesss! Where from FL?? I was born and raised in Orlando but i had to move in 2017 because of how insane rent got! I had my daughter in 2015 and I couldn't even wrap my head around how i would survive. Probably would have to work two full time jobs plus have to pay daycare in order to work those jobs, pay rent just to lay my head for a couple of hours and never get to see my daughter. I now live in Puerto Rico and it's so much easier. It's crazy to think about paying car insurance, renters insurance, etc now after living somewhere else.

[@Chuck8541]

800 bucks for an apartment in a major world city? Great deal!

[@danielwalker26]

Very cute apartment.

[@wassilam9280]

I think your apartment is super cute, you did a great job ! Are Internet and water, electricity etc... included in the rent ?

[@meliquinnxx]

Love u💜😍 i hope you find a bigger place soon :)

[@AllisoninTokyo]

thanks ☀️

[@rauna_5708]

Such a lovely house! Just like the owner🥺❤️ I live in a huge house and I hate it! Can’t wait to live in Japan in one of those tiny tiny places 😍

[@AllisoninTokyo]

oo thanks 🥺 yeah id be overwhelmed if i had a huge house now 😂

[@3210vca]

it's all in the attitude. If the place is fine for you, then its's the best that anything else could be. There are depressed and dissatisfied people living in far more spacious and luxurious spaces in West Central Park. But this gal is fine.

[@Talhn]

Makes me feel a bit embarrassed to think of how spoiled I was as a child. I had an 'apartment' and my bedroom was easily 6x larger than this room plus a big 'living room' area and my own bathroom. All it was missing was a kitchen tbh but 8 year olds probably shouldn't have kitchens... I like how cozy the room is. It really makes you think about the essentials and not have junk drawers everywhere.

[@handley2645mh]

It is cute if crowded.

[@susanma4899]

Could I live there? Yes, but my place would be way more minimal, lol. I think I would be sitting on the floor. Or maybe use my bed as a couch by day.

[@galespressos]

It’s CUTE. 😊

[@Zeldagirl64]

Great watch

[@sunmi00]

Congratulations on moving

[@mryuice]

Hi! I would like to know, by that price do you get free internet or do you have to install internet usage yourself? I want to know how much it costs to install the internet. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE 🥺 your apartment is just my DREAM so cute ! 🥹

[@lisabiesterfeld9925]

I think your apartment is so adorable are you staying in the Tokyo area when you move and are you going to get yourself a larger apartment this time

[@AllisoninTokyo]

staying!! hopefully it will be a little bigger but I can’t afford much 😂

[@stephaniemedina1848]

Good job 🐱🌹

[@supavln]

just came across this video and this is great!! i live in sf and pay 1000 for an inlaw room smaller than this lmao 😢

[@CrystalLynJohnson]

Beautiful ❤❤.

[@galespressos]

It’s interesting about the cheap vs expensive. When I came to Japan, a USA person would have considered the 800 price in Japan for a closet “apartment” to have been extremely expensive and nonsensical. Now the prices for housing in the USA AND OTHER PLACES HAVE BECOME INCREDIBLY IMMORAL AND IRRESPONSIBLE relative to the lower pay rungs, and even middle pay rungs; it’s sad and disappointing to see. So now, the 800 price in Japan is considered cheap. It is very interesting to see that change. Anyhow, I was always impressed, despite 5inking the small space had the potential to lead to mental issues, that most people were housed in Japan, even if in a small space. The mold is a health issue Pugh.

[@mjnyc8655]

It seems that Allison has made lemonade out of her lemon of an apartment. She'd make a great wife!

[@joannike689]

May i ask what is in between of refrigerator and oven?

[@devidevidevina]

May I know what camera and software to edit video?

[@bebozaki3610]

i feel like it's a sims tiny house

[@lidiakabat7675]

There should be more furniture for all you stuff.

[@yolandasanchobenitez4897]

Hi Allison, how old are you? How way you made to live in Tokyo and study there? Please my daughter want too in a futur

[@MissKoi]

I really like your appartment. The kitchen area is a bit small for my liking, but I like to cook 😅 Is it hard to get an appartment if you're a foreigner rn? What's your experience? Did you start looking?

[@AllisoninTokyo]

It’s harder but it really depends a lot on how close to a “model foreigner” you are lol 🥲 Since I go to a famous school I think it’s easier for me to get accepted

[@franklambeth1148]

10000000/10

[@amandasteven1400]

well this was fun... tnx 4 the tour. heres an idea, instead of moving into a BiGGER apartment? jst eliminate some stuff. i mean, u have more cloths and BAGs than me and any THREE of my friends :)

[@fs8549]

You’re apartment is fine even though I wasn’t able to see the balcony 🤦🏻‍♂️ You’ve a lot of stuff if U could eliminate or sell …You would come to realize how big the apartment is .. Hopefully the next apartment You talked about might be enough but l doubt 😔

[@trustme2001]

Homegirl cute.

[@kuromi0777]

How much do you get paid as an English teacher?

[@joltjolt5060]

How wonderful Japan is to make apartments that poor people can afford, whether you're in college or not.
