Couple of things: 1. Don't sleep on mushrooms at the grocery store, cheap and delicious when in season. 2. Something you might see in a lot of Japanese kitchens is a tall cart with shelves and a work surface on top. Extra prep space that's adaptable. 3. Tower Knives in Shinsekai can help you with learning to sharpen your knives if you're uncertain. 4. If you want things like tea candles or the like, IKEA is your best bet, near Kaiyukan(or just order it online and miss the meatballs...). 5. Feel absolutely free to disregard any of this advice because I'm obviously living vicariously through you after my plans to go back to Japan fell apart. Really happy for you!

I feel you. I'm going though the same. Just relocated to Tokyo the first of August and took me 6 months finally find an apartment. Rejected 3 times! But now settling in. I just had my furniture shipped from the US and pleasantly surprised on how easy it was, just need patients, time and planning. Going through the same with naviagating all the payment processes as you say are in Japanese and it has taken some time to figure it out. Still not all figured out. Just have to be patient, but I love it here! Really happy now that I'm getting settled in. Good Luck Joe. Seen you series on Made in Japan. Love them.

I’m SO excited for you, Joe! What an amazing adventure. I’m super envious of you getting to live in Japan. Thanks for the links and names of everything you showed. Looking forward to future lifestyle videos as you explore and settle in. I’ll be curious how quickly your language skills improve living there full time, and how you ultimately learn to read Japanese. I’d be curious to know more about some of the technical aspects of the move: how long you can stay, taxes, insurance, medical care, etc.

I had a kinda similar situation where I traveled with a friend 3 times a year to Düsseldorf *city in Germany* to visit little Tokyo which is the Japanese quarter in that city. And after 5 times I was talking to the friend like > ok we can travel there x amount of times and cry every time we have to leave and go back to Frankfurt or we just move there. In June we will move there. So when u were releasing the video that you wont travel to japan anymore I felt that. Loving the new video though more. The thoughtfulness of most Japanese products always struck me as a minimalist.

Wellcome to Osaka. I am a catholic priest from Spain who lives in the Cathedral of Osaka. I arrived to Japan seven months ago and I am now learning Japanese at shcool. By the way, the money you had to pay as a gift to the owner of the house for letting you live in his house is called 礼金 (reikin) in English "Key Money"... and yes!!! it is part of the culture. I have been following your channel for quite a long time and I am happy to know that you move to the same place hehehehehe I just started my youtube channel very recently and I am struggling to improve... but now, my most important duty is to learn Japanese... and it is going to take long. Again, thanks for your work. I appreciate it. If you come to the Cathedral, let me know and I will give you a tour around.

First time visiting your channel from Cape Cod, MA., USA. The bones of your apt look really nice for Japan and I am duly impressed w all the research that you did to find quality equipment. When I was young, I also bought a lot of quality things and took care of them. So 4O yrs later, more or less, the ones I chose to keep are still with me and much better than what is available today. Although I do not have a TV, I really like your choice of TV stand especially that it is solid wood and handcrafted. I think that Japanese attention to detail and craftsmanship is some of the finest in the world. Wishing you all the best on this adventure in Japan.

I went back again 2012-3, really enjoyed living on my own in a lovely small apartment in Kyoto. I am thinking of going back to Japan to live there again. I actually find life very easy there. I have heard though it has changed - many more foreigners. I hope it works out for you. I will follow with interest.

Congratulations on your new life in Japan. welcome. Although there are more and more people who don't do this these days, in Japan there is a custom of greeting people when they move into the next room. In an apartment, the rooms are on both sides and above and below. We go to greet them with gift-wrapped boxes of sweets that cost about 500 to 1000 yen. You introduce yourself and tell them where you are from and what you do. You tell them that if they have any concerns, feel free to let them know. Japanese people tend not to complain right away about the noise you make; they only complain when they can't stand it anymore, and by that time there's a big gap between them. If you are unsure about the language, you can give them a note.

Traditionally was soba. Anything is fine, really, as long as it’s thoughtful, useful, and DOESN’T last (so ppl tend to just give food). You don’t want to make them feel obligated to keep something that lasts. This can be said for most gifts that are given to lighter acquaintances in Japan.

I’m from Tokyo and most of my family and friends live around there but if I were a foreigner who doesn’t have strong connections with certain city, I would choose Osaka because cost of living is much cheaper than Tokyo. Rent for example, Osaka is about 70% or so. You can find nice, inexpensive apartments with short train ride from downtown. Also, people in Osaka are more friendly. They don’t much hesitate talking to strangers so making friends may be easier than in Tokyo where people are reluctant to communicate with strangers unless it’s necessary. If you like traveling, there are many tourist destinations in Western Japan and Osaka is closer to them. Don’t get me wrong, I love Tokyo. It’s an exciting big city, but Osaka has lots of attractions too.

There are many convenient kitchen goods to utilize such a small kitchen. Like you say, many people use a dish rack that can be set inside the sink so water drops directly to the sink. Also, I recommend a cooktop cover plate that can make more prep space when the cooktop is not used. A hanging rack set with upper cabinets is also popular item to create storage space. 😊

I don't have words for how happy I am to see this! Congratulations Joe - I'm so pleased for your new start in Japan! I can completely relate to the level of how mind-boggling it is to be unable to read any of the admin (or even street signs) at a glance! I completely underestimated it when I first moved to Japan too. I can really recommend WaniKani for learning those kanji and becoming literate! 🤓 The estate agent lawyer reading out the entire contract was quite special - Japan never ceases to amaze 😅 The apartment looks like the dream though, and it's real inspiration for when I finally get and set up my own place there! I've spent a good number of hours in Bic and Yodobashi Camera picturing what a future life may look like too, and you're now there building it! It's so deserved and I couldn't be happier for you. I've also come to appreciate once again just how articulate you are in all your explanations; hopefully this will remain over the years even as Japanese English begins to infiltrate! ☺️ Anyway, long-time fan but rare commenter, wishing you all the best!

Tip for the TV, regardless of brand, they usually have a way too vibrant mode out of the box to have "more color" than competition. But it's best to change the video mode to cinema (or filmmaker mode if your TV had it) for a much more realistic color representation.

Loving this style of content Joe, glad to see you got your own hairdryer! Does this mean we won't be seeing anymore on threads? I have an idea for you! If you've got friends or family at home in London who have access to your belongings, why not see if they'll sell your PS5 for you and then transfer you the cash so you can purchase one over there? Insanely jealous overall that you're out there living the dream. I can't imagine how stressful and scary it is.

that panasonic dryer is my favorive. My hair becomes shiny and silky after using it. it's a bit expensive though. i'm using Panasonic fridge, washing machine and tv for 20 years , never broken.
