Finally, someone living in Japan with an apartment that actually looks like it gets cleaned more than once a year. Great job, girl!

WOW. Just WOW. This apartment is beautiful and looks brand new. I can hardly even believe it. I'm about to leave for Japan in 3 days to teach and I'm hoping the quality of my apartment is even a fraction of this lol
@Hanayanaa10 жыл бұрын
it was pretty brand new when I moved in. It's called a Leo Palace and they are all around Japan I believe. Not all new of course so hopefully wherever you go it's not bad. Good luck!

Hey girl! So, I just moved in a week ago. I learned some helpful things that you probably already know but I'll put them here just in case. :) For the shower, you should put that top cycle on for 30 min after you use it (dries the room and prevents bacteria from growing) and make sure you lock the door each time with that little switch at the top. For the dryer, the ドライ setting is the gentlest (delicates). and ガンコ is for strong washes, 毛布 for big washes. :) Thanks again for all the info! 助かったよ!

That's incredible. I teach at a university in China, and it's one room. No porch, no kitchen, no living room. It's just a room with a bed, table, and desk. There is a shared washing machine for our entire floor. You pretty much have to eat out every day since there is no kitchen or refrigerator or anything. That's the difference between developed and developing countries.

Wow. This looks like the Japanese architects have a better Idea how to use space. They're wise with the nooks and crannies that recess or fold into walls, and they know how to break up the place so everything is in different areas. Really efficient! Versus a typical US equiv. like a studio apartment where you have one room for everything and a bath, maybe an alcove for a sleeping area.

I've been to Osaka Castle :) I was there on business for a week and couldn't find anything, so I had to walk around until I found the river and keep it in sight. I wandered up there and ate Octopus Balls, they were surprisingly tasty. My business contact took me out for Italian food the next day (??) That's a neat little apartment and your tour was delightful :)

basically Osaka is a city in the middle of everything but there are some nice sightseeing areas. The Osaka Castle is pretty good but if you are a castle fan you'll know it's not as good as one of the other popular ones (ex. Himeji). Food is pretty much the main culture of Osaka. Takoyaki, Yakisoba, Okonomiyaki and such. I like it here cuz it's in the middle of everything. Plus the people are fun to be around with. At least the ppl I've met.

In the cities the apartments are smaller because of limited space and a lot more single ppl. In the suburbs they have houses and of course in the countryside they have bigger houses.

I live in Osaka but North Osaka. and it's I'm bad with calculating everything but rent is about 550000yen (about close to $600). Buying food in Osaka is cheaper than Tokyo. Overall Tokyo is more expensive than Osaka.

My manager didn't tell me. I guessed a price like 80,000 and she said it is a little more than that due to how close it is to the airport and train. It's like insanely close.

sure. don't live in Tokyo (or any fault lined place) or any place in Japan near the seaside. Osaka so far seems to be great for avoiding those natural events.
