My Small House in Tokyo, Japan

[@gardengalsu]

*Being young AND owning your own home is to be congratulated!👏* I love the idea of a branch.

[@TokyoBTM]

Thank you 🥺

[@whirlwindofmemories]

Can I say Meng is so cute! Him with his plush toy is so cute. I’m so happy that Meng is doing so well. I’ve been enjoying this channel for awhile, it always gives off that feel good vibe and Andrew and Meng always make their viewers feel apart of their like inner circle 😙

[@TokyoBTM]

Awww thank you!!! ❤❤❤

[@evalinez]

​@@TokyoBTMWhats the name of your cozy friend...? 💙🤗 Congrats on your new home!!

[@ahy4234]

He is absolutely adorable. And how perfect his English language is - something I don't think comes naturally to a Japanese person. I follow Yuzuru Hanyu because he is also such a fascinating personality and I always smile so much when he tries to speak English.

[@cuppeach6880]

I think he's disgusting and superficial. Gays are usually very intelligent, civilized, educated. He seems abusive, toxic, evil and likes pretending he's a 15 year old little girl with his "cute plush" teheheheheeheh. Whats he going to do when he's 50? Still act like a 15 year old girl with a plush toy? He has LOTS of internalized homophobia and hates himself which is why he looks and acts so emotionally stunted. Everyone should stay away from him. He shouldnt be allowed to be in a gay relationship until he realizes he's a piece of shit that needs theraphy.

[@TokyoBTM]

Thank you all so much for your sweet messages. 😇 I appreciate your positive feedback, as it has increased my confidence in my decision.

[@HenryFL1]

Japan homes 🏠 are WAY more advanced than American homes . Price wise we are surprised how affordable it is - we thought homes there were much more . Thank you for sharing everything with us ! We met you guys at Pride and always look forward to your videos ! ❤

[@TokyoBTM]

Thank you!! TOKYO can be very expensive too. It's great that there are many options to choose from

[@Strange_Boyyy]

I actually love this type of content - on living situations, financial, employment, practical stuff - rent, accommodation, typical spending in a day (

[@ArrowDynamics88]

What an adorable place, It looks so warm and inviting! Also, 1. I ❤️ the 🌈 socks and 2. You've got some fantastic comic timing as a video editor. Keep up the good work! :)

[@TokyoBTM]

Thank you so much! So happy that you enjoy my editing

[@digby_dooright]

@@TokyoBTM Meng: What do you call this? Andrew: A bathroom... 😂

[@arishem555]

Congrats on your own house! Your own place always bringing peace and calm vibes.

[@Joey-qt7mt]

Cute! Your house is super nice - congrats on the purchase. Buying a house in Tokyo is no mean feat! Love the branch decoration.

[@cleuziosilva7668]

I feel so happy for knowing that both of you got your own places! Love your channel, guys

[@BishopXeno]

Been watching alot of your videos i think Meng have the same looks as plastique tiara.

[@carpepedes3520]

Great house, Meng! I love your couch and your socks! So great that you and Andrew share so much of your day to day Japan experiences with us. Great vids!

[@Aziza_Nyxie_Jynx_Ashling]

Omg I feel the bed vacuum thing! I have 2 bed vacuums lolz I tried eucalyptus spray, lavender spray, lavender vanilla spray, it just made allergies worse and skin irritated. I need the bed vacuums it a much better fix.

[@TokyoBTM]

Absolutely!!! Spray doesn't work!

[@starfox9894]

Love the bed vacuum. I need one 😮 And we used to separate the kitchen and dining/ living room in the US. We do not anymore

[@dandes5620]

What a great video Meng!! So interesting to know more about housing in Japan. i'm from Montréal Canada and i live in a condominium. It's very interesting to compare the way Japanese people live. Please continue to make great videos like that! I so love your bright and smiley personality! :)

[@TokyoBTM]

😁😁😁🫶

[@walterprice9775]

Meng, your house is amazing! And I love all your Pokèmon plushies! So adorable!

[@loriannrichardson7644]

In NYC we do separate our trash; paper, cardboard, plastics, bottles, metals, and soon food-stuff.

[@chrispnw2547]

Thank you so much Meng for the home tour.

[@wendyshoowaiching4161]

Install the ventilation fan square box style12" in all your rooms : Khind brand is quiet. Reverse it to extract outside air. You don't need air cond. Save a lot of energy cost. Healthy air whole day

[@djlondon7956]

Aww Meng you must be so proud of your new place, it's brand new and shiny and awesome! So happy for you! ❤🎉

[@Baronsmix]

Watching this video made my day a lot brighter. I love how honest you were, and it made me think if should I move and buy a house in Japan because yours is so cool! 🤭

[@Strylover]

This was fascinating to watch. Nice to see some of the ways that people live in other countries. Thanks for posting.

[@PeterJAebi]

thats a cute house. the funniest thing is, we are separating the trash very strictly in switzerland too. and me i have the same strategy (maybe its because i am working with my chinese friends since 20 years) with the paper bags... 😎.

[@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaron]

That door opening was very "Architectural Digest" house tour haha. Congrats Meng! 🎉

[@alanbiernacki639]

Great house, congratulations Meng! Lots of happiness in your new home!

[@adamtanpahawa850]

Sometime i quite enjoy video when meng and andrew going for a walk or visiting interesting place in japan.since i live in Malaysia i always dream to visit japan,so is quite fun to see them hangging out around japan😂

[@TheAntiqBoutiq]

He’s so cute. I wonder if he’s into older Italian American Tony Soprano types 🤔 I agree that the top floor is meant to be the main bedroom. That’s why the laundry facility is there too.

[@adglobal]

Congrats on buying your home... thank you for sharing all the details. Great video.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Japanese toilets are a parallel dimension and we love them for it 🔥

[@TokyoBTM]

Simply magic

[@kimemerson5732]

Meng, I LOVE your house!! I hope you will be happy there, give yourself a chance to settle in, owning your own home is the best thing I ever did...I'm in the US, raised my daughter in this home, and she and her husband live with me and we all have raised my two grandchildren here as well, along with dogs, cats, birds, my fish pond of fish and frogs...35 years of joy!! This was a terrific video, by the way, thanks so much!

[@TokyoBTM]

Your home sounds so dreamy. 🩷Thank you

[@kimemerson5732]

@@TokyoBTM 💓Thanks for responding Meng! You will be happy where there is lots of love! I hope you achieve all your dreams, you are such a sweet man!

So cute. The house and the owner.

[@palacioed17]

I love your house, Meng! Thank you for showing it 😍 it was so nice to hear you thought about a room for future kids 😍

[@TokyoBTM]

Thank you!!! I am happy to hear

[@fidelminaocampo391]

Your house is very clean and cozy👍☺️

[@vasilii3750]

really exciting! love ur eco dedication, i m really into recycling myself ❤

[@XYZRobZombie]

I just want to say, Quagsire is my favorite Pokémon so i was happy to see you have a plush of it

[@chrisonYTtour]

Congrats on the new crib… hope you get to christen it soon 🥳

[@BeautifulLei-gd4rf]

I absolutely love your home. Thank you so much for allowing access. Bless❤❤❤

[@KriiiTravelNut]

I love this small house! I'm thinking of eventually buying property myself once I get PR/Citizenship. But probably not a house. I think I still like apartments better because I want everything in one space and I think as a single female, there's more safety because of things like the autolock in mansion buildings. But it's really interesting to see little details, especially things like the money talk. Thank you so much for this video!

[@oenrob98000]

Congratulations Meng! Your 🏠 looks Uhmazing! ❤❤❤ Enjoy your own sanctuary! 🎉

[@TokyoBTM]

Thank you !

[@James1701e]

Congratulations Meng🎉 Your house seems lovely! We in England🇬🇧 have a somewhat similiar situation with rubbish & recycling for most boroughs around the country set by their local council. We have 3 separate coloured wheelie bins: 1 for general household rubbish collected fortnightly; 1 for recycling i.e. plastic/glass bottles and tin cans (need to be washed) cardboard, paper collected alternate fortnights; 1 for garden/green waste once a month. There may be the various fees on top of your mortgage when purchasing a house but goodness Japan's interest rate is very low and a great monthly repayment too! Enjoy your new home.

[@LinasLinas-vs2xv]

Hi how are you? A small house in Tokyo is a real paradise. For one person, a small house is definitely suitable. I really like small houses, and especially this little Tokyo house. When I come to tokyo, the capital of Japan, I will definitely want to see this house. Please.

[@bettybert9819]

Well……aren’t you just the cutest thing!!💖

[@TokyoBTM]

Awww so sweet 🫰

[@sandiepetersonsellsraleigh]

The toilet room in America is called the water closet. You are more apt to have a water closet in the Southern homes than the Northern homes and usually a higher price point.

[@Jackson-g4u]

Congratulations on having your new home - i think it will be exciting when you entertain there ! I do enjoy house/apartment tours. I am looking forward to my second visit to Tokyo next spring ~

[@josiegardiner]

Wow! I live in New Zealand. That house is cheap compared to buying a house here. You also need 20% deposit that you have saved up of your own money. It has so many modern conveniences and up to date technology and the way you recycle your trash is phenomenal. The house might be small but it has everything for a single person. Even a small family with two small children would be very comfortable there, especially if both parents are working. You could easily upgrade in a few years to a larger house. Thanks for showing us your house. I wish I could come live in Japan.

[@wakandaforever5328]

Such a beautiful home Meng!!! Thank you for showing it to us❤❤❤❤

[@quantafreeze]

Home owner era! Love it!

[@xoanwahn]

This is such a good video! I've been flirting with buying a house in the next few years, when I'm more settled, but now I don't know. The property tax, plus city taxes, plus having to take care of stuff and deal with all the issues personally if something breaks... It really adds up, money are responsibility-wise. I like the freedom of being able to decide after a year if I want to move on or not.

[@blueyonder1233]

Great video guys. So many things to comment about, like WTF is that a second bath in the kitchen? Andrew's quicker than instant response to not been invited to the dinner. Meng's big reveal, that he loves the trash separation rigmarole! Go with a silk or plastic plant or a dead branch.And did your bathroom/shower room have that special groove floor with the smooth raised squares where the water drains away perfectly?

[@davidharry9390]

Congratulations 🎉❤ on your new home! Very eligible bachelor! 😊

[@Mysticcrochet]

my god I love your aesthetic! my favorite part is the living room it looks so beautiful! also could you do a tutorial on how to use the washing machine? I have the exact one and I have no idea how it works lol. congrats on owning your house! so mature of you

Congratulations and thank you for opening up your house to everyone. 😊

[@topogigio95y]

congratulations for your achievement Meng ^.^

[@crecasens]

This is really good and informative!

[@tomyoung2935]

Cute house and happy for you. Buying a house is also a good investment for the future in case you want to sell and move to another city or neighborhood. Congratulations on your new house. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@DLo-y7d]

very awesome! Since the toilet and sink are separate, I guess you could also call that part the "powder room"

[@JourneyWithUs13]

❤Love the Japan Rubbish 🗑 Situation 😊 Lovely Home 🏡

[@evelynberrios8164]

Love the house. You keep it perfectly organized. Is also surprisingly spacious!!!! However, I love shoes and 3 tiny closets would not house them 😢.

[@lunaenter4042]

The house so small for. And I love seeing natural weather and get lot of fresh air as well btw they actually check your trash?. Its ashamed but I cannot fit living in Japan.

[@CanadaKeith]

Congratulations Meng on you New Home!!

[@rickgarms7656]

Wow Meng, what an extraordinary step! And a 'smart' home ta boot. Those closets were definitely NOT built for Queens (or Princesses) LOL. If they had been, they would've been 3 times the size...did someone say size Kaween? Congratulations Meng. Cheers Guys.

[@dagontheseatitan7846]

Great video guys and I think the house is nice and cozies and I love the advice when it comes to buying a house in Japan.

[@arishem555]

if you have your backyard and some lawn on it - you can probably have also composter and all those leftovers to go through it. and once it is ready, - spread across your lawn, - natural fertilizer

[@eskimberly7424]

Cool place! I love all the technology integrated into the house. Seems really affordable, too. I think me and my husband could live there fairly well.

[@erich7861]

Very quaint!

[@thejapanarchocommunist]

I also bought a house in Yokosuka, but tbh if I could I would've bought a small farm so I could've done sustainable farming and just been self sufficient, and just gave away the rest of my produce I didn't use to the community free of charge.

[@cheezarose]

All the things he is talking about in this video is also how it is here in Europe in many countries. Separate bathroom and toilet,separate kitchen and dinning, mandatory separate trash in almost the same categories.

[@BarryWaterlow]

Lovely place. Congrats!

[@calboy2]

love the house....needs some color on the walls...white walls are killing me!

[@TokyoBTM]

Thank you! So sweet of you

[@Lindsaybkk]

That is a very fancy compact house but larger than normal for 1 person Traveled to Japan many (~30+) times from here in Bangkok. I love the thought that goes into every little detail of Japanese life both work and home. One thing I regret is selling my house in Edens Landing, Brisbane Australia because it was unique and had a great view. Thanks ✌ Subscribed ✅ Love your video ❤😘

love watching your videos cute space america in the house lol

[@tonjiacooper9781]

In New York America we do sort out paper, plastics and regular trash depending on the day. However, they are not strict . The most is a fine depending on the sorting. Congrats on your new place It is really nice. Meng is so nice .

Congrets Meng with your new house :)

[@jannatsiddique2744]

Congratulations for owning a new home 🎉🎊👏 it's so comfortable living in your own home ❤🏡 I bought a house 5 years ago and I'm so glad I made that action! Because of Covid-19, i was forced to work at home for a while. Unlike living in a small apartment, I never got bored working at home 🏡

[@wehojm7320]

Wow! Great video. Congratulations on your new house. I bought my condo in 2002 and I’m so grateful I bought back then because I wouldn’t be able to afford the same place now because the value of the property has doubled. I agree owning a home has its pros and cons.

Guys can you recommend me some other youtube channels that revolves around lifestyle/ culture like Tokyo BTM? I’m obsessed with Andrew and Meng and can’t get enough of this type of content

[@user-vx7do5sr5q]

I think that one of the plus sides of owning a house is that you don't have the stress of maybe having to find a new place every time the lease expires.
