Today I will show you the apartment we are trying to leave when we buy our own. We have lived there for one and a half years already and generally like it but would like our own place. Costing 75,000 yen per month, considering its size, location, and accessibility, it is considered very cheap. Some one-room apartments in Tokyo cost more than that. So, welcome to my home!

I was amazed at how quiet and clean the city was even though it looked cheap, so amazingly quiet and clean... And then you get to the house I thought something happened to the volume on my phone it got so quiet.

“If you open the window you can say hi to your neighbour… so I don’t.” 🤣 😆 I live in Canada, I always love the structure and style of these homes. 😊

Real! Like the slow traffic calming & quiet lifestyle... My California beach car -centric lifestyle has great weather ..but is "crazy noisey" during rush hour...a typical American life plan. ☺. Thanks for sharing your home and the nice clean neighborhood ...well done! Maybe Osaka...I'm retired! Love Tokyo! Ps. Family Mart ... luv it! (:

Yea. If you look hard, you can find a good price even in Tokyo.

$500 sounds great until you realize it comes with a free obake.

$500 is a great deal for a place like that! But I'd imagine the houses in the area are coming up in age?

Hi! I was wondering where this complex actually is. My friend and I are still looking for apartments to stay in Tokyo. Do you think this place is best to live in for more than a year?

@DiscoveringRuralJapan 9 ай бұрын

Hey! This is in Adachi ward, near the Umejima station. We live here for 1.5 years already so yeah it is good, at least for us. The prices seem to drop singificantly if you cross the Arakawa river.

That is awesome, thank you for sharing your living space! If you don't mind me asking, what do the both of you do for a living? Also, do you speak fluent Japanese or some? Were you forced to learn it for work?

@DiscoveringRuralJapan 8 ай бұрын

Hey, thanks for watching! I work remotely as a software developer. My wife works part time as an accountant in a nearby shopping mall. My wife speaks only Japanese. I have studied for two years in Japanese language school in Fukuoka, it was my choice because I wanted to do something new. After I finished the studies I started looking for work and found the company I work for for now, they asked me to move to Tokyo. I am far from fluent, especially when it comes to reading but I get by one way or another.

@@DiscoveringRuralJapan that is amazing, sounds like a journey! And you are living in Tokyo as well, the dream city!! Happy for you! Did you feel like having a Japanese wife made it easier for you to integrate into japanese society? As opposed to a foreign couple trying to move to Japan but is just starting to learn the language?

@DiscoveringRuralJapan 8 ай бұрын

Actually the reason I was looking for a girlfriend in Fukuoka in the first place was to practice my Japanese :D Languages are like STDs - they are waaaay easier to learn if you speak it daily with your partner. So yeah, having a Japanese wife helped me a lot. Actually in my school a good percentage of people who passed JLPT N2 level test were dating Japanese.

@LiveFreeForLife 8 ай бұрын

@@DiscoveringRuralJapan haha that absolutely makes sense! Not only do you get the Japanese girlfriend experience and everything that comes with it but you also get to practice and learn the language easier. I guess it would be much more difficult for foreign couples then, since they can't find a new japanese partner anymore lol

How did you find the apartment? Most agency offers are too high.

@DiscoveringRuralJapan Ай бұрын

I decided what is important for me and what is not. I wanted to be able to travel to my office without train changes (which ended up being not important at all). Then we decided on the Business budget - 80000 tops. We started looking on homes.co.jp, found some places we liked and contacted the agent. They showed us some more offers in that area. Eventually we made a 2 day trip from Fukuoka to see the apartments in person and decided on this one.

The matter is fancy is NOT really necessary BUT neat clean and tidy. Every step is messy and towel on a bed seriously? I'll kill my daughters for that 😅 A place to live should be clean and neat even not fancy.
