[@LivvyAlexW]

I pay $1400 in rural Canada. I would rather pay a little more and live on the outskirts of Tokyo

[@TokyoLens]

trust me you don't want to live on the outskirts While tokyo might seem crowded during the daytime, everyone goes home to the "outskirts" at night meaning a) the outskirts are WAY more crowded b) Trains to get there are often packed especially at peak times" c) Tokyo itself is rather quiet after business hours d) outskirts often means a variety of other increased expenses like the need for a car, or 2-3x the transportation cost going to and from etc.. Its better to find a quiet area IN tokyo, and enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with it I visited a friend in"quiet" Saitama and it was hell even on the weekend, the trains out there (and back) were weirdly crowded (and few), then we had to wait 40 minutes for a simple restaurant for lunch, and hit a shopping center and supermarket to grab supplies and food, and from the parking lot to the shopping center itself, it was painfully crowded at least in Tokyo, you can avoid the crowds if one spot is too crowded, go to another if your area in the outskirts is crowded theres no escape youre stuck in it

Nice to see Sherry again in a video. Looks like a nice little apartment. I think it's nice that you are not passing through the kitchen to get into the main living space and that they are completely separate. Having seen the live streams on Sherry's channel where she assembled some of the furniture it's nice to see it all came together ok. But we did tell you that you needed to get her something like a 8ft Snorlax plushie as a moving in gift😂

[@TokyoLens]

Hope you enjoy living there!

[@pockypimp]

[@robinhumburg1400]

I love what Sherry did with her place. I was trying to figure out the best use of the space for me and I would have been using a bookshelf next to the kitchen/living room divider door for additional storage space, but other than that I would like it just the way she has it. I thought the extra chair was for visitors until she explained about the dining area. Still, the chair is perfect for both uses. In such a central location, $600 is an absolute bargain!

[@briank8679]

I would absolutely pay $600/mo to live there! That same apartment here in LA would be like...$1400, and would be in a bad area. Gosh I'm always so jealous of Japanese apartments.

[@ChiChisStreams]

Awesome video, I hope you fixed that crack on the door frame 😂 That's not a bad place, and if the views are as good, $600 a month isn't bad! Love the little useful things that Sherry was able to get. We bought the same projector to use at our hotel stays in Japan when we come over 😅😂

$600 😭 once again complaining from ireland because there are no 1 bedroom apartments here for less than €900 and they're obsessed with building family homes instead of homes for singles/couples. this would be my ideal apartment but it just doesn't exist here.

[@katherineburtt2502]

Same here in the Western US. An apartment like that is probably a little easier to come by in my city than yours, but it would cost a minimum of $1200, probably more if the location is especially good, and be marketed as “luxury housing.”

is always so interesting watching tokyo house tours, its nice seeing it before and after furnished, though is funny how different it is from my first week in my current danish apartment, I literally had a matress on the floor in what is now my office/dining room, a single purple side table, a power strip, and an old wooden dining chair

[@icebalm]

Wow, an amazing spot. If I could move to Japan I would love a place like that! Congrats Sherry!

[@JeremyLevi]

That's a great price for a central location in a top tier city, even accounting for the fact that Tokyo is generally less expensive than others. Well worth a few small initial headaches with broken stuff needing to be repaired right away. The size is ample for a single person and I'd especially appreciate the large closet. I also totally agree with needing a comfy place to relax, read, and dine, although personally I would have gone with more traditional furniture like a Kotatsu and a futon to allow more flexible use of the limited space. I'd probably go with an L-shaped desk in the area where she has the bed and have some sort of free standing divider or folding screen to help delineate working space, leaving the rest of the main room free as a separate living space with the Kotatsu as the central feature. I spend a lot of time working from home though so I probably need that separation of function more than others might.
