[@GBsPlaceNet]

Truly awful.

[@ManachanJapan]

I actually live very close to where you were staying lol

[@peterq1978]

i think you told us at the start, two people!

[@majvlierop]

Me, myself and I 😅

[@LolaMartinovich]

2 people.

[@maryannewillequer3305]

Watching Phil struggle in the toilet room had me in stitches! Thanks for showing us this apartment. A unique experience, for sure!

[@MsTwister57]

There is no way I could live there for any length of time! I'm not anywhere near as tall as Phil (5'1") but I do have claustrophobia and just watching this made me start feeling like I was starting to suffocate. 6 people??? I'd say 2 at the very most, but in my case, none! 😊 Kudos to you both for being flexible...both mentally and physically!😊

[@sacroyalty]

That’s wild! Thanks for taking the time to pack everything up to show us.

[@potatophil8432]

I reckon the perception of how many people could live here will differ vastly between depending where people are from. 😊

[@nntflow7058]

Yeah, if you grew up in a slum. This is a luxury.

[@johnson.n.a.fog1]

Oh, i love a surprise video on wednesdays. Möh. 🤗I love your style of travelling, dude. Everything in there is put together so geniusly.

[@MichaelWells770]

I don't think I could cope with living in such a small space for more than a couple days, even by myself.

[@FreezyAbitKT7A]

I can't believe it's Shinjuku! Amazing!

[@catherinekenyon7555]

In my experience airplane toilet rooms are larger than that one! 😂😆🤣

[@loris4006]

Oh my stars! I think my RV is bigger than that whole apartment. Especially the toilet area 🤣

[@kbhn82]

Love ur videos ;)

[@IgorEngelen1974]

that bedroom is super cozy!

[@geneard639]

Today I realized I have Claustrophobia. I'm nearly 2 meters tall and my shoulders are over half meter wide. I think my sit upon is so large just getting into the toilet room would be a challenge, getting out a nightmare, and having the door closed.... oh, the horrors. I would have to duck every door lintel. I would have to be wary my sit upon doesn't knock the Ramen Pot off the burner. I am WAY too big for that teeny tiny doll house.

[@aneozivota5699]

This is for big people and you just make the toilet bigger.

[@amaryllisart798]

This looks so much like the Oshiage, Tokyo apartment we stayed in on our trip to Japan!

[@lauras8674]

Loved the video! Too teeny tiny! They should installed a sliding door for the toilet room!

[@chriswlee7181]

Very interesting

[@jenniferkirkland1002]

I could live there solo, but it’s too tight for both me and my husband for a long period of time- we would be at each other before long

[@MsTwister57]

Oh! You didn't mention how much rentals are in Tokyo. I'm assuming it's quite expensive

[@Noblemand]

I get some degree of claustrphobia just by watching that. I cant recall whether it was you or another channel that showed a tiny place that was actually much more spacious than the place you rented there, despite it being smaller by squaremeters

[@memories511]

OMG 6 ARE YOU SERIOUS, NO WAY😮😮

[@margaretgreene1929]

Such fun. The toilet is miniscule and also there is nowhere to wash your hands. When I was growing up in England many homes had separate 'loos'. The rational being that if someone was in the bath another person could use the lav. Thankfully it went out of fashion in the 50s!! Edit: Apologies, this Japanese loo has a washbasin!! I should have known .

[@nobillclinton]

The food vending machines are awesome.

[@ShinbiBelldandy]

I’m totally not surprised it was advertised for six people. Two to a bed. I figured that out quickly. It’s doable but not ideal. Not a lot of privacy & a long wait. I think it’s good for a group of three or a couple. If I were there, I would just utilize the folding bed downstairs to save time & my body from a fall! Haha! On a whole though, I love tiny apartments in Asia. You see people living happy, full lives with less material items. Very inspiring. It makes me look for tiny homes & apartments, but my husband said flat out NO 😂

[@devind132]

I would like to be able to live in a smaller place with less stuff, but that might be too small for me.

[@nntflow7058]

That's because you want a small apartment, and this is a storage closet.

[@Beainkle]

You want small but open concept

[@Mikichan85]

That's impossible

[@Mikichan85]

​@@nntflow7058yeah, exactly

[@tatianamt680]

I lived for 2 months in an apartment pretty much like that one, except mine didn't have a loft and only had a tiny fridge underneath the sink. It was totally comfortable. The only thing I hated was the fact that I love cooking but there was no prep space. I loved it's high ceiling and big sunny windows. But yours was definitely bigger than mine. Oh! The toilet and wash room was only one piece so the toilet was more spacious, there was a tiny closet by the door and no washing machine, but at least there was a coin washer and dryer 2 floors down and a vending machine with cold beverages, even beer, at the lobby. My room at home is twice as big as that apartment, literally, and yet I loved it there.

[@Mikichan85]

Less that this, CONFORTABLE? HOW????

[@cherifoster1114]

It's a wonder Phil doesn't zonk his head every two minutes!!!! YOWWW!!!! 😖😖😖😖😱😱😱😱🤭🤭🤭🤭😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@russellrofe4849]

I live in a very small house by American standards, but that apartment is micro-tiny.

[@RobertSTEINBERG-ve7yl]

A lot of people just use their lofts for storage. Most people have better couches than that. This American lived for four years in an apartment in Nagoya like that but with no loft and only a single bed a chair and a desk. Also my toilet was not in a separate room, it was part of the unit bath. You go to work, party a little, and come home, turn on the air con, take a shower and go to sleep and in the morning go to work…. By the way, it was only $235 a month.

[@billgracey6369]

I have lived in an apartment not much larger than that in the Philippines. They are cheap, less than $200 a month, but not very big! Barely enough space, really, for two adults. The apartment we have in Baguio, now, is bigger, it's a decent-sized two bedroom and a good-sized bath room, one can fit in without bumping the walls or door! It's not huge, but we don't feel cramped, either.

[@carolinecardoso4313]

Eu amei o tamanho do apartamento. Mas usaria o loft como area de armazenamento. Uma cama com gavetas é essencial pra mim!

[@glsgirl1985]

Zero ppl! This apartment is smaller than my bedroom. I’m very claustrophobic & I don’t think I could live there. It’s pretty cool how they use a limited space👍🏻

[@desktopkitty823]

I could do it. My first apartment used to be dorms. Each individual dorm had been renovated into a tiny (approx 16 sq m) apartment. I lived there for 2 years. But I'm only 1.47 m (4'10") so such a small space probably feels different for me.

[@chriswlee7181]

Nice couple

[@LythaWausW]

Thank you for this - I love this journey. However last night I had a nightmare that I was arrested and had to go to jail. My jail cell looked a lot like your apartment. I mean, there was one room with a huge window but I couldn't see out it nor open it. The jail employees had English accents so I couldn't understand them. Oh, and I was innocent.

[@MrNiceguyjin]

You’re in my neighborhood! 😂

[@ginnyberg9271]

The sad thing is is that I live in a tiny house, but for some reason that just seems so much more tinier I think because the design wasn’t done correctly like knees hitting to go to the toilet or they could’ve went all the way across with the countertop or all the clutter or my head hitting if I sat up in the middle of the night and the sad thing is, it’s expensive so that’s like what’s expected

[@charliebecker9391]

My Sister In Law lived in the same sized Apt in Seoul, S. Korea. When my wife and i visited, the space was maxed out. Many Young Couples, Office Types and Professionals, buy these Apts because of the high cost of living in the City, where they work.

[@Mikichan85]

But that is NOT a life! It's like pay 300€ for 0,5 Liter of milk because... Na ja, too much cost for producing! I don't care! It's the base of live, CANNOT be expensive!

[@klausklausen1700]

Zum piepen :-) Ich finde, ihr solltet noch vier Leute rein bitten und ein weiteres Video über einen Tag in der "Wohnung" drehen. Hahaha

[@susanbruinooge7122]

How much is the rent? I live in Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama in a place a bit bigger (no loft, I'm disabled but with a large storage room) and I pay 59,000 YEN a month.

[@StopTryingSoHard]

Old building, small AF and how far from the station? This is definitely getting towards the bottom of the barrel other than stuff that's weird and not updated at all. There are 1Rs that get smaller and cheaper, they seem to be the specialty of older single salarymen and some of them are transient apartments, like only used M-F and then they go "home" for the weekend. And the thing is, if you go a few more stations outward, you can double or triple the apartment size for the same money.

[@TheBeatles..]

I think I know this place. Its 1 minute from Ochiai station (Shinjuku). It rented about $500 -$600 (aud) per month (50,000 -60,000yen) in early 2024. Might not be this exact one, but I think i t is. But thats for long term tenants (ie 1 month or more) - dont have a clue re shorter term. It was built as an apartment (!!!!!) in 2017. Was never a house. OMG

[@bkm2797]

Hilarious and Sad, this is an apartment for munchkins, nothing bigger! Can certainly understand why Tokyo is dealing with mental health issues. Have to say it’s a no way for me, even if you were munchkin size, you’d kill each other within a couple of weeks, or at least begin planning too,lol. How much was this ultra spacious suite, thinking you forgot to mention that. Thanks Deana and Phil, your muscles must be aching from scrunching just to get around each other. Makes you really appreciate wide open spaces.💕👍

[@kittyco77]

Well is like living in a campervan 😅🚙 and in fact, is better the camper 'cause you can move!

[@typerightseesight]

it totally reminds me of the lizards and frogs at the pet store. that isle.

[@Mazinholacerda]

six people? no way....

[@monicahubbard6575]

Hello. How much is this per week?

[@suepierce7216]

I'm guessing that apartment will be meant for 2 to 4 people because of the upstairs sleeping area

[@lunamaharuni]

Never heard of a bum gun! Hahaha

[@MonicaAvello-j6h]

No way i could manage to live there. I already feel overwhelmed by the lack of space and you cannot look outside...the bedroom...is so low..poor people...

[@laurenr8935]

How much does this place cost?! I can’t believe it!! You didn’t tell us the cost! No way can 2-6 people live in that place and still have space to put your stuff away! I’m so sorry for people in Tokyo. 😮😢

[@Philyra86]

I was thinking 1 adult and 1 child maybe seeing as there was only 1 chair and 1 sofathingy. Not more than that. But 6? I guess Japanese people usually aren't that big so they might fit in there. And yes i am dutch. If it was for the purpose of a roof over my head i would make it work, but i would drag those matresses down from the upstairs area, seeing as i am nightblind and would absolutely injure myself going to the bathroom.

[@BrettBerryum]

Those “stairs” are reminiscent of a ski boat ladder… the kind that breaks under the weight of my waterlogged girth

[@KYATKAT]

I would live with my hubby and that"s it.. I would have four others for a party .. Lois

[@maxdiggler]

How much is the rent for the week ?

[@jaehaspels9607]

Yeah... no. I couldn't deal w/ the lack of storage cupboards or closets. I can't stand stuff sitting out.

[@mommatanya1]

I could live in that space. My husband and I traveled full time in a camper, then built a tiny house when covid shut down all the parks and campgrounds. We didn't have closets. And we didn't have a lot of "junk".

[@mojames2719]

That’s why Japanese use love hotel

[@freedomdove]

Sure I could live there. Alone. Lol.

[@zippythechicken]

none of that would pass American Building Code... they should have reduced the number of apartments and given just a bit more space. What was the price? I hope it was under $750usd per month

[@DarkResign]

Die Mitte von Shinjuku hat relativ wenig damit zu tun wie Leute wirklich in Tokyo leben. Das ist das absolute herz der Stadt und die meisten Leute leben außerhalb in häusern(die zwar immernoch kleiner sind als der deutsche Standard, aber viel mehr platz haben). Da leben dann zwar auch meistens ganze Familien drinnen, aber ist trotzdem nicht zu vergleichen und das Video vermittelt ein übertriebenes Bild, da die 6 Leute auch nur für Touristen gedacht sind und normalerweise in so einer Wohnung maximal 2 Leute wohnen würden...

[@CallieMasters5000]

That's a deathtrap. And a colon buster too. How would you ever get out of there in a fire?

[@bobmatthews3186]

Why do I think the toilet has a 'drinking fountain' feature on top?

[@hpatterson8812]

6 no way 🤔

[@davesaunders7080]

Apt for 3?

[@GeraldineC820]

I live in Japan and my apartment has longer walk from the entrance to kitchen with 3 steps😂

[@jamesfranklin4549]

Six!!!

[@carolbrewster1907]

To small if have lot I have small house but this to small for me be in willl suit some one pocket and needs😊

[@jamesfranklin4549]

USA, Canada, Germany, and Britain - 1-2. Japan - 4 🤪

that famous TALL Japanese Ball Player could not live in a Apt that small ! Remember ,He was like 7 ' something !!

[@peterq1978]

damn, am 6ft5 Japanese apartments would be almost impossible for me!! i think my feet wouldnt fit in the toilet room""

[@DrGlynnWix]

I'm guessing 1 to 2 people for an apartment that size.

[@KokLeongLing]

Max 2 person

[@jurgengebert4084]

think about 4 Persons

[@johnbrewer5979]

I could not live there

[@luitvogelzang1231]

I think 4 people

[@toidrayton-seymore5009]

No way magic is happening in that bedroom. Lol maybe that's why love hotels exist

[@chriswlee7181]

For 4 people ?

[@LexiSantos]

The bedroom is cozy. I could make it work with one mattress and then space for storage or books

[@RoysMrs]

its not a bath its a Shub.

I bet that apt. isn't cheap either.

[@bigal6755]

This does not even fit one American.

[@nntflow7058]

It fits a dozen of people who lived in a slum though.

[@victorjackson150]

This apartment is bigger and cheaper than my apartments in LA or NY!!! I will take it!!

[@Mikichan85]

No, you must fight for have more rights!! Not for say yes for low standerd under the human being.

[@victorjackson150]

@@Mikichan85 I think your standard from your country and others standards are quite different. I understand that in the US people expect 300 sqm per person. Not ever country or city has that space. And if one is comfortable with all the modern conveniences and in an area one CHOSES to live, then you must be accepting of the choices they make and customs they have.

[@Mikichan85]

@victorjackson150 my standard is the minimum for live. Under the minimum, you cannot live. The example with America don't fit at all... 1) not everyone in America have that standard 2) because it's exaggerated I'm talking to the real minimum. There is a lot of scientific study about. And EVERY ONE said that a close space make crazy the people. Doesn't care if you choose it or you are forced or what else. Doesn't care if you live in a big city or not, the minimum MUST be the same. For the mental health if everybody. Yes, included the big cities "with no space". Read people that defend the life in prison (because that is the micro apartment), it's really really sad... Like heard a black guy of the 1700 said "I'm fine with this life in Slave, I have some food sometimes and I have a rooftop on me." Really really sad. And I'm so pity for you (all)...
