Ep 20 - Spidey and Micro Apartment in Tokyo 🏠🕸️ - 12.75sqm / 137.2sqft

[@usui503]

I think this apartment is ideal. However, I also think something is missing. Hmmm...🤔 My journey to look for an ideal Micro Apartment will continue. P.S. This apartment has air conditioning.😎🕷

[@viversimplescarol]

Eu achei ele excelente. Incrível como utilizaram cada centímetro muito bem. Mas eu achei um pouco desarmonico visualmente, as cores e as formas. Dos objetos.

[@michelehewitt9678]

It is lovely has all the things you need 🎉

[@eleonoramaria]

What do you miss ? It's perfect ! 😊 There is also the papestry !!

[@MaryannT]

Does it have a rack or pole for clothes drying? It seems that there is something by the window but I'm not sure. Also, I love the view and the fact one can see lots of skies while drinking their morning coffee. To me this is essential.

[@jenm9006]

Hi Usui, you will find the one that will fill all your needs 🤞but it’s also fun to see all of the Apartment’s Can’t wait to see the next one.Xx💕💕🤗🤗xx

[@ucbearcats1978]

This is my favorite apartment of the ones I've seen so far -- it seems that the designer of the space has actually lived in an apartment, and knows what's needed.

[@irynafedorenko645]

I liked that despite the small size of the apartment, there was a large refrigerator and a high-quality mattress.

[@sabrina_vegan_minimalist]

This is the best apartment you have showed us so far. No loft bed or ladder. A really bathroom with a vanity. You can shave your face and brush your teeth there. A proper kitchenette and lots of storage space. Much more than in your current place. Maybe the style of the furniture gives you the feeling that something is missing. It is not matching. Each item looks different. In your apartment everything matches that is why it looks very tidy and calming

[@АннаМальцева-б5ь]

Мне кажется, из всех квартир, которые Усуи показал, это самая лучшая. Прекрасный район (полагаю, все необходимое есть поблизости), отличная кухня, удачное расположение туалета и душевой, большое окно, место для хранения туалетной бумаги, и... никакого второго этажа с кроватью! Надеюсь, Усуи сюда перееедет.

[@Nata-Vlada]

Мне тоже понравилась эта квартира.👍

[@jibbyfoob]

I like the simple layout of this apartment - it's not fancy but it is functional. I also like how it has all the appliances I would want. I think adding a loft bed would be great for opening up the long narrow space

[@artha86]

Ready to move-in rental 🤩👍 This would be a great place for someone who just move in to a new city and only bring a suitcase..

[@rebenaq4506]

This is one of the best. It has everything. Bit expensive, but they included furniture and location makes for higher rent.

[@shelleykelley3320]

This micro apartment is lovely. The only thing missing is an occupant's personal decorative touch. I always enjoy your content.

[@Saint-nowie]

One of the best micro apartment I had seen so far in this channel rent price is reasonable considering the place is almost fully furnished and located in the heart of Tokyo.

[@desktopkitty823]

Wow, this is ready for moving in! This is what I needed when I moved to my first apartment. I didn't have anything except my clothes. For the first couple months I slept on the floor. I didn't even have a chair. But this already has everything. The price is really good for what this apartment offers and the convenient location. I think the apartments are getting better and better.

[@sadizm]

ill take this definitely

[@lloritoovidexequield.8609]

I know Usui-san likes this one because it has the most important feature: the toilet paper storage XD The room is kinda built like a long corridor, but I think it works. I do wish the kitchenette had more counter space where the unit occupant can prepare meals, though.

[@usui503]

Thanks for your comment! Toilet paper storage is essential to my ideal micro apartment.😎

[@carolinecardoso4313]

Percebi bastante espaço desocupado entre o balção da pia, o armazenamento de roupas e a mesa. Com um pouco de organização é possivel colocar uma mesa pequena ou um balcão para usar no preparo de alimentos. Eu usaria uma mesa bistro (aquelas mesas altas), pois embaixo sobraria o espaço para as lixeiras de reciclagem. - I noticed a lot of unoccupied space between the sink counter, clothes storage and the table. With a little organization, you can place a small table or counter to use for preparing food. I would use a bistro table (those tall tables), because there would be space underneath for recycling bins.

[@beth8775]

There is room between the kitchen unit and the wardrobe were you could pit a small counter-height cabinet to add a little counter space.

[@wendyrussell3760]

Most put cutting board over the sink

[@Nushgala]

It also doesn't have a loft. He hates heights! Last several ones he checked out had ladders and lofts. Bet this one was a real nice change in his book!

[@ОляСпесивцева-у3п]

Кто бы что ни говорил, но в качестве съёмного жилья для одного человека - отличное решение.

[@ФоминоваИрина]

Мне так очень понравилась эта квартира. Для одного человека, в самый раз ❤

[@anacristinarodriguessouza9887]

Principalmente se quer economizar e não faz questão de espaço maiores,minha irma mortou num local semelhante teve claustrofobia .Claro, nÃo era planejado cada

[@ArcobalenoGreen]

Кажется, что она такая крошечная, но в ней есть все, что нужно для жизни, новая мебель, аккуратный ремонт, отличное расположение, удивительно!

[@violetviolet5714]

This apartment is like someone took my first dorm and added the kitchenette of my first apartment. So I can say from experience that this is a very comfortable and livable layout. The trick for the kitchenette is to get a tray to put over the sink to use as a temporary countertop for food prep. (I also had a tray for the sink in my bathroom. My old place had no countertops 😆)

[@mariaoprica182]

Pare mare chiria, dar este o zonă bună și are tot ce trebuie unui chiriaș. Nu am văzut aer condiționat, este un minus.

[@annemone4758]

@@mariaoprica182 80.000 yen in that area with a complete furniture is considered a good deal, also usui added in the comment section that this room does have an air conditioning

[@myfyp2]

This room is nice. It feels like a dormitory room, but it is the most convenient as all the necessary furniture and appliances are already provided. Probably the only thing the renter may need to buy is a small foldable table to prepare food. The toilet paper storage is large enough to store detergents, washing powders, etc. Nice view outside the windows too, compared to the other micro apartments.

[@magdieljmc]

It seems really comfy, though I would use multifunctional furniture to gain "extra" space. For example, a folding bed or a sofa bed would suit the space better. Also, I'd put the desk under the window and make it foldable, so I can use that little space to fit in maybe a folding dinner table for two people. I'm not very fond of the washing machine next to the toilet but it is what it is. The price, I believe, is really great, given it's so close to Skytree. Thanks for sharing Usui! 😄

[@owieprone]

I agree. I also think better use of the entry way could be used by adding shelves and a coat rack above the shoe cabinet. I don't see the need for the chest of drawers as the wardrobe already has some getting rid of the free standing one would give more space. Alternatively, swap places with the wardrobe the chest of drawers could then be used as food prep and open up the living space abit, but i'd just want rid of them tbh. There is loads of room under the bed for storage, it would be nice to have a lifter bed (mattress on a lever that rises at one end for storage underneath the entire thing). I'd also prefer a slightly bigger, deeper folding desk in the same corner and the telly on a swing arm above it, so i could use it as a second computer screen when working, see it from bed, and put it away when eating. But it is very well thought out and I can see why it's been done like that.

[@mediagirl]

This is by far the best, most sensible furnished and most practical apartment you've shown so far!

[@charlottesmom]

So agree, this one has everything plus a few extras I’ve not seen before. If I were single and 30 years younger (and lived in Japan ☺️) I’d scoop it up without hesitation. ❤ If it didn’t have the bed I’d put in a loft bed so the desk could be under the bed saving even more room. 👍🏻

[@marialucianascimentofranca2448]

The best so far!!! 🇧🇷

[@Natalia-Ninna]

Отличная квартира! Спасибо за видео!

[@ThePykitty]

Someone put a lot of thought into this one, ready to live in! Nice view too.

[@sapphicticated2200]

Usui-san, thank you for always creating remarkable videos of micro apartments in Tokyo. I find comfort in watching your videos. They are always very informative and entertaining. I like your music choice on your videos. It made me realize that i like chilled jazz and i have been listening to this genre a lot. Please keep up the good work!! I always look forward to your videos. ❤❤

[@usui503]

Thanks for your comment! I love jazz too.🥰🎵

[@rhysegozun]

Truly a chef's kiss. More than enough storage, Located in a central area and comes in furnished. This is a steal Usui-kun ❤ Forget episode 10 and 18. I'm going to mention this everytime you post a video from now on 😂 Edit: More pros from what I watched throughout your apartment hunting journey: -Has bathroom storage for you to put all the toilet paper and other products you need. -You don't have to climb a ladder so you can sleep - No toilet the moment you enter the apartment - Shower room and toilet is built in one room and has no glass walls. The world can't see you while you do your business 😂

[@jujubretas7041]

Olá Usui! Que apartamento ótimo, tem tudo que é necessário! Adorei 😊, nele só faltam você e o homem aranha 😉, não precisa mexer em nada! Parabéns por ter encontrado! 🤩❤️

[@АннаСафонова-п9ш]

Это самая уютная квартира из всех просмотренных! ❤

[@happyherby]

I think this is one of the most functional apartments I saw from your video. The space usage is also well thought out. It's definitely worth considering unless you don't need a fully furnished apartment. 😅

[@violapuro8188]

Wow...this is very well equipped!!! If has everything, micro but very well organized, I think! Definitely works, plus: amazing Tokyo Tower!!!!🎉💜💜💜

[@ruthlessbunny]

This is the best one I’ve seen and FURNISHED! I love that there isn’t a loft! You could do a lot with magnetic Daiso baskets in the kitchenette! A winner!!!

[@Yvkichan]

This one is the best one by far!!!!! ton of storage, large bed, great organisation of the furniture, lots of light, it has everyting you need and is small of course but it dosnt feel like a shoebox

[@projectpenwing]

This is one of the better ones ive seen! I'd take the cost of getting rid some of those furnitures to start from scratch if the agency let me. Id start with turning the bed under the window. Use a Kallax shelf unit or two (just diy the length needed)I'd use two Kallax shelves, one towards the wall and one towards the front, add inn slats for the matress to go on top if needed. That way i will have storage the width of the bed with the shelfs in the Kallax. I can use Bullig box drawers(my personal favorit) in the shelves to make it tidy. and store say wintercloths or other items i dont use that often in the back, out of sight Move the closet to the wall where the headboard of the bed is now and add a desk long enough to go between the kitchen cooktop and the bed. as legs on either side id probably use another shelf where the legs would go (turned in towards where the legs go) for more storage Id also switch the drawer in the hallway and have a fullsized fridge there and either a short cupboard or shelf to have the micro on top or in a shelf unit where the fridge is now. This way it will feel more open and. Or if not allowed to throw away stuff. or the bed cant be under the window if too long. I still would build the bed up to get more storage underneath and just dissasemble the frame and have it tucked away under where it is now. Still would swap the fridge and drawer unit.

[@silvialopes9877]

Gostei, e parece um bom local 👍🏻🌟👏🏼

[@paulathompson9838]

This is the best so far! A very usable space that makes sense in the layout and has great appliances included!

[@amberdawn838]

I liked this apartment a lot! Even with its small size there is actually a lot of storage and appliances that are very useful for everyday life. The only thing I would change is the stool under the table: if you need to work from home it'd be uncomfortable, so I'd prefer to have a chair. But having a chair would take more space, so if you don't need to use the table much, it works just as it is now :)

[@gaston01000]

It's a simple but beautiful design. And Near a interesting place!

[@MaryannT]

I honestly like this one. Fits 1 person perfectly, 2 with a squeeze (like if one is dating and planning to relocate, or mom gave a birth to a child and plans to move in a couple of months).

[@_WilliamAraujo]

Amei esse micro-apartamento! É facilmente um dos melhores que você já apresentou aqui. É pequeno, mas bem aconchegante e com tudo o que é necessário, moraria tranquilamente nele, só trocaria a cama por um sofá-cama.

[@DavidHernandez-oc1oz]

I think this is the winner. It has everything and a sort of real kitchen. Very simple and straightforward layout. Move in would be very simple. since it already hsd everything. Seems like a convenient location as well.

[@baisalimitra4865]

Love this apartment❤❤❤ very neat and convenient. Nice view too. Great video Usui-san👌👌

[@maureenmcdonough7018]

This by far is my favorite apartment you showed us so far they really laid it out to get the most for the space and I think the price is good for all you get for it Good luck in searching for your new home but so far this is the best

[@Learning_With_Me_is_Easy]

Суровые цены... Но и зарплаты, видимо, соответственные ) Спасибо за обзоры! Очень гармоничные )

[@jshilohshea381]

Usui...first time I use your name. But THIS IS THE ONE ! Move in ready...and space is worth it...yes layout like efficient hotel room....but still feels homey...price is higher but you in desired location. Many amenities ! I would take this tiny home NOW!

[@AnnieGill7]

This is the place for you! What an upgrade! It has everything you need young man! Go for it!! ❤😊

[@paolauribe9920]

I like it!!! 😃😃😃 It has well-defined areas, many storage spaces, it is furnished and with a good view, I think it is the best so far 😊

[@XLessThanZ]

I first thought this apartment was too small, but it's organized really well for the amount of furniture and appliances. The locations seems nice too. Nice find.👍🏽

[@curlyD93]

I must say! This is actually very nice! It's got everything you'd need! I like your idea of a loft/bunk bed Usi! Maybe we can swop out the bed for a bunk bed! Really nice one!! Well done! Keep em coming! 😊

[@expensivecrayon]

After watching a lot of your videos, this is the best apartment I've seen so far. The bed is nicely separated from the rest of the space, you have a desk right by the window, the flow being a straight line is very convenient and keeps things from feeling cluttered or claustrophobic. If I could sell all my stuff and live as a minimalist, I could see myself living in this space.

[@nynouchecaspie390]

I really like this one, very comfortable and designed for comfort, not impersonal like all the others, so modern, thank you for sharing =)

[@Squirel]

Thank you very much for sharing this one Usui. It's a fabulous apartment. The landlord has installed everything a tenant could want, the tenant just needs to bring their personal items. The rent is reasonable too. I really like this one, I'd give it 9.8/10.

[@humeruslady1730]

Love your videos!! They make me happy every time I see them posted! Thank you for such wonderful content!!

[@aino-katrikarinen3390]

This is a place I would love to live in. The floor plan is very precise and logical, there's lots of storage space, and it's also fully furnished and ready to move in. The pattern on the wall is very calming.

[@angelartz_sg6216]

I think this is the best one you have viewed by now in terms of the layout and the furnishings. It looks like a service-apartment and that you can just move in with your luggage !

[@Atom_Atomic]

This video has a cozy feel. Subscribed because I love tiny places, and lego spiderman is a cute idea. The rent is super cheap by California standards, and if someone built a bunch of these studios, it would help with the housing crunch here. With California minimum wage, a person would only need to work about 40 hours a month to afford this.

[@hannes8835]

I think, that is the best micro apartment so far. Perfect size, perfect arrangement of the furniture, bed and desk already there, and the toilet got real walls around. I could live in that apartment. Very nice. Business-spidy looks very professional.

[@lind.]

This is perfect, it has everything you need - cupboard/storage space, washing machine, fridge freezer etc. and not forgetting the most important thing, loo roll storage!! If you can afford the rent then seriously consider renting this flat. All the best Usui-san from 🇬🇧

[@claramarcelaandradecastro8590]

Finally!! You found the perfect 👌 apartment. For me, this is the chosen one. I loved ❤. 😊

[@jst_mue]

[@ivyg.castle7561]

Waaaahhh...I love this kind of apartment..I can imagine myself living in one..and you can also see Tokyo Skytree..waaaaaahhh😊🥰

[@susanmassey6836]

I think this one is the best yet. Very well set-up!

[@douglasw.7864]

This my favorite so far. It definitely checks all the boxes.

[@yukiaedogawa]

The best one so far. If you're looking to move and this is within your budget, you should take it. It has all the essentials already and is easily accessible.

[@migueltoledo1884]

Out of all the apartments you have shown so far - this is probably my second favorite. I would absolutely move into here. Yes it looks and feels like a hotel, but with some decorations and personal belongings - this could make for a nice home.

[@corinne8172]

This apartment is ideal, I always enjoy your content

[@TheWookieesWife]

The fact that everything is included (bed, fridge, storage, iron, vacuum, etc.) makes it a steal for sure!

[@jenm9006]

Hi Usui, wow this one looks amazing but you are right, it’s got that hotel feeling about it but it got everything you need , but the rent is a little high , so maybe you will just have to keep looking for the one that feels more homely. We will see what comes next’s so keep taking care of yourself and Spider-Man and enjoy the rest of the week.Xx💕💕🤗🤗xx

[@neverwares]

I love this one! Tons of storage and you have everything you need!

[@mflynn81]

This Apartment is in the top 5. Cheers Usui!

[@mirisoji8406]

This apartment is great! If you have a friend over you could move the table out and sit on the bed with the friend sitting on the chair. The price is resonable, the location is good. This was a good find!

[@susanreeve3840]

This is the best you’ve been to see yet. Extra surface areas above chest of drawers and wardrobe allow more storage etc. towels could store in the bathroom there is a lot extra storage there so more soon for clothes in the wardrobe. I really like this one.

[@ldw2739]

This is one of the best ones yet. Very functional and a lot of storage. I would not put such a large bed 😅so you have more place for a comfortable office chair.

[@jlopezdamian83]

Excelentes videos Usui-San. Ojalá sigas incluyendo de restaurantes y comidas 😋

[@gaston01000]

Y lugar para el papel higiénico... jajaja

[@mgncase]

This is the most efficient layout for a micro, IMHO. I've been watching your videos out of order so I don't know when you started using the "YAY" sound effect for good toilet paper storage, but I actually was sad not to hear it in this video 😂

[@pennymikk]

My dorm room looked very similar to this except no shower and i gotta say the layout was exceptional. This apartment is so cool!

[@zumuvtuber]

I love this apartment! It looks super efficient and simple. Amazing!

[@EdPL0123]

Ten mikroapartament jest praktyczny. Najlepszy z tych które do tej pory u Ciebie widziałam. 👍

[@lingbentelspacher3989]

This is apartment is by far the best one I've seen!

[@margi9103]

I think this is the best micro apartment yet, if it comes with all the furnishings. It’s bigger than some of the others you have shown us.

[@IanJMorganUK]

This really is an ideal Micro Apartment. I like it a lot. There is plenty of light and it seems spacious. The bed is huge! Lovely video 😊

[@silviavlassis1787]

"Love it " The location is excellent! It's like a small hotel...!

[@usui503]

Thanks for your comment! I too felt it was a small hotel.🥰

[@brigittethierens928]

Hi Usui, this flat is very very convenient. Small (of course) but a lot of piece of furniture, so a lot of storage... very comfy, with a lot of electric accessories, as for me the best flat I saw since I'm watching your videos... And for French people, yes, I agree, Japanese toilets are very high-tech (too much for me...😁😉)

[@veraschon3101]

This one is hands down the best one so far.

[@peterhickman386]

Looks pretty good. Looks like a hotel room but it at least looks like a room rather than random space with furniture

[@ExLibris-Alys]

This is the one! It has everything you need and more and although it’s compact the shower/laundry room is completely separate without having a glass door. 👍🏻💛

[@LittleFrenchHen]

Spiderman loves his new job! :) I like this apartment - they have packed a lot into a small space and it reminds me of a Western hotel room (apart from the cooker obviously). The price is good for what you get. The only negative is that it feels a bit claustrophobic.

[@lourdespacheco3700]

This was the first video I saw of yours a few weeks ago. I was fascinated by this micro apartment hunting and decided to watch your other videos and now I’m going to catch up on your newer videos! Thanks for a glimpse into these micro spaces 🙂

[@georgiehenderson1615]

One of the most expensive but very well outfitted and comfortable looking. I like it a lot.

[@garnir9121]

This apartment looks really nice. It already has everything you need to live

[@silvialopes9877]

Esse apartamento é um achado, eu adorava morar nele👏🏼👍🏻♥️🙏

[@janebrown3587]

I liked this apartment and I agree that if you could swap out a loft/raised bed it be more useful floor space. I couldn't fit into a micro apartment lol. I could, but I have too many craft supplies). Even though I don't want tiny living, I thoroughly enjoy every one of your videos! Production quality is top notch and your sense of humor is wonderful - love it! ❤ 👍 I appreciate that you give us the information we want and need - prices, locations, food descriptions for those of us who have no clue what some things are (me!). I always crack up and agree with you about toilet paper storage - loved the party/celebration icons when you found it 🎉 I always smile with your videos.

[@keroro407]

It's at the top 3 of the best apartment that have been featured in this channel. Excluding his current apartment.

[@sabrinarajan]

If I stayed in Tokyo and had the money, I'd definitely take this!

[@amyamoula2361]

إنها شقة مثالية و الموقع جيد 🤗 شكرا لك 💜💜💜

[@tyler.bergen]

I love this places set up. I love the sink and medicine cabinet! The appliances that come with it are a bonus. Honestly, I'd rather prefer a blank canvas to work with. It's nice to have a furnished place if you need it, but it's harder to make it your own. I'd always feel like I'm in someone else's apartment. I'll take the over all set up, but would want to furnish it myself. 🥳 🎉 I get excited about toilet paper storage as you do, LOL 😆 The only thing I dislike is the old, thick, textured wallpaper. It feels like I'm living in a funeral home, and if I were to describe if it were a taste, it'd be stale morning breath. 🤮 I'd try and switch that tall closet with the dresser. The height of it is obtrusive and messes up the flow of the room. ¥81 doesn't seem too bad.

[@gallagherchick]

This is the best apartment so far. It has the best use of the space and tons of amenities. It’s ready to move in!

[@Tequilababs]

Love this apartment for you!!! Convenient location, lots of amenities provided already in the apartment so you wouldn't have to worry about a thing! Lots of good shopping! I assume there are some restaurants in the area as well. Love it!!!

[@xoxfiftyytwo]

this one is so functional and has literally everything including a bathroom sink I'm so impressed. I think maybe it's because the aesthetic isn't there? You can't really make it your own anymore since it has all the furniture already

[@cjatchley1]

The best one yet. Very livable. I would raise the bed a little with storage underneath

[@a.student4215]

It’s a bit too “full” for me, but I really like it! It’s bright and well laid out, (even seems like a great location![I am not familiar with Tokyo or even Japan]), and it’s the opposite of the insulting toilet-entry apartment; clearly this landlord has thought of everything! They even have a vacuum and iron and ironing board and kettle and hair dryer as well as a combination washer/dryer! Luxury! If it were me living there, I would wish (I know that it’s furnished and I couldn’t) that I could use a smaller (equally nice) bed, smaller desk, better desk chair, and get rid of either the dresser or wardrobe, but I love having a “full kitchen” and I think they did a great job with the apartment! To my fellow commenters, I don’t know if Usui-san is actually looking to move or just making lovely videos, but if he is looking, I would guess that since he doesn’t cook much and his storage comprises a small dual-season capsule wardrobe and a briefcase, that he would prefer less storage-furniture, less kitchen, and either more usable space because of that, or the ability to do his own furniture? (possibly a loft bed and his current desk and chair? instead of all the “clutter” since he doesn’t need that much storage?)

[@karenosborne5859]

That's a lot of $$$ for such a small space, but then it is fully furnished and turnkey. I like it.

[@Elisa_281]

Me gustó este lugar!! Pensé que la renta sería mayor. Pero ya que has decidido seguir con la búsqueda, yo te seguiré acompañando en cada video. Muchas gracias!
