Yokosuka, Japan 3 BDR Military Housing Tour

Moving to Japan? This video is about military housing in Yokosuka, Japan. This is a detailed house tour is of a 3 bedroom tower located on the main base. You have the option between a townhouse and apartment-style living in a tower. We chose a tower because of the space.
Thanks for watching our channel! We are a military family who recently moved to Japan (Nov 2018) My husband and I have been married for 18 years and have 3 wonderful children. As a military spouse of almost 18 years, I know what it can be like moving to another country. We lived in Spain as well. I hope my page inspires, informs, educates and makes you laugh! Follow us on this wonderful journey of living in Japan.
If I can help answer any questions if you are moving to Yokosuka, please don't hesitate to reach out.

OMG I LIVED IN THAT SAME TOWER!! I had the best memories there... loved the renovated home. Great video!

[@djcaspermarine]

What the name of this tower?

[@ms_musicarchive]

@@djcaspermarine might be Ume Heights, could be wrong though The layout for the apartment I stayed in was the exact same as this one, just mirrored, and the lobby was very similar.

[@tommyhodges2920]

Congrats. I used to run around those hallways as a child in the early 80s. ate clovers and played in the grass behind the towers. wowza

[@kristinadasilva7904]

Thank you for posting this video...it has been so hard to find info about Yoko housing. See ya soon!

[@ItsSaberz]

[@locas5331]

I wish it had all these tech features when my family and I lived there back in the 90's...how luxurious!

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

Lo Cas I bet!

[@JuicedUpLemon]

This one is so nice. The kids bathroom is so sanitary looking. I'm a neat freak so I hope I land an apartment here too. But I'm getting ahead of myself, I haven't signed my contract yet. 🤔

[@instantramen1379]

[@mckennacady452]

I’ll be moving to Zama in two weeks. Is there only one tower? Or multiple? I love the new updated feel of yours. And the view 😍 things I should ask when getting housing?

[@r-royhomebake2114]

Thanks for sharing the video hopefully to see you when I move there too.

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

R-Roy Homebake you’re welcome. I’m sure you will.

[@Nomarcaper]

Having lived in an apartment in Nagoya for some time, it’s so bizarre seeing an apartment in Japan that looks so American hahah

[@1mJustABagel]

I grew up there from '00-'06 in Asagao Heights next to your tower! Huge nostalgia trip for me with soo many good memories! That’s Yoko MS in the vid. It used to be a giant open field where they would hold a bunch of soccer and flag football games. I actually used to play golf on that field and skateboard around the pavilion just outside the fence lol. My favorite thing to do in that tower was race the elevator by going down the main stairway. All the closet doors and cabinets were plane white back then, but still looks the same as I remember :') Thanks for the video. I hope I get to go back some day with my family.

[@gwapakaayobabe]

Same here! We were in Satsuki '01 to '07 - when those towers just opened the cabinets were kind of white or off white and the floors were white. Those floors were so hard to clean and would scratch right away. I'd imagine all the scratches now from all those move ins, so I guess they opted to put tile carpets on them (great idea and much better).

[@1mJustABagel]

@@gwapakaayobabe gosh those tile floors.. my mom would make me scrub them with a bucket of water, some comet, and a greenie pad at least once a month 😩

[@SwitchSystem]

that's such a nice tower! kind of similar layout in Yokota towers on the west side. Ours was the older towers though. thanks for sharing!

[@ballingwithbryce5801]

I lived in the Yokota towers on the west side

[@vernonhammond7445]

That is paradise compared to what we had at Misawa in the early 1980s! Enjoy!

[@djustinfowler]

Almost exactly like the towers we lived in in Oki.

[@pamandrade6376]

Thank you for the tour. We are pcs'ng too. Omg. Japan is very beutifulllll!!!!

[@japanviewneth]

It ’s really beautiful house.めっちゃ綺麗やんｗ

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

japan view neth thank you!

[@rhobbs9417]

We’ve never lived on base before but on our next pcs my husband wants to try and go to a country where English isn’t the main language and he again, doesn’t want to live on base. I’d like to try it as I feel like I could be more social that way and it would make things a little easier but the main thing both of us are worried about is privacy. Apparently people can just let themselves in or at least demand to be let into your apartment/house whenever they want? Whereas living off base they can’t do that and you don’t have to let them in. I’m especially worried about that aspect as his last supervisor was absolutely horrible and used to shout at me (spouse) and our baby, even my husband, in public and one time had us all crying in the parking lot outside dental on base. Then he threatened to “follow us home again” and another time I had gone out and came home to find him and his muscle man goon at my house demanding to be let in then refusing to leave and blocking me from leaving. In the end police came and said if they try that again then call them. SECFO on base just told me “yeah he sounds like an asshole but there’s nothing illegal about that”. So basically I just want to be left alone and not be worried men are gonna be forcing their way in to my private space. If anyone knows about the rules on that kind of thing if you live on base, it would be such a help! Thank you

[@roseforeuropa]

I lived in Nana-ban Tower (Tower #7) and then Himawari Heights afterwards when it was brand new during the early 90's. Thanks for posting this video!

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

ZXNOVA wow the early 90’s! It still is nice, compared to the other ones. They are in the process now if renovating some of the towers. You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@roseforeuropa]

@@wearetheyoungbloods We were actually the first occupants in Himawari Heights as it was built while we were living in Nana-ban tower. I walked to Sullivan elementary school. I still consider Yokosuka my home town, I guess in this case, home base :D

[@KendallByrd]

We arrive in November........hoping for something similar. How did you wind up liking the tower?

[@4FamilyFunTV]

I love plenty storage and beautiful view. We are in a townhouse and I thought it has less storage. But it has lots of storage as well. Small youtuber over here 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧♥️😊👍 I will have a video of our townhouse soon. Thank you so much 😊

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

4 Family Fun TV Thank you! That’s good. I’m small too. I need to do better with posting my videos.....smh. You’re welcome!

JPsikaHunter is also the best channel I think. You can enjoy hunting deers in Hokkaido in Japan.

[@merylvogel7001]

Thank you for this. We are up for orders next month and Japan may be out only option. Are you still in Japan?

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

You’re welcome. I hope you get it. It’s an amazing place. Unfortunately, we left last month.

[@nickkassuba5915]

What is the name of your tower? We are moving there soon and this is the nicest one I have seen so far. Thanks!!!

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

Nick Kassuba yes it is. Himawari Heights

[@mckennacady452]

I’ll be moving to Zama in two weeks. Is there only one tower? Or multiple? I love the new updated feel of yours. And the view is amazing. things I should ask when getting housing?

[@tamaraYvonne02]

Did you guys have to downsize a lot before moving? That place has the smallest amount of storage I have ever seen in any military housing. Thanks for sharing!

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

Tamara Yvonne yes we did. We moved from a 4 bedroom townhouse. The storage is not that bad considering I did store a lot back in the states. When I knew we were coming here, I took a few months to really sort through ALL of our belongings to see if I really wanted it anymore, or if I wanted to store it. You don’t realize how much you really have until you move. Because of that, there really isn’t a need to store a lot of things I’m not going to use for awhile anyway. I hope that helps!

[@tamaraYvonne02]

@@wearetheyoungbloods Thanks for sharing. We are an army family and I purge a lot of stuff every move but the longest we have lived in one place is 3 years. Now we will be at 4-5 years with 2 added kids so I am dreading purging this time. I know we have a lot of stuff we don't need!

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

Tamara Yvonne you’re welcome. I totally understand.

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

This tower is Himawari Heights on main base in Yokosuka.

[@ballingwithbryce5801]

I like the modern towers.. Ours wasn’t that nice when I was a kid in the late 80s early 90s lol

[@SIGSAUER_P320]

Military Housing is the right place to make money specially in Japan where food is expensive and bills are so high.

[@konnichiwasayonara2756]

Not bad at all. Great view. Wish I'd went OCONUS

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

KonniCHiwa Sayonara thank you!

[@vicentenewcomb1100]

Do they have regular power outlets like we have state side or is it a Japanese fit?

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

It is the same as America. Japan uses the same voltage as we do.

[@josephliegel8994]

Thanks for all then information this is on the base ?? The storage is the same as Naples. What Is the name of the tower?

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

joseph liegel you’re welcome. This is on the main base, Himawari Heights. The storage is ample enough as long as you’re not bringing a lot of extra stuff. Mine still has space in it.

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

B T sorry, I don’t know.

[@naomipyle7863]

Were coming from dc! Does the area have any facebook pages? I couldnt find any. :(

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

We moved from there too before we got here. There are a lot of pages here, it depends on what you're looking for. The main one is Yokosuska Military Spouses.

[@JackHausam]

Are pets allowed in any of the on base housing?

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

Jack Hausam Yes, in the townhomes. For the towers, pets are only allowed on the first two floors, no pets on floors 3-8.

[@elizabethevans5931]

Can you tell me the name of the tower please?

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

Himawari Heights

[@dennisdoss7703]

Where do married, but unaccompanied sailors live when in port? Any idea?

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

Dennis Doss depending on rank and if you have a family back home it depends. Some single sailors live in Barricks with other sailors and some live on a ship if they are assigned to one because they have a family back home that is receiving BAH. I think that is how it works, but you may have to contact your command to verify. I am not active duty so I am not 100% sure. That is what I know from people who I have met who are unaccompanied. I hope that helps.

[@laniemccann4142]

Is it pet friendly??

[@lilliejohnson2498]

Can animals live in the tower?? We have 1 medium size dog.(:

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

Lillie Johnson yes, but only on the first two floors.

[@lilliejohnson2498]

We are the Youngblood's thank you! I was worried for a second! 😂😄

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

Lillie Johnson you’re welcome. It always depends on if a tower is available when you come. I just found out that pets are approved up to the 3rd floor now.

[@alexiskinsey6298]

CAN YOU PLEASEEEE SEND ME THE WEBSITE TO APPLY FOR THESE

[@wearetheyoungbloods]

You can’t do it in advance. You have to wait until you arrive to see what housing is available.
