APARTMENT TOUR // JET PROGRAM, OSAKA ALT, $400 //

You may feel safe, but it is never a good idea to tell strangers you don’t use all of your door locks. ☮️

When I lived in a paper-thin wall apartment (or just noisy), I bought some cheap duvets/quilts at a thrift shop and hung them on my walls- it's instant insulation and sound squelcher. you can hang pictures and do whatever you normally do and the colors are like having an instant paint job without all the mess.

I love that YouTube randomly recommended me this video even though I have no intention on moving to Japan. The apartment is amazing

That little patio space can be use as a little garden area. You could put another stool out there with a small shelf and add some flower pots or small veg pots, just an idea. Love the apartment

Your acknowledgement of what is atypical in your apartment as compared to others and the gratitude you show for that advantage is admirable. Saw the semi-full-size fridge and went Whoa! Thank you so much for sharing your apartment with us. It was a lot of fun.

Im very proud of Japan, that it allowed young people to have their own small, but cheap apartments, affordable for studenrs, or just anyone, who wants to start independent life. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing! My mom taught at American Air Force bases in Japan back in the 60’s & very early 70’s. Japan was her favorite place she traveled - and she traveled extensively. She passed away suddenly 4 years ago but I can just imagine her smiling with me watching you give a tour of your apartment with all its gadgets and neat additions we don’t see in America. Thank you so much ☺️ Be blessed! (Oh, I’m also the wife of 28 year LEO Captain - safety is always paramount - especially as a woman - so please use all safety locks, bars, etc at your disposal 💜)

In terms of space savings, Americans can learn a lot from Japanese apartment design. Thank you for the cool tour! 😊

People complaining about the size are forgetting that the price of this apartment is $400. You’re not getting a large house with a yard in any major city in a developed country for $400.

Very cute apartment, and it's great that it's so functional. It reminds me of my first apartment when I lived in San Francisco years ago. Hope you have a great time in Japan!

This is one of the nicest Japanese apartments I've seen😭😭 very lucky!

Great apartment! Much bigger than many in Japan. i giggled when you talked about the floor being cold. I live in NS, Canada. In winter I always wear thick socks and warm slippers because unless you have in floor heating or carpet, its a given your floors will be cold. It's June 15th today and im wearing socks with house slides same as you:)

It’s lovely for one person, not as tiny as some of the apartments on here. I still can’t get used to the idea that Japanese people living in cities don’t ever seem to have a living room but I understand that they go out to meet friends rather than entertaining at home.

Comparatively, this place is bigger than the usual! I like the colour scheme too (tan tone). I definitely prefer doors separating spaces too.

Your apartment is so nice. I've been watching some japanese apartment tours and yours is really nice.

I don’t know if you use natural air to help cool your home in high temps, but that the doors slide both ways means that you can have them open on either end to allow for in/out air flow. It will flow more effectively than having one door all the way open.

My older brother was on the Jet program in the mid 1990's. He still lives and works in Japan.

I love that your living space is properly utilised and that you actually own many things which we usual viewers have at home; there are many Youtube small apartment tour videos having too few items (maybe for the pinterest minimalist aesthetic purpose) which isn't practical in my opinion. Great video by the way.

You must be a good teacher because you did a revision of the apartment tour towards the end.

I'm visiting Osaka in 2 weeks. I am just super impressed how Japan maximizes the amount of living space (for the most part). Like with helpful small gadgets and separating the toilet from the shower. In America they will rent you less than 300 square feet studio apartments will full size ovens, 4 burners and everything.
