Inside a $12,000/month Tokyo Penthouse Overlooking MT. FUJI | Japanese Apartment Tour 

45 floors up -- that means a long elevator ride... Do you prefer high-rise penthouses or low-rise suites?

If you're paying $12k a month, you'd want something ALOT better than this shabby ex-office.

I love that you also show the neighborhood - it's really cool to see different parts of the city as well as the cool houses/apartments.

A little surprised by this one. Expected more contemporary updates and more natural light for the price point. The tour was interesting nonetheless!

You should do a video covering some of your favorite restaurants in Tokyo! I know there's a neighborhoods one but a food-focused video could be cool

8:04 Chris (Abroad in Japan) Mount Fuji's curse strikes again hahaha

It’s always exciting to see you post a video.

I can't remember if I left you an enthusiastic comment on your Karuizawa property video but if not-- IT WAS SENSATIONAL. One of your best efforts yet. I really, really enjoyed not just the footage but the incredible amount of information you crammed into it, all delivered in your highly digestible style. Thank you, love your channel! 😊👍

Hi Alex, I love your videos and searched for something similar (after binge watching yours... naturally), there is NOTHING like your channel on youtube!! Yet on TV property channels are so popular??! MORE PLEASE, LOTS MORE!!!

Great apartment and tour once again Alex! The overlayed graphic on the "podium" was a nice touch. From what I've seen so far from your videos you would get my vote for supreme overlord.

Ngl, I choked on my dinner a bit with the clip of Connor yelling - kudos to the editor!

This is one of the best apartments I’ve seen on your channel. Very nice.

The realty game is on point here! Makes me think about who Im buying real estate from. You really know your stuff! Looking forward to seeing more Alex!

My stomping grounds!! Yeah atlas tower, especially the top floors have some crazy, stunning views ❤, and there are just loads of great cafés and places to chill.

Alex your videos are always awesome! Keep up the great work!

4:15 all I could think was that's for washing a small dog, that laundry room is goals

I love all these apartments... awesome video Alex!

Great video as always! always loved watching these videos and looking forward to seeing more from you.

I love how you start with the bathrooms and bedrooms. Usually these videos show the bedrooms last.

Time to add Food to the Portfolio!(Shoku Portfolio anyone?) That aside, I felt that the property had a very...commercial feel to it? Aside from the exquisite kitchen and living room, the rest of the rooms feels pretty normal which makes the contrast painfully obvious. The view is killer though!

I always love these videos. You are good at presenting these and you are interesting and cool. It's nice to see a variety of places in Japan.

If we make bath-tubbing together a new channel staple, then I think we're going to have to discuss a raise.

I’m curious if those types of buildings have common areas like lounges, gyms, etc. One thing I’ve gotten used to in my current place is concierge and a package room.

Something about the renovations the previous tenant did to that penthouse, I am loving them! The rich earth tones, the subdued lighting coupled with large windows, the green spaces (which I would fill with real plants). Gorgeous!

When the toilet lid lifted up on its own as you open the door 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Love the Onibus coffee recommendation, although I never knew how to pronounce it either!

Nice video! "As you can see" = 1 drink, forget getting drunk, try to just make it out alive :)

Love the Connor cameo

Great video! Wouldn't mind it if you would do even more content around the neighborhood

wow that's a nice neighbourhood, dont think ive heard of it before

Dude is funny! That little humor in the middle was so quick I almost missed it! This is a very awesome property , by the way; I likey!

I love these videos so much oh my god

What a fantastic and unique apartment! Thank you for also including information about the surrounding area, it always gives these tours that personal touch.

I am not Japanese, but in my fathers culture, we remove shoes before entering a home, not just for cleanliness, but a show of respect, love that you do this to the properties you show. Some great apartments you have been showing us here :)

Cameraman in the bathtub should be a new unit of measurement for bathtub's. "How many cameraman's fit in your bathtub sir?"

Always love your videos, they make me Daydream about moving abroad

I could never afford any of the homes in these videos, but the fact that I know that Banh mi place exists now means there's something I can actually buy being shown.

Thank you for touring us around the expensive residences of Tokyo! I know I can't afford them but I can dream. ❤

love these videos, keep it up

The view is crazy, even when it's all cloudy, the vast distance you can see over Tokyo is still magnificent. The best part was the mushroom though, I hope it's part of the apartment haha

I know I'll probably never make enough to afford any of these places. It's still giving me ideas for areas I would like to move to once I do finally get around to moving to Japan.

amazing apartment in tokyo! awesome video

I understand that as a Japanese individual it's probably nice to have a view at Mt. Fuji but let me tell you this. I bought a 5 room, 1 living room, 1 guest toilet, 1 normal toilet with bath and shower, 1 garage apartment with 3 grocery stores in a walking distance for 130.100$ in Germany with the view at Polish/Czech mountains, quiet neighborhood and free electricity if we ignore the 2000$ yearly fee for the upkeeping of the solar panels and the central battery system which supplies the whole house and if needed, I can quickly book a very cheap electricity from the city with a click of the button in the smart home app (which costs me in winter/low electricity production months around 60-90$ per month depending on the use). It's not as premium as the penthouse in the video but you don't have to worry about loosing your job and not being able to pay the monthly rent. I also own a 4 room, 1 bathroom and 1 parking spot apartment in Frankfurt Main which was actually my first property that I ever purchased and basically I took a credit for that house, paid in total 94.400.80$ (4.300,80$ for the credit / rest for the apartment) and I paid it off after 5 months and now I'm renting it to a group of students which already brought me over 40.000$ in profit. In other words, if you are not as spoiled as 90% of the rich people are, it would be better to invest into apartments or houses, eventually rent them or keep them and then after 8-10 years just sell them with profit. I don't need to tell you that this might be a better idea than spending your money on crypto, crypto mining, NFT or buying stocks from some developing companies.

Love the living room with the connected kitchen counter into a bar

I really liked this one, especially the kitchen, if I had the money I would definitely consider renting it.

Mega apartment that, what a view

First luxurious apartment I could actually live in, that doesn't hurt the eyes. The only problem is the price - it should be 1/3 or the current listing. But hey, we are in Tokyo, it's what it is...

Great sense of humor

Thank You for this video.

I always enjoy these videos. Truly. I'd like to see some variation in what you present though. My favorite videos so far have been the more unique places. All the high-end, luxury abodes are nice to fantasize about living in but rich people are all the same and after a while, these videos kinda feel the same because of their rich dullness. Either way, I appreciate your channel and content. Just a personal preference of mine.

Really awesome 😎

What an amazing view! Every time I see these views on your channel I always wonder what they’d look like at night….

2:43 didn't expect that cameo

lovely area to stay

I really do like this apartment. Love the bathroom, love that tub 😊😊 I am ready to move in lol

Pretty amazing view

i love this house

I love the little shade thrown at Conner, or CDawgVA

Comment engagement like click comment. I do enjoy the parts where you do a little bit of the neighborhood beforehand.

If i win jackpot lottery,definitely i would buy it.

I'm ready.

First thing I thought about was - heating/cooling costs

You know, I have almost zero chance of ever living in Tokyo or even visiting Japan with my current life projection. But I just watch these vids to help bump the view count.

Love your videos, wish I can move to Tokyo and If I ever do you will be my real estate agent

Given the location, and the view the price doesn't actually seem that exuberant. Thank you for showing the neighbourhood.

I love that Penthouse in Japan only problem is I don't know how much in UK money as I'm from UK

Faaaancy!

Wow dude I would totally buy this house..... if I was rich as Bezos

can you do more videos on what normal people can afford

Can easily afford some of these apartments. Planning to move to Japan soon, got lot of insightful information from your videos.

Oof that's a steep price. It's a nice apartment. The bathing room is neat, I love the sauna feature. Also nice that the toilets have their own rooms so you aren't barging in if someone wants to relax in the bath. I guess for the location it's worth it, but living room and kitchen didn't really vibe well to me.

Nice shirt

9:15 I worked with my dad installing countertops for years and when we had to replace a top (unhooking the old sink/etc) the absolute WORST ones to work on were the ones with a garbage disposal. They always smell horrible because most people don't properly care for them and food just sits in them and rots. Hate then things.

yooooo the super i buy my groceries at is in nakameguro:)

this is the only channel I think about if I won the lottery. To reach out asap.

With the appartments most of the time being in the unaffordable range all the "it is unusual in japan" features seem kind of commonplace :)

I discovered your chanel thanks to the youtuber mitsu :)

7:55 is that the Meguro river to the right of the 4 lane road? i walked that river in spring back in 2019. loved every minute of it

If it takes a while to go up the elevator to the 45th floor, imagine taking the stairs XD

The intro music sounded so familiar, and suddenly I realized, it is the same music Snake Discovery uses for its timelapses! Funny to see the same music on such different channels.

finally a new tour and I'm first. I have big hopes for pointing out big and awesome doors

That’s where my daughter was born haha !

teehee... Happy toilet. I am borrowing that! Aloha

Nakameguro also has the finest American BBQ in Tokyo with Hato's Bar, and is also very beautiful during hanami due to the trees lining the river. How much are the banh mis?

I was really curious about I'm Donuts?, the line is unbelievably long when I was there.

Hey Alex do you happen to know why there is never a hot water tap for the washing machine in Japan? Have you ever seen a place that has one?

i slept through the part that shows the master bedroom's bathroom

9:09 I lived in the cheapest places in Japan, which made me consider this as a standard, and wonded why we don't have it in Germany.

drinking game idea: 2 shots for everytime he says 'you wont find this in japan' and 1 shot for everytime he says 'this is really rare to find in japan'

I'm curious on how easy (or difficult) it is to find housing or rent in Japan for locals and those who decide to move and settle in Japan.

$12,000/month for this place seems insane to me idk.. I know the location plays a role and that Japanese homes are much different to American homes but I feel like even in an expensive place like LA or New York you can have way more for that amount. Seems more of an office/work space than a home to me. The toilets are sick though I will give them that 😂

I am guessing that kitchen was never used as there seems no place for a fridge and all the cupboards would display your groceries to visitors and guests with those lighted pierced fronted cupboards.. hard to imagine your breakfast cereal and marmalade jar and bags of chips helping you look cool in there. It looks too much like an office space to imagine living there

This seems like such a lovely area. I wonder what prices are for other non penthouse apartments in that building?

Architect: "How many bathrooms you want?" Owner: "YES!"

🎉🎉🎉

Bizarro que mesmo em ap de luxo os comodos e corredores sao estreitos

His intrusive thoughts LOL

6:41 😂

You gotta be making atleast 300K to afford this apartment 😅

After seeing rents in places like NY, this looks like a bargain.
