Everyone assumes Tokyo's all condos -- seeing what houses in Tokyo are like, would you prefer to live in a house or condo here?

I'll take the condo. When in Rome and all that, learn to live a little more minimally. Also it's much cheaper and more light comes in! This house feels very closed to light because of the high balcony walls.

I like both. Since Im single, an apartment would be great but if I was living with other people, a house would be perfect. When I was in Tokyo, living in a house with a group of people was the best experience.

If i can afford , a house all days . I always prefer my privacy. I don't want my personal work/entertainment or whatever that happen in my house bother my neighbors. Another thing It may not happen in Japan but it happen quite a lots where I am living ( Texas, USA). If you are living in an apartment or a condo and meet "unlucky neighbors" . no matter how clean you are your condo/apartment easily get infected. It's less so a problem if you are living in a house

Looking at the ceiling and floor, that one bedroom has 2 entrances because it is setup to be dividable into 2 sections. It just isn't configured that way at the moment. This is reinforced by the "smaller" bedroom being fancier. Speaking of that 2nd bedroom, I'm a weirdo for thinking the lower closet spaces would be cozy little places to sleep

I bet I know what that spot beside the TV mount that you said might be for a mini-bar might be for. All of that cabinetry looks fairly old so I bet that cubby was for a CRT TV that you could hide away to clean up the look. All of the wiring coming out of the wall passthrough behind the mount was added later on.

Honestly yeah, the price isn't that horrifying as someone lives in the SF Bay but Tokyo offers much better quality of life in terms of safety, convenience, and things to do. That being said the price for Japanese locals must be crazy since they don't have the tech salaries of the Bay though. I'd trade off square footage in my apartment to move there any day if I could miraculously learn Japanese and work there for a company that doesn't make you work crazy hours.

You pay a lot for the location here. Naka-Meguro is a very popular upscale district very close to places like Shibuya, Ebisu and Roppongi, yet it has a more laidback atmosphere than the really busy places like Shibuya or Roppongi. I just checked and Naka-Meguro is currently on the 12th place of neighborhoods (defined by closest train station) where people wanna live in Tokyo. It clearly isn't for someone with average income.

I think that 2nd bedroom with the floor level closet is perfect for a child. I'm not sure why he believes this 2 bedroom rental is not large enough for a family with 1 child. People in large cities in the US like NY and San Francisco live in apartments as big as only the lower level of this rental. This rental has a whole, huge open space living room and kitchen plus underground parking with storage. Definitely more than enough room. The 1st larger bedroom, I would think about blocking off the 2nd door so there would be more usable space but even if you don't there's still enough space in that room.

What a strange layout. It has odd appeal, but also really quirky. The super long room looks like it was two rooms before. There's an AC unit on each side, and the dividing line in the middle.

I don't think I could ever get used to the tiny spaced Japanese Apartments or Houses. The Office would make me claustrophobic, so would the bathroom. And the rest of the living space isn't much better. The windows are on the top of the walls, so you can't see anything. Stairs are way too narrow and the kitchen lacks an oven - as do most other japanese homes. The only way seeing myself in a japanese house would be to remodel the whole place, and not only the furniture but pretty much everything, from windows, walls, etc. Unless maybe it's one of those traditional pre-war homes, which are kinda lovely actually.
