Also good for people who are introverted, the divorced, people who wont have to deal with roommates!

Little apartments like these would be great for people who are trying to save up for a down payment on a house.

There are a lot of shared houses in the US where you can rent a bedroom/half of a house. Depends on where you live, but if you are looking for $500.00/month and under, I would suggest looking for a shared house/apartment with multiple bedrooms to reduce costs. My friend ives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn NYC for only 600.00 including everything and has her own room, large kitchen and bathroom and entertainment space. She has 3 roommates for the other bedrooms, but thats how post-grads do it!

Another excellent entry in this series. I'm 38 now and most definitely feel Japan as a whole has A LOT to teach the whole world about minimalism living. Sure you can argue some of these spaces could arguably be "unliveable" by western standards, but going back to my teen years as a University student, I spent pretty much all my time out, and also I was thinner and healthier then: managing a small space was so much easier back then. I feel like these kind of places could mean lesser rent costs for students whilst still providing decent sleeping spaces together with different environments to bring forth their personality and creativity in how they utilize the spaces. Regardless, this video was excellent showing all this stuff and I truly appreciate the Japanese residents coming forward and sharing their spaces and opinions on all of it. Great work to be sure. Cheers!

@PenitentSlayer
@PenitentSlayer Год назад
If you were allowed to alter the space, you could easily extend the loft level across to the window, and just have a hole through it for access with the ladder going up into the corner. You'd still have light on both levels due to the position of the windows. And you'd increase the amount of useable floor space by at least 25% across the entire apartment.

As a person that lives in a tiny-tiny apartment in Tokyo I can say that this apartment is not bad at all. However, one huge disadvantage is the lack of an actual built-in closet which will definitely be an issue both for men and women. Not only because the storage space is limited but also because those clothes will catch so much dust even if if you clean often that you might develop allergies.

to be honest though most young people in Japan live in their Family homes still. It is not uncommon at all to be in your 30's and still living with your mother and father.

Man just seeing that these beautiful places exist for so cheap makes me totally jealous! This is the perfect type of apartment I'd love while working and trying to get on my own feet.

Maybe nonstickable hooks that could help hold planks to put storage, snacks, or other clothes I wouldn't want in the way. Looks perfect for putting things all over the wall or in that open area to give yourself a ton more room. And that loft most definitely would be turned into a practically pillow hang out area. Love soft areas and places, so that loft looks incredibly comfortable. A good set up fan with the window would easily help cool that top portion off as well. Overall, this place is truly magnificent. Makes me giddy almost, I hope I could find something like this in america. Would love to live in these spaces with friends and be able to easily get together with them to hang out nearby.

Exposed flames in the furnace, a very very old gas range and hookups, dangerous neighborhood for a very similar price. Something like this would've been awesome for a time. I am glad that my partner and I now have a home. I am almost 6' and he is 6'4" so a small space would never work for us.

I would replace the ladder with box stair thingies which would provide extra storage and make it much more convenient to go up and down, meaning you'd be more likely to use that space. I imagine the loft space not being used much by most people as is, ladders are super annoying to keep going up and down long term, especially when you can't stand up in loft space.

With the housing crisis in many American cities, I’m surprised these have not really popped up as options that much. I know a lot of people who would probably trade having 1-3 roommates for a smaller place they can call their own. Plus one that lets you reasonably afford living there

That's what I did! Found a "studio" apartment that was really just a room and a bathroom. It was only about 300 sqare feet and didn't have a kitchen (came with a mini fridge, toaster oven, microwave, and a half broken dresser), but hey, it was mine! None of my old roommates liked to clean so the place was really a God send.

I really wish we had this kind of small, inexpensive accommodation in the west.

I think I'd live here specially because of the loft. My sitting height won't exceed 2 feet and I'm much smaller when I'm crouching( which I normally do) and the small space kind of minimises space which is something I don't like because it feels empty but at the same time seeing the apartment like this gives it a sort of "free" vibe and look

Love it! The windows and white walls help immensely to make the space feel open instead of claustrophobic. I lived in a small apartment for 3 years which was halfway underground. It was horrible....yellow walls, yellow wooden cabinets and kitchen table, yellow laminated floor, dark red walls inside the bathroom, black bathroom faucet and towel racks...dark wooden trim and doors, and light from only three small windows (all of which were positioned under trees). I can't believe I survived that long, really. The apartment I'm living in now, while small, feels like a penthouse suite compared to my previous one! Tons of storage, white walls, tons of windows....feels open and light instead of yellow and depressing. Haha.
