I feel like you scored a really great apartment! This is my first time to see a Central Tokyo apartment under $1000 with that huge balcony. Usually it’s just an enough size to dry clothes, yours is a good size!

@itsjamlife 4 месяца назад

We agree! We’re impressed with the balcony too! At some point we want to add an outdoor shelf for plants, and maybe high table so we can enjoy tea and stuff outside too ☺️

So interesting to see all the different appliance stores (and sushi restaurants!) Love getting a glimpse into the process of moving into an apartment in Tokyo. Congratulations on your new place 🎉🎉🎉

@@jessicamolinari9097 You're right! While Central Tokyo is one of the most english-friendly areas of Japan, knowing some Japanese means you can explore more local shops and restaurants. It's really great that you're planning to learn! Ganbatte! 💪

@Tokyo-Slim 4 месяца назад

I'm going to be doing something similar with a house I bought In Tokyo, so this was very helpful! I'm going to have the added challenge of hiring a delivery company that can crane-lift my appliances up to a 2nd floor window, because the only staircase in my house is spiral stairs that I think would be impossible to get a washing machine and refrigerator up. I have been told this is somewhat common, with the interior stairs of many Japanese homes not being designed for furniture and appliance moving. The tip with offering delivery people tea is great! Thank you!

@itsjamlife 3 месяца назад

Glad this was useful for you! The crane-lift situation isn’t ideal, but also… good thing it’s in Japan- since movers will be very careful and respectful of your property. 😊 Anyways, hope it all goes/has gone smoothly and that you can enjoy your new home!
