She Lives in a $46/Day Micro Apartment in Japan 

✌️🙏

Wish u helped her 😥

I love your story telling bro.

Hey drew i think you should advise this young lady to start a side hustle maybe a youtube channel in english she can post cool vlogs n we can subscribe n watch and maybe move to the Philippines

Her monthly income falls short of monthly accommodation 😢 where else does she stay? How does she buy anything else - basic necessities 🤷‍♀️ it is like this worldwide. This is the true and current global pandemic 😵

Very true

Life isn't that difficult in Tokyo. Overworking is a problem, but there really isn't that much poverty in Japan compared to most European or Asian countries.

Well, she's obviously better off than drug addicts living on the streets of America and Europe. People on social media seem to overreact when it comes to social issues in Japan.

@@AIIIAKS-vn4coYup Americans love to criticize the far east, yet we have far bigger problems at home. We can’t even ride the metro or walk peacefully at night in our cities anymore.

Cause youre a brokie.

she is lying.. this dude was lied to and he has no clue what he is talking about.. I lived in Tokyo for 4 years, everything she said was lies and the guy who made the video cant speak the local language enough to know he was swindled.. This video pissed me off alot. 11% of japanese real estate is vacant and you can get an apartment for 40,000 yen per month aka under $300/mo. in tokyo. You can live amazing in tokyo on less than she makes and I have done it on $600/mo with a city skyline view.

So true I live in Tokyo 🗼 right now 500$ a month Got Me living like A 👑 I got 1 of the best life's in Tokyo Woman are amazing 😍 they are friendly and wonderful if you American go to Tokyo just be careful Of swindling​@@ryanshaw4250

@@ryanshaw4250seems sketchy to me but maybe she’s trying to live as if she doesn’t exist no trace or maybe she’s lying.

It's possible she can only pay the daily, as she lives off tips from the hostess bar - yet an other thing poor folks have to deal with - higher rates cuz you can't pay a month or year in adv

There are places in japan less than half that price that are an adorable place to live

@@littlewigglemonster7691 I'm guessing you can't pay a daily rate tho, and would need a large sum every week/month/year to pay the rent, vs the daily payments one can make in places like these. We have a similar situation with residential hotels in the US. It's more expensive, but you can pay smaller increments, which ends up costing more in the end, but all one can do when their income isn't stable

She can stay at share house its available anywhere in tokyo its much lesser cost than uncomfortable sleeping in internet café

@@ryanshaw4250 Doesn't it depend on the part of Tokyo you're in

@@yennerchristien. sure, shibuya and ginza are def pricier but shinjuku where this video is shot.. cheap as hell. I literally lived walking distance from where this video was shot, had a 2 bedroom with living room, kitchen and skyline view for 80,000 yen per month. I mean she lied through her teeth the whole time and it hurt to watch. The story about the taxi.. wow, go look at a tokyo subway map and train map, Shinjuku where she works is like 300 yen away from places where 10% of properties are vacant. In general, Japan is very very affordable and in that apartment i mentioned, i had a room mate and spent a total of 100,000 yen per month all in for insurance, rent, cell phone, internet, going out to eat 10 times a week, and dont forget drinking ahrd twice a week. I really hate when people try to show lies about how expensive Japan is.. try living in the US or anywhere in the west really.

​@@ryanshaw4250, maybe she's trying to live a life style she can't afford . 😮

Huh? You shouldn't be fooled by this fake video.

@@ryanshaw4250 Thanks for putting things straight, being somewhat informed about Japan and Tokyo in particular the intro literally shocked me since I wasn't planning to pay those sums next time I go there. I feel he's going bonkers rn for some reason and seriously needs a reality check, his older videos were totally based in comparison.

OMG THATS REALLY GOO D RENT PRICE

@@audreyl704 it is. I'm right in the middle of the action, too. Between Shinjuku and Shibuya. My place is only 20m2 though.

When I lived in Tokyo I was paying like 130,000 yen and that was for quite a fancy 2 bedroom place in Shinjuku. I can't imagine why she's paying so much to live in an internet cafe

I came here to say this too. This doesn't seem convincing. There are so many shared houses that are cheaper than what she's paying.

Do you think she may have a gambling addiction to stay in the internet Cafe? I'm not sure if their internet cafes are the same but in the US it's a place for internet gambling. Could it also be a lack of knowledge about shared houses or places with cheaper rent?

She’s living in deficit. At her young age (if she’s really 21) and giving her past history… she’s doing the best she knows to do. Hopefully… she’ll get to a better living situation some day soon.

@@MadAudi Yo cannot live in deficit here. Internet cafe's want cash daily. So if she is paying 7,000 Yen per day x 30 days = 280,000 Yen. It is not possible on a 200,000 Yen a month salary. The banks will not loan someone money that has no fixed address. The government will not give any financial support without a fixed address. In fact, they wont even give her a bank account if she does not already have one. Cell phone companies will not give her a phone contract without a fixed address either. I been living here for 7 years and I know Japan very well. In fact, she cannot get any help from the Shinjuku ward office as she has no fixed address and does not pay her monthly ward tax. Without a proper fixed address in Japan, you cannot do anything. She most likely would get paid in cash per month as that is 100% legal here if you request it from your employer. So based on what I know, and basic math, this story is BS and only here to get views to make money from the view counts. There is no way she lives in an internet cafe based on basic math.

this story is BS indeed

True i agree i did the calculations and it’s not adding up at all.

Beautiful?

Because you don't speak Japanese fluently. The language barrier in Japan is a real thing. And those who are willing to learn Japanese and integrate into the Japanese community can make Japanese friends easily.

Don't they have apps or websites people can get together to share a room? With so many old people there I'm sure a young woman like her can live in with an older person and help out with chores and take them to the clinic. $46/night can cover a nice hotel room in Thailand or the Philippines.

Regardless of whether you speak Japanese well or not it's still more difficult to make friends in Japanese culture than most other cultures. It's a fact of life, even amongst Japanese themselves they are not open to interacting with others easily.​@@user-qm7jw

@@ontheroad5555 In Tokyo too. The prices he mentioned are completely delusional bs and I have no idea where that's suddenly coming from since I've never heard that kind of sensationalist misleading in any other video here.

Yes the war has had ripple effects on most countries - thanks for sharing your perspective

@@drewbinsky It is my honor, thanks to you too! You are very nice! Take good care! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏

Tokyo is still far cheaper than America, I was there last year I was paying $20 for a capsule hotel and only a few dollars for food

​@hockey_highlights_and_more It's not cheaper than America, it's cheaper than the most expensive places in America. Where I live, you can get a 2 bed hotel room with indoor pool, hot tub, gym & breakfast for about $20 more per night than she is paying for that closet.

@@pewpewTN you missed the part where I said only a few dollars for food, you can’t eat a full course meal anywhere in America for $5

Thank you for this heartfelt comment and I agree completely

this is also happening is usa bc of fake money and corrupt gov but its about to change next year ( only if you know what im talking about )

You speak for me very well. It makes me so sad.

...and me too😟😞...the world needs a reset. Drop all the tech

Well, I live in Tokyo, but I think she could easily get out of this life. To begin with, $46 a night is not cheap at all. And if she lives there for 30 days, it will cost her over 200,000 yen a month, which is obviously more than the average Tokyo rent. There are plenty of apartments and share houses in central Tokyo for less than $500 a month. I don't know why she still lives in an Internet cafe over one of those places, but I'm sure she can move out immediately.

i hope so!

@@ryanshaw4250 I don't think you really live in Japan.

@@ChuDontKnow1147 I live in kagoshima now, lived in Nagoya for 4 years and tokyo for 4. I even lived about 15 minutes away from where he shot this video. Before I had my 3 kids and family to pay for, i used to live on 100,000 yen per month with a view and a spare bedroom in shinjuku ward. that is the equivelent of $600 in todays money and even McDonalds employees in Japan live great compared to corporate employees in the US because of how affordable they make the place. The lies in this video are breathtaking and you doubting im speaking the truth leads me to believe youve never been to Japan. The whole internet knows how effecient and inexpensive japan is. but if you love to be fooled, go ahead.. send some money to them instead of the people who really need donations like those kids in pakistan, Sudan, and DRC. I know its tough to get money to those in actual need because scumbags vastly just take the money and yes they deserve to burn in hell for this but its how the pity insustry works worldwide. Literally the only charity that works is St Judes and im not sure if thats still true but every other one I researched only give 10% or less of the money donated to the causes they claim with many literally taking everything.. its pathetic.

He's a massive liar and just trying to get views - he starts the video saying Tokyo is one of the most expensive cities in the world... You can find places to rent all over tokyo for 315$-600$USD no problem and the numbers for what this girl is saying don't add up. I don't know how you can make a video like this and start it off with so many lies. That hotel room is not 190$usd - the meal is not 83$ its actually exactly (5.85usd) - and a 40 minute taxi ride is around $50 usd. I guess being truthful and honest is dead nowadays.

@@ChuDontKnow1147 chu dont know what your talking about.. I live in Kagoshima now, lived in Nagoya about 4 years, and lived in tokyo about 3 years including shimoochiai which is in shinjuku ward right down the street from where the video was shot. clearly math is not your strong suit as well as she claims to spend a multiple of her income on things like taxis and meals that cost way more than what her take home is. Even the part when they go to the chain restaurant ootoya.. you can eat there for 5 bucks not 83$.. the guy is straight lying the whole video.. he sucks.

I wish there was more of an opportunity for micro housing in NJ and all over the US, but it’s still so expensive

If you have a fixed contract, and patience/luck you might find one. However many people don't have a stable job. This lady is perhaps selling her body every other day...

So much for being progressive 🥱🥱🥱

i doubt she stays there, probably cheaper internet cafe also would massively prefer this to a share house

She's fleeing domestic violence from the main man supppsed to protect her and thatbis traumatic. No way would she feel comfortable sharing with strangers to feel safer and get some form of rest in her exhausted present situation

Not sure if she even knows alternative places to stay

Yeah, I live in Tokyo, and my apartment(not a share house) rent is $350 a month. To be honest, these accommodations in Tokyo are not that cheap. She can probably find cheaper apartments even in Shinjuku if you look for them.

@@drewbinskyBut she speaks Japanese and is 21. I find it hard to believe she doesn’t know. She spends her whole salary on rent??

She's almost certainly lying and the guy is clueless or just wants the clicks and doesn't care. First of all she's clearly not even a native Japanese speaker despite claiming to be raised in Japan (she has an accent), and at her income level she could afford MUCH better accommodation. I lived in Tokyo personally for $500 / month. The big sunglasses to hide her face make it even more likely lmao

we don't know all the details in her story to judge like this. sadly i was only able to spend an afternoon with her to tell this story, but it's not complete

@@drewbinskyI think that’s why there are many comments like this. Her story doesn’t really make sense. You should have found someone had no choice but to live in Internet cafes from time to time. I didn’t think she was a good representation

Drew is right, we dont know the whole story of this Lady to jump into conclusion, One thing is visible, She is very traumatized because of the abusive father and screaming for help. Hoping we can help find her mother in the Philippines

Maybe because she ran away, she doesn't have the proper documents and identification to apply for public assistance. Those things require really troublesome paperwork in many countries including Japan. Plus if you have mental health problems, you might have to prove it with a diagnosis from a doctor, which is even more paperwork and obstacles. I agree that there are apartments that cost much cheaper, but again, most landlords might require documents and a few months of deposit/down payment. In Japan the deposit/down payment can be more than 1 additional month of rent because some landlords charge "key money". And some landlords might refuse to have a tenant who works in a hostess bar because the culture still view red light district work as "shameful". The only thing I'm wondering about is why she doesn't go to a cheaper internet cafe. I'm just confused because it's really easy to find cafes in Shinjuku that charge much less than that for a 12-hour stay (I've quickly found one through a Google search). Or maybe she doesn't feel safe elsewhere?

That's right. She must be an ignorant and lonely person.

Thanks!

I honestly believe she has a better life in the Philippines if she decides to stay with her mom. But who am I to know.

I do understand your point about the possible misrepresentation of some of the facts about cost of living in Tokyo and what not but it is true that Japan has a huge problem with many people living in Internet cafes and the like. The country claims to have a supposedly low homeless population but the reason for that is that while homeless, people who live in cafes and such have shelter and as such are considered as truly homeless. Additionally, Japan has a tendency of shutting down homeless encampments and forcing them into the countryside and outside of the city thereby giving the appearance of a lower homeless population in comparison to other big cities. These facts are damning enough on their own and I think this story would have been better served without the exaggeration/misrepresentation over cost of living in Tokyo vs. living wage. All of this doesn’t even get into the topic of Japan’s ongoing struggle with homelessness in teens due to bad home life and poor support systems for them. As well as the steadily increasing number of homeless elderly people due to the rapidly aging population. As an outsider looking in (specifically as an American) the homeless crisis in Japan seems far different from how it is in other countries. Even in anime I’ve noticed that being homeless in Japan always seems like more of a job than it is in other countries as there always appears to be very little support options available for them. Instead the only way a character is ever depicted as escaping their homeless situation is if they have family who either decides to take them back or take them in. I’ve never seen any depictions of shelters or even resources offering aids for those in crisis. Instead the most help offered always appears to be in the form of soup kitchens held in public parks. Meanwhile the government officials spend all their time and resources shutting down encampments and people away from the makeshift communities they establish for themselves. I understand that this is fiction however I’ve found this portrayal of homeless life in japan to be consistent among every program I’ve seen where the topic is brought up leading me to believe that this stuff is considered common knowledge in Japan.

@@Ama0890 no it's not possible misrepresentation of some facts. it's total and utter lies and misrepresentation of pretty much every "fact" and information in the entire video. Homelessness in Tokyo and Japan is childsplay compared to any major city in the US. Having a job and living in a manga cafe or internet cafe is NOT homeless and many people that do it prefer it. There are homeless on the streets here in Tokyo but so few compared to any major North American city and they're even allowed to sleep inside the train stations at night. Soup kitchens in public parks, governmetn shutting down encampments? You're talking about your own country. Tokyo has all sorts goverment support programs as well as NPO's should people c hoose to use them. Most of the few homeless that do exist prefer to actually be homeless. Stop drinking the coolaid.

21 sq meters is nothing tho..that's 226 sq feet. My sister lives in the apartment in my house and it's double that size for 1200 USD.

From my experience, everything in Shinjuku is insanely expensive. Kabukicho is interesting to see, but generally I was not a fan of Tokyo.

Yes and that there is a huge TV / computer with internet included !

Well, I live in Tokyo, and my apartment rent is $350 a month. To be honest, these accommodations in Tokyo are not that cheap. She can probably find cheaper apartments even in Shinjuku if she look for them.

@@user-qm7jw Yeah I am a foreigner living in Shinjuku in my own apartment and I pay much less than she's paying at the internet cafe. Apartments are ridiculously cheap here compared to any other developed country. It's misleading to present Tokyo as a super expensive city when it's not. The prices listed here are way off too. The $230 taxi ride would less than $5 on the train. You can get a hotel room like that for well under $100, not $190. That restaurant that supposedly costs $83 for a meal is Kura Sushi and only costs $0.70 per plate. You could eat over 100 plates of sushi for $83. Current minimum wage in Tokyo is $7.06 per hour which is over $1200 if working full time, not $700.

@Craigtcs Great comment! It’s too bad most will scroll away after the first 4 or 5 words. These days, far too many people immediately stop accepting new information the instant they detect an opposing opinion. These people are prime targets for trolls/bots from consumer marketing to political propaganda. Many will knowingly and/or unknowingly help entities with very bad intentions by taking bits and pieces of information from real social problems, manipulating then multiplying these “hot button” issues. Many seem to thrive on repeating crazy talking points, conspiracy theories, and other crazy messaging that only reenforces their existing perceptions and opinions its really quite concerning how far people go to protect themselves from being wrong on social media.

Yeah I have a lot of unused footage from North Korea and beyond!

Or maybe make second channel to upload such videos...

@@drewbinskyhey Drew I know I’m just a random commenter and you’re famous, just wanna let you know that I got my whole family watching you now they love the content. My mom just watched your video meeting the 107 year old getting the tattoo and she loved it. Keep up the great stuff man! If you do have extra clips of North Korea, that would get you a lot of views, because I personally started watching you years ago when you went to North Korea. People want to see footage of it now especially , since it’s shut down, only Russians can access it.

@@Air0utt_The weird basketball player named Dennis Rodman used to go there all the time!

@@melanieford2511 what does Dennis Rodman have to do with me asking Drew for his extra travel vlogging clips? Lol no offense

she is lying.. this dude was lied to and he has no clue what he is talking about.. I lived in Tokyo for 4 years, everything she said was lies and the guy who made the video cant speak the local language enough to know he was swindled.. This video pissed me off alot. 11% of japanese real estate is vacant and you can get an apartment for 40,000 yen per month aka under $300/mo. in tokyo.

I will share with her, thanks for the note

The internet cafe offers all-you-can-drink drinks such as Coca-Cola and Fanta, all-you-can-eat ice cream, and shower facilities, so you can cut down on utility costs and save time on cleaning.

@@ともこともこ-k3r meanwhile you gain a lot of weight eating all that junk food such as ice cream and soda.

Thanks for the clarifications

I had a room in share house for $400 dollars a month .. in the middle of Tokyo.

If you're a tourist you can survive for a time, but can't imagine the rent prices + no kitchen + all the bills with a salary of 1200$ in a completely overpopulated city and ridiculous cost of living. And ramen is like the cheapest meal uou can eat in Tokyo, barely feeds you for an hour.

@@sonwansu that stuff fed me enough for the wohle eveving. My point it that he made it sound so much more expensive than it acutally is.

@@max.tierfotografieagreed. I was just there for a week. Not that expensive as it sounds

@@amanofculture2261 Tokyo is not expensive if you compare it with a lot of countries, that thing that you are missing is that these people are not travellers, they probably never left Japan, these people are people working minimum wage and barely surviving, you can't compare the cost of living of a local to that of a tourist. Go to Vietnam and say it's cheap! Yes, it's crazy cheap! But the a big part of the population make around 300$ per month. You don't have the right perspective because you are just visiting. And I've been to Tokyo as well.

@@amanofculture2261 I hope you had a great time here. I got a couple days left here.

Tips I'm sure she gets tips on top of that.

That’s what I thought

I believe it. In America As a full time worker I make $1800 a month. My Rent is $1800 a month.

@@SashaohahahamsI’m in America also. It’s impossible to live on your own. 2 incomes are needed.

​@@ontheroad5555 there is no tipping culture in Japan, but perhaps her customers give her gifts. Thats much more common in Japan.

she is lying.. she wants free money this dude was lied to and he has no clue what he is talking about..

Renting is difficult in Japan. You need to provide references and stuff, and even then the landlords are discriminative. There was a youtuber that raised $90K for a homeless girl that went viral and she still remained homeless because no one would rent to her without proper documents.

True

@@drewbinsky lmao

You will get banned

then go outside

@@niamhturner1451 If I go down I’m taking everybody down

The more expensive areas of Tokyo are Minato City which includes Roppongi Hills, Azabu and Asakasa. Chiyoda City (stayed in Chiyoda the times I've gone to Japan, loved it) and Shibuya City which includes Shibuya (there's extensive neighborhoods away from the skyscrapers), Ebisu and Harajuku. Shinjuku generally isn't overly expensive. The cost of living in Japan compared to say the US is WAY lower (the beginning of the video is VERY misleading) and people are able to live comfortably for the cost that here in the US many would consider is struggling for a single person (i.e. $30k/year)

@@emssasukeisunderrated7946 Thank you. That's the same thing my buddy says. He makes about $50,000 per year from what he tells me and he says he can live way better than he could when he was staying in NYC making $85,000 per year.

My Tokyo rent converted to USD is $374, and what I have is considered the median for a single person in Tokyo. There are plenty of cheaper places than mine. I think the girl in the video just doesn't know there are cheaper and better options available because she's young.

@@endingxtheme What are of Tokyo did you live at by the way?

@@emssasukeisunderrated7946 I've been living in Tokyo for 12 years. I've lived in Toshima, Nerima, Suginami, Shinjuku, and now I live in Setagaya not so far from Shibuya.

its super sad because he is spreading lies HARD..

because its all lies and fraud

correct, something doesn't add up

Lying. The accent. Not revealing her face. And math.

yea drew, go get swindled somewhere else next! swallow some more lies somewhere else!

Salamat po!

Facts

She's probably Filipino. Why even go to Japan these days? Philippines is actually better now than it used to be like 20 yrs ago.

How then is she able to get into an internet cafe? I remember when I visited in 2012, when I wanted to get in just to use the internet (I was staying at a business hotel), I was told that unless I had a Japanese driver's license or identification, I couldn't get in. Oh, nevermind. Her family situation explains it.

Her dad maybe is japanese?

I think she’s mixed, she’s half Filipino and Japanese. The fact that she went to school there when she was young gives you a clue and she speaks fluent Japanese too. It’s just so sad that her parents separated because of her alcoholic father who physically abused her.

Could be the case. She never stated how long she's been living there, just that she ran away from home

That’s her base pay as a hostess! We all know how hostesses earn extra money. Don’t be a clueless dingleberry calling her a liar!

You just described women 😂

bleeding heart for someone who doesent derve it, she is straight lying.. nothing makes sense to anyone who has even basic Japanese.. Do yourself a favor and look at the tokyo subway and train maps.. only tourists and rich people pay for cabs. she is pulling on heart strings to get donations.

Same as a foreigner who's spent (and will continue to) spend time there and knows about Japanese policies, culture and language. At the very least the beginning of the video and whole video premise is very misleading. Still, I hope she is able to get out of her unfortunate situation

I’m flying now to China where I’ll be spending the next 3 weeks !

@@drewbinsky oh that’s awesome! What area/region? I’ve been here for a super long time (from the US originally)… currently way up north. Safe travels!
