The only RU-vidr who informs all his potential stalkers almost exactly where he lives

Now I know he said it was the most transparent apartment tour, but remember that knowing where he lives doesn't mean you should go there uninvited to meet him. Be cool.

Sharehouses are underrated! I've seen a lot of foreign students move to Japan and get an apartment, but in a few months end up hating it because it's either too expensive or it's too small or not in a convenient neighborhood. Sharehouses allow you to get started living in Japan right away, save money, and let you get a feel for things so when you are ready to move into an apartment, you have a better idea of what to expect.

It's a good day when Shun updates 💕

At first I was like wow, 2 bathrooms, that is grand! "There's 11 bedrooms" O-oh

That ad transition was gold 👍 lol. I want to come to Japan for a month or so. Been looking into share houses for my time there.

Kichijoji was already high on my list for when I eventually live in Tokyo (moving to Sapporo next year...it's complicated). This video really seals the deal. I'm a musician, and two of my favorite live houses are there: Sliver Elephant and Crescendo.

That was the most seamless ad transition & yes, I watched through the whole thing !

Day just got better when Shun uploads! much love bro 🙌

I used to live in a shared house as well, but let me tell you one thing. Moving to your own apartment/house is a major upgrade.

unrelated but your music taste is 🤌🏻✨ every song snipped you've used so far has been added to my playlist

1:01 Only real Men of Culture know the brand of this particular daily necessity.... and it's great. Happy to find out SHUNchan is a Man of Culture.

my man shun has his 'daily necessity' priorities in order 👏

Okay, not going to lie. This looks pretty amazing. I'm not the type of person who would want to live with a bunch of strangers, but... I'm planning to move to Japan in the semi near future & this will definitely be at the top of my list for living accommodations.

編集のテンポがイイし、独特の喋り方がまたクセになる〜😍 シェアハウス紹介もスパイシーで飽きがこないナイスな👍構成でもっと見たいナぁ🍡

Definitely appreciate this video Shun, as someone trying to make my way out to Japan, I was concerned about foreigner friendly living spaces as I've heard the nightmare stories. I'm not a content creator so it feels just harder for the average person to come without a job already lined up, so could you maybe do a video on some foreigner friendly companies to work for? I feel like no one talks about that

that's got to be the best in-video sponsored content transition LOL nice work Shun 🤣

Very nice, it’s much like living on campus in a university dormitory situation. Except when I went to university, you had to share rooms with one other. Great area! You edit very well.

Shared rooms in America are really not too common. A couple of people can share an apartment which is almost the same thing. In my younger years, I would have minded it less than now. The two big problems are privacy and theft. So if you get good people, you're set. But in American there's a misconception of the "shared" part actually means. Perhaps that's not a problem in Japan. 😊

Fabulous location and for young people just starting out, your shared house looks pretty convenient and very affordable. Thanks for sharing what your living arrangements are. Looks great!

I visited Kichijoji last night and had some things in harmonica alley! Such a cool place!

The transition is giving me That's So Raven vibes and I'm here for it

its the advertisement transition that got me lmaooo, fantastic video friend! that area looks so nice too.

I could not imagine sharing a kitchen and shower with 10 other people, but in all honesty, the actual space in your share house isn't that bad. In fact, the rent is really cheap. I pay $425 for a room relatively the same size, but I share facilities with much fewer people. And for living in Arizona, it can be very expensive running air conditioning for 8 months a year, and yet the homeowner doesn't make us pay more for utilities during those months, so I think it's a blessing :)

Group living can be really cool if you live with the same people for some time, you become like a family

I would move there in a heartbeat, I went to Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, but finding a job that willing to give me a visa to move is hell.

Very useful video. I have no plans on sharing a house at all, but if living alone really turns out to be the hassle that you say, I guess I can share a house until I can settle in another place all for myself. With that said, I would feel very lucky if I ended up sharing a house with someone willing to show me around and maybe teach me more about the language, cuz I still kinda suck at it.

The two showerheads in one bathroom is perfect for couples!!

Greetings from Philippines 🇵🇭! Watching this video makes me miss staying at a sharehouse in Japan! I stayed in Kyoto though, and my host there is super nice, and I still keep in touch with her and her family. I would love to go back to Tokyo too. I can definitely appreciate Kichijoji more and have fun there if I ever make it back to Japan! My goal is to visit as much prefectures as I can! So far, I have been to 15-16 out of 47!

God Shun your production quality is absolutely top notch. Excellent editing as always. Blows my mind every video! I do hope that "fans" don't show up at your house though! There are a lot more crazy people out there now that Japan is fully open!

What strikes me is how clean it is, no garbage everywhere like a British city. Japanese clearly take pride in their surroundings.

A friend of mine used to live in this huge house like this, they had to bathrooms, one kitchen lounge room area and there were around 7 bedrooms as well. Each paid for their own room separately, it was for university living, they were nice people

Paused the video.He just Doxed himself. I really like the video.

i NEED that rap song that starts before going into your room...i need it man...

The sponsor transition omg! Love it! I was smiling to much!

Every other home tour "we've closed the blinds to keep where we live a secret because fans can be creepy" Shun's home tour "So here is the exact address of where i live and these are my tissues, condoms and tenga" 😂😂

Happy Christmas Shun and all the best for 2023!

Watching Shun chan’s video while having lunch is a must when he uploads 😤

And reason #6, my girlfriend lives here as well! But seriously this is a great recommendation if even just for the Ghibli Museum. I’m going to have to come back to spend more time here the next time I’m in Tokyo.

Japan: Cleanest country with its cleanest people!

This is actually a really good idea!! I mean, shared house vs nice apartment... to me the apartment obviously wins (ossumung it's not a 10 sq ft box in downtown Tokyo, lol). However, if you'te busy trying to establish yourself (like if you're a college student or off-the-boat foreigner), then you can use your time in the shared house to establish residency, and then use that residency to bolster your credibility for other things (credit rating, job interviews, apartment screening, etc)

man i was wondering where you've been and i check your channel sometimes. finally you uploaded!

Skinless 1000 -> perfectly prepared 🙌 !

I knew I recognized the station at the start! I studied abroad at ICU close to Musashisakai (which is like 2 stations down), and definitely spent a lot of my free time hanging out around Kichijoji. It had a really great vibe to it, and had lots of places to eat, drink and to shop around (lots of well-known thrift stores there). It's a really great neighborhood that is a bit less well known outside of Japan and won't be as packed with tourists.

Shun! We missed you! I did a spit-take with my tea when you comically opened your treat box! What a laugh I had. Your neighborhood looks great and this shared housing deal seems fantastic. You deserve all the breaks you get.

I really enjoy your videos, but I can't be the only one who wonders why you (or anybody) wants to live in Tokyo. Japan is so beautiful. and there is so much to see - Tokyo is just another mega-city.

That's actually not bad at all for 350$. A friend of mine who's studying here in Cologne Germany pays 500Euro for a smaller Room. I think for Tokyo it's seems fairly cheep and like a little hidden Gem.

10/10 recommend living in a share house! I lived in a share house in Tokyo for 1.5 years and it was amazing. I'm still good friends with some of the people I met there and can't wait to visit them now that Japan is open to tourists again. If I ever decide to move back to Japan I will also look for a share house first. The one I lived in was under a company called Social Apartment and it was super nice.

Hello Shun, great video! Please keep them coming. One thing though, you have shared a lot of private information about your residence in this video. I hope you don't get any unwanted guests or stalkers! Stay safe.

Sneaking in a clip of you buying a Tenga is pure gold

I absolutely would love to visit Japan some day. I just don't really see it happening. I love the look and vibe of commercial and urban residential areas in your cities.

"The ground is so stable that it can withstand Earthquakes..." Me:SOLD! (And initially I was looking at going to Fukuoka or Osaka...)

Tenga being a daily necessity 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

TY for another amazing video Shun!!!!!!!!!!

Always LOVE your videos Shun Chan!! Thank you for being so transparent about your awesome lifestyle! かこいですよ☺️

Sunroad and Harmonica yokocho are some of my favorite places to go to in Kichijoji! I always loved all the towns along the Chuo Line, besides Kichijoji, there's Nakano, Koenji, Tachikawa among my favorite places. Cost of living is also hell of a lot cheaper than central Tokyo (I define "central" as anywhere within the Yamanote line lol). I used to go to Yokota AFB on business trips a lot, and would stay in Tachikawa and totally fell in love with that city. I told myself if I ever lived around Tokyo, i'd pick Tachikawa to live. I heard they finished construction last year for Green Springs shopping center, I bet that area is even nicer nowadays!

hope your roommates were cool with you sharing your exact location with 300k subscribers!

you are probably the only youtuber who tells people exactly where you live

Stumbled on to this video have had an interest in Japan for decades good to learn some more facts thanx for posting...

That was the best Tokyo treat ad I’ve ever seen.

Since Japanese houses are all built like paper apparently and you WILL hear your neighbours even if you don't share with them .. 350 for this much space seems pretty good for Tokyo.

Thanks for your hard work you put on your videos for us to learn more about Japan😊

always air dry bath towels. Wash once they retain odors and use more than 1 towel if they are not dry in time to reuse.

Very-nice segue into the sponsorship ;)

Make sure you stay safe especially when showing exactly where you live

Born and raised in America here and I wash my towels everyday. I’m also a germaphob and feel that air drying just dries bacteria and mold on your towel from the water. Yes, you’re clean but water still has bacteria especially tap/shower water

That's a cool spot Shunchan! Never heard of share houses but that place is huge for Japanese standards! Can't beat that price either!

The swap to the ad was great! Totally got me.

i wish we had places like this over here. Would solve a lot of housing problems we have

If I ever go to Tokyo, I'm gonna just crash on Shun's floor. Thanks for the invite, Shun!

@Kingkogi loved it there! She's the one who broadened my knowledge of it.

Love the way you segwayed in that Tokyo Box lol

Wow, the only way you could get closer to the subway station is if you lived inside one of the trains😂. Perfect neighbourhood and location👌! The share house doesn't look bad at all... It's clean, and your bedroom is a decent size. Hahaha flexing on your condom stash, I see you Shunchan 👀. As a Canadian🍁I air dry my towels and repeat use a few times before washing. Better for the environment. Congrats on your new home!!!🥳 Please make more videos, you're ADORABLE and the wait until your next video is always too long 🥺💔 Byeeee 👋😘

This video made me become a member of your supporters. Keep up the good work!

that was a damn good transition i have to say! Always enjoy watching these videos! and the quality is getting better and better with each video.

top notch as always shunchan. best music taste on yt ;)

Love the transition to the sponsor!

This video made my day. Respect to Shun 👍

Have a lot of artist friends who moved to Japan for a while and can confirm the sharehouse is the way to go. Looks like a nice setup; thanks for the vid!

TENGA GIVE THIS MAN A SPONSORSHIP

yeeea it's not even a joke, actually TENGA is quite useful thing, I love this channel🤩

That Tokyo treat transition was so good haha!

Kichijoji is great! Good to see you're enjoying it as well!

I’ve lived in 3 different share houses before moving to an apartment and I also loved it. Of course there are inconveniences but the positive side makes you forget about it. I even miss it sometimes

Thanks for letting us know this staff bro.

YOOOO SHUNCHANNNN 💖💖💖🤩🤩🤩🤩 I was just thinking haven't seen you for ages!! Love the vid as always and hope you thriving brother!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I guess I'm too old now (in my mid-30s), but even when I was younger, I could not imagine living with 10 other people! In my college dorm, I had my own room and only shared a bathroom with two others. When I lived in an apartment with friends, the most I had was 4 other roommates. And I thought that was lot, honestly. These days, I have my own 2bdr apartment for under 1000 USD. That said, I can certainly see the appeal of the share house, especially with the flexibility of the contract, and of course, someone coming to clean the house!

350 for all inclusive is really good price!!

adorable as always. I air dry my bath towel outside. Not good if a city with sooty air but. Share house sounds ideal for someone starting out. Kind of like a dormitory . Is it safe and secure? Hope you enjoy it!

Congrats on the new place! Seems like a great place to be 😊

Nice to hear from you again, Shun-san. Please post more videos more often about interesting topics about Nihonjin society.

Shunchan always looks drippy. All hail our captain!

Its amazing how the rent in Japan is so affordable compared to Singapore..

Interesting video. I sometimes wonder how Japanese people feel living with non-Japanese people. Or even see them walking around if the city or area is normally not visited by foreigners.

Absolutely loved every minute

love your content shun 🌹

Probably best for the person living in a shared house to also know how to speak Japanese as im sure the family that will also be living there will speak Japanese primarily.

o.m.g. he looks sooooooo happy. Those snacks must be amazing. I should probably buy some!!!

I loved the Ghibli museum when I went there
