  • Hey, guys, welcome to the apartment.

  • It's finally here.

  • I just wanted to give you a quick heads up before the apartment.

  • It begins.

  • I have filmed this twice The first time that I filmed it, uh, something went wrong with my camera and everything was really blurry.

  • And I also filmed on a rainy day, So I'm gonna be using footage from the last time and this time that I filmed.

  • So it's gonna be different.

  • Lighting's different everything, really, because it was a rainy day.

  • Now it's a really, really hot diets, like 33 degrees today.

  • But you get to see the house both when it's sunny and when it's a rainy day.

  • And also if anyone here is new to the channel.

  • Hi, my name's Emma.

  • I make videos about my life here in Japan and also just heads up Everyone.

  • I've joined twitch, so if you want to join in having a chat, I do a little cooking things.

  • The last few streams I did, I made some, um, issue, and I tried lots of clear drinks from Japan.

  • I just do a bunch of fun stuff, and we can have a chat, and it's just a really good time.

  • So if you want to join, I'll leave a link in the description down below.

  • If you want to join on twitch.

  • Also, all the information about, like, the cost of this place and everything is at the end of the video.

  • So yeah, you get that at the end, Okay.

  • Without further ado, let's stop the apartment to us.

  • Now.

  • Of course, we have to start it.

  • First place you enter into which is the gang gone?

  • Now?

  • I'm not actually that excited to show you the gang because it looks kind of gross.

  • But it's not the most beautiful looking gang gone.

  • Maybe one day we'll do something nice to it, but, you know, it's just in interest way.

  • It does the job.

  • So before, I had, like, an extra cover to put shoes in.

  • But here that cupboard is built into the warren.

  • It's very tall and skinny sitting here.

  • We have our shoes and I really like you about keys on these old books.

  • And I also keep my hyung call here, which is basically like my signature.

  • So when a parcel comes, I can just stamp it and and sign for it that way.

  • Also, our neighbors just left the building that being there for, like, eight years or something, but we decided to take this off them.

  • This sits in a way, and it has emergency supplies in it.

  • So plant in radios and food everything like that in case of a disaster.

  • Also, it's very great to sit on that and put your shoes on.

  • So maybe one day I'll cover it with something nice because this pit stain, but it's very useful.

  • Okay, so straight up from there, if you turn this way, is the bathroom.

  • It's kind of inconvenient cause the places that need the most work or at the start of the tour.

  • So, yeah, just know it's isn't this isn't quite done yet.

  • Way have a mint green bath and cream tiles, tires green cream.

  • And I brought all my stuff from your place.

  • So it's a dark blue curtain and adopt rock, but I know that there's gotta be a better color palette out there.

  • Also, the dark blue means that you can't see anything while you shower.

  • It's so dark, so if you guys have any ideas of what would match mint green and let me know.

  • I kind of want to avoid, like, a pink, though maybe a blue, like a life blue.

  • I don't know.

  • One thing that I do love about this place that wasn't at the last place is storage stored in the bathroom at the old place.

  • There was legitimately no storage in the bathroom.

  • Nothing.

  • And it made life just a little bit more difficult.

  • So now we have this bathroom cabinet and we also have just installed behind the door this little guy.

  • It's not actually really touching.

  • Crowned, let's see if I can show you.

  • So originally, this just did not work.

  • It was uneven on flat floors, and it was very uneven on the bathroom, which is uneven already.

  • So I put together some little, very small wooden block that just picked up this corner and pushed it kind of like that.

  • Corn is not even touching.

  • The ground under this is touching the ground except for the very back corner over there.

  • Because I've done that, it means the bottom isn't touching the ground.

  • And this it just yep, salts into place.

  • Also, because there's no ventilation in here.

  • It gets very hot in the summer, so I'd like you to meet Flappy.

  • He's our little fan, so I got flappy the other day, and he makes the experience of being in this room a lot better.

  • It was just a nice little fan.

  • Give me a little bit of Bree's friends if you need, or if you need to air it out, saying, with this candle, you can light it if you need to.

  • You need to clear the room if you know what I mean.

  • Poop in.

  • So then, if you go from the bathroom to in here, this is Eric's room.

  • It's his area to play games, study, do whatever he wants.

  • It's his space.

  • So over there he plays his games and studies and everything.

  • That's his main spot.

  • And then usually when we eat, dinner will come and sit on this couch and will turn the monitor around and we'll watch.

  • Lately will be watching full metal alchemist.

  • It's been so good.

  • Love that series, and over there is a very deep cupboard which holds all of our suitcases and spare stuff, usually my tripods and everything as well.

  • One thing that I am very excited about in this room is on this little model of took your tower.

  • He put a hamster.

  • Okay, Then we give him our extreme straight into I didn't put the dishes away, and then we walked from Eric's room into the kitchen.

  • Hi.

  • Now, as you can see, I compared to my last place, especially the place is full of this kitchen is very spacious.

  • I can do many a lunch.

  • Also, today is a very rainy, cloudy and dark day.

  • That's why I'm using the ceiling lights right now, because the light outside is just very gloomy, very rainy.

  • It's really nice that I'm cooking to have actual light facing me while I could.

  • Because, you know, cooking in the dog go with Flores and lives in or anything just doesn't feel good.

  • Doesn't get you motivated.

  • So it's really nice to have actual daylight hitting me.

  • Well, come on, Jason.

  • Parts.

  • So, firstly, when you come in from over here is this corner, which has, uh right now it's a temporary thing.

  • Where we're keeping all about dry foods and cans and stuff on top.

  • We have a drying rack and all the cutlery there over there.

  • We've got a knife rack that are coming up, which is a really good idea.

  • Here we have the start.

  • It's pretty old fashioned.

  • It works totally fine, but it's, I feel like no matter how much I could clean it, it will never be actually clean.

  • Diesel, the sugars and spices that top and tea and then we have a good sized sink, very nicely size sink and enough shopping space.

  • I just wanted to let you know that the white chopping board is still with us, and it still fits very nicely over the sink.

  • We use the wooden cutting board for vegetables, and we use the white one for meat.

  • If you're wondering about my style choices with the wood and the white cupboards, it is a mistake.

  • I was going really well with the wood, but then we ran out of wood stickers, and the place that I got them from doesn't sell them anymore.

  • And so now I have to get different kinds of wood Stick is that aren't gonna match that, have to take it all off and reading the whole thing, So that's why it stopped halfway, and that's why I'm sad about it.

  • Underneath that we keep all of our pots and pans and basically everything, and it's all very jam packed.

  • The place that I looked in before had a lot more storage in this place.

  • So we've gradually had to buy things to keep adding more storage to the place so we can actually put out stuff away.

  • So now we have enough places to put stuff away.

  • But every places the disaster.

  • Over here we have a cute little black fridge.

  • It's small, but it's not for two people.

  • So does well.

  • On top of the fridge.

  • We have all of our most used utensils.

  • We have some flowers that Howard bought me Layla, and we have a cactus in some kitchen roll.

  • We bought this cabinet ourselves.

  • It did not come with the place.

  • I got it off Rocket 10.

  • It was a bit difficult to put together, but it works now.

  • The one thing is, it's not earthquake proof yet, but I did just order online some really small earthquake proof holders.

  • Beer.

  • We just keep all of our plates and cups there.

  • There's space for the microwave, and down here we have rice cooker and cattle.

  • Now, if you worried about the steam?

  • I've already talked to a lot of people about this, but if you're worried about the steam, it's okay.

  • Because you could just pull this out.

  • The shelf pulls out.

  • So while we cook and boil things, all the steam rises up.

  • Doesn't affect anything when it's super convenient.

  • I love it.

  • I love it.

  • I love it.

  • And yet there is electricity that runs through the cabinet, which touches to the wall.

  • Over there Now, right next to it is a beautiful table.

  • A beautiful dining table.

  • I'll show you what we use it for.

  • We use it for the little girl.

  • The beautiful little girl that is lost.

  • The hamster.

  • Oh, hello.

  • Did you hear us talking about you?

  • I was going.

  • How you doing?

  • Come on.

  • You do it.

  • Come on.

  • Only up.

  • Yeah, well Oh, aren't you a good girl?

  • Oh, my goodness.

  • Look at that.

  • Good go.

  • So this is the third member of our family, and I would love to use as a dining table.

  • I think she's been more of piracy.

  • She always leaves a foot.

  • Hang you for some reason.

  • I never know why she's not supposed to wait just yet.

  • So she lives over here on the table and she comes out for a walk quite often, will have her on the bed, and we'll play with her and give have vegetables and stuff.

  • And she's great.

  • She's a really good hamster over in the corner.

  • We just have a little cleaning supplies right now because I don't know where to put them.

  • So Vacuum broom will that kind of stuff.

  • And in front of it, we have a very straggly monster, which I really need to report, but I haven't found the time to get a bigger part.

  • I don't know if I can truly show you how much space there is, but it's quite spacious.

  • It's really nice, and there's even storage up there.

  • It's just a good time.

  • I love this room so much so then you move from the kitchen into the booth.

  • Thankfully, we just got our mattress in before we were sleeping on a very, very thin mattress topper on the floor because we had no other bed, and it is such a relief to be able to sleep on a mattress.

  • It feels so good now.

  • A lot of people might have a problem with sleeping on a mattress on the floor or wonder if it's like an actual thing that maybe Japanese people do.

  • It's not.

  • Thing is there's a bed frame that I want so so badly, but it is very expensive, so I'm just saving up for it at the moment.

  • By the way, the kitchen and the bedroom is separated by these wooden sliding doors.

  • So when we wanna have some privacy in there, or if we want to turn on the air conditioning, we just like them across and it's all sealed off.

  • So we just put up my tapestry.

  • It's a little bit short.

  • This is the medium size from society six of a tapestry, but they do do biggest sizes, but I don't wanna have to buy another one.

  • So this is where we sleep, and it's so nice because I love waking up next to sunshine.

  • This'll Ace has two giant windows, this constantly light filtering in, which is just awesome, except today because it's a bit rainy and this is my work area.

  • I ordered the desk online again from Murdoch 10 but it was so short, especially with the desk drawers.

  • I couldn't cross my legs.

  • I can do anything.

  • It was just flat against me.

  • So we went out and we bought these little cork blocks.

  • We just got for those books and propped it up.

  • And now it's the perfect height for me underneath this, my chest of drawers from the old place, which I got from a second hand store.

  • Uh, and I just keep, you know, in my makeup and kind of things.

  • It's a bit of a mess, but you get the idea.

  • So in the morning, I can just sit here and do my makeup and watch something on you, Do you want?

  • This is what I do all my work and some Japanese this draw, and now I can finally see the sky while I edit.

  • It's so nice on a beautiful clear day because you can just seal the clouds rolling by.

  • But again, it's very rainy today, so it's also next to my desk is my focus.

  • I think it's happy when I first got it, it lost a 1,000,000 leaves and, you know, they're very fussy, so I kind of expected it.

  • But it seems to be okay.

  • No it seems to be growing and and doing okay, so fingers crossed.

  • I really want him to survive and just get big and beautiful.

  • So outside we have the washing machine.

  • It's quite common in Japan to have your washing machine outside, so it's very easy.

  • We can just take it straight from there and hang it up on our poll, so it's very quick and so much easier than taking it to the rooftop in the last place.

  • Also, I have this little guy here.

  • He's being grown, having a good time, enjoying being outside.

  • It's nice, have the other side of the balcony.

  • It's a little bit more of a mess, A ll that stuff up there.

  • I don't know what to do with probably good chest or something for out here.

  • Do you guys remember beefy?

  • He lives on.

  • I saved a cutting, even though he definitely did die.

  • There was one healthy branch, so I decided to try and propagate it and look, he's growing.

  • He's so much happier.

  • He definitely has grown more leaves since he's being here.

  • So he's getting more sun and he's so much happier than last time.

  • So say hello to be free to have a bunch of plants here, but I'm also growing tomatoes at the moment, but it feels good to have enough sunlight to be able to have really healthy plants.

  • Okay, that's it.

  • That's a tour.

  • That's the tour of our new house.

  • Still feels really great being here.

  • I love the neighborhood more than I can tell you.

  • It's just such a great place.

  • This apartment.

  • It's so spacious and give me more freedom.

  • I feel the amount of sunlight we get just gives me so much energy in life, and it feels so good.

  • And, yeah, Eric and I really happy here, sharing the space and living with each other and enjoying each other's company.

  • Okay, so for details each month we are paying 83,000 yen in rent, so split evenly.

  • That's 41,500 yen each, which to me and my brain is like $415 which a month is really good for this size place.

  • I love it so much.

  • I think it's perfect for two people.

  • It's just enough space with this apartment.

  • It's the same agency that I went through for my last department, so the movie was so easy.

  • That's why we could move in a week or we get 1/2.

  • There was such an easy process, unlike a lot of experiences that you can have in Japan when moving.

  • And yet I'm still not living in the center of Tokyo or anything.

  • I'm still living just a little bit out of the business, which suits me so well.

  • You know what?

  • I'm having the best time here.

  • It's so nice.

  • And things are just going on the right track.

  • If you enjoy this video and you want to keep up with my adventures, I have instagram, twitter and twitch.
