The zero and first conditional

Yeah if you have the money money, if money was no object.

Yes, this apartment ticks every box you could possibly want it to take, if you ever find yourself living in Japan odds are you're gonna be renting an apartment with the average cost of an apartment in Tokyo costing about 100,000 years or $1000 per month.

To-infinitive

But what if you had a blank check to live in the apartment of your dreams last month?

My good friend Alex who runs a luxury real estate company in Tokyo took us around $20,000 per month apartment in Central Tokyo which came with four bedrooms and even a secret rooftop garden.

Today though we're going on a tour of an apartment that not only cost more at $25,000 but it's designed for a single resident.

Uh I'm not really sure how it could be more expensive but be aimed at a single person.

So let's go and find out and see how it justifies that utterly ludicrous price tag.

Well it's good to see you again, Alex and scotty of course, yeah, it's great to see you chris munching around the boat, Alex is the founder of real estate and luxury real estate company and every couple of months he likes to take me to an absurd apartment and make me feel depressed.

Did you like the last place I took you to idea?

We went to a $20 apartment in Harajuku last time but surely you haven't got anywhere that is as ridiculous as that place was, You'd be mistaken.

This is the ultimate apartment for Tony Stark.

If he had one in the middle of Tokyo, this is actually a one bedroom apartment, one bedroom, this is a one bedroom apartment and is actually the largest one bedroom apartment and most expensive in all the band.

Okay, lets go and check out this absolutely ridiculous looking bachelor pad $25,000 a month.

Mhm The apartment we're looking at today is situated in Shibuya about as central as you can get in the Tokyo area and helping us film the apartment once again is fellow Youtuber charlotte who will also be looking at an $8 million Tokyo house.

Be sure to check it out after our tour of the bachelor pad.

So at the entrance of what is probably the craziest apartment, one bedroom apartment in all of Tokyo.

You can actually see into the apartment, but I'm guessing you can't use the elevator unless you've got a key right.

You actually need a key to get into the elevator and get up the elevator.

So yes, I've noticed there's an air conditioning unit for the entrance alone for this little tiny room.

An air conditioning unit and that is a pretty heavy duty 12.

That's better air conditioning than most apartments in Japan just for this one little room.

So you're ready to see the rest of this again.

What is the first thing you have to do when you get into a Japanese apartment or house, have a drink gin joint?

Yes, But right before that there's something you need to do to take your shoes.

So where do you put these shoes on the floor like an or in the closet or something or how about interview walking shoe closet?

I didn't realize it was gonna be that big.

I knew there was gonna be a closet, but I thought I'd be like, he would end there not be a whole room.

You have a little, you have a little space on the left and right.

Why do people need this machine space shoe closet?

Like I've got two pairs of shoes at best.

You probably need another 48 pairs to fit this place.

Hopefully the rest of the problem won't do that.

So you step in through this hallway, go right past the first of four toilets and you are in this insane living room.

You've got, you've got Tokyo Tower over there.

I mean that is one hell of a view and one hell of an echo as well.

Listen to the echo that gives you a sense of scale.

All right, so you are the head of a Middle Eastern oil company, right?

You come over to you, come over to Japan, right, where do you live?

This is the place for the kings of the Middle Eastern oil companies.

I can't become a king of the Middle Eastern oil company.

Can we have a like that where I can actually live here?

So I want to show you by the way, just what you get when you've paid 2.5 million yen or about $25,000 for an apartment.

This is where you would put your tv, right?

If you look really closely this is actually a wifi router.

This is built in and you have free wifi here Free Wifi for $25,000.

And as you can see this is absolutely insane.

This area is zones not for high buildings.

So this is one of the highest buildings over here, which means that you have pretty much other than that guy unobstructed views of most of the most populous parts of Tokyo.

How would you show this in a real estate matter with real estate terms?

I would say that you have unmatched views of downtown Tokyo and you can see what it looks like right now in the daytime, but just imagine what it's going to look like at night because you have a punky hills, you have Toronto mon hills over there as well and you also have that large red and white popsicles, Tokyo tower, just unbelievable views at night, especially, so there's one more thing I have to show you just in this kitchen area.

We step through here, we go to a little balcony, right?

And if you just follow me through, step right around here, you'll come and you'll see there's actually a second entrance over here.

What is important is So you have all this garbage from this crazy party that you just threw, where do you put it?

Normally in a Japanese apartment, you would have to take it all the way downstairs and put it in a big garbage room that's in a nice building, you could just maybe throw it off the balcony, Christie, throw it off the balcony, the peasants to the peasants below.

But if you are actually a normal person that lives here, you would step over here to this guy right here, the garbage storage room, you actually have your own personal garbage room which the guy that cleans the place every once in a while and what is your plants will actually come and empty for you periodically.

So that's what you get for this kind of money.

So we just saw what the kitchen looks like with a massive living room looks like you went outside.

Just imagine, okay, what's up those stairs?
