So this building behind me right here is filled with interesting and potentially controversial apartments, each with its own catch and today we're going to head inside and check out a few.

Modal verbs - A2

So this place is called Sakura Sakura and you can actually see right into one of the units up there.

It's located in the northern part of Tokyo and our first unit is right here.

This is apparently supposed to be a garden space.

Kind of guess that would work as a garden space, but the real shocker is the room itself, there's the bed, that's it.

It's just that right there and this is your shower.

Well if your toilet right there, that is just, I honestly wonder if you can even sit, I'm gonna hover here a little bit.

I feel like you'd still have to lean forward a bit and then you'd be staring at your bed and the shower.

But on the plus side you have a lot of leg room, which is definitely more than I can say for the next unit, I'm gonna show.

But right out of the gate, this place is far from being sound perfect.

Women next door having a conversation right now and oh wow, okay, now this window space does open up.

So if you wanted to you could not use this space because it's not usable is not usable.

What we're going to go ahead and close that And I would assume that this space under the bed opens up for some kind of storage.

Kind of kind of and this door here, right near the front of the room opens up.

So I guess if you wanted to, you could just air out the entire place and the next room is a little, I don't want to say crazier, but think crazier is going to be the right words.

No, two rooms in this place are the same.

It was built by a designer and has a bit of a design concept for each room.

One room, The bath is the main, another room, The kitchen is the main point, another room.

This place was originally all designed to be like one big house, a place where your friends could pop in and out.

Kind of like a share house but ended up just becoming an apartment with separate unit.

Sorry, I instantly got distracted as soon as I walked into this room.

I have never seen an apartment like this before.

Okay, so you've got your toilet there and you've got, I guess what you would call a half bath right here, that is so tiny.

And then how would you, can you even No, there's no space, there's no way you'd be able.

Okay, so they told me the toilet was in a bit of a tight space.

This is movable ish, kind of, but even with the latter moved, you stood up this pole right here.

One of the big benefits of this place are the large windows which can take a small space and really make it feel more open.

But it's also a double edged sword when it comes to privacy.

Especially if you live in one of the units that faces the street because people can just see right into your apartment.

I don't know, maybe maybe some people like that but let's that's jacket at these speeds and this is the quote unquote sleeping space window here opens as well.

I've got kind of a long upper body but even I can sit up and stare mystery hole but you have your air conditioning unit right here and then the mystery hole.

Mr hall obviously not all homes in Japan are like this.

There are bigger places which shouldn't need to be said but but some people just don't need bigger spaces.

But I met two of the residents who live here, they both have the apartments that face the road over there and they both sought out living in a smaller space.

So do you guys know uh countries uh the Oconee toilet are there?

Well neither of us were about, you must stay the economic schedule.

So we're going to see a coin and see that's what depending on their income here.

So the cost of this place works out to about 50-60,000 yen a month.

About $5, And his next door neighbor has also agreed to show us her apartment.

So because like senses, She's never seen either of the other units and she'd like to check them out.
