Past simple

I found what might be one of the most unique places I've ever seen.

It's like, it's not a hotel, this is actually their homes, let's jump right in and check it out, Cheerio pretty excited to show this one.

We're gonna start by taking off our shoes and this is what the area looks like.

First off and here is the capsule that we get to take a look at today.

Full confession usually surprises people for all my time in Japan.

I've never stayed at a capsule hotel once in my entire life and wow, this is what the space is like.

Now there is more storage space spread throughout this place that I will show you later on.

I think the short term, I could probably imagine myself living here my first ever apartment in Japan that I lived in for a year.

Well obviously being an actual room with higher ceilings was only about 2 to 2.5 the size of this room here.

It was insanely tiny and I lived there for a year because I was never home, but in one of our previous videos, we met Okazaki San who lives in a very small space.

She's a design student and her view on things really brought a new perspective to the video and so I actually brought her along today and I want to go grab her now and see if we can't get her reaction to this and how she would use it.

Just a few interesting notes on this place.

Not only are there a bunch of capsules but the building also has multiple floors.

Were lucky enough to get permission to film on this floor while everybody is out for the morning and all the capsules are handmade.

And for some reason the company seems to be really proud of that fact.

And pricing and whatnot will be covered in just a minute.

So let's see what Okazaki san thinks of this place.

So since quite a few people live here today, we only have access to a small portion of the living space plus the shared space.

I asked Pakistan if she thought she'd be able to live here herself.

And amazingly this place is only around 200 give or take a month and you might end up why that called it.

Japan does have plenty of bigger apartments by the way.

Like this place that I just moved into here.

It was all the way to three or four bedrooms.

One of them is a corner balcony but more often than not in Tokyo for a bigger place, you're obviously going to be paying more or you also have the option to move outside of Tokyo.

But then if you're working in the city, then you've got to pay for the commute in and out every single day.

Especially if you're one of those people who's working multiple jobs and trying to get ahead in life or you're just living there temporarily.

Obviously I'm showing lots of tiny apartments.

I can understand why people would think that all of the apartments are tiny.

I just like the tiny places because they're really interesting and they give a bit of a different perspective.

I just moved into this like two or three days ago.

I think maybe next time maybe next time we should do a tour around this.

And that brings me to the obvious question of whether you think you would be able to live in one of those capsules, whether it be short term, long term, a week, a month.

If it was like when I first came to Japan and I owned nothing and the place was empty like this, I could probably pull it off for a short stay.

Let me know your thoughts down in the comment as well as if you would like to see a tour of my new place, I'm gonna be here for a while.

So thank you guys so much for watching today and I will see you again also a very huge and important.

Okazaki san for joining us once again, everybody in the comments last time was like, you've got to bring her back.
