  • It's pretty nice.

  • Oh there's yoga, do yoga.

  • I do stretching.

  • There's yoga with a bear.

  • Hello bear.

  • Classic bear yoga of course just do a bit of stretching.

  • Mm That's 123.

  • Nice.

  • Okay we're gonna go get them legs up 2345.

  • This is classic bear yoga as the bear gets stretched.

  • So do I mind over matter guys, come on bear 1234 flexible.

  • These are pretty cool.

  • I might take this.

  • Is there some sort of ball as well?

  • What is this?

  • I don't think, I don't think that's how you use that for Sarah.

  • You gotta do stuff like this.

  • She's just being silly now ridiculous.

  • You know he said holding a child.

  • I mean it looks like it's attached to you.

  • It is.

  • So this is a cool place.

  • I would totally wake up early make myself a coffee in the kitchen which we should check out before the kitchen and the living room.

  • Oh wow this is their living room guys.

  • It's so stylish.

  • It's all very new.

  • This place only just open.

  • Um, so it's all fresh that new house, feel like feel the beautiful wood.

  • So one of the cool things about living at share designers, they have a lot of unique kind of facilities.

  • So we have free beer here, which is all, How many places do you live in?

  • We can get free beer.

  • Not many.

  • And free wine over in the wine fridge.

  • That's where I come in.

  • That's where I come in.

  • Free wine.

  • So it's kind of like a promotion they have going on.

  • We don't know how long it's lasting, but maybe when you come and live here you'll get free wine and beer.

  • It's not bad at all.

  • Also a very nice drink coffee, very nice coffee grinder, a bermuda kettle, beautiful for doing some nice coffee.

  • One is also, you know, this is a very good brand of carol to have them making coffee just fantastic.

  • I want one of these very expensive.

  • The toaster and oven, it's the same oven that anna has and it makes musical sounds what it's a fun like way to enjoy your kitchen experience.

  • That is pretty cool.

  • Actually, toaster is so cool.

  • So I'm a big fan and if you want to have the perfect bread, you put it in the toaster and you put water in it.

  • It steams it and it just comes out.

  • So perfect.

  • Even cheap bread taste better.

  • So stressful for toast but it's not check it out the kitchen for the toast.

  • Let's go to the kitchen boys.

  • It's pretty big, pretty big kitchen.

  • Not bad at all.

  • Ah as discussed before.

  • Here are the fancier.

  • Oh you put water here or something to get your perfect toast.

  • So good.

  • I want to live here just for this toaster and everything.

  • He said it makes bread absolutely delicious.

  • Can verify for me as a baker, this oven that speaks to me.

  • It's a very nice mood oven.

  • Not bad at all.

  • I mean mine's bigger than this but you know it's about the power and how much you can do.

  • It's pretty nice actually.

  • Not bad at all.

  • Very new.

  • The great thing is if you're moving to Japan you don't have all these things in your house, like an oven or like rice cookers, it's all here.

  • So you don't have to worry too much and you don't have to spend extra money.

  • So that's one of the great things about share house.

  • And also, so for me personally thinking of shared house, thinking of kitchen space.

  • I thought to myself, how would I make anything in the kitchen full of people and then you realize there's like six ring burners and two others.

  • It is very good.

  • What is honestly and you can see like everything here is good quality.

  • That's one of the great things about this place is like all of this stuff is high quality.

  • You wouldn't expect in the share house but I'm pleasantly surprised honestly.

  • Yeah, all the shared house I've ever said has been really like tiny kitchens.

  • Not much space like two burners for like 50 people want to play those games.

  • Big space in this kitchen, very clean, nice like industrial kitchen filter is exactly what you want when you're setting it up in the kitchen at home.

  • And there's one place I definitely want to check out some big old TV and a giant soap in the living room in the couch.

  • You wanna check that out if you're tall.

  • I feel like you might hit your head.

  • Good thing I'm not too tall.

  • Oh yeah, this is nice.

  • The new the new bleach coming out bleach.

  • This is such a nice tv.

  • How are you?

  • All right?

  • Do you guys want to check out the music room?

  • 100%.

  • Let's go music room.

  • Gonna put this on.

  • Not bad, not bad.

  • Very, you can hear that.

  • It's very simple.

  • It's very cool.

  • So at the moment they only have a drum in here as you can see but they're gonna get a piano soon.

  • Very good thing about music is that if you live here this is free to use you can just use your free anytime you want to come down.

  • Play some music in the room.

  • Very cool.

  • Also it's soundproof.

  • I don't know if he's musically talented.

  • What do you guys think?

  • Nice jordans come out.

  • It's actually really different when we open and close it.

  • Let's go to the next room, leave him in there.

  • Well we have a stockroom which means they're stocking up on all the alcohol.

  • No, I don't know.

  • Oh it's where the tenants keep their food supply.

  • This share house actually fits 54 different people in their own single room.

  • So you can see there's space for 54 people.

  • So 503409.

  • And I guess this is what it looks like.

  • If you've got your supplies, you put your chopsticks, your cutlery, your miso soup.

  • It's really cool seeing what each individual kind of person cooks within users.

  • That's fun.

  • Alright.

  • He's too lazy to get out of his room.

  • I relate to if I was on the fifth floor going up those stairs, I would not be cooking either.

  • But he did say earlier that he's going to start cooking and challenge himself.

  • So let's go find Jordan's.

  • I've been found I'm relaxing under the A.

  • C.

  • Very nice little reading spot.

  • I found very nice to chill up here.

  • You can look out at the traffic passing.

  • It's pretty relaxing actually.

  • All the face of lice, laptop plug spots which makes it very easy to do.

  • A little work.

  • A little studying on these high tables and with the coffee so close, how could I not study right here.

  • It was really fun exploring around this shared house as a man who's not really been to a shared house.

  • I have no idea how much this would be a month.

  • Yeah, so it costs on average 60,000 japanese yen per month.

  • It actually depends which room you're staying in.

  • So depending on the floor, the facilities and everything, it does vary.

  • But for 60,000 it includes the water, the gas, the wifi.

  • That's pretty good.

  • No way.

  • Yeah.

  • And also like the toilet paper, all those kamu things are included.

  • So it's not a bad deal.

  • Three minutes to the station.

  • So $60,600.

  • Actually, no, it's not anymore.

  • Not in this economy may well anyway, it's a good deal, it's pretty decent honestly.

  • But yeah, so I would love to experience living here.

  • It would be fun.

  • Pretty good.

  • Make some friends.

  • I had my eyes on the confirmation.

  • Especially if you're new to Tokyo.

  • I think a shared house, it's an easy way to make lots of friends.

  • Everyone's like hanging out here all the communal areas.

  • I think if you're kind of scared of going out to meet you people coming home, being able to meet people here is a really good way to do it.

  • And there's also some other foreigners, like non japanese living here.

  • So if you're a bit nervous there are non japanese and japanese living here.

  • So it's the best of both worlds, Still melting pot a melting pot of communities.

  • I like that a lot.

  • So would you guys like to live in a share house?

  • Let us know down in the comments below.

  • Um, and so let us know if we should do more of these TC homestyle videos in a minute.
