- Hey Tomodachis,
this is my life reaction moving into my new apartment in Japan. I'll be living here for at least a year as Japanese Language student. What do you think of the apartment? Let me know in the comments.
#japan #japaneseculture #movingtojapan
bro gets the keys from the 501 PO box, then proceeds to try and enter 505 =))
They call me baka 😂
I was about to comment the same thing and I saw yours 😂
The front door is a genkan. And your grill is a fish grill, not a oven. You have to add water to the bottom of the grill before you grill fish. And you can toast a slice of bread if you like.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Wow!!! What a nice apartment for only $400!!! It might be on the smaller side, but that just makes it cute and cozy. It even has a kitchenette and bathroom, what a good deal! I'm traveling to Japan next year, and considering moving there permanently, after watching your video I feel like it's a little bit more "doable" now. Thank you for posting this, and I hope you're feeling happy and at home in your new diggs. 😊😊😊
Thanks for your comment. Yes I wa slickly with my apartment, but also keep in mind I’m in Fukuoka which is cheaper then places like Tokyo,Kyoto etc. you are moving to Japan ? Exciting!! Wish you all the best.
@bernoGarcia Thank you! 😊 Yeah, I'm probably gonna have to get creative with where I relocate, Tokyo, Kyoto ect... are fashionable and exciting, but also super expensive for cost of living from what I've been told. Finding a place that's affordable that will rent to foreigners is going to be quite an adventure, lol! But, nothing worth anything is ever easy. 😊😊😊
@@MikiTheKat...InaHatsometimes I used “best estate Japan” (just Google it) they helped me get an apartment from abroad. Great service and all in English. Will cost you like two rents thou. Good luck
@@MikiTheKat...InaHatsometimes I have a family friend that lives in japan! I go back and forth on if I would ever move to japan. I can tell somethings are a culture shock But they probably think the same about our culture.
Good luck and make sure your do your research and don't be afraid to ask questions.
@@Sasskitten wow great you get to go to Japan so often. What’s your favorite place in Japan ?
素敵なアパートですね! 日本での新しい生活はどうですか?
生活は楽し。でも日本人の友達を作るのがまだ難しい。
@@bernoGarcia I found one great friend when I was living in Fukuoka in 2022 through hellotalk. I still talk to him to this day and I will definetly link up with him again when I move to Japan in October. I did not mean to flex on you with my one friend, but hellotalk is pretty OP!
グリルは魚焼き機とも呼びます。まずはスーパーでシャケを買って焼いてみてください。ものによりますが5分ほどで焼き魚の出来上がりです。サバやホッケも美味しいですよ！生ではなく干物や塩漬け（甘口や甘塩と表示があります）されているものを選んだほうがよいです。あと火をかけたこと忘れやすいのでタイマーがあるなら必ず使ってください。
美味しそう。ありがとうございます。
That little vertical window is the arrow hole for shooting arrows at trespassers coming up to your castle.
I hope I don’t have to go that far 😅😅
man's gotta be carefull even in Japan
@@berkekaan9118 hahah , nah the only thing passing my windows is pigeons sometime 😂😂
Will possibly be moving there eventually and learning from your video.
Great are you moving to Fukuoka too ?
Congratulations on your new digs! The apartment looks great.
Thanks man. Appreciate the comment. Once everything is furnitured,I’ll make an update
For $400 you did really well, great pad. Did you notice the little window with a triangular shelf? Nice.
Yes it has become like my night table 😂😂love it. Keep in mind it’s 400$ without utilities and internet thou. It ads up ti around 500$
@@bernoGarcia still, good deal
Lots of buildings will not have a fourth floor or apartments that end in 4. It will skip from 103 to 105. Four is considered bad luck. The word four sounds the same as the word for death.
Yes have heard about it .crazy
Really? My luck number is 4 lol I guess I will never go to Japan.
Oh mate - if that other tenant in 505 came out while you were trying to enter would have been class haha
Great video bud 🙋🏽♂️
At the same time it would have brought more spice into the video 😂😂 thanks for the comment
I like your vlog! Hope you have a good time in Japan☀️💯I can’t wait to go there one day. Seems like such an interesting country. Greetings from new sub in Norway
Thanks for the support. What city you wanna go to ?
@@bernoGarcia I would love to visit Tokyo, Osaka and maybe a couple of small towns/rural countryside places I’ve seen in Japanese dramas (it looks so pretty there and I'm loving the vibe)🤗 It's probably a good idea for me to learn a bit more Japanese though..Especially outside the big cities. I don't know how I'll get by only speaking English there🤔That’s a concern of mine. Hopefully I’ll be okay in Tokyo and Osaka. I’m looking forward to following your journey in Japan here on YT 🌸🇯🇵
The vlog is super nice 😂 Best of luck Bernardo!
Happy to see a comment from you Bensu. Thank you . 😊
$400 for that apartment is awesome! They even had a bathtub! Awesome 😂
Yes I am also super happy with it. But don’t forget water, electrify, wifi, community fee is all extra . So I end up paying like 500$.
@@bernoGarciastill.super cheap
What part of Japan are you?
@@MysticChick Fukuoka (Kyuushu)
Perhaps it's because of the cheap yen right now.
I wish this was me but i have a couple of years to go!
Awesome, you are moving to Japan too?
WOW! That is a nice apartment!❤ 🫂
Thank you, yes couldn’t be happier
That kitchen is giant for Japan and it looks so good in general! :D
Thanks for the comment. Yeah I’m pretty happy with it
Very nice apartment. 1DK with enough space to enjoy your stay in Japan. Have fun filling it up.
Thank you so much .
Don’t know if anyone has already mentioned this LIFE HACK. But if you don’t want to buy your own washing machine for a short stay you can always use public laundries. Check out the map, maybe you have one nearby :)
Hey thanks for the comment . I actually lived of coin laundry for like 4 weeks😂 just bought a used laundry machine thou, pretty cheap and they even brought it to my place and installed it + 6 months warranty. Happy to give a new video update if my place once it looks better ☺️☺️ also other life hack. Someone told me you can rent a laundry machine in Japan.
It is a fish grill, not really a gas oven in the sense that it gives direct flame. You could use it not only for fish but also for meat, vegetables or bead and you could find recipes in internet using that fish grill and you could buy cooking metal containers to put into that grill, cheap ones from NITORI or DAISO, fancy ones from internet or maybe decent department store’s kitchen floor. I recommend to get one since cleaning would be much easier than putting your food directly into the grill, especially when renting the property. Please be careful though for fire accidents, or foods’ overflowing (cleaning the grill would very hard), never take your eyes completely off from the grill, it is not as stable as gas oven😊 Enjoy Japan!
Woooow, thank you so much for all the detailed recommendations. ☺️🙏🏻
500 $ für alles inklusive Wasser, Strom, Internet, etc. bei der Größe kann man absolut nicht meckern. Die Fensterbänke sind schön groß, da könnte man schöne Pflanzen oder Kräuter zum Kochen hinstellen. Das Toilette und Bad getrennt sind ist in Japan vollkommen normal. Hast du vor dir ein Futon anzuschaffen oder besorgst du dir ein Schlafsofa oder so?
Wenn du jeden Tag einkaufst reicht es auch, wenn du dir so einen ganz kleinen Kühlschrank besorgst. Frisch kochen ist eh am Besten.
Und der kleine "Backofen" ist der Fischgrill. 😁
Ja bin auch froh über den Preis. Fensterbänke hab dich auch schon über Pflanzen nachgedacht gute Idee. Futon habe ich mittlerweile gekauft. Und wegen Grill, ja wurde mir schon von Klassenkameraden gesagt 😂😂😂 ich dachte da passt meine Pizza rein hahaha schade .
@@bernoGarcia Da empfehle ich entweder einen kleinen Mini-Backofen oder eine Mikrowellen-Backofen-Kombi. ^^
Da gibt es sogar welche, mit denen man dämpfen kann. Aber keine Ahnung, was die in Japan kosten. 🤔
Alternativ einen größeren Air Fryer anschaffen. Die sind auch vielseitig nutzbar. In meinen würde sogar so eine kleine Pizza (nicht die normale Größe) passen, auch wenn ich für hausgemachte Pizza eher meinen Mini-Backofen nutze. ^^
@@KardoganLR Ja True, hab auch schon in anderen Vlogs von andren Creator gesehen, dass die sich anscheinend alle so ein Mikrowellen-Backofen Ding kaufen. Scheint beliebt zu sein. Danke für den Tipp
@@bernoGarcia Scheint halt praktisch zu sein für Leute mit sehr wenig Platz, die aber eben Mikrowelle, Backofen und eventuell Dämpfer brauchen.
Mir wurde dein Video vorgeschlagen und daher kenne ich deinen Kanal noch nicht. Aber an der Art und Weise, wie du Englisch sprichst, habe ich sofort erkannt, dass du wohl aus Deutschland kommen musst. 😊
Klar der deutsch Akzent ist schnell rauszuhören 😂😂😂
Lovely, nice and roomy. Was the power on?
I just had to turn on the main switch
That’s big for Japan.
Yes I’m very happy with the size
$400 is an amazing price. I hope your settling in and met a few neighbours. The first month is the worst, once you get over that it’s plain sailing. Good luck
Thanks for the comment. Yeah I feel good. A bit empty my apartment yet but love living here
Good luck in your new home also I am new here ❤🎉
Thanks for the kind words. Welcome to my channel
I hope you got your electricity sorted out before you needed to use the toilet….
Yes, I was just stupid, I just had to press a button to make it work in the apartment
Enjoy your life in Fukuoka City 🎉
Thanks a lot for the comment. I will explore more of the city the next weeks. Look forward to it.
That "oven" is a grill where you can grill fish or other foods. It's like a toaster oven.
Great, thanks for helping me out. I’ll try a toast soon :)
Great content! Pls more
Thank you. Appreciate it. Two more videos planned for this week
Nice place 😊😊😊😊👍🏼
Thanks :)
I don’t know how you got such a big awesome place lol! When I lived there my apartment was 19 meters squared! I love your place!
Fukuoka is a bit easier than other cities . I’ve live in Kyoto for 1 year too. There I also live in a tiny shoebox 😂😂
Your apartment is very nice and not expensive. Congratulations
Thank you so much for the comment. Yes I am pretty happy to. Where does your interest in Japan come from ?
shopping for your new place nice place love your place
Thanks
Great appartment and a good video ❤ Maybe I missed it somewhere, but where in Japan do you live?
Wish you good luck 🍀
Thanks for the comment. I’m in Fukuoka (Kyuusshu)
Had Fukuoka vibes (my hometown).
The oven is actually a fish grill. You can also make toast in it.
Great, I'll probably won't grill any fish in there, but look forward to make awesome toasts.
It is spotless clean❤
Not anymore 😂😂 gotta clean the place 🧽 🧹
いいアパートです！そしてやすいですね。
そうですね。嬉しい
That's a very premium apartment. Quite so far.
Yes love it too
Where do you find websites to rent? Sorry im not good at English
There are a few ones like gaijinpot. But I found my apartment on „best estate Japan“, a bit expensive but very good service.
Eine schöne Wohnung! Ja das Problem mit dem Strom hatten wir auch am Anfang, da hatten die Vormieter den Strom im Sicherungskasten ausgemacht und vergessen, uns darüber zu informieren! 😅
Danke für dein Kolmentar. Ja ist mir dann auch aufgefallen nach dem vlog 😂😂 wohin Japan wohnt ihr ?
1:24 not just Germany it is like that in the US. Hey question in Germany does the hotels have no 13th floor but has a 14th floor?
As far as I know , no numbers are skipped in Germany 🇩🇪
@@bernoGarcia well, they do it here because I guess long time ago 13 was an unlucky number and that just stuck. There are some other differences like in Japan the apartment buildings are more spacious then the ones in the US. That is because In the US it is required by law to have no less then two staircases or elevators and they got to be at both ends of the building but in Japan they are not required by law to have two or more staircases/elevators. I wish I could go to vacation in japan even if it is only one time in my whole life.
Japan once had a huge arcade building that was designed to look like China's famous Kowloon Walled City that according to history looked like it really was a city in a big cube. Japan made replica of it and it looked pretty real but had arcade games and claw machines and other such fun things to do in there. It was located between Tokyo and Yokohama. It was called Amusement game Park Kawasaki Warehouse. If you ever seen the movie Dredd that kind of reminds me of it.
But if I am ever do go to japan I can always see many other fun things. Like the Cup Noodles Museum. and I am a big fan of manga and anime and a big fan of Ninjas and samurai.
Oh see if you can get one of those combination washer dryers they wash then dry your clothes. This way you don't always have to hang your clothes up.
How did you manage to travel on the rail or train with all the luggage? I’ll be in Japan this week. Hope to buy an xtra luggage there😊
It was suuuuuper hard. I spent two weeks traveling in several Japanese cities with all that luggage. 😂😂cool where are you going hope you have a great time.
Welcome to Japan! Hope you got some balcony slippers ^_^ balcony is outside- so not socks space :D
Are you staying, or visiting?
Staying in a student visa for at least a year to study the language. No, no slippers yet 😅
Looks cool! I am not sure it would work for me , my bedroom is the same size as that apartment. I do wish you well and it is good size because space being a minimum in Japan . Will be fun to watch 😎👍
Thanks for the comment 😊
How did you learn the Japanese language? Can you speak it in conversation or just a few sentences? Interesting language but difficult to learn I've read.
Im still learning. Working towards intermediate level right now. Started in uni a few hours a week. And no in Japan taking it more serious. Hopefully become fluent one day. You learning Japanese too ?
Seriously? That many luggages???😂 I've been on the road for nearly 10 yrs, believe it or not, I only hv a 10kg carry on + a small backpack & missing nothing so try it, u r going to enjoy life even more buddy!
I barely have any clothes. It’s mostly equipment. And I’m not on the road I’ll stay here for at least a year.
Hi! U have to switch on the breaker first😊
I realized that after recording too 😂😂😂
In Deutschland bezahlst du 1500 EUR für ein Zimmer. 400 is ziemlich cool!
Ja man findet sicher auch was für 400-500€ in Deutschland nur halt schwerer. Dafür sind halt andere Dinge in Japan schwierig. Und nicht vergessen, Japaner verdienen in Yen , was weniger wert ist als € gerade. Für Japaner ist diese Wohnung also gefühlt teurer als wie für uns.
That's not the elevator.
That's the appartment.
😂
😂
Wait did you rent without visiting? Don't know about fukuoka, in Tokyo when rent cheap place recommend to visit it first.
Yes I rented without visiting. An agency helped me . Everything online just saw pictures of the place. I’m not a big fan of Tokyo for living and also had to come to Fukuoka because my school is here.
@@bernoGarcia Consider yourself lucky. I am in Tokyo myself so not sure how it is in other prefectures. In tokyo when renting cheap there are good options like yours, but there are also a lot of not so good places. You could feel much smaller than on pictures, or noisy or too old or anything else.
So for people who watch this video and come to Japan i would recommend visiting places before renting it.
Anyway good luck mate, hope you will make it👍
@@MrQwer1606 I've heard from many other people in Fukuoka that it's way cheaper here than in Tokyo. So makes sense you get something bigger for the same price. Also the agency who helped me was very professional and trustworthy I would say. But yes of course luck also plays a role.
You got a big apartment
Yes it’s spacious
Where is your apartment? Which city or town?
Fukuoka
I was in Japan 2009 . On vacation.
Great where, and how was it ?
the tiny oven is for FISH!!!
It also works for steak(very thin wagyu) and pork belly.🤤
Coole Wohnung. Für den Preis kann man nicht meckern. Viel Spaß beim Einrichten. 🙂
Total. Komme aus Hamburg. Da würde ich für den Preis und die Größe nicht so nah am Zentrum wohnen.
Where is the refrigerator?
no refrigerator, no laundry machine, no furniture at all. That's why it's a bit cheaper.
Which city is this at?
Fukuoka
That's not bad at all for $400
Plus utilities and internet around $500, but still good
When you get your apartment decorated and with furniture show us please
I will :)
The apartment looks fantastic, I'm so envious! Even that view is really good.
The little 'oven' is a 'fish grill', btw. Fairly common in Japan, from what I gather. I imagine you can heat anything you can fit into it, not just fish :P
Thanks for the comment , yes people keep telling me it’s for fish 😂😂 about the view , I really love it . I realized all other apartment on the same floor don’t have this view . Super happy
I would rent 2 lol amazing, except the oven
You would rent 2!! 😂😂😂 what would you do with so much space ?
I'm so happy for you, but a little jealous. I would trade you in a second. Want to live in Las Vegas, NV and pay over 2k per month? 😭
Woooow US rents are craaazy. I wouldn’t have much left after paying rent in Vegas 😂😂
I have lived in high rise apartments. Pigeons make a HUGE mess. I wish I'd had that net.
Big, lots of windows, nice bathtub, and space for plants.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah happy I got that net
@@bernoGarcia Is your apartment behind the others on the floor? I'm trying to figure out windows on two sides. ...Or is that three sides?
@@Tam.I.am. It's the only one with a view on my floor. All other apartments have other apartments left and right.
@@bernoGarcia So it is kind of behind the others. That's really neat! And yay, view. I had those in the last two apartments I lived in, and it was fun to bring friends to look out the window.
@@Tam.I.am. actually I was surprised about the view. Because the pictures I got from the apartment when I was still in Germany didn't show any view. But yeah I'm super happy about that.Where in Japan did you live?
すごいアパートおめでとう
ありがとうございます😊thanks for the comment
Where are you from? 😊
Born in Ecuador 🇪🇨, raised in Germany 🇩🇪
It shows 501 on your mailbox... why would your apt be a different # from your mailbox? 🤣
Where is this apt for this price, amazing $
Like 15 minutes footwalk from Fukuoka main station 🚉
DUH your mailbox said 501 LoL You are the kind of person on an elevator everybody dislikes because you hold it a long time. Seriously though nice apartment.
Yeah it was a tough day 😂
wie oft hast du das Bidet schon genossen? :D frage für nen Freund
btw wann darf ich die mal probieren kommen?
gez: der Freund
Jeden Tag nutze ich das Ding
Wunderschön und groß für Japan! Hat die Küche auch nen Kühlschrank?
@@noname2122 Danke für dein Kommentar. Leider weder Kühlschrank noch Waschmaschine. Werde ich noch besorgen müssen.
@@noname2122 Leider kein Kühlschrank vorhanden. Aber bin noch nicht so sicher ob ich einen kaufe, esse meist draußen und wenn ich zuhause koche, dann reicht es wahrscheinlich wenn ich Essen für den Tag einfach kaufe.
Sehr schöne Bude. Und für den Preis echt top.
Hoffe du hast ne super Zeit.
Viele Grüße aus Saitama 😁
Danke dir, ja kann man. Ich klagen über die Wohnung. Noch bisschen leer aber. Ich mache ein Update Video sobald alle Möbel drin sind
It was #501 on the mailbox😂
Yeah … I was confused that day 😂😂
I was confused. He said apartment but then he kept calling it “room”
true. English is not my mother tongue 🤷🏻
@@bernoGarcia Ich weiß. Aber das ist mir nur so aufgefallen, das ist alles. Du sprichst perfekt Englisch. ❤️
@@JeanBaptisteDesJardins Perfekt würde ich nicht sagen, aber I try haha. Danke für dein Kommentar
@@bernoGarcia Ich bin Kanadierin/Brasilianerin und meine Traumreise ist Japan. Ich lebe in Kanada. Wie ist dein Leben dort bis jetzt? Ich hoffe, du machst mehr Videos darüber, wie du lebst. Ich habe ein bisschen Deutsch bei einem Schweizer Onkel gelernt. Nachdem er gestorben ist, habe ich nicht mehr geübt und alles vergessen. I speak English and French. If you ever want to practice. I am trying to take up my Japanese studies. Hopefully one day I can spend a few months in Japan like you, as a student.
Also I would love to see videos of your Japanese learning journey from now on, now that you have your apartment. Also why Japanese? When did you start learning etc?
Very nice large apartment for 400$
Yes I’m happy. But you gotta ad utilities and internet so it’s around 500 in the end
$400 for the rent... I'd be interested to hear how much you're expecting to pay for bills on top of that. (Utilities, city taxes etc) 👍
100$ more
I think you can get rid of the screen
What Screen ?
Hätte jetzt echt gedacht, da kommt jemand aus der Tür...
Gott sei Dank nicht haha
Your mail box is 501. So your apartment I would think is 501.
Makes sense, I’m just baka
Starting a new life in Japan by an attempt of breaking in into neighbor's apartment
lol
What a start 😂
fix screen
Where's your refrigerator?
You have to buy a refrigerator AND a washer? NOT COOL! I only pay $400 a month in Tbilisi Georgia, and I have ALL appliances and a brand new washer!
Yes gotta buy all by myself
Bleib lieber da. Mit 400 euro bekommst du in deutschland nur nen Pappkarton 😂
Das stimmt, dafür verdient man im Schnitt hier auch weniger als in Deutschland. Kommt fast aufs selbe hinaus.
Who can complain on 400 dollars a month ?
Turns out that writing is telling you to break through in the event of evacuation. Japan sounds excellent in case of emergency go Kool aid guy
Aaaaah you mean in my balcony right?? no wonder it's just like paper and I hear every step of my neighbor when his walks on his balcony. Thank you :)
@@bernoGarcia Just one thing if possible. If you have to go through that wall go full Kool-Aid man, not sure if 'OH YEAH' will translate with the same effect though
The unnecessary anxiety this man gave me. Also being so rowdy when you're arriving to a JAPANESE building as a foreigner. nope
ごめんね🙇
That young man as ure likes whining.
You come across as ungrateful when a lot of people can’t afford apartments like that and you could do without using the swear words
I’m super greatful to be here. Sorry if the video made you feel bad somehow. Thanks for the comment.
does your room have a built in futon or do you have to buy one. A challenge to get it up to your apartment. Look forward watching more videos. New sub here.🦘🦘👍👍🤗🤗Cheryl
Thanks for the support. Appreciate it. Actually I got a futon couple days ago. The shop owner was kind enough to send it to my address. I’m planing on doing a follow up video once the apartment is furnitured
Cute apartment
Thank you so much
