45 floors up -- that means a long elevator ride... Do you prefer high-rise penthouses or low-rise suites?
Neither. For me, nothing compares to a well designed Kyoto house.
I hate elevator rides, but nothing beats those views!
It sounds a bit weird when you say grandiose. I think you mean grand
When there is an earthquake (and its aftershocks), you definitely prefer a low-rise suite. Unless, of course, you love "the thrill of the swing".
Low-rise. I just switched from the 18th floor to the 2nd. Much better (and much easier to haul a dog and a toddler down the stairs when the fire alarm goes off because someone burned their dinner).
I love that you also show the neighborhood - it's really cool to see different parts of the city as well as the cool houses/apartments.
The neighborhood makes the property
Clown had to spend most of the time on the neighborhood because the actual apartment was so wildly UNDERWHELMING.

Now now, let’s not call names
@@patrickcrowley4682 I don't believe his name is "clown"
If you're paying $12k a month, you'd want something ALOT better than this shabby ex-office.
very claustrophobic for a penthouse
Yeah. The bedroom and living is quite spacious, but the hallway is just a single person access.
Totally. The ID is horrid for the price you are paying.
it's set up as an office most probably because the rent is used as a business expense for tax purposes.
Good luck finding one - this is Tokyo we're talking about. Location matters.
A little surprised by this one. Expected more contemporary updates and more natural light for the price point. The tour was interesting nonetheless!
You should do a video covering some of your favorite restaurants in Tokyo! I know there's a neighborhoods one but a food-focused video could be cool
Tokyo Portfolio of foods
Such a good idea.
I would love to see some food things in Japan.. Real estate is not doing much good.
8:04 Chris (Abroad in Japan) Mount Fuji's curse strikes again hahaha
Hi Alex, I love your videos and searched for something similar (after binge watching yours... naturally), there is NOTHING like your channel on youtube!! Yet on TV property channels are so popular??! MORE PLEASE, LOTS MORE!!!
My stomping grounds!! Yeah atlas tower, especially the top floors have some crazy, stunning views ❤, and there are just loads of great cafés and places to chill.
4:15 all I could think was that's for washing a small dog, that laundry room is goals
The realty game is on point here! Makes me think about who Im buying real estate from. You really know your stuff! Looking forward to seeing more Alex!
Great apartment and tour once again Alex! The overlayed graphic on the "podium" was a nice touch. From what I've seen so far from your videos you would get my vote for supreme overlord.
He is definetely the shapiro i would vote for.
@@boopdino8053 definitely this Shapiro and really NOT the (arguably) most famous other Shapiro on the internet
It’s always exciting to see you post a video.
Great video as always! always loved watching these videos and looking forward to seeing more from you.
I always love these videos. You are good at presenting these and you are interesting and cool. It's nice to see a variety of places in Japan.
Ngl, I choked on my dinner a bit with the clip of Connor yelling - kudos to the editor!
I love all these apartments... awesome video Alex!
Alex your videos are always awesome! Keep up the great work!
I’m curious if those types of buildings have common areas like lounges, gyms, etc. One thing I’ve gotten used to in my current place is concierge and a package room.
Something about the renovations the previous tenant did to that penthouse, I am loving them! The rich earth tones, the subdued lighting coupled with large windows, the green spaces (which I would fill with real plants). Gorgeous!
It looks depressing and horrendous
I can't remember if I left you an enthusiastic comment on your Karuizawa property video but if not-- IT WAS SENSATIONAL. One of your best efforts yet. I really, really enjoyed not just the footage but the incredible amount of information you crammed into it, all delivered in your highly digestible style. Thank you, love your channel! 😊👍
This is one of the best apartments I’ve seen on your channel. Very nice.
Time to add Food to the Portfolio!(Shoku Portfolio anyone?) That aside, I felt that the property had a very...commercial feel to it? Aside from the exquisite kitchen and living room, the rest of the rooms feels pretty normal which makes the contrast painfully obvious. The view is killer though!
I love how you start with the bathrooms and bedrooms. Usually these videos show the bedrooms last.
Great video! Wouldn't mind it if you would do even more content around the neighborhood
The view is crazy, even when it's all cloudy, the vast distance you can see over Tokyo is still magnificent.
The best part was the mushroom though, I hope it's part of the apartment haha
I am not Japanese, but in my fathers culture, we remove shoes before entering a home, not just for cleanliness, but a show of respect, love that you do this to the properties you show. Some great apartments you have been showing us here :)
Everyone removes their shoes entering a home, except Amercans
@@thesunris Not always unfortunately, seen plenty that dont :(
Canadian. Shoes come off. We have a front hall or even just a little square space used for removing shoes. The idea this is weird is itself weird to me. Half the year they’re snowy, half the rest of the year they’re muddy. Who wants that inside?
The only country that I know of where people don't remove their shoes is the US...
Not everyone can wear those flimsy flat slippers (house slippers?) They don't have heel cushioning and they don't have arch support. If that was my place I would keep some cleaning wipes by the door so guests can wipe off the bottoms of their shoes.
Nice shirt
Always love your videos, they make me Daydream about moving abroad
Love the Onibus coffee recommendation, although I never knew how to pronounce it either!
What a fantastic and unique apartment! Thank you for also including information about the surrounding area, it always gives these tours that personal touch.
When the toilet lid lifted up on its own as you open the door 🤯🤯🤯🤯
If we make bath-tubbing together a new channel staple, then I think we're going to have to discuss a raise.
How much for bathwater?
@@TokyoPortfolio Will send you a quote.
Just don't turn it into a Belle Delphine bath water situation!
wow that's a nice neighbourhood, dont think ive heard of it before
Cameraman in the bathtub should be a new unit of measurement for bathtub's.
"How many cameraman's fit in your bathtub sir?"
Not sure I'm excited about this.
Sincerely,
The cameraman
First thing I thought about was - heating/cooling costs
love these videos, keep it up
I understand that as a Japanese individual it's probably nice to have a view at Mt. Fuji but let me tell you this.
I bought a 5 room, 1 living room, 1 guest toilet, 1 normal toilet with bath and shower, 1 garage apartment with 3 grocery stores in a walking distance for 130.100$ in Germany with the view at Polish/Czech mountains, quiet neighborhood and free electricity if we ignore the 2000$ yearly fee for the upkeeping of the solar panels and the central battery system which supplies the whole house and if needed, I can quickly book a very cheap electricity from the city with a click of the button in the smart home app (which costs me in winter/low electricity production months around 60-90$ per month depending on the use).
It's not as premium as the penthouse in the video but you don't have to worry about loosing your job and not being able to pay the monthly rent.
I also own a 4 room, 1 bathroom and 1 parking spot apartment in Frankfurt Main which was actually my first property that I ever purchased and basically I took a credit for that house, paid in total 94.400.80$ (4.300,80$ for the credit / rest for the apartment) and I paid it off after 5 months and now I'm renting it to a group of students which already brought me over 40.000$ in profit.
In other words, if you are not as spoiled as 90% of the rich people are, it would be better to invest into apartments or houses, eventually rent them or keep them and then after 8-10 years just sell them with profit.
I don't need to tell you that this might be a better idea than spending your money on crypto, crypto mining, NFT or buying stocks from some developing companies.
? sir this is a wendys
I really liked this one, especially the kitchen, if I had the money I would definitely consider renting it.
Dude is funny! That little humor in the middle was so quick I almost missed it!
This is a very awesome property , by the way; I likey!
Love the living room with the connected kitchen counter into a bar
I really do like this apartment. Love the bathroom, love that tub 😊😊 I am ready to move in lol
amazing apartment in tokyo! awesome video
I love these videos so much oh my god
I know I'll probably never make enough to afford any of these places. It's still giving me ideas for areas I would like to move to once I do finally get around to moving to Japan.
weeb
What an amazing view! Every time I see these views on your channel I always wonder what they’d look like at night….
I always enjoy these videos. Truly. I'd like to see some variation in what you present though. My favorite videos so far have been the more unique places. All the high-end, luxury abodes are nice to fantasize about living in but rich people are all the same and after a while, these videos kinda feel the same because of their rich dullness. Either way, I appreciate your channel and content. Just a personal preference of mine.
Nice video! "As you can see" = 1 drink, forget getting drunk, try to just make it out alive :)
I could never afford any of the homes in these videos, but the fact that I know that Banh mi place exists now means there's something I can actually buy being shown.
Thank You for this video.
Thank you for touring us around the expensive residences of Tokyo! I know I can't afford them but I can dream. ❤
Mega apartment that, what a view
Love the Connor cameo
2:43 didn't expect that cameo
First luxurious apartment I could actually live in, that doesn't hurt the eyes. The only problem is the price - it should be 1/3 or the current listing. But hey, we are in Tokyo, it's what it is...
Really awesome 😎
Great sense of humor
I love the little shade thrown at Conner, or CDawgVA
Love your videos, wish I can move to Tokyo and If I ever do you will be my real estate agent
lovely area to stay
Pretty amazing view
Comment engagement like click comment. I do enjoy the parts where you do a little bit of the neighborhood beforehand.
9:15
I worked with my dad installing countertops for years and when we had to replace a top (unhooking the old sink/etc) the absolute WORST ones to work on were the ones with a garbage disposal. They always smell horrible because most people don't properly care for them and food just sits in them and rots. Hate then things.
i love this house
Given the location, and the view the price doesn't actually seem that exuberant. Thank you for showing the neighbourhood.
Can easily afford some of these apartments. Planning to move to Japan soon, got lot of insightful information from your videos.
Damn take me with you 😅😅😂😂
Faaaancy!
I love that Penthouse in Japan only problem is I don't know how much in UK money as I'm from UK
I'm ready.
You know, I have almost zero chance of ever living in Tokyo or even visiting Japan with my current life projection.
But I just watch these vids to help bump the view count.
If i win jackpot lottery,definitely i would buy it.
7:55 is that the Meguro river to the right of the 4 lane road? i walked that river in spring back in 2019. loved every minute of it
That's the one!
can you do more videos on what normal people can afford
Oof that's a steep price. It's a nice apartment. The bathing room is neat, I love the sauna feature. Also nice that the toilets have their own rooms so you aren't barging in if someone wants to relax in the bath. I guess for the location it's worth it, but living room and kitchen didn't really vibe well to me.
With the appartments most of the time being in the unaffordable range all the "it is unusual in japan" features seem kind of commonplace :)
The intro music sounded so familiar, and suddenly I realized, it is the same music Snake Discovery uses for its timelapses! Funny to see the same music on such different channels.
You Tubers have a limited selection of rights free music to choose from, which is why so many channels use the same music
@@ludovica8221 not entirely true. Yes the standard library youtube provides is small but there are plenty of other places where you can get music. This one is not from the standard library. So in that wide range of music it's funny to suddenly recognize the same one on such different channels.
I was really curious about I'm Donuts?, the line is unbelievably long when I was there.
I'm curious on how easy (or difficult) it is to find housing or rent in Japan for locals and those who decide to move and settle in Japan.
Having the visa to stay there long-term is going to be a pretty decently high hurdle. You won't be able to even rent if you can't show you can stay in the country for an extended amount of time.
It's easier if you have plenty of money. They are allowed to discriminate against foreigners (there are reasons beyond simple racism - often citing language and worry that tenants will not have their visa renewed), and your ability to get a place is reduced simply because of that.
I discovered your chanel thanks to the youtuber mitsu :)
Hey Alex do you happen to know why there is never a hot water tap for the washing machine in Japan? Have you ever seen a place that has one?
yooooo the super i buy my groceries at is in nakameguro:)
If it takes a while to go up the elevator to the 45th floor, imagine taking the stairs XD
i slept through the part that shows the master bedroom's bathroom
drinking game idea: 2 shots for everytime he says 'you wont find this in japan' and 1 shot for everytime he says 'this is really rare to find in japan'
Nakameguro also has the finest American BBQ in Tokyo with Hato's Bar, and is also very beautiful during hanami due to the trees lining the river.
How much are the banh mis?
Totally agree about Hato's Bar. The Banh mis are ¥600-¥750 depending on what you get
This seems like such a lovely area. I wonder what prices are for other non penthouse apartments in that building?
I viewed a 90-ish sqm unit on the 40th floor that was listed for sale for 230mm JPY.
I believe the units below a certain floor are public UR housing units, so the rent on those should be very affordable, if they ever become available.
That’s where my daughter was born haha !
Wow dude I would totally buy this house..... if I was rich as Bezos
teehee... Happy toilet. I am borrowing that! Aloha
9:09 I lived in the cheapest places in Japan, which made me consider this as a standard, and wonded why we don't have it in Germany.
this is the only channel I think about if I won the lottery. To reach out asap.
Architect: "How many bathrooms you want?"
Owner: "YES!"
and yet none are en suite
finally a new tour and I'm first.
I have big hopes for pointing out big and awesome doors
$12,000/month for this place seems insane to me idk.. I know the location plays a role and that Japanese homes are much different to American homes but I feel like even in an expensive place like LA or New York you can have way more for that amount. Seems more of an office/work space than a home to me. The toilets are sick though I will give them that 😂
Bizarro que mesmo em ap de luxo os comodos e corredores sao estreitos
🎉🎉🎉
You gotta be making atleast 300K to afford this apartment 😅
Do these places also have parking?
Hmmmm I am sure you could make it cosy, but on top of the insane amount of money per month. You would need to pump out a lot of serious money to make it feel like "home"
How strong does an earthquake/typhoon feel at that height? I was once in Tokyo at the robot hotel floor 14 during a strong typhoon and the room was shaking like a plane under heavy turbulences. Horrific experience.
It just sways a bit. Not too crazy
I checked from google maps that from tokyo center to mt fuji is exactly 100km. how is this possible to see :O
Mt. Fuji is almost 3,800m high. If you're high enough up in Tokyo facing West and there's no buildings blocking you, then on a clear day you can see it.
