    Great video man, though disappointed you weren’t wearing one of your exotic jackets 😂
  • @AznMagicks
    As weird as the Harajuku bedroom is laid out, it honestly looks fantastic and is cosy enough that I would want to live there.
  • @Nidhoggrr
    Gotta say that I like the Harajuku one easily the most. The building is really unique and nice to look at, there is a fantastic blend of old and brand new, and the openness combined with light and wood gets rid of the claustrophobic feeling I normally get when looking at Japanese places.
  • The Harajuku apartment might be the nicest I’ve seen in Japan. Feels like the best of both Japanese and Western living. They did a fantastic job renovating the place.
  • @Jeal0usJelly
    That Harajuku apartment is damn impressive, especially in comparison to the previous two. I'd love to be able to live in a place like that one day.
  • @mayonaise000
    #3 is the best hands down. It made me want to have a million dollars to spend on an apartment.
  • @Pasperdu
    Thanks for overlaying the floor plan while you’re touring the units! Thoughtful details like that make it so much easier to conceptualize the space. 🙂
  • @Spangletiger
    Without a doubt, the Harajuku apartment! Between the original layout and the refurbishment, they have thoughtfully incorporated everything you need and still retained a feeling of spaciousness and light. With the amusing, original features of the main entrance, the owner already gets to enjoy their home even before they reach their own door and, then there's that entryway! Who wouldn't appreciate an entryway that doesn't feel like you are having to squeeze through a gnat's arse in order to reach the rest of the apartment?
  • The Harajuku apartment is my favorite by far. Is the bed and bath in a weird space? yep but I don't care. They did an amazing job renovating this place, great kitchen, nice space for living room, a place to work upstairs, nice bedroom. Bravo! Thanks for showing us these three different apartments!

    The last one in the older building is the best. There is something about new construction, it looks nice and sleek and minimal. But (in my experience) sleek and minimal is a pain to actually live in. I have learned to ask the question, "Where does the upright vacuum cleaner go?" If there isn't a good answer, you will be looking at it every day.

    THE WORLD HAS GONE CRAZY when this place is ONE MILLION USD!!!
  • @decemberclouds
    The third one is such a vibe, I love it! The people who redid it have done a good job.
  • @Marsofearthh
    I'll raise you one more: Toronto current home prices: 1.4 million $ for a small 1 bed apartment. The current annual salary needed is 180,000$ after tax to qualify, a 20% down payment, 2 years at the same job minimum, and a near perfect credit score. Anyways, Im literally moving to Japan at the end of september from Toronto because it is CHEAPER for me to live there :') R.I.P.
  • @mburtondavis
    #3. It’s very unique. I like the brick exterior and just whole vibe and it looked like there was onsite parking which is a major selling point for me.
  • @nerv007
    I liked all three for different purposes. All three are great for people with no families (either single or couple). #3 is definitely a bachelor pad the way it is designed. It is perfect for guests. It's location in Harajuku means its in a trendier and more expensive neighborhood (though not as expensive as Toranomon Hills!). I do like that #1 has a bit of a view and that large balcony space which is great for setting up an outdoor dining area and use more of the living area as a living area space instead. #3 has a nice "office" area in the bedroom though, and I do like the recessed and built-in desk with the holes for cables.
  • @Rajivrocks-Ltd.
    The Harajuku place is honestly the best layed out and looks the best. The upper floor is a bit much with the big closet. I would've done it differently to optimize space more for other stuff but I'd definitely be happy with it :)
  • @lazyreuvin
    The last apartment is literally a dream find (and the design!) in such a cool area like Harajuku! It'd feel like waking up in a hotel room every day! 😊
  • @repHAWAIIxJPN
    As someone has already mentioned , I really appreciate the floor plan overlays . It very much helps understanding the layout of things .
  • @user-pm9ci2gg6b
    The Harajuku one was damn near perfect on the inside, it's probably my favorite one you've featured so far on the channel!
  • @likethepear
    I am not a rich man but Tokyo prices do not seem that high to me compared to other cities. London is outrageous. New York is insane. Even here in Canada the average home price is now over $1 million and believe me you get a HELL of a lot less home in Vancouver than you would in this video for the same price. Bachelor apartments for over $1mil but with great views . It’s ridiculous and something needs to be done. Housing should be for housing people first and as a commodity to be traded second. I fully expect younger generations to begin revolting soon.
