The Coolest Apartment in Central Tokyo! [TC Homes Ep. 5]

[Music] hello hey yeah why aren't you at work it's it's Thursday yeah you look so luxurious right now just enjoying my Saturday morning I thought while I'm here can you give me a tour of your house yeah I guess that counts as what uh yeah nice hammock by the way thank you very much it's crazy I don't think many people in take care have a hammock well you should yeah because it's um it's the greatest thing my own turn on the lights hey I mean you could just turn the switch but oh oh yeah so let's I guess start at the beginning okay nice looking cons thank you very much indoor I have questions about these chairs I'm gonna be honest from the off step I've got all weird stuff I've accumulated over nine years in Japan right I've got numbers on the little kind of like train seat so my first kind of five or six years in Japan was working right by where the Olympic Stadium is now for the last few years has been like a building site because they've knocked down the old Olympic Stadium in there building new one okay but when they knocked down the old one a company went in there and took quite think 750 per seat oh and they made them it's rather it's uh it's it's kind I thought it's why those things that when I do probably eventually go back to the UK it would be a cool thing to bring back I don't know how I'm gonna get it oh yeah where you go watch the Olympics okay I wonder says I change the models but you have a lot of movie posters and I sound like pop culture yes that's very accurate to look around there's a lot of stuff we could say person clearly hasn't matured right but a lot of it's kind of got a meaning this has absolutely no meaning I was kind of like this guy enter the dimension of June yeah so guys there's so many details to your apartment I'm so worried about spending too much time with little things so let's just have into your bedroom study area but it's amazing with your space it is like more compact but you feel like you've utilized it really really well well it's I guess that's kind of I learned a lot how to do that awfully because I did do something so much stuff and then you know when you live in an apartment this more you kind of have to prioritize what you keep her away that I know you sure he was talking about she uses a service where they you put stuff in boxes and they take it away can order back on my wall that's called forgotten typically I do use a box yeah that's the one thinking of all the possibilities yeah in my space if I could just get rid of this stuff but it's like I need that for one season exactly yeah it's good if you can find one close by and it's not too expensive I've noticed they they charge you by the the region of Tokyo so you might if you live in like an expensive area you might get one little bit further round and make it and it's quite significant difference in price here you've got your study area but I just noticed this arm on the back of your computer that is a heck of a heck of a gadget is this a chunk enough we're gonna break it touch it so I like to have making use of kind of all the space I don't have a TV but I do what kind of a lot of Netflix and stuff like that so I have a projector up here which projects onto this area the base that comes with these there's a guy called Jim Takeshi basically it was an artist and kind of a fashion designer in Japan he randomly cooks at a cafe ground according to Mayor fairly often he's got wrangled undercover and when I first came to Japan we went to his this guy's store and they had days it kind of it looks a bit ridiculous but I like him I'm giving him a name so that's okay all right but if anyone wants to comment on a potential name for mr. hamburger okay so if we move over to this section I have your wonderful this way again like I said if you were to look at this it looks like okay you haven't gone up since I'm 8 years old but all of these have some kind of me yeah I think from other thing it's a very big teaming they're very specific not mostly my for example this one in my previous job is a real estate company and I hope this guy get apartment and everything like that and here's for Mexico so when he left ok and last thing can you tell me about this big old picture right here so that is actually a photo from Jenny Crispin this is there's an episode where we're in Osaka and kind of exploring what the nightlife is like I was like I don't remember there's a guy skateboarding cut in the background basically what happened was we were talking to these and kids I was teaching feet and Chris and come outside there's land and stuff and then one of the guys I guess he got my Tina he looks up really shocked look on his face and he recognized his idol who's this guy and the guy was even wearing a t-shirt with his guy's face on it but really his I don't know who he is but he's thing like the he's like an old famous Japanese skateboarder but it's like 60 years old messing around like the skate parks and stuff that's awesome see this is your your bed area is my bed yeah it's a nice size and I like that you're sleeping next to a window you can get a nice amount of light coming here yep yeah that's another thing I like about your apartment there's a lot of Windows on different sides so that there's a lot of light it is fry it and I thought to maximize that I'll buy these kind of I got rid of my curtains I'm like okay so I got these blinds it's great it makes it a lot brighter but it means I wake up at 5 a.m. if it's a sunny day it's how can you show me the kitchen it's about three steps to you Wow here this is the kitchen area my cooking that's the last time I cook this morning so you've got a little iPad I do so it's nice it's gonna sound really like soapy but when I call my mom and my family back home it's not good when I'm cooking it's like the one time where I'm not either working or doing saying okay now play something so pretty much I'd say like 95% of the time I call home really good idea i watch your videos every single time that I I cook and I never really have a great way to put my phone and I used to like balancing on things and then one time I was washing out my third film this week so I really couldn't figure out I was no I do really I like your magnetic strip with you with your knives thank you nice and then you've got kettle a food processor it's a trendy yet I think I mentioned it once before maybe the CCT 5 on the Chris Proulx the journey across Japan trip I gained like nine kilograms so I have for breakfast something like a smoothie help me lose weight and then it goes straight into your laundry and hey we're in the laundry area slash bathroom you see my shower so this is what I mean about trying to make use of space so I like that I try and by trying to keep it as one thing I do have a problem with his trainers sneakers oh the only place I've got to keep them a little bit yeah a little bit they go well I had no idea this is hiding you have made the most of the space but yeah oh my god I didn't even realize that this is this is one pair this isn't yeah I got these in talk to you hands in Japan but rather than yeah putting like two pairs together you can kind of put one on here and it saves a lot of space and then clearly after that I've got my almond milk and when you keep oh you're cleaning supplies in here too yeah okay and then what is this would someone actually take this to school at this point it's like a CCA just broke up Amish I heard Margie's next I forget your Olympic seat and I broke my neck I need to leave you to be fair if it had to be one of them um hmm who's your least favorite Simpson probably Lisa is that bad of me I'm not gonna get a lot of angry people at least hard and all right so just got some questions for you about your apartment in the area and things like that so what kind of area is it and why do you like the area that you're in so I live in an hour or naka-meguro it's probably most famous for table supervisor I was gonna take you down I'm explaining to you who probably knows more about show-off but but now I realize the area it's very central it's very close to Shibuya my first few years in Japan one it was really on the outskirts of Tokyo see I'm sure most people who've moved here know what that's like like to go out drinking and you miss the last train and it's kind of like to wait for you till 5:00 a.m. whereas it's kind of nice we're living a bit more central I'll get a taxi it really cheap exactly okay so next question is what do you like about the apartment itself in particular oh I will tell you the roof terrace yeah yeah roof there's a roof terrace yeah it's cool it's big enough that I can fit in it yes it's I've been here five years now and there's a bombing in originally one downstairs and then I moved up even the other partners really nice got a little bit of a community here it's not too expensive my compared to what you could pay in this area it's kind of still yes well that's another question I have I can you tell us you don't have to tell us the exact price to be doing like it's so electricity separate and then the apartment is in Japanese q monk you Center off that quick so let's round it up yes yeah I guess so all in all about a thousand US dollars electricity's separate yeah that's based on usage wait what about like water and no that's one included in there in good point internet as well isn't it like $50 a month do you know the size of this place in swimming so I don't Tommy alright well thank you for the
