My Japanese Apartment ♡ (Ehime JET) | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
Hello again! For new viewers, I am an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher of English) on the JET Program. I was assigned to live in subsidized teachers' housing which was arranged for me when I got this job. The rent is 18,000 yen (about $145) per month. Basically all of the furniture was already here (supplied by my BoE & left by predecessors), but I've added my touch to the place~ I live in the inaka (countryside) of Japan ♡ This was a requested video & I really wanted to make it so I could preserve the memory of this place, since I will be moving to Tokyo in 4 months.. I'm so glad I can hear some of my students playing in the background ; u ; *Review of some of the Japanese words I used in the video: Genkan - entrance area where you remove your shoes Aircon - individual, wall-mounted air conditioning/heating unit Futon - traditional Japanese-style bed that is essentially a big flat pillow that you lay on the floor to sleep on Kotatsu - heated table with blanket Tatami - traditional Japanese flooring made of woven straw *In case you're wondering why there is a really low mirror in the shower - Japanese people usually shower by sitting on a small stool in front of the mirror and then using the shower head to wash their body (you can take the it off of the holder on the wall). *Japan doesn't have central heating, air conditioning or even insulation in many of its buildings! That's why kotatsu, hot baths & aircons are popular here. *In the video, I said I didn't really need the aircon in the living room because I have a kotatsu to keep me warm. That's because, since winter is just now ending, I forgot all about how useful it is in summer when used for cool air - i definitely need it !! ♡ ♡ ♡ Other links: ♡ instagram: @starlocket ♡ tumblr.com/babykitsune ♡ twitter.com/_togekiss
