My husband and I moved to Tokyo last year for his job. We fell in love with this place right away. It's a bit outside of Tokyo proper, so rent was only (hahahaha, only...) 140,000yen per month / $1,400. Apartments in Tokyo aren't as "high tech" as you might believe, though. Our place doesn't have central heating - which is how Japanese houses/apartments are. There were only air conditioning/heating units in two of the four rooms, and there weren't wall outlets in the other two rooms (so we couldn't just buy and attach our own). But, you know, it's home. Or it was home. We no longer live in Tokyo now. We're still in Japan, though. I'm uploading this video sitting in my new living room, surrounded by rice fields and retired folks. We will still come into Tokyo several times a year (for the big events), but city life just didn't suit us. We're country folk.
