This super tiny Tokyo apartment may just be one of the smallest places we have seen so far, yet at 8 m2 (82 ft2) it still provides a perfect space to allow Emma (originally from Australia) to live a big life in Japan.

    Didn't realize I have been living in a mansion all this time.

    "Can you show me around?" - what do you mean? The moment you open the door she already showed you around.
  • I love her attitude and positivity. As I was watching this I literally felt claustrophobic, it’s like living in a hallway.

    I visited Japan in 2018 and I fell in love. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, polite, and respectful. It was super clean and safe. That's so great she gets to live in Japan. Love her positive attitude.

    its nice that she honours the landlord’s instruction/culture of taking shoes off before entering the apartment. Back in London, us a group of Malaysian students were renting a flat. One day we had the porter over to look at some flat issues and my housemate kindly asked him to take off his shoes, to which he replied “I’m not going to follow another culture” and so he walked all over the flat with his shoes on. ☹️
  • Not the first time I go back here, this is one of my favorite videos on Youtube. Just love both's positive attitude and humour. As someone looking forward to renting a small space to live this is inspiring

    Plot twist. She later found out she has been living in the closet and she actually has a large apartment behind a hidden wall
  • @Bricktown982
    I was prepared for her to say the sink was the toilet
  • @Vejur9000
    Both of them have a wonderfully positive energy. Love this episode.

    "what animal sleeps out in the open?" Such a good point. My two Chihuahuas have a large kennel and they typically curl up in the corner where they squished up their puppy blankets and toys.

    The most positive woman i have ever seen.
  • @ajisenramen888
    Her spirit is what makes where she lives the most enjoyable space.
  • @rashikumar2776
    She can live anywhere happily. One amazing personality! There is something about living by yourself, not sharing the bathroom or kitchen or sanity with anyone else. She is living it!
  • Emma has turned this tiny space into ‘her space’ and it’s beautiful and homely ❤
  • @JasonGafar
    The guy strikes me as one of those dudes that are always in a good mood. You meet this guy for work at 8am on Monday and he's in a good mood. Call him at 2am on Thursdsy morning, and he's chill.

    Just imagine living there during quarantine tho.
  • @szharychev
    Such videos always make me feel bad. Like how bad I am in organising my apartment as well as been too demanding. But the fact that you can be happy on 8m2 inspires me a lot.

    I have 30m² and love it - fast to clean, low energy/heating cost, low taxes etc. People say I live in a prison cell, but I love it. Everything fits in, even a toploader washing machine, I have a neat balcony. I think if you live one full year in your home and you came home and seek shelter from the hot sun or take a warm shower after a cold winter day, every home is getting 80% more cozy.
