The best part of living in a Japanese apartment regardless of the size or amenities is the fact that there are no real "bad neighborhoods". No matter how low in price you go. Yeah there's punks who look mean and act generally annoying at night, but it's not dangerous like neighborhoods in America. There's no "wrong side of the tracks" where you'll get beat on like Kiryuu because you stepped on the wrong turf or looked at someone the wrong way. It can happen but it's rare. In America if you want to live cheap - and you live in the city - you're just gonna have to expect violence. We all know why.
Yup, there's areas that almost look like slums but the people there are nice and things are well taken care of, the people arent bad, just poor.
But recently, near me at least, those areas have started to fill up with shit forigners. Lots of halal signs in a the new stores "remittances here" etc.
Groups of angry looking Arab looking guys standing around in groups all day glaring at you.

I recall a news article from a few years ago where local British chavs were having issues with the Africans flooding into their neighborhoods. The chavs would be antagonistic because it was their turf, and where a normal Briton would go "Blimey, don't hurt me, take me wallet and leave me be," the Africans would pull knives and machetes and just kill the guy in retaliation. They were entirely unaccustomed to this outright violence and murder.
But the crazy, naked, homeless people screaming that they'll kill me for being one of the Freemason's that stole his sole while covered in feces is what give life meaning!

There appears to be no fridge, barely any cupboards in the kitchen and no pantry other than that tiny corner cutout shelving.
Realistically, even as a single person, you're not going to be doing anything other than the most basic home cooking here because there's no room or amenities for sundries, cans, pots/pans, dishes, leftovers, refrigerated items, counter space, etc.
This setup seems like it would require an open kitchen shelving unit to be placed against the back kitchen wall, further shrink your tiny galley kitchen (not to mention taking up room for a needed bar fridge).
In most countries you have to provide your own fridge. But japanese kitches are indeed extremely small. Apartments are cheap and nice but tiny in comparison to Western ones.
It's absolutely a tight fit, but it is $500 a month. Given that it's in a Japanese city, there's probably plenty of decent places to eat. Also like the Japanese, you will have to get efficient with space and diligent about cleaning.
I was paying close to $1300 and experienced all the pests. Bed bugs, roaches, rats in the parking lot, even mice on the 4th floor the last couple months I was there. Not to mention the shit skins and everything that comes with that. I think rural life is my ultimate destination now that I work from home.

I was just about to post "I bet the Japanese love it when videos like these going viral"
Japan appears to be next on the list.
Lots of popular online non Japanese people saying “Japan will have to import immigrants or their GDP will go down!!!!!!”
Not that! Line always go up, not down!
A society without niggers and shit skins.
I envy them.

RIP.
What a clusterfuck that's immediately (and expectedly) proving to be.
To the surprise of nobody who isn't a boomer with zero tech literacy.
Unfortunately the ones pushing this are precisely that.
I'm sure of 2 things:
Some people were paid far too much for this disaster of a rollout.
The current methods are intended to fail sooner or later so that even tighter controls replace them which was the plan all along.

Even in the US it depends on the state. Some states consider refrigerators to be fixtures, others personal property.
Yeah, but I don't see an obvious place to actually put it in.
right of window probably

Hey, free protein.

Speaking as a weeb, this thread is spam.

That joke about $700 to live in a walk in closet isn't a joke.
