  • 00:00

    Every morning, generally without fail, I get woken up by a hawk.

  • 00:05

    At least I think it's a hawk. I don't know a lot about birds,

  • 00:08

    and I don't really care for birds much but... This hawk means I no longer need to use my alarm clock,

  • 00:15

    so I'm saving electricity. So in essence the hawk has actually lowered my cost of living.

  • 00:21

    And it's innovations like that in Japan that you just look at and go, "Why don't we do that in England?"

  • 00:27

    Umm, and the honest, the honest answer, "I don't know. I don't know why we don't do it in England."

  • 00:47

    So I've been living in Japan just over two weeks now,

  • 00:51

    and I'm settling in well.

  • 00:56

    I live out 300 miles north-east of Tokyo

  • 01:00

    in a province called Yamagata.

  • 01:05

    It's quite a cold region, except it's not.

  • 01:08

    Because it's actually like 36 degrees celsius with 80% humidity making it at least hotter than the sun.

  • 01:16

    The town I live in is surrounded by sea on one side, and on the other side we've got a tons of mountains,

  • 01:23

    which look beautiful, amazing. One in particular dominates the skyline,

  • 01:28

    it's called mount chokai and it has been called Mount Fuji of the north, because it has a

  • 01:34

    similar sort of shape, in that it's symmetrical like Mount Fuji.

  • 01:39

    Except it's not symmetrical at all, whatsoever, so I don't know where that came from.

  • 01:45

    I'm still learning Japanese, so I can't actually read a lot, which makes the smallest things pretty difficult.

  • 01:53

    Like microwaving a pizza. It can take 40 minutes just to work out how to use the microwave.

  • 02:03

    No! No!

  • 02:16

    I've seen two fireworks displays whilst being here

  • 02:19

    and they are ridiculously big. They look like scenes out of Apocalypse Now.

  • 02:26

    With the sound of The Good The Bad And The Ugly, and together...

  • 02:37

    It's a pretty big experience, but pretty cool.

  • 02:40

    And they go on for about 2 hours, rather than 5 minutes.

  • 02:48

    But yeah, it's the small things that make Japan interesting.

  • 02:52

    Like this apartment or flat or bedsit or whatever you wanna call it.

  • 02:56

    So lets go have a look, shall we?

  • 03:01

    Okay, so this is my place.

  • 03:06

    First thing you do when you come in, take of your Jesus sandals.

  • 03:14

    This area is public space, believe it or not, even though it's in your apartment.

  • 03:21

    People such as postmen can still come in and actually stand here if the door's unlocked,

  • 03:25

    so always lock your door, like that, and nobody gets hurt.

  • 03:31

    Okay, so this is my sink area and kitchen area as you can see,

  • 03:37

    there's absolutely no room for cooking or preparing anything,

  • 03:41

    which means I have to go out and eat every night.

  • 03:45

    It's just the way it is, because I can't cook.

  • 03:48

    Microwave, some other stuff, rice cooker!

  • 03:51

    Haven't used it yet, don't know how.

  • 03:54

    Okay, this is the shower room,

  • 03:59

    I don't know if that is a bathtub or just something you stand in.

  • 04:03

    If it's a bath then I don't know how I would fit in it. I

  • 04:07

    I don't really know what this is either, but you can do this...

  • 04:12

    and then you can do that as well, so that's pretty good, there's the shower.

  • 04:18

    Okay, so, here is the toilet. I love this, this is such a clever toilet though.

  • 04:24

    Not in the sense that it's electronic though, like a lot of Japanese toilets but...

  • 04:29

    this thing here.

  • 04:31

    When you flush the toilet, it refills this bit up from a sink that you can wash your hands in.

  • 04:36

    So you go to the toilet, flush that, and then look! Oh, you can wash your hands!

  • 04:42

    You got about 30 seconds to wash your hands. But how clever's that?

  • 04:47

    So that's really recycling water, and it just gets me excited every time.

  • 04:51

    Such a simple little thing, but so clever, and if that doesn't excite you, nothing will.

  • 04:57

    So yeah, pretty good, first room, quite spacious in terms of just being able to do every day stuff.

  • 05:04

    But lets go and check out the room that we've all been waiting for...

  • 05:08

    Ta da!

  • 05:09

    Oh, I better tidy it up.

  • 05:10

    Da nuh, here it is.

  • 05:12

    My main room. As you can see it's a reasonable size.

  • 05:18

    Especially for one person. It's got a really cool sofa, I've never sat on it once

  • 05:23

    because I love this chair too much. It reclines, so I often sit there and watch amazing Japanese television!

  • 05:41

    Okay, so this is a traditional Japanese kind of eating table.

  • 05:46

    I don't, can't remember the name of it. But underneath it's got a heater here

  • 05:52

    so in the winter when you sit here with your legs underneath the table you can keep warm

  • 05:56

    because typically Japanese accommodation and houses aren't that well insulated against the cold

  • 06:03

    and it gets pretty cold here.

  • 06:04

    Over here, got quite a lot of space for putting rubbish,

  • 06:12

    probably shouldn't have done that, 'cause now I can't get my bed back in.

  • 06:15

    Here's my wardrobe, pretty colourful, good enough.

  • 06:22

    This is a bit odd, I've got a mirror here,

  • 06:25

    fair enough, but there seems to be some sort of outline, a female outline,

  • 06:31

    that's been stuck on with tissue paper. And I don't know why.

  • 06:36

    It's even more worrying knowing that my predecessor was in fact a guy as well.

  • 06:42

    So, I don't know what he was doing, at all.

  • 06:47

    Okay, so these are Japanese sliding doors also known as 'shouji.'

  • 06:54

    Because they slide they don't take up that much room, so they're quite clever

  • 06:58

    and they let in light, and it makes the room really nice,

  • 07:01

    so you can keep them shut and keep the room cool.

  • 07:03

    This is my, this is my balcony, it looks just terrible,

  • 07:10

    but, it is nice to come and sit out here and relax.

  • 07:17

    Me and my neighbours drink a lot of water.

  • 07:20

    Water, of course, comes in cans in Japan,

  • 07:24

    so, yeah. But no, we sit here, and it's lovely.

  • 07:27

    And here's my pretty, not great, view.

  • 07:31

    But, it does the job, you can sit out here and drink water.

  • 07:35

    And that's my air conditioning unit as well. Great.

  • 07:39

    This is the main room, very nice.

  • 07:41

    And it's got some sort of rug which is always good. You're probably wondering where the bed is,

  • 07:47

    although you're not, 'cause I've ruined the surprise,

  • 07:52

    but this room also doubles as my bedroom so...

  • 07:55

    It's a futon, I roll it out every night

  • 07:58

    and put it away every morning. It's a bit of effort but you know, it's not a problem.

  • 08:02

    And it's very comfortable, lovely to sleep on, it's the biggest bed I've ever had.

  • 08:07

    But this is like a double bed almost, and it's very comfortable and pretty good, so lets have a look.

  • 08:15

    Da nuh!

  • 08:17

    So this is it.

  • 08:20

    Um, yeah, pretty comfortable. Love it. Now I've gotta put the damn thing...

  • 08:31

    now I've gotta put the damn thing away.

  • 08:34

    Okay, so, that's my apartment. Pretty good value for money.

  • 08:38

    Less than a hundred pounds a month. So for the size, I think it's great.

  • 08:42

    And it's perfect for living alone.

  • 08:48

    Yeah, so, hopefully I'll put up some more videos of Japan and the area itself.

  • 08:53

    It's a beautiful area and there's loads to see and talk about and stuff.

  • 08:57

    And if you have any questions ask away, but sensible questions, not stupid questions.

  • 09:05

    So yeah, great! See ya later! Thanks.

  • 09:10

    Why'd I do that? Why'd I fall back? Should've just ended it.
