I live in a flat and my room is bigger than this. Even my bathroom looks bigger that this.
I would better buy a tent.

50000 for a flat is a fool’s dream (no pun intended ^_^).
Right now I am in a guest house and, apart from the fact the toilet is shared my room is bigger than that “apartment”… ROTFL. BTW I pay 75000 and it is a room… while it is true taht for 75K yens you can rent a flat (come here in Nakano Sakaue and you’ll find easily) you have to have a guarantor, shikikin, reikin… a lot of money. Should I foind a job here for sure I’ll go with one of those but ’till that time I’ll keep up with guesthouses

@JapanLover, Thanks for advices! Actually I’m also looking for guesthouse (OAK House), but, if I could, a prefer live alone… Just, I think people could became crazy living with me… I use to back home really late.. Anyway, if I don’t have the choice I will choose Guest House Solution!

Thanks!

hm if Kei is a dwarf.. why not . only 500$ for a palace

what a great article!
love it!

Tokyo station is one of the more expensive place in Tokyo.

My flat is 36m2 and it’s only 130000 = 2.6 * 50000

But 6,2m2 * 2.6 = 16,12m2 != 36m2

I’m guessing this is mostly for business people who work in Tokyo and then go home to family on the weekends somewhere in the suburbs, or elsewhere. This is just a place to sleep and hang up your suits for the week.

But $500 for a place in Tokyo is really cheap. To be honest, I’m not surprised. At least it looks clean.

In the end It depends on your lifestyle.

If you just want a very convenient, inexpensive, clean and private place to sleep, take it. It is good enough for one person (I assume you are not married).

Economy class bathroom and emergency exit seat.

I guess it could be fun immagining to live on a spaceship crew cabin! ^_^
I’d put some port-hole fake windows with stars and may be an earth in orbit shot to revive the whole appartament.
Ah high tech Amaca for bedtime would also come handy! hahahah

Dude…that’s not for anyone to stay in it’s a sex pad!

It’s a $500 studio apartment in the center of Tokyo. $500. It costs more to park your car for a month in Manhattan. I wish all cities had clean, safe housing like that. I’d much rather spend a month there than pay $100 a night for a cheap hotel. Tokyo is your living room.

I am paying over $1,500.00/month in Tokyo for a room of that size.
Clean, safe and friendly people with honors.

In USA, most black dues have free electricity, water, room & boarding and 3 meals/day- which amount to over $65,000.00/years from the tax payers.

You won’t find a lot of Japaneses & Jewish in USA’s prison. 
Usually Pride, Honor & Respect come from good roots.

Come & walk the streets in Japan. They are very safe, even crossing the streets.
