Same Shinjuku Building. $1500 Price Gap. (A Truthful Comparison)

Same exact building in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Same gym, same package lockers, and the same location. But one costs $1,500 a month, and the other costs $3,000. Is doubling your rent actually worth it in Japan, or are you just paying for a view you can't even step out to look at? In this video, we do a completely comparison between a standard Metroresidence studio and a premium Blueground 1-bedroom apartment in the same high-rise. From finicky appliances and tech issues to a sudden drop in water temperature, here is what a $1,500 monthly price gap actually looks like in daily Shinjuku life.
