A viral video on TikTok has people contemplating quitting their job and moving over to Japan.

Finding a good home basically anywhere is pretty tough.

If by some miracle you manage to find somewhere, have that place be affordable or cheap even? Not a chance.

But one video that has been doing the rounds on TikTok has people considering ditching their current lives to jet off over to Japan.

The clip, posted by Walksoflife11, has been viewed more than 920,000 times and gives a tour of an apartment in Tokyo which is only $300 a month.

Yes, really.

While that might sound too good to be true, some people had to pick their jaws up off the floor once they saw how much space you actually get for that price.

In the video the TikToker explained that it is a 250ft apartment with multiple spacious cupboards for storage as soon as you enter.

There is a bathroom with a sink and toilet, although the bath itself is quite small and it appears that it must be filled with the water from an extended sink tap.

It comes with a kitchen, a single gas stove and a two-tier cabinet.

There is also a living space with windows, a cabinet and a small staircase to the bedroom area.

The TikToker closed by saying the closest train station was only a ten minute walk away.

The bathroom is pretty snug.

While it may not have all the bells and whistles, many social media users remarked that it had everything you needed to get by.

They even noted just how expensive a similar apartment would be in the US

“This would still cost over $1800 in nyc. I’d say this was a great deal for Tokyo,” one user commented.

“That ain't bad for 300. In NYC that's probably 4 grand with a community bathroom,” another added.

“We need about 10,000 buildings like that in the Bay Area,” joked another user.

“This is 30sq ft bigger than my apt in San Diego and mine costs $2,200. I wish I had a loft bed area too,” a fourth wrote.

“THIS IS PERFECT FOR MEEEE I like smaller spaces because they're easier to manage and help me stay less cluttered," said another.

Some people were less convinced however and users who lived in Tokyo said while it is a nice apartment, very few of them come furnished and a tenant would be expected to bring things like a bed and a fridge.

But hey, for $300 a month I’m sure I can make it work.
