Day in the Life of a Japanese Hotel Worker

This is a day in the life of a Japanese

hotel worker

this is johay 30 years old living in

tokyo and he's just waking up for work

he starts his day by checking his

temperature as these days it's become a

company requirement he lives in this one

room apartment

and by Tokyo standards it's fairly

spacious

[Music]

yo hey how long does it take you before

you leave the house

i guess that's a single life

interestingly Tokyo has a highest number

of single households in Japan

at 49 whereas the average in Japan is 35

percent

damn that's a lot of masks i guess these

days you can never have enough

Yohe is originally from Chiba and first

moved to Tokyo for university

after graduating he started working for

his current company first in kobe for

two years

then transferring back to tokyo

yohi lives only five minutes away from

the train station and then another 15

minute train ride to work without a

transfer

it's not the shortest commute time but

far better than most in tokyo plus he

doesn't have to negotiate through a

Tokyo rush hour transfer

all right we're back with another day in

our life i'm really excited to see how

this day unfolds

johan should be on this train right now

let's see how he slept the night before
