Useful things to buy for your Tokyo apartment

Items that make life easier in a small Tokyo apartment.

Mini dryer for clothes

In general, most people dry their clothes using a drying rack on their balcony. But having a small dryer can be very helpful. Especially for:

  • Rainy season (June and July) when outdoor drying is difficult.
  • Winter months when drying outside takes a long time.
  • Towels and thicker items that take a long time to dry.
  • Solid size for a small apartment: 3.0 kg to 4.0 kg
