Takeru Kobayashi apparently returning to Japan

November 4, 2019 at 10:43 am by ojrifkin · More posts about:Japan, Kobayashi (小林尊), New York City

It appears Takeru Kobayashi will be moving to Kyoto, Japan due to high New York City rent. He recently posted a picture of moving boxes on his twitter. Another tweet has the following automatic translation:

By the time you find a Kyoto townhouse you want to live in
And
For the time being, the room That Maggie decided to live in
In a room as small as New York,
Less than one-third of the rent
I feel like I’m being made a fool of by NY.
