    wonderful fun! When my family was stationed on Guam in the mid 1960s, we traveled to Japan. In Osaka we stayed in a traditional Japanese hotel with "hotsie baths". I am old now and still have vivid memories of the unique beauty of Japan. Most of my family members were blonde with blue eyes and had a lot of attention at train stations. Women touched our hair and admired our eyes like we were from another planet. Even as children, we were taller than the little grannies. They were dressed in traditional kimono with wooden geta shoes. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

    Most clothes you buy in Japan aren't pre-washed/shrunk so if you put it in a dryer, it will shrink - a lot. Most homes don't have the space for a dryer, although they do sell washer-dryer washing machines in Japan. They're a bit expensive and kind of large for the average house. We used to have one, but the dryer function wasn't all that great, and it took forever to dry anything. It was faster to hang dry stuff outside.

      @@Gee-xb7rt then why say something so inane that “dryers are unique to America”? You are contradicting yourself. I lived in Japan for many years as well. It is true a lot of European countries recognize how wasteful dryers are. But a lot of northern countries also use them extensively in winter. I have also travelled to Scandinavia. They are used there in winter.

    Hey Cash, when I moved to Australia (from the USA) in 2005, I was appalled to find that most homes had neither AC nor clothes dryers. Especially where I live in Brisbane it's like Japan, hot and humid for about 10 months of the year. Thankfully I was able to find a home with both of those luxuries. Funnily enough, most of my clothes can't be tossed in the dryer so I have to hang them up but with the heat most things dry faster outside than in the dryer.

    I love traditional Japanese homes, but they're costly to renovate *if* they pass a building inspection and you'll usually share walls with neighbours, making for some interesting sounds. Tokyo Portfolio highlighted one recently and I believe the owner spent over $250,000 just on renovation, but it might have been higher. I think it's totally worth it. I'd have tatami mats in all bedrooms (don't they smell nice?) I had a Japanese friend in Toronto who owned a very unassuming wartime home, but inside was a Japanese home, with the exception of the bathroom. This was in 1980 and that's when I became obsessed with Japan and China; I even had a job offer in Hong Kong, but I was having trouble with Cantonese 😂 then my friend, whose family offered me the job, said I'd need to learn Mandarin. That did it, I gave up, felt too overwhelmed and to this day I know I made a mistake not accepting the job. In the early 1990's I started studying Japanese, thinking that when my Son left home I'd be free to travel on my own. Instead I became disabled from my nursing work; the lifts and transfers did my back in and I was diagnosed with Tarlov Cyst Disease. Life's funny, but I'm still going to Japan in 2024! Nothing will stop me, unless I'm ⚰️ 😂

    Hi Cash, since it’s pretty sunny and hot there Japanese don’t need a dryer and prefer using the sun for a fresher, natural disinfectant. They also believe in conserving electricity. It’s a cultural thing as well. Love your videos, sweetie. Bless you and your beautiful family💕😘💕😘

    ONG! That place is beautiful. Love that everything in there looks like a work of art. I would live there in a heart beat. Japan is so clean. They take great pride in keeping it beautiful

    Very cool video ❤ My brother has a 4 bedroom condo outside of Tokyo and the rooms are small. This place is alittle larger with the upstairs area.
    Its fun to visit different units to see what works for you! ❤

    In the UK the "mess" as you call it of wood/fibre/mud is called wattle and daub.
