    We made it a whole year!! Planning the whole thing out has been like the primary focus of the last few years of my life so I could probably talk for days about our house but I didn't want to make the video too long. After the house tour maybe we should do a live stream for questions and all the tiny boring facts most people might not care about?? haha

    A hour tour is still coming–it just turns out it takes a long time to set up a brand new house. We want to get most of it and up and going so we aren't just showing a bunch of empty rooms with boxes and whatnot. And thank you all so much! We wouldn't be here without you all watching and supporting us.

  2. How does the typical Japanese 30 year depreciation on a house, treat your modern construction?

    In the US, the house would be expected to APPRECIATE in value instead. In Japan, it’s an incentive to rebuild new after 30 years.

    It’s a very different mindset.

  3. I've been watching your videos for about 4 years I think. I'm so happy for you guys!!. Your house totally matches both of you guys. Both of you have done beautifully. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

  4. Im glad you guys are enjoying your home! From what i have seen it's very pretty and I would love to see a house tour and how it looks outside and yard all together 🙂

  5. ahhh the way yall describe how peaceful and quiet it is with nice neighbors giving veggies sounds like paradiseeee

  6. You should keep the little box with the guy and his cheek, and show it to all your friends and ask them what the first thing is they notice about the box. I wonder how many people will zero in on the butt. Lmao

  7. I love your house. It gives modern vibe while also have this peaceful countryside vibe

  8. All the spiders I find in my house, I put in my plants. They eat all the gnats that like to invade the soil so I cant complain! 😀

  9. In Swedish peanuts are called "jordnötter" which translates to "earth-nuts" which makes a lot of sense if you've seen them grown! 😄

  10. recently, a discussion topic in a language class i held here in japan was whether the countryside or the city was better. the students also mentioned this sharing of vegetables, saying people who live in the countryside will never be hungry. i think this is a really wonderful culture.

  11. Rachel is like Meghan Markle – psychologically suppresses her husband. She speaks louder than her husband, she speaks more and more actively than her husband. June needs psychological rehabilitation after such a psychological abuse by Rachel.

  12. June speaks little and very quietly. Rachel talks a lot, loudly and very energetically. June looks depressed and lost. It's just like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The abuse on the part of Rachel is obvious. I'm really sorry for June.

  13. Started wathing this channel from tiny flat, where you were editing your videos near the kitchen and now you guys have your own big and beautifull house! So happy for you, really in love with your channel it's so cozy and always give some good emotions and inspiration. Love ~ <3

  14. I can’t believe it’s been a year! It seems like just yesterday!!! Time sure does fly!! I’m so happy you guys are happy!! Your home is beautiful and you guys are absolutely living the dream. I’m really excited for you guys and to see the future because I know it’s going to be amazing. I’m sending all of my love and best wishes!!! Thanks for taking the time to show us and explain to us. It’s really interesting as well. Have a great one!

  15. I just got a Sakuraco box subscription, you guys are a bad influence on my fat cells! Ha ha! Thanks for this idea. I know it will be an enjoyable experience throughout the year. Good to see you are enjoying your new house.

  16. May I ask how you clean your carpet floor? I never had one but only can imagine how quickly dirty it gets especially with cats

  17. Not sure if there's already something attached, but you can buy transparent rough plastic foil to glue on the stairs, it's barely visible and makes it easier for the cats to run up and down the stairs

  18. Great video! Here in NE FL at my home…in the 3yrs since I moved from owning my own home to an apartment.. Thank.the lords I've only seen 2 huge palmetto bugs after a rain, months after moving in.
    I am terrified of the dang things and scream like the girl I am!!! 😳😳 Uggh!! 😝 Had one fly on me when I walked in the door from outside!! 😠😜😜

    Had a lizard or two….and 2 huge wolf spiders…. I leave them be.

    Its crazy how a 2–3 inch bug literally terrifies me. Raid Max and my broom are my friends on that! 🤣🤣

    Your home is lovely…. I agree about the bathroom sink height could be higher…..cats are so cute. Lots of places to run around now.
    Thanks for your service, Rachel. How long were you in the military?
    I think you mentioned it a long while back.

    Happy New Year to you both!
