My sweet home :)

Hello, it's Yuko.

I have been moved into my new house about a month ago with my husband.
The new house used to be my family home and it is about 65 years old.
So it is actually not a NEW house but we renovated some places such as windows, walls and floors.
We repainted the wall and polished the floor. They look really clean now!

It does look really new to me after renovation.
I feel like I'm living in the different house to where I used to live.
Of cause I have got new furniture and a sweet brand new husband.
Probably, that's why! lol

Since we moved in, we couldn't get much sleep because our house is located right next to the JR train lines so we get many small earthquakes when train pass through. And it is very noisy like thunder rumbling above our head. 

It took us about 2 weeks to sleep with it and now we get good night sleep in the cozy house.
I'm planning to have a nice flower garden in the spring!
I have got a Daisy in the pot :)
Which flower should I plant next?? Tulip, Marguerite, Pansy etc.... What is your favorite flower?

I would love to have colorful Japanese garden!!

Moving in Japan


I left my apartment I and my wife had spent for 3 years and a half on the other day. It was for the first time for us to ask a moving company. Comparing three moving companies, Kyoto born, the biggest transport industry and a specialty moving service, we chose the last one.

You have to finish packing before the moving date (except for furniture and electric appliances)

Our apartment was 2DK, two bedrooms and dining room with a kitchen. It costs 32000 yen which is rather cheaper than ordinary 2DK 's moving because we have few pieces of furniture, and already gave away a washing machine and a fridge.

In Japan, there is the law concerning the recycling of household appliances, disposal of washing machines, fridges, air-conditioners and TVs are charged about 4000 yen. I put ads on the message board of Kyoto International Community House and luckily two peoples came to pick them up.

I know only one moving service for foreigners in Kyoto. MOVE IT!
