  Couple of things:<br><br>1. Don&apos;t sleep on mushrooms at the grocery store, cheap and delicious when in season.<br>2. Something you might see in a lot of Japanese kitchens is a tall cart with shelves and a work surface on top. Extra prep space that&apos;s adaptable.<br>3. Tower Knives in Shinsekai can help you with learning to sharpen your knives if you&apos;re uncertain.<br>4. If you want things like tea candles or the like, IKEA is your best bet, near Kaiyukan(or just order it online and miss the meatballs...).<br>5. Feel absolutely free to disregard any of this advice because I&apos;m obviously living vicariously through you after my plans to go back to Japan fell apart. Really happy for you!

  Welcome to Japan! Hope you’ll soon settle into a new life and feel comfortable in this country.<br><br>日本に来てくれて嬉しいです！<br>いつも素敵な映像作品をありがとうございます。<br>たしかに外国の人にとって賃貸契約はかなり大変ですね。日本人でも契約の説明をきちんと理解できてる人は少ないと思います。<br>外国の方の視点で無印など日本で買い物をして生活を整える様子を見るのはとても新鮮で面白かったです。<br>今後も楽しみにしてます！

  Wellcome to Osaka. I am a catholic priest from Spain who lives in the Cathedral of Osaka. I arrived to Japan seven months ago and I am now learning Japanese at shcool. By the way, the money you had to pay as a gift to the owner of the house for letting you live in his house is called 礼金 (reikin) in English &quot;Key Money&quot;... and yes!!! it is part of the culture. I have been following your channel for quite a long time and I am happy to know that you move to the same place hehehehehe I just started my youtube channel very recently and I am struggling to improve... but now, my most important duty is to learn Japanese... and it is going to take long.<br>Again, thanks for your work. I appreciate it.<br>If you come to the Cathedral, let me know and I will give you a tour around.

  I feel you. &nbsp;I&apos;m going though the same. &nbsp;Just relocated to Tokyo the first of August and took me 6 months finally find an apartment. &nbsp;Rejected 3 times! &nbsp;But now settling in. &nbsp;I just had my furniture shipped from the US and pleasantly surprised on how easy it was, just need patients, time and planning. &nbsp;Going through the same with naviagating all the payment processes as you say are in Japanese and it has taken some time to figure it out. &nbsp;Still not all figured out. &nbsp;Just have to be patient, but I love it here! &nbsp;Really happy now that I&apos;m getting settled in. &nbsp;Good Luck Joe. &nbsp;Seen you series on Made in Japan. &nbsp;Love them.
