Hello, Eleanor. It's a few minutes past noon of Sunday here in Japan and we have just finished our lunch with my husband. Thank you for sharing us about your excellent retirement life in Ireland. Making this channel to share about our retirement life in Japan is one of the best decisions I have so far. Thank you for coming here on this comment section and I wish to have your comments shared with us from now on. Ireland... a beautiful country you're from.

Grace, I think favour their local people over foreign workers is very normal in all countries Maybe Japan is more “obvious “. In Singapore , the Ministry of Man power has quota set for employing foreign staff as in eg. you have to have 5 local workers in order to employ one foreign and there is also a Levy to pay for the Lower Salary worker like construction worker or cleaner etc…

Hello Elsie, I don't know why but when it comes to government policies, I've no issues in Japan until I worked with Japanese people. There was one employer who liked to sexual harass me but when I reacted badly because I couldn't bear it anymore, I was fired at that moment.

Do the Japanese have like a 401 K plan or company sponsored retirement plans? Do they have a medicare type plan for old folks?
@livingwithgraceinjapan4 күн бұрын
Yes, there is an equivalent in Japan called *Kosei-Nenkin or Employees Pension Insurance* which covers private/company and public sector/ government employees. Contributions are paid by both employees and employers. (half-half). In my case, I am a freelance worker, I pay my contribution called *National Pension or Kokumin.* Regarding the equivalent of medicare, all Japanese nationals as well as foreigners (residing in Japan long term and permanently) are required to register as "resident" to their respective local government offices ( cityoffice/ town office) where they will be given a health care card. This card will be used by that person with his/her medical process. Of course, each should pay a payable amount monthly.

I just watched this video which you posted a month ago. Happy Belated Birthday🎉 You really enjoyed putting on Kimono, you had so much patience trying especially putting on the Obi. You often mentioned about you being able to stay in your dream place Japan which is not possible for me. But I hope and dream at least I will be able to stay there for a few months at least🙏

Thank you so much!! I wish I could find a teacher from our neighbohood who will teach me wear appropriately. I also love to learn ikebana or flower arrangement. I hope I could find a place as well. When a person gets older, a desire to buy stuff gets lesser and lesser. I find fulfillment in learning new things.

Your channel brings me comfort and peace. I was care giver to my husband for many years and sadly he has passed. I had hard time accepting that he was gone. Watching your videos brought me joy to know how hard it can be but I know now I was not alone. Your channel brings hope to those who are caregivers that you’re not alone if you just share your burden with others. In America you don’t have the support your getting in Japan❤ I had to pay for things like help with home care, nothing much is supplied you have to pay fees for almost everything you need help with. Happy that Japan helps with much needed elder and disability care. Thanks for sharing

Hello Grace, once again , a very touching video, we learn so much from your video’s. I wish you a very Happy Christmas holiday, also all you wish for in 2025. I think I visited the area where you are now living, I went many times to ‘ Motegi Resort ‘ to visit the ‘ Honda Collection Hall ‘. motorcycle museum. It’s quite close to ‘ Utsomumya ‘ ( it’s not quite the correct ‘ spelling. I remember we traveled through Nigano & Miyagi . Do you get snow during the Winter? Here in the South of the UK , the last few weeks it’s been cloudy & mild , yesterday +15c. It would be nice to see the Sun again but then it would be cold at night. Don’t work too hard if you can’t. Kind regards. Ian.

Thank you, Ian. I asked my husband the places you mentioned. He knew those places. I'm sharing videos for the community of like-minded individuals who are needing each other- because in reality, life is not all positivity. We do need other people hands to hold but sometimes there's no one near us, physically and emotionally. This channel is for 'them". Thank you for watching as always.

@livingwithgraceinjapan Drear Grace , I totally agree, i have absolutely no outside help with my wife ' Seiko ' . Today I was able to have a day off. To visit my daughter, grandchildren & two great grandchildren. Tomorrow we have to be at the ' eye clinic ' with my wife by 10-30am , so early start in the morning. So a short nights sleep tonight. I'll write to you later this week, to give you an idea of our monthly costs. Goodnight & kind regards. Ian.

Merry Christmas Grace and to your family too. The autumn colours are beautiful and nature is indeed entertaining. I love walking in lush areas too. Your home is cosy and warm. It's wonderful to see you actively keeping the area alive and well used. Although I understand your use of the additional subtitles, can it be with a transparent background? Cos I like to see continuity in the video and seeing you make food it's like peekaboo, covered and uncovered cooking It's still great editing though. Take care.
@livingwithgraceinjapan6 күн бұрын
Yeah! I understand what you mean about subtitles. Honestly, that is what I want, too. But for the past months, there are requests from viewers to make it visible because they want to read the narratives. For me personally, I want to emphasize the films itself and sometimes doesn't prefer putting subtitles. Anyway, it is me who should improve my videos. Let's see the next videos. Thanks for the advise. See you on the next video!
