For those who think moving countries is a good idea, make sure you travel to that destination often and do longer stays and see how you feel before you make that full commitment. Sometimes you have the traveling bug and you think the destination you travel to is somewhere you want to be long term, but its nothing more than the traveling high.

[@Morgan-yl3ou]

Thats true , i will try it . I am hoping to move to heaven soon , as i am very ill. I will take a few trips first to see if i like it . 😅

[@durzoblint8738]

It's also worth noting your size and habits compared to the country. There's absolutely NO WAY I could live in Japan purely because of how tall I am.

[@LilTommyboy2001]

That's a fact.

[@Flat_Earth_Addy]

Also depends on if you have spouses that are citizens and if you are rich like this guy. $1,800 a month? When I lived in Japan, I paid $100 a month for my home.

[@Whysoserious648]

U simply just can't

[@illiminate]

BRO THE HOUSE IS FUCKING INSANE!!

[@zelphx]

Classy language.

[@EternalCRTN]

spoken like a true confent creator bro. Love the community support, Both of you have been carrying my feed for japanese car culture😭

[@kali550]

Love the slice of life videos. For those of us that will never make it to Japan, you’re allowing us to live vicariously through your videos.

[@alanboy420]

That's what KZbin is for.

[@rawthentic.]

I lived in Japan for 5yrs… man I miss all of this stuff 😭 I know how you’re feeling in this video at the store! It’s a different feeling when it’s in Japan because their food/products are such top quality and the packaging is elite af lol. Man I happy for you and your family bro. Such an amazing experience for you to share and keep the Japan Daily content coming!

[@MariNate1016]

That house nice af for Japanese standards wtf

[@iwillhaveyourorder5174]

Whyd ya move out?

[@Keitanui]

when you go to japan can you live their longer or permanent?

[@RSXTYPES2023]

No one asked

[@rawthentic.]

@@RSXTYPES2023 thanks for carrying ❤️

[@DoJoStan]

$1800 USD/month for a house like that is insane. You can barely get an apartment the size of your garage in New York, SF or Seattle for that price. What a steal.

[@sirmione905]

If this house was located in downtown Tokyo, monthly rent would be easily over $10,000. Location is everything for real estate value.

[@Mark-vd2iy]

As the sign says, this is in Kamishizu, Sakura City, about 40 km away from the center of Tokyo, where land is cheap and it takes more than an hour by train. If you wanted to rent a house of the same grade as this house in the center of Tokyo, that would be impossible with $10,000 per month.

[@M1N1Girl007]

Our home is two streets from the beach, with three bedrooms, two bath. Our home is less than that per month with two car garage, large back yard and front yard. its only a four year old home In the U.S. We own our home, I'm never renting again to throw away rent money.

[@Primo978]

massachusetts is worse u wont find nothing at all for 1800 lol

[@torontoyes]

WORD! ADD all major cities of Canada to that list.

[@giff74]

Really enjoy the grocery store!! I would love more about the country and culture of Japan. Maybe consider dropping a video or two a month about a non car event, festival or shopping experience.

[@okriz8376]

Yep definitely agree. I would love to see the culture and traditional studd

[@xxDxxism]

i mean...you could just travel there

[@nataliesoutlet]

Absolutely stunning. Huge congrats ✨

[@ace6608]

and its 800 dollars monthly WOW👍👍

[@newguynasti2008]

Just recently found your channel. Want to say thanks you for all you do. You show us all the daily life things of Japan and I love it even more. Your home is beautiful bro. Keep living the dream and show us how to do it right.

[@littlebryan2367]

The edits, the house, the cars, everything. Is so amazing.! Keep it up man.! Someday I wanna experience Japan like this or move.! Thank you for pushing these sick content out for us.! 😛😛

[@ls3chevy052]

Leah should definitely show us Japan food markets, swap meets, malls and night life in Japan we would love to see it

[@saejinquan]

Bro! I was raised in Japan as a military brat (raised in Misawa and Yokota AFB). I always consider Japan as my home and it is great that I can watch your awesome content to see "home'. So thank you so much and God Bless!

[@2YLITE22]

This is such unique content. Love the mix of cars and Japan lifestyle. Thanks for sharing Josh!

[@monkeyhighRTD]

It is so cool how you can just park your old jdms outside the house without having to worry on theft and such. Japan is such a vibe

[@Alex-rb2uc]

Thanks for the tour of your new home! Seems like everyone is adapting just fine! Continue with the content and bringing your world to us here in the states, it’s different from what you normally post, but interesting to know different things from Japan.

[@truckerboi100820]

You and Koda are my inspiration for wanting to make it over to Japan just based on the cars. But the energy and lifestyle is the main reason. Hopefully I’ll get over there soon.

[@WHOTFSAIDuWu]

One of your coolest and best edited videos man, really cool to see you get more proficient in finalcut or w.e you use. So pumped for you and the fam to thrive out there in Japan! I'll be there soon after reading the ban is lifted on Oct 11!!

[@Cobourn003]

Great video, love your perspective of Japan as it’s always been a dream of mine to visit! Also wanted to say how well behaved your two girls are. You and Leah are doing an amazing job raising them 👌. Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@JESUSISKING77742]

I just got back to LA after 3 months in Japan and man I really want to move there as well. Miss how cheap everything is especially with 100 yen being .70 cents I felt like a baller down there 😂 Motivating to see you make U.S dollars and be living there, I’m trying to do the same thing which is why I haven’t moved yet.

[@Nick_Tank]

We believe in you!! Don’t stop grinding and get to Japan💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@niagarajoe4402]

The US dollar to yen will even out soon…..and I felt like my time in Japan was more expensive….driving the roads you gotta pay a toll!! Lol😊

[@JESUSISKING77742]

@@Nick_Tank Thanks a lot man, can’t even begin to understand how much it means hearing that!🙏

[@JESUSISKING77742]

@@niagarajoe4402 that’s true, didn’t have a car down there but definitely noticed that when my friends would drive. Was like 2,000 yen and had to go through 2 of those stations on the way to the beach

[@guccisauce57]

Find a job where you can work anywhere then you’ll be good to go

[@NHill8025]

I love everything about this, but I particularly appreciate your transparency with costs involved. It really helps to give a more realistic idea of what's required. Thanks!

[@JOE_NASTYY]

Wow. That’s a beautiful home! 1,800 isn’t crazy either if you look at everything as a whole and how modern it is. Pumped for you guys! 🔰

[@martinjamesdesigns3748]

Hey brother. Im honestly not into cars as much as I’m into bikes but you are such a kind hearted dude and it’s awesome to watch your videos. It takes a lot of commitment to move to a foreign country with your young kids too. Much love from Canada.

[@hamletyang1974]

Even as a car guy I definitely love watching these videos about your day to day life in Japan, rather than just all about cars!

[@clubsobri]

That is a pretty cool house, man. Congrats to you and your wife on the move. Have lots of fun in Japan!

[@kaypolplasco]

i really enjoyed this. Both of yall should do it, not only its a great content but its really wholesome

[@lucioalonso4547]

Yo, Thanks for the house tour. It's really fun and enjoyable to see how things are in Japanese culture. Can't wait to see what's next content wise!!!! ✌️

[@CaliforniaKonaN]

Thanks for the tour of your house, as well as the insight on your move! My partner is a Japanese citizen as well and we have 2 kids and moving to Japan would be a dream. This def is inspiring to see you make the move, hopefully one day I'll do the same!

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

My wife and I did it last year with our two kids. Not easy but possible! Good luck!

[@CaliforniaKonaN]

@@BRICKHOUSESPL Thats awesome, and great for you so far!

[@TraditionalJapaneseHouse]

We did it for 5 years . Our house is on the mountain for vacation home. We stay for 3 months and leave, It's a wonderful stay in Japan. we have a lof of friends.

[@jonathanwilkinson4299]

I love how clean and efficient the design of the house is. It's also interesting how there is no yard to speak of. Very cool. I love Japanese architecture it's so smart with how they use space.

[@jdmdang]

awesome vlog. this deserves 500k views +. u pretty much explained the basics of living expenses/necessities. and whats cheap / not cheap. nd as always continue to show the culture & lifestyle over there

[@okdestin]

i love these vlogs man, the car content and the life content are both mad entertaining

[@tanner7420]

Brother.. I lived in Japan while I was in the military in Yokosuka for 3 years. (2013-2017) Just watching you in the Yorkmart made me remember those days and I would give anything to go back. Japanese culture is so much different than ours and I respect it so much. Watching your videos helps me re-live the best times of my life.

[@SneakerHeadInTheBay]

Bro the house looks amazing! Thank you for bringing us along!

[@RJSanti]

I love the non-car content as well!! Just know that it’s appreciated & I’m sure there are a lot of people here that feel the same way, keep it coming! :) and most importantly enjoy your time

[@Gorillachill1738]

I'm from Rochester NY and ur vlogs have been an inspiration as a Father and as a beginner tuner also much respect

[@SINastayNate]

Awesome looking house. I use to live in Japan back in the early 90's. All the snacks are so vibrant and eye catching! I need to go back and visit.

[@CoffeeMadeMeSay]

Thanks for being transparent about the process and much appreciated!

[@karaboeugeneanthonythobega8141]

I've really come to love and appreciate this channel more. thanks for always blessings us with such great content.

[@keshibeats999]

I’m saving up for a place to live in Japan indefinitely by the time I’m in my late 30’s to early 40’s and yes it’s gonna be a 1 way ticket straight to paradise imo! I have until then to build up an income thru anything I can that’s online and learn Japanese somewhat fluently 😊👍🏼

[@paylode3111]

I discovered your channel by youtube suggestion and I love what I see! Its just so enjoyable to watch your car projects and your life. One of my future goals is to move to Korea because for some unexplainable reason I always wanted to go there and possible move there.

[@LT808]

Had the tremendous opportunity to live in Japan for 5 years and I love the video! It brought make so many memories and definitely made me miss Japan so so so much.

[@kohtsa]

Man I love your videos. I’m working towards my degree right now in school and am planning on moving to Japan. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@rhomotor]

I love Japan and can't wait to go back. They have an awesome car and motorcycle culture up there.

[@adle8279]

Ive been subscribed for a while but never got much into the channel but just finished all the japan videos (especially cause i wanna go) but now i'm going through a lot of videos... why did i stop watching? and you helped me get back into cars, i lost my motivation and passive for it but its slowly coming back and you're helping! and honestly, the flow of the videos, the editing and info is probably top 3 in the KZbin automotive side of things? (not sure what to call it) But keep up the great and hard work!! Love it!

[@gentlemandrivermx]

They way you explained things. Always good that you tell it like it is. Keep that up fam. “Briiiiid” seats. You caught on. Lol. Cheers to you, Leah and the mini me’s.

[@borany3335]

Love the content! My husband found you via car content a while back but we both love watching all the videos.. haha he saves to watch the videos with me now cuz he knows I enjoy them as well. Love seeing Japan and the fam included in the vids

[@gravityhammer25]

Such a gorgeous home! Inspiring me to get my own house and when I do I want to make sure it is something beautiful/different vs the usual cookie cutter house.

[@disfunctionz19]

Insane how good uve gotten with your camera work and editing mad respect

[@ninuvids]

Been looking for inspiration in house design and this is maybe my favorite template to start from. Absolutely love the house, especially the exterior. Whether the architect intended it or not, it’s a great balance of affordability, security, and safety while also being extremely pleasant

[@BadBradc10]

First comment I've left on your page or anyone's for that matter. Came across your page randomly one day couple months back and I've been hooked ever since. Love the content, a mixture of everything instead of just car culture. My 4yro son loves the intro when the beat changes on the rx7, makes him chuckle for some reason. Big fan of mooneyes also. Keep up the great content fam. Y'all be safe. 🤙💯

[@johnp91]

I just gained 10lbs watching and hearing you talk about all the Japanese food and drinks 😂😂😂 *JAPAN IS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY* Awesome content as always! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pyreqs]

makes me want to move to japan even more man , also side note that dining room table actually looks pretty good with mix match chairs lol

[@Joel_stbd]

I like this type of content just as much as the car stuff. Thanks for sharing! Great job finding that house it's really nice and the garage space is the cherry on top.

[@northlandlife115]

Sup Josh! Cheers for the tour. Definitely hit the spot with that space. Keep 'em rollin'. Stay safe! Stay Positive! BLESSiNGS from New Zealand!🙏

[@yenaaron]

Love this video. I am literally in a similar situation. Living in Japan w my wife and kid who are Japanese citizens and have income only from the US. It was a pain getting the lease of our apartment but I recently managed to get a home loan approved with my US income. Took a long time and a lot of patience though.

[@MilkTeaASMR]

May I ask if they factored your Japanese wife into the approval or was your US income the only deciding factor? Looking to buy a house in Japan at some point.

[@i6ixxr]

Def need more content like this more people in the US have to see how these other countries have their citizens not struggling due to greed, love the vid always nice to see a look into another country.

[@mvc2177]

Awesome!!! Love the cars and courage you have to move to Japan. Wishing you the best 👍🏼

[@Unelevated]

these videos are great I’ve always wanted to go to Japan and even being able to see how grocery stores are over there is pretty cool

[@gtada]

GD I lived in Japan for 2 years, and this video is making me feel SO nostalgic. BTW if you haven't had Japanese grapes they are absolutely worth 2x the price. Dear lord I still dream of eating those again haha

[@tiny.f8]

What’s the difference in flavor? I definitely replayed the grapes a few times bc they look so huge and perfectly spherical lol

[@josealicea6828]

Love to see you share this new culture old to you but new to me I love it the content is content bro that’s what this platform is about rather it be cars families sightseeing it’s an adventure all In all it’s a trip that I get to go on with you guys from my phone amazing cars family friends food people what more can you ask for you’re not living the dream you’re living the life can’t wait to see what you and your family do next🏁🎥🔥💯

We were in Japan for 2 weeks and in Okinawa for a week in March, we had the best experience. I'm so jealous. Great house, and a beautiful family!

[@davidmatos657]

great content man.. God bless you and your family!

[@BraveClam]

What my cousin did when he moved to proper Tokyo almost 20 years ago with his Japanese born wife was start his own translation and English teaching business. That gave him enough credentials, back then, for both of them to be able to purchase a house. Fast forward those ~20 years and he was able to be apart of The Mandalorian show translation team, which was super neat. He also worked on the Ninja Gaiden team for a few years back in the day. ------- I know it is different for you, as you kind of stated you aren't fluent in Japanese. But it appears there is always a need for help with the English language in some way or another, and maybe you can also capitalize on that. Anyways, thank you for sharing some personal life information! Wish you and your wife a happy life!!

[@prkchoptv8663]

Thats a cool house design even the material used is so good. Eye candy 😍
