Thanks!

Oh, thank you so much!!!!

Great ideas in this video, thank you! After watching, I went to Amazon and ordered my own Yutanpo which will be nice in our cold Midwestern winter. I enjoyed your presentation very much! :)

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

I'm glad to hear that. I hope you enjoy your winter time with Yutanpo!haha

Kairo is similar to an American product I have heard of called Hot Hands. The product uses a chemical reaction to produce heat as well. the label says to slip into gloves or pockets for convenient warmth.

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

Oh, it's available in the US too! Yes, Kairo is also a product that uses chemical reactions.

[@rosajacobsen8140]

Great! A very fascinating look at everyday life in Japan.

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

Thank you. Please come to Japan and be sure to try out a kotatsu.haha

[@lsmith992]

Kairo are the carbon heat pads sold everywhere in western countries. They are air activated.

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

Thank you for sharing western country's info!! Winters in Western Europe are cold too.

I came across these tables in Amazon. I thought it was fantastic. I only have 300 ft.² in my little house. No space for something like that. But I still find it fascinating. I do sleep on the floor on a tatime mat and mattress. The original plan was to roll it up during the day. Tonight it is supposed to get down to 27°F. I’m using an electric blanket. I have have several wool blankets…. I also have four cats. Cats and wool like each each other a lot. I still take out my wool like it they are comforting to me. I just got my new toilet seat. It’s Japanese, therefore it doesn’t bolt to the floor, but is glued. For those that are reading this, they don’t know there’s earthquakes in Japan. I should’ve gotten a heated seat, but I didn’t. There’s no electrical outlet in my bathroom. The shower and the commode is in the same room whereas the sink is separate. I sit on a stool and bathe and then I shower off. I finally deficient and and water conserving. My water heater is at source or on demand.

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

Wow, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm so happy to hear that. If you come to Japan, be sure to try out a kotatsu!

[@NicoruAmarfi]

I live in the US version of Canada which is what we affectionately call MinneSNOWta. It can get down to 50 below zero F- windchill in the winter. With lots of snow. I really wish I had a Kotatsu here.

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

That's very cold... When you come to Japan, be sure to try out a kotatsu and buy one to take home as a souvenir!haha

El kotagsu es equivalente a la mesa camilla de España.Aqui es más alta porque no acostumbramos sentarnos en el suelo,sino en butacas o sofás .

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

[@marilynturcotte5304]

Hot pot in any wintery part of the world is an excellent body warmer-upper meal.

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

Yes! I thinks so too!

[@tatianasierota3391]

That table seating on the floor, wouldn’t work for me. I have bad back and can seat on the floor like that, and probably o get cramps legs. 😂

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

Sitting on the floor may be a custom unique to Japan.

[@ServinUone2]

I've seen video's where they are sitting in a chair using the table heating 😉

[@delenebennett3010]

That’s why Asian people live the longest and are healthier than Westerners They excercise and use thier legs to get up off the floor Great use of the thigh muscles and balance

[@Whippy99]

Same.

[@Whippy99]

We have hot water bottles here in the UK. They are made from rubber so are easy to store. They are also soft so can be placed directly onto the body. So comforting.😊

[@ariadnasabatacatala7502]

I'm glad I could help you. I hope you have a wonderful time in Japan.

[@robyndaye4155]

This is all wonderful and good but I still prefer a centrally heated house here in the US

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

I think so too. It's very convenient. But if you come to Japan, be sure to try out a kotatsu!

[@Gedankenwunder]

I also appreciate my Kotatsu here in Germany 😀❤‍🔥

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

Oh my goodness!!!! So nice! Kotatsu is Japanese traditional item!haha

[@acemurasaki2166]

Wo kriegt man denn hier einen, mein Landsmensch? Importiert?

[@Gedankenwunder]

@@acemurasaki2166 ja leider teuer mit Zoll importiert 😪 hat sich aber schon auf Dauer und Nutzung gelohnt 😄 es ist immer eine große Freude den Kotatsu im Winter im Betrieb zu nehmen 🙂

[@Gedankenwunder]

@@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan I am in love with Japanese everyday objects. I also only use a Wagasa as an umbrella 😙

[@acemurasaki2166]

@@Gedankenwunder Ja das habe ich befürchtet. Einen authentischen futon zu bekommen ist auch unmöglich oder Tatamimatten. Alles in der Vergangenheit versucht. Ich hoffe er hält sehr lange und wird weiterhin sehr viel freude bringen und vielen Dank für die Information!

[@irenegonser]

Feliz Navidad! En España hace mucho frio dependiendo de las zonas, la humedad y la altitud del lugar. Nosotros tenemos cosas similares. nuestro Kotatsu tradicional se llama MesaCamilla. Ancestralmente es una mesa alta, con una plataforma entre las patas de la mesa, y en el centro un recipiente de hierro fundido (brasero) con brasas de la chimenea o un tipo de carbón llamado Picón. La mesa camilla lleva una cubierta de tela gruesa ("enagüillas") que mantiene el calor dentro. En la actualidad, el brasero es eléctrico, y en muchas zonas de España se mantiene aunque haya calefacción central porque es muy agradable y provee de hermosas siestas en el sofá en las vacaciones navideñas. En la cama, también se unan bolsas de agua caliente o heatpacks de semillas y en los baños, un calefactor tradicional, para conectar mientras se está dentro. Estas medidas son de bajo consumo y de bajo coste, Me preocupa mucho la cantidad de gasto que hacen de energía y de objetos disposables. Por mucho que recicle, el reciclaje no es la solución. El frenar el consumo si lo es. Un saludo,

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

Thank you for sharing information about your country. It helped me a lot to understand the differences between Japan and other countries. I appreciate it!

[@asuncionsanchezcordero285]

El yuta po equivale a la bolsa de agua caliente .

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

Oh, thanks so much!

[@snowysnowyriver]

That heated table looks like a huge fire risk to me.

[@taliaeve969]

They have been around in multiple countries for hundred of years. It’s probably safe unless you are an idiot with it. I could say the same fire fireplaces.

How nornally will be mid january begin feb pls ? To go for a walk ...like in Tokyo only

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

The temperature is between 5-10 degrees. Please dress warmly when coming to Japan.

[@rsoubiea]

So how is the katsatu not catching the futon on fire? That looks dangerous.

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

This may be due to the high quality of Japanese products.haha

[@emanailu438]

Mi scusi , ma lei e'una guida turistica ? Perche vorremmo vistare il Giappone , ma non con viaggio organizzato

[@Thomas-yr9ln]

What a great idea I never would have thought about putting a blanket around the table to keep the feet warm.

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

This is Japanese traditional culture. I hope you experience it when you come to Japan.

[@jeanhopman5659]

Why do you not get central heating? it's 2024!!

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

Of course there is heating, but some Japanese homes also have traditional winter ways.haha

[@kimseiberling5263]

@@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan, when I was younger. I used to stay at my friends house. And they always kept the house cold in the winter. We used to put a blow dryer under our blankets😅

WHY ARE THEY SLEAPING ON THE FLOOR? NOT IN A BED ,EITH MATRESS?

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

In Japan, it is customary to sleep on futons laid out on the floor. However, due to the influence of Westernization, many Japanese people nowadays sleep on beds!

[@GundiSiewert-x8s]

Warum bauen die Japaner keine Heizung ein?

[@Toshi-Guide-from-Japan]

Es gibt auch eine Heizung. Aber wenn der Winter kommt, möchte ich ein Kotatsu verwenden.

[@monikamichaelis-iw3to]

I never wanted to go there. Their lifestyle is alien to me. No central heating, no furniture, no bed, no way.

[@emesekatalinhomonnai2548]
