Hey Sharla now that the fall is coming, I was wondering, do you like reading, and what are your favourite books and what new books will you be reading this fall (manga counts too btw) ? If you dont like books, thats ok too. Just wondering. ; ) Good luck with your project.

[@sentimentalcircuscurator]

Ever read a book called "Time Cat" by Lloyd Alexander ? Hes written more than one book about peculiar/excentric cats. Its for a younger audience, but I like it anyway. And theres also "Dayan the Cat" by Akiko Ikeda. Its a fantasy/fairytale series with an MP thats a cat.

[@BlackyBrownDestruction9337]

I hope your vending machine business does well

[@AILEEN_MARTINEZ123]

Awesome episode 😁

I got one! Loved the last one and as Australia goes into summer I defo need stuff for when I burn! I use sunscreen but always still get burnt! Ty!

This is the first time I've seen a vending machine being placed! That's so cool! A great idea.

[@megand6233]

The whole installation was so Japanese: Would you like us to adjust it? What lighting do you want? We proactively thought of English labels, We will come back in two weeks to adjust the offering, We probably won't make any money from this but happy to be of service...

[@Krytern]

Wow it’s so exciting to see all the changes since we stayed there! The cat pancake maker is so adorable! A vending machine outside the house that supports cat shelters! 😻 The new cat comforters and Yukata are perfect! Great video Sharla! 😻

Yeah, to hell wih Chris :) now I am shipping her with Sharla 🙃

[@deliadruhe7156]

I love the cat comforters! So much better than the oversize flowers which overwhelmed the rooms with their large scale. All the cat themed touches make for a wonderful immersive experience. I know anyone staying there will have a wonderful time. Wishing you much success.

[@chiyopipi5672]

I agree! The flowers are a no no for me (I run an Airbnb myself and I wouldn’t use it in mine)

[@shelleyharris4176]

What is you are allergic can you stay there??

[@thomasschmidt1836]

As an option for the pancake mix, you can crack the egg into the milk and mix the two together before pouring into the packet. Would avoid any accidental eggshell crunchy bits into the mix.

[@luckycat7567]

I can't wait to stay at your Neko Neko Inn sometime soon! Love that the guests are leaving little pieces for the next person to find and I will probably do the same when I stay! The polaroids such a cute idea too! Loved the vibe of this vlog so much.

I'm having a high-anxiety day and this video is very well-timed. It has helped me, gave me a nice relaxing break from my struggles for a half hour. Thank you for your efforts.

I also tend to save these videos for chill time or to chill me

[@pinkymoon5039]

Your daily life vlogs are the best!!! Always so much fun to watch. Lovr what you and Ushka have done with your airbnb. How did you meet Ushka and can you perhaps someday introduce us to her? I wonder how she ended up in Japan and where she originally is from. 🤔

[@sharlainjapan]

See my “staying at a cat Airbnb” video - that’s how we met!

[@charmaineparsley7921]

I have an idea for your B&B! Why not get a capsule machine and fill it with fun challenges and suggestions for guests? Like one could be "go to our favorite ramen place" and has the address. Maybe you could partner with small places and they'll let you have coupons to encourage people to visit them?

[@Magicalwolfgamer]

That’s a really cool idea

[@I_Am_Mir]

It’s amazing that this is the same house that we saw at the beginning! It really transformed! I hope you get many many guests who can relax and enjoy their time in Japan!

I'm staying at NekoNeko next year, so I'll be buying from that vending machine to support the animals! That's so awesome of you guys.

[@stephaniesosna8213]

I've used both dental floss (unflavored) or fishing line to slice cinnamon roll dough. These options are finer in dimension than the string you used. Pretty fun wasn't it ? Your air bnb is beautiful. What a great idea and investment 😁🐾💞

[@Nat073]

Ohhh I love the cat bedding so much more than the flowers. I say just get another set of the cat bedding so you’ll always have the cats! It goes better with the theme of the Airbnb. I can’t wait to stay there one day! We’re going to be getting 2 Maine Coons in October! They will be our first cats ever! We’re super excited for this new addition to our family!! We get to meet them this weekend! Eeeeeee!!!!

[@ameschan1351]

SHARLA! I was wondering when you plan to restock your Skincare Box. I bought it and wanting to get a new box only to have it SOLD-OUT 😭 Please let me know if you ever plan to restock. Also love your vending machine idea and location. It's so giving and genuinely sweet that all goods go towards charity. ❤️❤️❤️

[@sharlainjapan]

Next one will be March 20th! Keep an eye on my vids I’ll mention it there again ❤️

[@emd4104]

The daifuku looked absolutely delicious 😀The trick with the string works on other things too, it’s brilliant if you ever need to cut something soft and delicate. I used to work as a baker and a piece of non-minty dental floss was brilliant for slicing cakes before icing and stacking the layers, on a soft sponge it was always much tidier than a knife.

[@violetx9668]

The string to cut is how my nana taught me to cut cakes in half for putting jam and cream and kirsch or whatever in the middle of

[@zengrath]

I just love how most Japanese are always so nice and professional. Just a vast difference then I'm used to in my country. Those guys installing the vending machine were great. I know every country has it's bad apples but Japan seems to have far less of them.

[@jj3077]

So lovely to see the place lived in - can't wait to stay there! My only concerns are that the living room looks a bit cold/dark, and that there are no closets or garment racks. Also, perhaps a video showcasing all amenities/appliances (i.e., kitchen, blow dyer, slippers) would be interesting to share. Always sending love from Ontario!

[@nancylin8583]

Your Neko Neko Airbnb is amazing. I love the finishing touches and can feel the warmth you ladies have put into creating this cozy space. I will book!

[@tamarf4596]

Everything looks so cute! Great job on the little touches. One little suggestion: instead of precariously hanging the little mirrors on the coat hooks, I would get those glue-on mirrors you can get in IKEA and glue them on the doors or somewhere on the walls.

This video is so good. Feels like an anime with different arc. Really love this 28 mins length video.. Quite a treat.. Thank you sharla.

There is something comforting about you three being so excited about the mac n cheese and huddled around the stove. I wonder iif the people back in the day would be huddled around their cauldrons getting hyped about the especially delicious smelling batch of stew they are making. I'd really like to think that food could be enjoyed in such a way. LOVE the B&B!

Actually so keen to stay here one day! Myself and one of my best friends visited Japan for the first time in 2018 during April and we had such a blast! Unfortunately during our stay in Tokyo our hotel room was so small, I can’t believe how reasonably priced Neko Neko in is! And everything is so cute, and I love cats so it’s a win! Definitely want to stay here in the future for our next Japan trip! ♥️

I absolutely love these vlogs. Between you, Chris and Connor and the boys from trash taste, I'm never bored.

Cozy videos and awesome vending machine! You've come a long way and you should be proud.

[@emiliaskreativeschaos9975]

I love and I adore all the quirky little cat things you have around in the B'n'B. It is so fitting that the guets leave you the little cat gachas. Such a sweet tradition! Also it seemed like the three of you had the most awsome pyjama party ever. ♥

[@erika8349]

Cat comforters are so cute! Definitely goes better with the theme 🐾💜 Suggestion, you can get a tall mirror and put it in the wall if you want guests to see how they look before walking out the door. Hotels usually have them, and I always like to check myself and outfit before heading out 😉 That way you don’t have to use the little mirror on the hanger 👍🏼

[@mizusenshisongs]

Seeing the vending machine set up was actually kinda interesting! That was nice of them to provide labels in English as well, since it's an Airbnb after all. Recently I've gotten into this isekai novel/manga (and soon to be anime) series called "Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon," which is about a vending machine otaku who gets reincarnated in a fantasy world as a sentient vending machine, so I've been learning a lot about Japanese vending machines lately. Love how the lady put a cover over your bag due to the rain! What a great idea!! Also I've used that eye mask that was on the beds! I bought it at a Japanese store around here. I think they just use steam and unlike most eye masks (which usually go under your eyes) they go over your eyes. They seem to work pretty well in my experience. I've seen different variations of them - this one store I've been to called Miniso (which is kind of like Daiso but a Chinese company) even has Marvel ones!

[@ushkace]

We thought the steam masks would be nice to help guests relax after traveling to the inn :)

The amount of dedication and attention to detail that you a Ushka put into the Neko Neko Inn is amazing! I was just awwing the entire video! Also, another Skincare wonder box from Sharla! I love your boxes and the products you recommend, they are simple, fits practically all skin types but, at the same time, well thought out to incorporate into your routine. Unfortunatelly this is bittersweet for me personally since last I checked, Wishtrend still isn't shipping to Portugal and I miss their products so much... 😭

Oh my heart, the Airbnb is perfect! Hopefully my Son will follow through on his promise to take me to Japan.

[@gordchapman3469]

Wow! Cats overload in your Air B&B; my wife would love it! I don't know why, but I love the atmosphere in the little alley where the vending machine is, especially at night! I think it reminds me of somewhere near my old apartment in Sendai!

26:26 One thing I'd recommend is maybe getting some bump guards for the edges on those little loft steps. Especially considering that you kinda have to be low to get up there, those sharp edges could be the bane of many shins. ^_^

You managed to make the place even more adorable. That might be the peach tea I love and used to get at Daiso; looks like the bottle. Stationery shopping, sweets shopping, and that meal at home looked like the perfect fun day. That plastic cover to protect the bag in the rain is such a nice touch (I mean yes, more plastic waste though). The string to cut the daifuku reminded me of cutting clay in ceramics class, except we used a metal wire.
