Why do Americans always call the bush a jungle, its not a jungle, its a bit of bush ffs
@
The couples are always “ far apart on their style preferences .” Same story every episode
@
They probably thought they would going to get an all paid luxury villa at her work expenses for that price then reality settle in i don't know if to call them naive or just plain vultures.
@
This is fantastic comedy
@
Okinawa is truly gorgeous. I used to live there. It looks like they’re house hunting in the middle of a tsunami lol😂

This was hard to watch.
Moves to Japan. Doesn't actually like Japan. 😳
@
Husband should get out and learn about Japan then take his wife so they get to know Japan.
@
Also get to know the train and bus system. Also do not talk on trains and buses. Ferries are like cruise ships. I follow Rion Ishida. They should too.
@
Also realtor should explain more about the tatami room. I hope the dogs and baby don't go in.
@
If anyone has not lived in Japan, you won't understand this. Japan is beautiful and the people are so friendly
@
I lived on Okinawa for 2 1/2 years. Perfect weather and beautiful! I loved it there.

Lucky win please house 🏠🏡 help me please

So unrealistic. An early intervention teacher in Japan would earn a top salary of $2600. per month. Unless of course she has an inheritance it won't work. Athough it's still entertaining.

With a child and dogs, why would the realtor show them houses with yards that aren't fenced, especially when there are dangers like a pool and a steep drop-off? They're just tragedies waiting to happen.
@
She wants exactly what she had in the US, with a few traditional Japanese touches. Not happening.
@
Moving to Japan to live like an American. Why bother?
@
The father keeps talking about sitting around all day.

Moving to Japan knowing you don’t like seafood alone is crazy 😂
