Woo I'm back! Sorry for the delay, have not been feeling great but should be back to regular videos now 👀 🍡 Use code: SHARMELEON to get $5 off your first Sakuraco box 🌸team.sakura.co/sharmeleon-SC2310
Always put your health as priority. As someone who struggles with thyroid and hormonal issues cutting out the added sugars has helped me tremendously. No I am not keto lol. Keto is unrealistic. I will say that I do cheat and the next day is horrendous so cutting out the sugar is not all nonsense. Btw your dental health will also improve no not saying anything your teeth are lovely (not in a weird sexual way I'm a happily married woman lol).
I feel like you also did a long distance move recently and got engaged? So on top of managing health, you'd have to re-set up a whole bunch of medical relationships. @_@ That's so much work on top of the gatcha game of how much metabolism to do things is the thyroid going to provide in any given day. I think people burn out on camera facing work when everything is already stablish, without all that to juggle. I'm really glad the breaks (hopefully) help keep you from having to brute force types of working and there's enough diversity of work behind the camera that keeps things more sane. 😅
The second house is absolitely incredible. I didnt like that the first house is right next to a resident, like only a small wall between both sides of the one duplex. If I were them, I would be annoyed if tourists were constantly coming and going.
I have to admit that the whole intro I was just smiling ear to ear because Ushka's smile is just so contagious and precious honestly And huge congrats on the success! I hope that when I visit Japan soon that I can stay at Neko Neko Inn too! 💜 It's so great to see how much love and care you both have been putting into this project!
I really enjoyed the 2nd house. I agree that splitting it into 2 rentals with a common floor would be a good idea. And if you’re afraid of how hard it is to find you could put together a video “walk with Me” that guides renters to the house from the closest stations.
A wheelchair accessible, disability friendly rental would do super well. Trying to find wheelchair accessible hotels is so a hard I’ve found for looking to visit Japan.
@phantagirlable I dunno. I was at a place in Shinagawa. Though it did have an inaccessible upstairs, the tub, bathroom, kitchen, and futon room on the first floor had larger doors/hallways. The only thing upstairs was more bedrooms and a small toilet room. So while not 100% accessible, it was not the worst. A ramp would be needed for the front door, but the fact that kitchen counters are already so low is kind of a feature instead of a bug. 🤔
I would love to see a collab with someone in a wheelchair, showing pros and cons for wheelchair users getting around Japan as it doesn’t look very wheelchair friendly around the streets and such.
As one of the lucky people who has stayed at Neko Neko Inn and hasn't been able to get a 2nd reservation yet, I am super excited about a potential 2nd house. Also so happy that more people will get to experience the amazingness of Sharla & Ushka's work on the house and their hospitality!
If you could get the 2nd house in this video… it would have SO MUCH POTENTIAL - as someone else said: the Neko Neko “Mansion” could host 2 sets of guests (upstairs & downstairs with communal kitchen etc)
I had the same thought! I actually think that would be really nice too because when you visiting Japan. Sharing stories or ideas would be really nice for when you don't know where to go or want to visit surprise places
@@MitsukiMimichoe Yh I can confirm this idea you’re thinking; I’m in japan now… got here 6th Nov & already my mate & I have gained some recommendations, tips and advice from those who have travelled here before Like we (at time of writing) have only been in the country for about 19hrs & already blown away by it all Kept saying yesterday (it’s 5am here) “it doesn’t feel real yet” (like being in a dream)
Love the idea! Having lower and upper, they can leave middle for common area and make 2 different rental areas, one upstairs, one downstairs! Sounds good!
@@TerahneeI think you are right but another toilet and another bathing room is something they could add. They have lots of space there. Would be expensive though.
Like so many others have said, I really think the Second House has such potential and the view is absolutely stunning. People would stay there just for that!
That bush with the little orange flowers, it's called an osmanthus, I first smelled it in Korea my first autumn there and I was so confused because I kept smelling apricots everywhere but it was obviously not the season for it, then I realized it was this bush, lol.
if I purchased a small apartment in Japan, I would 100% trust Ushka and Sharla to help me renovate it. I have utmost confidence in their skills, craftsmanship and knowledge. 👍😊
That second place was really amazing. I remember a few years ago you had the tiniest patio space but you managed to craft it into a cozy area; hoping you can work your magic on your next rental property!
That dirt path will suck for someone dragging their suitcase in the rain and mud. I’m so happy you two are exploring and expanding your Neko Neko empire. Ooo that crack that goes from floor to ceiling in the first house is worrisome, but I would completely live in the second house.❤❤
I thought the same. That they were both out of breath after the journey it def would not be fun trying to get to your accommodation after any time travelling. It seemed like a slog
Friend groups are pretty common. It’s easier to go to Japan as a group since it’s so far and cost is a bit steep for shorter trips. Save on some expenses as a group.
Such a great benefit that comes from making a RUclips channel when you do any business plans later on... you already have a face and audience and you start a AirB&B and boom, fully booked. If I ever get to travel to Japan I will try to book at one of yours... you might have a few by that time 😂
have you considered a shared house? you could lock off the bedrooms and put the keys in lock boxes with key codes so that only the people staying in that room could get the key for that bedroom when they check in! (or do key code door locks) i think it would be cool to stay somewhere that you could have other travelers to share a common space with but also still have your own bedroom ☺️ that could also give you space to do some cute themes with each bedroom
I was literally just thinking of suggesting something like that. Like having just the top 2 floors as shared? Or have an option when booking if you are open to it being shared?
@@dismantled-the-heart yeah, imagine the two guests have a dispute or don't get along. They'd have to come over to negociate or fix the issue. It's just adding extra stress...
It just goes to show that, if you put time and love into something, it'll be a blast! I'm honestly not surprised the original Neko Neko Inn worked out so well! You all put a lot of passion into making something people would love! I have no doubt you'll do great this time, too!
It's great you're back. I was getting worried not seeing anything from you. As someone who has gone through burnout and all, it's always important to listen to how you feel. ❤️ sending lots of love from Germany. Your videos always bring me a sense of peace after stressful days.
The 2nd house could be def very attractive for larger travel groups eg families with kids (or grandparents). Or friend groups of 4+ Or maybe rent it out for people who wanna stay longer (eh 4 weeks+) n who would love the extra space 😊
That first house scared me just in terms of all of the 'tells' that it is in spot that faces risks from landslides--that may well be tied to why there was that big crack going up the whole thing. Be sure you guys check the various hazard maps that have been put out--it's nice that in Japan property owners need to list potential hazards as part of the sales process, but it's better to know about a risk before visiting a location since once people fall in love with a place they visit any information about a looming hazard is going to feel totally unimportant. Thanks for your great videos! Always enjoyable!
Yay for a new video!!! I have needed a distraction after the worst week of my life. I had to put my dog down on Thursday (cancer) and have been having a hard time with depression and watching RUclips has helped (I know that sounds stupid but it has been a good distraction) Ty Sharla for brightening my day ❤ Also the insta you posted with the second cat is so true! My second kitty is a little hellcat lol!
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss😢❤ Getting into TV shows and YT can be such a good distraction from real life sometimes. Sending you a huge hug!! 🫂
Wow, I could imagine all the cool things you and Ushka would do to renovate. Honestly if I ever start a cat themed cafe or bakery, I would love to have a consultation with you guys. Neko neko inn looks awesome.
The second place looked like it had potential as Neko Neko Villa lots of balconies with those views, and that garden 😻- kitchen was a bit tiny though! First place probably had too much work, and being attached to the neighbours unit might cause future problems… Hope you find another house soon!
Literally THIS MORNING I was sitting here like "I REALLY miss Sharla" and then here you are! I'm soooo glad to see you back in action! Hi Ushka! I'm so excited for another Neko Neko Inn project! :) Congrats!!
A communal share house for the second one with private bedroom spaces would be such a fun idea . it would give people a chance to connect and make friends with other likeminded travellers. The main considerations would be making it comfortable to have shared and private spaces, as well as extra upkeep work for you guys, such as managing multiple overlapping bookings, and end of stay cleaning/cleaning communal spaces etc. It has such potential to be such a fun and interesting space though!
A thought on the multiple rooms you provide guest with 2 keys one for the house and one for their bedroom. people could rent and number of rooms with group rates for multiple or all rooms. The kitchen living room and such could be open to all guest if it isn't a group. just a thought. best of luck.
8:40 the side door is in case of having water/liquids drip onto the wood in the living room. you can go to the kitchen space and put bags on the sink while grabbing a few towels to wipe self down with. Tokyo Portfolio channel showed a new house with a side door that leads to the kitchen from the side gate
Many here said the house could be shared with some staying downstairs and some upstairs with common place free for all. I think that's a great idea. People who know you two from youtube are probably high on your renting list so that would give common things to talk. And people who rent communal spaces like this are open for starting talks with the other guests too and would find it fun too.
I was in Sendai about a month ago and there was a kinmokusei/osmanthus tree at the castle ruins and I genuinely just stood beside the tree inhaling the smell for a few minutes. Like a crazy person. And then found a bunch of things with that scent at Don Quijote.15/10, best smell ever.
the second house looks absolutely GORGEOUS , definitely buy it if you get a nice offer!! it has a lot of potential, monetary and otherwise, the view is amazing, the place is so bright and the garden!!!! i love it so much
it was fully booked when I tried staying at the inn when I was in Japan!! A second Neko Neko Inn sounds amazing!! I would love getting a second chance to stay.
12:47 this streetview is amazing. Might be right out of a manga or anime, love it. And thank You for the video, was so nice to enjoy watching it after a long working day 🙂
Hi Sharla, great to see you. Hope you’re feeling better. And great to see the amazing Ushka too. We couldn’t be happier to hear a NekoNekoInn 2 is being planned. Our little family of 3 had the best time staying there in July and fell in love with Sangubashi. We’re returning in March and were sad to see NNI was completely sold out. Best wishes in the house hunt! ❤ Jenifer
I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling well, Sharla; hopefully you're feeling better now! I can't tell you how excited I was to see your face, it's really made my morning!
I've missed you wondered where you been, I've subscribed to secure for a year and always wait for you to show me the contents before I get mine, living in California it always comes two weeks late. So glad to see your alright
Welcome back! The new houses look so exciting. I love the neighbourhood with the colourful trees, fruit trees and little library. It's so precious. 😍 I'd love to live there too!
My only concern would be how far those spaces seem from the center of Tokyo. That could curtail a lot of interest in them. The second place looked gorgeous though!
The first one had a lot of charm, but you are right, so much needed repair. The second one has such a breathtaking view, and what an amazing well-established garden!
In the second house I would probably make the bedroom facing the garden into i sitting area where you can sit and enjoy the garden. It looks like an amazing place to live!
Second house is gorgeous. Big windows, lots of natural light, beautiful garden... the area around is so nice too.great view! Maybe you can get a deal for it..
I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I’ve been a longtime subscriber and your videos are such a delight to watch at the end of a long day: informative, interesting and fun. Fellow cat lover here, so the cat theme is a definite bonus. ❤️
I love both of the places! I know the first needs a lot of work but I think it has a lot of character. The second is great-feels like each room has its own view/balcony space and the garden!! 🌿🌷💕
I LOVE the window seats the 1st house offers, but the views and the garden for the 2nd one have me sold. Looking forward to your next Airbnb, hope you’ll find a place soon!❤
I LOVE YOUR NEW ADVENTURE !!!! ... Id love to come to Japan!!! I love librarys... All the fruit trees and sweet smelling one to boot. How fun is this ?!?!! Wish you the best you guys 🐱
Lovely to see your videos again Sharla and hope you're feeling better. In the second house if you go for it, you could do something else with some of the spaces, like open your market to other content creators on the move who need office space with good lighting, or a games/tv room for families with kids, gym room etc. There are so many ways to market the space if you're set.
@@sharlainjapan Hehe I follow this IG page that just lists all kinds of cheap houses in Japan, many of which are way out of the way and many need severe renovations, but some are in great condition. All of them make me want to move to Japan SO BAD!
That 2nd house is perfect for an inn especially with the views and all the patios. Imagine in the winter sitting outside and watching the snow fall. Ah perfect.
The second one if you can get a deal on it you guys definitely should do it! It's so beautiful! would be so fun seeing what you could do to so much space :)
just a piece of advice you guys may have to redo the roof because theres obviously a water leak when it rains. Also do a mold inspection because if you have a leak like that usually leads to mold.
Yay!! We love you Sharla, thank you for posting again. I know it is a lot of work and you have been diligent for so long in posting. Definitely take breaks and feel free to change it up. Congratulations on the second Inn, it is a dream in a dream to visit Japan and stay at a cat themed bnb. Shoutout to Ushka for being a perpetual ray of sunshine. ❤ I especially loved the neighborhood tour with you two, that’s a format I could see working well for future videos.
Sharla... this was another good one. Just hearing about neko makes me think of my cat that lived for almost 20 years. Keep the house hunting videos coming.
Honestly that 1st house could be a nice little love nest for you and Chris, as it has 2 bedrooms that could be a home studio for each of you, and lots of windows and ledges for tuna and Marrow to watch the world from. Also house number 2, could also be a nice home for the kitties as well!
Always cool to see this stuff. First house looked like way too much work but second house looked manageable. Both had really interesting locations and layout imo.
Oh I am so excited for you both! I absolutely adore the second house! I do hope you are able to find one that is suitable! Good luck and thank you both for bringing us along!❤❤❤❤❤
I'd knock those 2 tiny top floor bedrooms into 1 at the 2nd property. It's big enough to lose a small bedroom for comfort of a larger top floor bedroom.
The second house is amazing with tons of potential! Imagine a family or a friend group there - everyone could have their own space! It just seemed so airy with the balconies, garden, and views 😻
2nd one is definitely in better shape that why no doubt it's more expensive,I would get the 2nd one,first one looks like too much work especially with that big crack that looks like serious structure damage

Welcome back. Don't worry about taking time off, your health comes first. Hope Chris has been taking good care of you.
Yes please 🙏🏻❣️ new videos ❣️
The second house is absolitely incredible. I didnt like that the first house is right next to a resident, like only a small wall between both sides of the one duplex. If I were them, I would be annoyed if tourists were constantly coming and going.
Not to mention the renovations at first.
The second house made me feel at peace. With the views and the garden it looks like a nice area to live and relax
I have to admit that the whole intro I was just smiling ear to ear because Ushka's smile is just so contagious and precious honestly
And huge congrats on the success! I hope that when I visit Japan soon that I can stay at Neko Neko Inn too! 💜 It's so great to see how much love and care you both have been putting into this project!
Thank you so much😀 Ushka is the best!! 💗
For real tho. You gotta get on those cat onesies and literal cat's pajamas game. 👍

WOW that would be a top idea, Megan!! So hope she will do that! Love from Pinkie
A wheelchair accessible, disability friendly rental would do super well. Trying to find wheelchair accessible hotels is so a hard I’ve found for looking to visit Japan.
Oh, that's a good point. One of the strengths of individuals with short term rentals has been increased accessibility options.
Yes as a disabled person I think would find getting to some places in Japan difficult. Its a shame
That's a really really good idea
@phantagirlable I dunno. I was at a place in Shinagawa. Though it did have an inaccessible upstairs, the tub, bathroom, kitchen, and futon room on the first floor had larger doors/hallways. The only thing upstairs was more bedrooms and a small toilet room. So while not 100% accessible, it was not the worst. A ramp would be needed for the front door, but the fact that kitchen counters are already so low is kind of a feature instead of a bug. 🤔
I would love to see a collab with someone in a wheelchair, showing pros and cons for wheelchair users getting around Japan as it doesn’t look very wheelchair friendly around the streets and such.

It's true. Part of my trip was with another couple and we stayed at a larger, 3-4 room place.
The 5 bedroom is the perfect B&B paradise. It has the perfect Japanese Anime look and views that people interested in Japan want to see. 😲
Such a great benefit that comes from making a RUclips channel when you do any business plans later on... you already have a face and audience and you start a AirB&B and boom, fully booked.

That second house sparks joy, the area looks beautiful!
Nice to watch you back. I hope you feel bette now ^^. The second house looks so nice and perfect for larger groups.

The second house is absolutely beautiful, the view especially, straight out of an anime. Truly stunning
it was fully booked when I tried staying at the inn when I was in Japan!! A second Neko Neko Inn sounds amazing!! I would love getting a second chance to stay.
House related content is literally my fav 🤩
This neighborhood looks sooo nice. I seriously would just love to walk around all day. So cute. Hope you find something in the area!
12:47 this streetview is amazing. Might be right out of a manga or anime, love it. And thank You for the video, was so nice to enjoy watching it after a long working day 🙂

I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling well, Sharla; hopefully you're feeling better now! I can't tell you how excited I was to see your face, it's really made my morning!
Well that's a perfect end of my day and a great start of the week! Yay!
The Vertical crack is ok, as it is just a sign of settling. It is a horizontal crack that is a sign of foundation issues.
Great to see you back. Sorry you’ve not been feeling well. Ushka is such a sweetie. Lovely to see her too. ❤❤
I've missed you wondered where you been, I've subscribed to secure for a year and always wait for you to show me the contents before I get mine, living in California it always comes two weeks late. So glad to see your alright
Wow Sharla, you're starting to sound quite British! 😍 it suits you! BTW, the garden in the 2nd house is amazing!
Welcome back! The new houses look so exciting. I love the neighbourhood with the colourful trees, fruit trees and little library. It's so precious. 😍 I'd love to live there too!
That second house had me hooked with just the garden alone, but those views were amazing too!
That second house is SO cool. I love the very vertical layout. And that neighborhood looks so charming and inviting.
The crack in the walls is signs of a bad foundation. Be safe ladies ❤
Agreed the first house was cheap for a reason thinking foundation issues as well I suspect a new roof
My only concern would be how far those spaces seem from the center of Tokyo. That could curtail a lot of interest in them. The second place looked gorgeous though!
When my sons and I visit Japan one day, we are definitely visiting nekoneko. They adore cats. Even just one night would be awesome.
The first one had a lot of charm, but you are right, so much needed repair. The second one has such a breathtaking view, and what an amazing well-established garden!
In the second house I would probably make the bedroom facing the garden into i sitting area where you can sit and enjoy the garden.
It looks like an amazing place to live!
Second house is gorgeous. Big windows, lots of natural light, beautiful garden... the area around is so nice too.great view! Maybe you can get a deal for it..
I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I’ve been a longtime subscriber and your videos are such a delight to watch at the end of a long day: informative, interesting and fun. Fellow cat lover here, so the cat theme is a definite bonus. ❤️
14:11 that garden has so much potential!
I love both of the places! I know the first needs a lot of work but I think it has a lot of character. The second is great-feels like each room has its own view/balcony space and the garden!! 🌿🌷💕
Welcome back Sharla we missed you
I'm dreaming of the day I can come stay in one of your Neko Neko Inns 😊 so excited to hear that you're expanding!
I LOVE the window seats the 1st house offers, but the views and the garden for the 2nd one have me sold. Looking forward to your next Airbnb, hope you’ll find a place soon!❤
The back garden of that second home is TO DIE FOR!
I LOVE YOUR NEW ADVENTURE !!!! ... Id love to come to Japan!!! I love librarys... All the fruit trees and sweet smelling one to boot. How fun is this ?!?!! Wish you the best you guys 🐱
I am so ready for chapter 2 of this series!
Lovely to see your videos again Sharla and hope you're feeling better. In the second house if you go for it, you could do something else with some of the spaces, like open your market to other content creators on the move who need office space with good lighting, or a games/tv room for families with kids, gym room etc. There are so many ways to market the space if you're set.
I love these videooos! ❤
Come house hunting with me next time you’re in Tokyoooo! So fun looking at places here 👀👀
@@sharlainjapan Hehe I follow this IG page that just lists all kinds of cheap houses in Japan, many of which are way out of the way and many need severe renovations, but some are in great condition. All of them make me want to move to Japan SO BAD!
The view of the second house is *s t u n n i n g* 😍
Such a fun video!!
Man both had such beautiful views. Amazing stuff. Such a nice vibe too. Wouldnt mind living there, at all.
I don't usually comment, but I sure missed your content, Sharla! Thanks so much for another awesome video!
That 2nd house is perfect for an inn especially with the views and all the patios. Imagine in the winter sitting outside and watching the snow fall. Ah perfect.
The second one if you can get a deal on it you guys definitely should do it! It's so beautiful! would be so fun seeing what you could do to so much space :)
just a piece of advice you guys may have to redo the roof because theres obviously a water leak when it rains. Also do a mold inspection because if you have a leak like that usually leads to mold.
Yay!! We love you Sharla, thank you for posting again. I know it is a lot of work and you have been diligent for so long in posting. Definitely take breaks and feel free to change it up.
Congratulations on the second Inn, it is a dream in a dream to visit Japan and stay at a cat themed bnb. Shoutout to Ushka for being a perpetual ray of sunshine. ❤ I especially loved the neighborhood tour with you two, that’s a format I could see working well for future videos.
I just got back from Tokyo 2 weeks ago and saw these flowers (2:30) and loved them! They are so pretty and now I know what they are called! :D
Sharla... this was another good one. Just hearing about neko makes me think of my cat that lived for almost 20 years. Keep the house hunting videos coming.
Oh nice I’m early for once! Love these house hunting videos. It’s my day off and it’s cozy Sharla video time! ☕️🤗
Honestly that 1st house could be a nice little love nest for you and Chris, as it has 2 bedrooms that could be a home studio for each of you, and lots of windows and ledges for tuna and Marrow to watch the world from. Also house number 2, could also be a nice home for the kitties as well!
Hard no on the first one. And YES! YES! YES! on the second one. I agree, I want to live there, too. The money saved on reno is worth it.
House number 2!!! You sounded really excited! And first house has a lot of potential and cozy and would be amazing to see the transformation.
I'm currently in Tokyo for 20 days and I know I would just absolutely DIE of pure joy if I ever accidentally met you on the street 🤩
Always cool to see this stuff.
First house looked like way too much work but second house looked manageable. Both had really interesting locations and layout imo.
Oh I am so excited for you both! I absolutely adore the second house! I do hope you are able to find one that is suitable! Good luck and thank you both for bringing us along!❤❤❤❤❤
I'd knock those 2 tiny top floor bedrooms into 1 at the 2nd property. It's big enough to lose a small bedroom for comfort of a larger top floor bedroom.
The second house is amazing with tons of potential! Imagine a family or a friend group there - everyone could have their own space! It just seemed so airy with the balconies, garden, and views 😻
I think the 2nd location has more potential than the first. Good luck!
It’s lovely isn’t it! That little garden! 🥹✨🌷
Good to see Ushka (sp?) again. Lots of success on your new venture!
That is so cool and im very happy and excited for you and Ushka's endeavors! Thanks for sharing and I wish you both the best! ♡
Happy to have you back! And Ushka! ❤️❤️❤️
The second house ❤, the garden ❤
I enjoyed this video, taking a look house's in Tokyo. Found it interesting. Hope to see more.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The one with a rooftop patio is really wonderful!
2nd one is definitely in better shape that why no doubt it's more expensive,I would get the 2nd one,first one looks like too much work especially with that big crack that looks like serious structure damage
