Yayyyy, thank you for watching! 🥹 We’re really happy that you like our videos (and Sakura kotatsu 🌸). And yeah, now we’re leaning towards keeping sofa legs on too!
I just found your videos. I used to live in Japan and I'm really trying to move back with my husband next year. This was like nostalgia for me. Thank you and subscribed!
You guys made this apt so nice. Nice apt setup. If I were to move there, I don’t know how to make a small space like that comfortable. The balcony is a great plus with good sunlight.
Thank you so much 🥹 We spent a lot of time thinking about the furniture and positioning- so we’re glad you like the result! Oh and for the balcony we’re planning to add a little table of some sort 😄
my subscription list is full of Japan content (I'm American) and I told myself NO MORE - and then I watched 3 of your videos and said well....okay one more and that's it! Looking forward to more videos!
It is all shaping up pretty nice! We bought a 1.5 seater couch recently and are using it with legs attached! It is just easier to clean that way. Legs also help keeping the floor mostly scratch free (important when moving out if you want to get most of your deposit back). You can buy some scratch resistant pads for the legs to be on the safe side.
Oh wow, thank you for the tips! Looks like the legs are staying on (we like clean & we also appreciate getting most of our deposit back 😂). Where’d you get your new couch from, btw?
Hi sweeties, I would do the sofa with the legs (cleaning underneath!!). But it's your home, your choise!! Love the Kotatsu!!! So lovely and beautiful! You did great!! Warm greetz and love from an old (rebel), Pinkie
My daughter would love how that chicken leg was had. She wraps her chicken legs in paper toweling at the narrow end of the leg. Me, I'm wondering how your bed fits in all that when it comes time to sleep.
Yes, it's great how user-friendly the wrapping is! As for our bed, we use a fold-up tatami & futon mattress that we lay out onto the floor each night. It has actually been quite wonderful for our backs.
Thank you! ☺️ You’re right, there’s no separate bedroom! We use a fold-out tatami & Japanese futon mattress at night. It gets store away in the closet every morning, that’s why you don’t see it 😄
@@itsjeffandmel Thank you for sharing I really appreciate it. I run my own business so can work from anywhere, my girlfriend is an author. We plan to study Japanese and eventually buy an Akiya to renovate! Please keep sharing your videos we love watching them :)
@@christhomas1679 It's such a blessing that you guys have the flexibility to work anywhere! If you ever decide to document your journey of moving to and renovating an Akiya, it would be so interesting to watch. Thanks for enjoying our vlogs, we'll be sure to keep uploading! ☺
the kotatsu is so cute and i think the legs on the couch work better than no legs! i’m really enjoying your vlogs 🩷

Thank you for supporting us, as always!!! 🥰
Jeff reminds me of Jackson Rathbone (actor in twilight) haha has he ever gotten that before?
Oooo no one has mentioned that before, but I can see it! Jeff is flattered 🤣 I would’ve been insanely thrilled about this back in my Twilight era. 🤭
Really like your channel! You guys are so sweet :)
Aww, we're so happy that you like it! Thank you for enjoying our vlog 🥹
Great video! I love the couch. Do you have a link for that and the kotaksu?? It looks wonderful with the legs.
Thank you! We've been using the kotatsu daily- it's great! Here's the link for it: www.creema.jp/item/9442429/detail
Which store did you get the Sakura kotatsu?
We ordered it online from a website called Creema! It’s kind of like a Japanese Etsy ☺️
I´m wondering where do you guys sleep? I do not see an additional bedroom.
But nice apt tho :)
Thank you! ☺️ You’re right, there’s no separate bedroom! We use a fold-out tatami & Japanese futon mattress at night. It gets store away in the closet every morning, that’s why you don’t see it 😄
@@itsjeffandmel thank you for the explanation, I was very curious 😁
Looking forward to the new video ☺
Gorgeous Kotatsu! where did you buy it from?
Thank you!! It’s the cutest one we’ve ever seen. We ordered it from a seller on Creema, which is like a Japan version of Etsy apparently!
The table and couch look awesome, couch with legs❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! We're leaning towards keeping the sofa legs on as well!
legs on sofa looks cute! no legs easier to clean ☺
Wow I love this video. My girlfriend and I are moving to Kyoto in September. What do you both do for work?
Kyoto, that’s so exciting! Are you both moving for work? Jeff works as an engineer, and I left my previous job to move here!

One day this will be me and my bf ❤
Where did you buy your couch from? 😊
We ordered it from this site: www.rafila-fan.com ☺️ Our sofa is the “Bouclé Fabric Sofa 2.5-Seater Smore”
Thank you! It’s cute might order one. And btw, love your content 😊
Hehe, thank you so much! 🫶@@prengverdan3914
