Hi Chako, Wow, is it common for Japanese movers to pad all the walls and stairs like what’s shown in the video? That’s impressive. I’m also impressed with the boxes with padded inserts for fragiles like chinas, dishes, etc. I agree with you on the notion that moving is a bitter, sweet experience. Watching you go through the empty old house and thank each and every room, made me really emotional. I can feel you are reminiscing about all the memories attached to every room of the house. It’s a cliché, but it is these memories full of love, hopes, dreams, etc. that make a house a home. Enjoy the new chapter in your life in your beautiful new home with the beautiful family.

Yes, very common to pad the walls! I see it all the time, even in apartment building elevators! When people rent here if the walls get damaged from moving large bulky furniture around, the current renter would be responsible for paying the damages, and most people don't want to lose their security deposit all on that. We were very lucky (thanks in part to the movers) that we weren't charged for anything when we moved out of the old place! It was a little bit emotional on that last day when I went back to clean. I'm glad I was able to film the place one last time- it will be a precious memory for our family to look back on! 🥲
I don’t recall moving with AC when I lived in Japan….sounds like an extra work to have it installed. I don’t think moving companies in US do AC installation, need to hire somebody separate for that. Most houses here equipped with central heating and AC, so that part is easier.

It is extra work to have the AC units removed and reinstalled. We had to use a separate company to do that work, but they were affiliated with the moving company so it was easier to coordinate with them. I do miss the "built-in" central air of normal American houses for that reason... But the company was very professional and did a good job and also installed our light fixtures for us as well. They even did a deep cleaning of our aircons, which was a good thing because they were very dirty inside.

@@Chakochan-MylifeinJapan I guess the Japanese way is more energy efficient. My house only has one thermostat, so especially during the summer time, even though downstairs is perfectly comfortable, I need to lower the temperature so that I can go to sleep upstairs. I was told that in order to have a separate thermostat, I need to change the entire HVAC system…Sounds like you got an impeccable service regardless, great Japanese customer service!
I felt that the day before your moving day was very difficult. You had to use entire food that you could'nt bring new house. I can't that calculate. And room's echo is very interesting. I'v had experienced that my last moving. I sang at the time, because that was literaly funny. How was your children? And begining of new life is exiting. Your children’s behavior told me. and I remember that kind of day. I felt nostalgic during watching this story.

The kids were excited about living in a new place but at first it was a little bit chaotic as we got everything organized…

立つ鳥跡を濁さず Birds that fly do not pollute the land where they live. This is a famous Japanese proverb.I really respect you for cleaning the house you lived in properly.
Congratulations on your move! It looks like a lot of hard work but I’ll bet it’s been so worth it to live in a bigger better space. I’m sure your old house understands your need for a larger home and that’s why everything worked out well in the end! Look forward to your next vlog!
Good thing that you called 0123 company to carry all the furniture, beds, kitchen appliances and cot (baby bed) to your new house, Miss Charlotte, which is convenient.
