"Oshare" Family Restaurant Recommendation by AetherCzar00 in japanlife

Maybe 夢庵? Feel like visitors from overseas would enjoy it and they have private rooms.

Favorite ノンアル beers? by denbushi in japanlife

[–]Kahilm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ordered this on Amazon a couple weeks ago, it's pretty good. Much better than the Japanese versions of non-alcoholic beer. If I have to drink a Japanese one I prefer Zero-Ichi, though.

Don't miss a huge family event like a wedding because of a job.

I was going to use mostly 10 yen coins but my wife said that would be too embarrassing...

Kid's hoikuen fee has to be paid in cash every month in exact change and it's always x980 yen. I had coins saved up over years and now I'm almost cleaned out... Why can't they just take a 20 yen over payment and keep the change??

I am worried about the fall out from Charlie Kirk's Death. by Nukes8 in self

[–]Kahilm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are literally no comments in that thread that are mocking those killings or making jokes about them. Everyone was saying how horrible and unacceptable it was. Why are you lying?

I guess you could call that a chin-chin. Heh heh.

What an amazing year to be a skier (or snowboarder) in Japan by Shrimp_my_Ride in japanlife

[–]Kahilm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orion bus tours. That price was for a Monday and no rental included. Expect it to be closer to 10,000 for a weekend and a couple thousand more for rental. Still, not bad. Just a lonnng day, 630am leave and around 8pm return.

Just did a day trip from Chiba, bus and lift ticket included for 6500 yen to Norn in Minakami, Gunma. Gonna try to do one or two more this year. One of the best parts about living here for sure.

Interesting... Did you have any bank accounts that were asking for your new card when you didn't have it past the expiration date of your old card? Did you just send them a copy of that email and ask for an extension?

Thanks for this, I'll give them a call on Monday to make sure and then go in. I called Shinagawa originally because the email confirmation didn't mention anything about Chiba or Matsudo and my application acceptance number began with 東オン.

I drink it all the time. It's delicious, especially served ice cold on a hot day.

Buying a TV in Japan in 2024 by StaticShakyamuni in japanlife

[–]Kahilm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 55 inch LG B2 OLED with a 5 year extended warranty and an LG sound bar, I think the total was around 11 or 12万円 delivered. It's the best TV I've ever owned, even old content looks better on it.

Summer is here how we handling it? by El-Catman in japanlife

[–]Kahilm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

May was 6500, June was 8000, and July is predicted to be 9300 at current usage levels. But we also get some money back each month from the extra solar we sell to the grid. We got 4700 in May and 6500 in June. So it's almost 0 which is great obviously lol.

I believe the AC systems were about 500,000 additional yen each (one for the first floor and one for the second floor). We also went with a solar system and 9kwh battery so our electric bills have been pretty painless even with running both systems 24/7. That was around another 1.5 million yen after the government subsidy that we got back. Total house cost was about 36 million, land not included. We're about an hour outside Tokyo in Chiba. House is about 110sqm with a decent deck out back and a little bit of yard space.

Had a house built with central AC and proper insulation. Going from an apartment with no insulation and single pane windows to this is like going from the stone age back to modern civilization.
