    This whole video about simple and beautiful surroundings puts me in such a good mood.
    I forget all my real-life anxieties. It's magic.
    And Lee has so much enthusiasm, it rubs off on me.

    18:44 I would like to suggest that you don't hide the first aid kit behind the cushion seat. It should be visible, so in an emergency situation people who are unfamiliar with the house can find it more easily. Also, I think it is a good idea to stick a red cross symbol on the box, or paint one on it. Since the box is already red, just paint a white cross on it instead, like what you see with the army medic.

    0:59 I think the light is VERY cool, but it should be mounted to the wall in a very accessible location so guests can find it easily. You need to get new rollers for the door. It's too noisy, I did it on one of my sliding doors (get nylon rollers) and it quieted them right down. I love how everything is so tidy, minimal and you've covered every base.

    • @Ryunohara
      @Ryunohara  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Hi, the exterior lights actually come on automatically just before sunset and off at sunrise so the switch to manually control them are hidden away just for me. The other switches are at very conspicuous locations.

    • @Ryunohara
      @Ryunohara  Před 10 měsíci +3

      It took 3 months of work from the carpenter, a day for the bathroom installers, and about 10 days from the electricians. Volunteers and everyone else have probably put in 200 hours so it’s a total of around 800-900 man hours.

    Is it worth visiting the cafe? Now it's not 100% clear in the about section or on the website if there is a cafe. I'm in Wakayama from next week. Would take public transport. Thx, Bob

  • @akathelobster1914
    @akathelobster1914 Před 10 měsíci

    Oh. I thought would be a guesthouse with rooms for rent. Instead it's a big house for rent to families. Digital nomads would probably be more interested in 1 or 2 bed rooms and communal areas for working, reading or meal making. Looks good but cannot afford it as offered.

    • @Ryunohara
      @Ryunohara  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Hi, unfortunately the size of the house made it difficult to install multiple bathrooms and toilets or to separate the rooms so that everyone gets privacy. Legal requirements for fire safety made it difficult to make separate rooms too. It made sense financially to make this house a whole house rental and currently we’re booked full through autumn.
