I spend a quiet weekend getting my life back in order.
This video shows daily life in Japan — cleaning, a Japanese laundromat visit, organising my home, and slowing down during winter.
After a full few weeks with my boys visiting, this calm weekend felt like the right time to take care of the house and enjoy the quiet again.
In this video, I clean and reorganise a spare room, do laundry at the local laundromat, and finally start a small sewing project. Living in Japan makes this kind of flexible, slower-paced life easier — from futons instead of big beds to strong laundromat dryers and adaptable spaces.
I also share a few simple thoughts on caring for an old Japanese house, finding peace in everyday routines, and appreciating calm moments at home.
If you enjoy slow living, life in Japan, cosy winter days, or realistic daily routines, I hope this video feels comforting to watch.
Thank you for being here 🤍

If you are new to the channel, my name is Chani and I am a middle aged Australian who was stuck in a rut and moved to Japan to live. I bought an Akiya or empty house and started renovating. I'd love it if you subscribed and joined the community. I look forward to seeing you in the next video 😀
