[Life in Japan Theme Song]

Oh my goodness — just look! All kinds of crazy stuff in here, huh?

Traveling, spontaneous Yoga [laughs] Spontaneous Yoga?

Spontaneous Yoga, are you into that? (Shakes head)

Cruising, exercising, walking, at the beach, grooving, high-heel relief, every-day errands, water sports, kicking back, commuting.

Well, there you go.

Getting your exercises in while you can, huh?

It's an igloo. An igloo, huh?!

Frozen Igloo. They have the most random things here.

It is — it's like there's no rhyme or reason to how it's put together.

Look girls, they have everything you love right here.

There's badminton, there's the Razor Ripsticks, and the soccer balls.

It's like the Becca and Anna corner, huh? Yep.

Hey Ruth, could you imagine working here and listening to this song all nonstop? Oh, serious!

Here's something Daddy thinks is fun — takkyu — ping pong.

You're supposed to do this (imitates ping pong sound)

Yeah, it's fun! Yeah, I know that.

Uh oh. Daddy just saw something he likes! This?

Yes!

Probably should get it.

Do you remember playing with this at the park?

It was so fun! Joshua remembers.

Oh! At Yamanakako? Yea, ok! Daddy's going to get it, ok?

Electric scooters? That is awesome!

All kinds of drones... cameras, fun stuff here.

Fire place in our house — wouldn't that be cool?

That would be cool, huh? A nice little pretend fireplace?

Heaters? Yes, we have a good heater. Toilets.

Toilet seat covers and toilets. Japan has the best toilets in the world. Best ever.

Oh, they have refrigerators and... oh this is what I want.

Oh, a deep freezer. Imagine the things you could freeze.

I can only imagine. Entire Costco trips.

Coffee makers.

This one — it's only small cup.

Yea, they're all small though. It grinds it.

My mom has this one.

She's had forever from Japan. Really?

It's the best.

Wow! It just goes and goes and goes, huh?

This is what you need, a coffee scale, if you're doing a pour over.

Because you have to know how much water to pour in a certain amount of time.

That's what we do at the Coffee Shop

Yea- what a nice timer!

That's cool.

Mom, look at that Mario!

Oh let's look in this section.

Looks like we found some toys.

Look at all the... virtual reality glasses?

Oh my goodness.

Oh uh — Joshua found Mario Kart stuff.

Mario Maker 2!

Sarah, what did you find? Animal Crossing!

Animal Crossing guys! That's cool.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (Repeats "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!")

Stop copying me! Hello!

(Repeats "Stop copying me! Hello!)

It goes on forever!

Are you serious? Oh my!

Forever!

Oh my goodness, this store is just huge.

Let's go! It goes that way...

Goes that way...

Goes that way... and it has a whole other floor.

Anna found some school supplies. You like your school supplies, don't you Sweetie?

Yep!

Now we have entered into sugar arena.

Look out!

It's the year of the cow.

What?! Did you get a cow hat?

Yeah! Oh my goodness.

Cow hats, oh my goodness.

Very Japanese — an omiyage corner — souvenir corner.

Japanese souvenirs are usually little goods or food from that area that are specific to that area.

Finding masks to get. It's the new item.

Masks, masks, masks. Good find.

Yeah, especially when you have a lot of us and I have to wash masks everyday.

Sometimes twice a day!

Look — they have Catan in Japanese!

Ka-ta-n — sweet!

Uno... Fun!

So many of you have recommended this store to us, and I'm glad you did,

Because now that we're in here, it's got a lot of really cool stuff.

Aw... did you find him, and he was lost, without a home? With nowhere to go?

Aw

Ruth, did you see this here?! Camping supplies!

We can get ready to camp this new year!

Is that exciting, girls?

Yes!

Are you excited to camp again, Dude?

Yeah, I really want to get that marshmallow and eat it

And then "all done" and then run and play and then go back

Yeah? That's fun.

Rebecca, Rebecca! Look at that hat!

Look at that hat!

Rebecca Bonbon

Alright, well, our thing is filling up.

What do you think? Rebecca Bonbon. But it's got a lot of little like, it looks like cat hair or something on it, huh?

Is that the style of it?

No, I think it's all from this other stuff...

Oh, you found some socks, Anna?

Anna from Frozen? Very nice.

The girls do love their socks, don't they?

You like chasing different socks? I think this will be a little big for you.

Is that what you chose Sarah? Let me see.

Aw, Olaf!

Oh, nice. From Monsters Inc? Yeah

I'm so lost in this store.

I just keep walking and walking and it never ends. It just keeps going!

Oh my goodness, look! It just doesn't end!

Oh my goodness!

Look if you actually want some shirts with some kanji on it you can get it here.

This is pretty rare.

This kinda reminds me of like Walmart in America, you know?

Look, poop. Poop.

Oh man.

Can I buy it? What a poopy shirt.

No.

You can buy it.

No, I don't want to wear poop!

How do the prices look so far like compared to other places?

Well some things are very good, especially things that are on sale,

They're spectacular sale.

And the other things are just ma-ma (so so).

About normal, huh? Yea.

Oh those are cute Pokemon glasses. They almost look like Joshua's Mario ones.

There are several things I have in common with Japanese people, and one of them is that I share—

I share a love for bags with the Japanese people.

Let me tell you what. I get into the bag section and look out!

Where are you going Anna? Bye!

Where are you traveling to? America

America? (In Japanese) Have a good trip

That's like a granny one.

You would not believe what I just saw.

We thought we were at the end of the store. We did!

I literally thought I was at the end.

Oh my stars, it just keeps going! Let's go!

Let's go deeper into the labyrinth.

And we still have one more floor.

And there's a whole other floor! Oh Rummycube!

What?! Look at the games!

Oh my goodness!

Is this Sarah Bear?

No! Anna Cakes!

Rubik's 2x2. I wish I had that when I was a kid.

The 3x3 is hard enough.

They have a 4x4! What in the world?! That would just be ridiculous.

Can anyone do a 4x4 Rubik's cube?

OK, we're almost back to where we started.

First floor — we still have the basement to explore.

I wonder if the basement is this big too.

I wonder what else they could have in the basement.

I don't know, they put everything out here...

OK guys, we already played with all those ones.

We already played with all of them. We don't have to play with them again!

The basement is stuff like food, grocery store,

Pizza!

Other things like that.

We came downstairs, first floor, and what did we find but all kinds of international oatmeals,

7-Up, Guaraná, oh my goodness!

We are shopping!

Oh man!

Raisin and Spice. I've never seen instant oatmeals in Japan and here they are.

There's raspberry... Oh!

Maple and Brown Sugar

Look out!

Ruth found the drink of her... childhood.

Childhood. Guaraná from Brazil.

Pão de Queijo. Another one from Brazil.

I found beans. The bean that you like?

Oh they have Garbanzo Beans...

Oh my goodness, Ruth is just like...

So happy. So happy.

Look, each one of these tags show you what country it's from

Holland

These torradas Oh, those are good.

You can get some of those.

We're kind of hungry now, so it's dangerous.

They have stuff from Britain, France...

Here's a bunch of stuff from Italy, Soup from America

Stuff from America, oh here's Campbell's Soups that we're familiar with.

Ragú?

We've been here almost 2 hours. Now we're going to check out.

Well Ruth — what did you think?

It was a very amazing store.

And it's only about 40 minutes from my house.

So — I will be back again!

So Anna, we're about to end our trip, and how are we going to end it?

With Kurasushi!

Yes, get two please.

If you've never been to Kurasushi, it is a treat.

You order everything on your iPad here,

And it comes out on your conveyor belt.

Very cool.

All you guys on your side you all got your food already.

Munch munch munch.

We're waiting for ours, aren't we, Dude?

Yeah. And Sarah.

This side don't have their food, that side has their food.

Daddy got one of his favorites.

Seared Salmon with Cheese

You put your used plates into the plate collector,

Oh, there's mommy's ramen!

Hot! I really like Yakisoba

You put the plates in there, and as soon as you put 5 in, you get to play the game.

One more. Here we go!

Oh common guy, common guy!

You can do it!

Uh oh...

Ahhhh - hazure (missed it)

We didn't win.

We have to try again after we eat more plates!

We've got a couple "hazure" — let's see if we can win something this time.

We may not have had a lot of luck at Kurosushi, but we sure scored big at Don Quijote.

This store has a little bit of everything at decent prices and is another great part of living in Japan.

Oh! We lost again!
