  1. I would love to live in Japan someday, so I am an instant subscriber now! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Your new home has such great natural lighting and layout…and oh my goodness, the ocean view! You’re definitely correct about the wall units – you’ll love them!

    1. It really is a dream come true for us. We have been volunteering to come here for the last 8 yrs. The bright house, yard, and views is what sold us on this house. ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Can’t believe that this empty space is where I spent 10 days and nights. Your home is filled with warm friendly decor and very loving family. Please invite me to come back again.

  3. Hi Kathy,

    Thank you for sharing your story. Your rental looks so cozy!! Me and my husband are PCSing to Okinawa next year. We are looking for a house like this with a small backyard for gardening and for my dog ๐Ÿ™‚ Do you mind me asking where your rental was located? Also what housing agency you used?

    1. That’s so exciting Michelle! Okinawa was by far our most favorite duty station. Our housing agency I think was called Sunshine. Our house was located in Gushikawa, Uruma. The street of houses was built for Americans but there are many wonderful options if you can live off base. I would totally look into Yomitan or somewhere on the China sea side for the prettiest beaches and views. ๐Ÿ™‚ Email me anytime when you get there (or closet to getting there) if I can help or make recommendations. And congratulations on the orders!
