## Resource

After 3 weeks, several ferries, and a lot driving all over Japan, from Niigata to southern Shikoku, Take and Joey sit down to recap their journey. This time, they're coming to you from the parking lot at Kochi Airport, mere minutes before Take was set to fly back to California. They recap all that has gone down in these three weeks, from the prospect of setting up tiny homes, to visiting the coin laundry in Tama, to the prospects of areas like Kochi and Kaifu. They also touch on some recent news and talk about their hopes for an upcoming trip back to Japan early next year. Buying a House in Japan is a production of AkiyaMart.
