Our First Week in Uchinada, Japan: Beaches, Bikes, & Buying Furniture

08/14/22 • 42 min

What have we been up to during our first week living in Uchinada? Join us as we talk about our new apartment, shopping for furniture (and curtains!) at Nitori, and visiting the Sea of Japan for the first time. We also get to buy (and register!?) our new mamachari bikes. There's a Dino Park, a forest promenade trail, and a bakery just outside our apartment - what more could you want?
Also, follow us at @ramblingramsbothams on Instagram if you want to see the current cardboard box recording studio we have set up in our apartment :)
We're just starting to get settled here in Ishikawa Prefecture, and there's lots more exploring to do! Have a question or idea? Send us an email at [email protected], or visit our website: https://www.ramblingramsbothams.com/
