We built a house in small-town Japan: construction wrap-up, home tour, rural Japanese life!

Construction has finally wrapped up, and we've been living in our new house in central Japan for about year now. If you remember from the last video, construction wasn't completely finished when we moved in here. This video, part 10 in my "Home Construction Adventure in Japan" series, documents the completion of the construction process, finishing touches, and how we dealt with a few unexpected issues that came up. And I'll finally be able to give you a tour of our completed new home. And you can even join me while I head out to polish a bag of rice. It's a good chance to check out rural, small-town Japan while we're at it. And finally, why don't you join me for a beer (or tea) on the patio afterwards? Unless of course we have a typhoon to deal with first. Which we will. As for the music used in this video, it's the same story as usual: some of it is original (ie. courtesy the Mysterious Doctor Ebot) some is from the YouTube Creators' Media Library, and one or two tracks may have been 'borrowed' without permission. (I'll be happy to provide more info if you ask.) Thanks for watching. I'm Jordan, Inside-Outsider in Japan, and this is my life.
