Laser or waxing services around Tokyo?

I tried signing up at Musee but they wouldn't accept me because I can't speak fluent Japanese. Does anyone know any places that offer such services, even for foreigners who can't speak Japanese very well?

A good place to look for adverts with bilingual services is the Metropolis magazine. These companies below offer bilingual services. http://www.elanajade.com/ http://laplage-beauty.com/ http://nuajapan.com/

Wow, very disappointed to hear you were turned away because you don't speak fluent Japanese. Shocking really. I have heard good things about Elana Jade.

Personally used both Nua (Omotesando area) and Elena Jade (Azabu Juban) when I lived in Tokyo, both were very nice and professional. They're also both easy to access via public transport which is also handy.

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?

What do you MOST associate with Oita?

Seen as there was a good response to the same question for Ibaraki AND today is Oita Prefecture day (although they don't celebrate it), what is the first thing that comes to mind when I say "Oita Prefecture"? I have written a post about Oita Prefecture day with what I most associate with it, but I won't write it here so as not to influence your answer, but you can read the post here; https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/BigfamJapan/Mnv34-living_oita
