    there is some places like this. http://www.jbs-mom.co.jp/ but price seems not cheap. ¥4,536 / 3 hours ¥3,672 / 2 hours also you have to pay initial fee.

    You could try searching Facebook for mum groups in your area. Having a few friends who will swap babysitting from time to time is a great help. Some mum's would live the cash in hand if you wanted to 'hire' them regularly.

    There are babysitting agencies I have been seeing online. You can inquire to them or just go to their office and see what goes. I've seen one agency that's called Honey Clover.

Your "buy it for life" purchases in Japan

There's a reddit community I really enjoy reading called r/buyitforlife. As the name suggests, people outline purchases that they've made that truly stand the test of time. Kitchen items, clothing, shoes, etc... What have been your "buy it for life" items here?

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
