    When we moved it was with Sakai Hokoshi Center - two of us, years worth of stuff, a 1 tonne truck, driver and assistant 70,000 yen. It sounds like you haven't anywhere near the amount of stuff we did so maybe they offer services for something closer to your budget. Their homepage is all in Japanese though, and I can't find where they might display some prices. Still, good service. http://www.hikkoshi-sakai.co.jp/ According to Tokyo Helping Hands, their services start from ~ 8,000 yen (truck and driver) http://www.tokyohelpinghands.com/ For 15,000 yen you could rent a van for the day and have a friend drive it if you can't yourself, and you'd still have money to spare, I think. It sounds like a van would suffice for the amount of stuff you want to move, too.

    I used Tokyo Helping Hands, which offers both Japanese and English speakers. Our mover was really friendly and we had no problems! Our cost for moving was around 25000 yen, but we had more large items/furniture.

Your favorite ways to unwind in Japan

A few little stressors have been popping up in my life lately, so I was wondering about your favorite ways to unwind here -- the big and the small. One of mine is definitely onsen when I have the chance to go, but that's not always an "easy to do everyday" thing. Let me know in the comments so I can incorporate some of them into my routine!

Dark sky near you and easy to access?

Where do you go to see the Milky Way? Is the location easy to get to without a car? I'm thinking about late autumn and winter getaways when the skies are likely to be clear. The last time I had a good view was in the Izu Islands in winter. I got there by overnight ferry and rambled around on a rented bicycle.

Are you happier in Japan than your home country?

Saw a list today via TimeOut which covered their "Happiest Cities" for 2025. (https://www.timeout.com/news/the-20-happiest-cities-in-the-world-in-2025-according-to-locals-101025) A couple of cities in my home country made the Top 20 (Melbourne and Sydney), but Japan was noticeably absent. It got me thinking. Would you say you're happier here than you were in your country of origin? Would love to hear your arguments for or against, and why that's the case.

Do you see dekotora in recent years?

I feel like in the last 20 years I see dekotora less and less. The only place I see dekotora regularly now is at two festivals I tend annually where they have a dekotora display. But the number of dekotora participating in those events also seems to be dwindling in recent years. So my question; do you still see dekotora in the wild, so to speak? Or do you only see them at special events?
