    ??? I can only see one house. What's the choice? Are you wanting to build a house in Japan?

    There's a lot more to a house that the outside. More important would be layout, use of space, functionality etc.

    Personally I like the second one more (the one you posted in the comments) because I feel like it looks more modern and to my tastes right now. That's if we are talking purely on appearances!

    I like the second design better also. It looks easier to maintain.

    I don't like the color of the first, but the big windows and design are up my ally. It's unique for Japan, which also makes me like the first one better. The second looks nice too though. Classy. A bit m more refined.

    I like the second one. It looks very relaxing. I like the structure also very modern.

    I will vote for the first one, because it will never out of style. After 20 years, the second house will look "old" not classy. Make sure to put a central air conditioner with good installation and exhaust ventilation system. I never see those features in Japanese house.

    I like the first one better. I love the windows, especially the triangle shaped one on the first floor. Our house has lots of windows too, I love natural light and having a great view.

    I find the 2nd one more stylish, but the first one gives more of a "home" feeling :)

    Go for the one that best suits your lifestyle for the next decade or longer; is built with integrity; and is energy efficient with sustainable design. Aesthetics are a personal choice, but choosing one that fits into the neighborhood may be a consideration.

Under the radar winter festivals

There are some winter festivals that get a lot of hype, like the Sapporo Snow Festival, for instance. However, as someone who doesn't like crowds, I enjoy lower-key festivals a whole lot more. Do you have any favorite winter festivals that aren't really tourist-trappy? What makes them fun or unique?

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?
